Much better episode than last.
But I can't wait for Andor to come back. I am missing the much slower paced story telling and tight-knit narrative structure.

And just like that the Coruscant story in episode 3 gained more importance. As some of us predicted.

Also, Deborah Chow, Rick Famuyiwa and Dave Filoni all sitting at that one table at the New Republic base.
I saw that in one of the reaction videos I watch. I should have known the dude with the hat was Filoni.

Seeing Zeb in live action makes me incredibly happy
Darksaber, Bo Katan, a couple of Vizlas, purgils, Zeb and others soon in the Ahsoka series
Us Clone Wars and Rebels fans are vindicated
“but… kid shows”

Bo Katan's arc has been amazing
From being an important member of Death Watch to being the person who will rally all Mandalorians

I swear people on the internet don't understand what aging looks like
She looks like an super in-shape person in her 40s, which is exactly what she is.

Being healthy and not smoking/drinking will keep your skin looking great forever. Not to mention having enough $$$ for skincare treatments. She looks great. Kinda have to though in Hollywood if you want to stick aroundI swear people on the internet don't understand what aging looks like

For sure. People make the same comments about Keanu Reeves and Paul Rudd all the time, and while they both look great, they're also both clearly middle aged dudes. Plus, that particular still is washed out a bit so some of the signs of age she does have are harder to see between the lighting, angle and makeup.
On topic, I've been wondering if they're setting up Djin and Bo as future love interests. Sometimes their body language says yes, sometimes it doesn't.

She's posted her workout/training videos on her Youtube channel:

That’ll keep your body tone for sure but the face is alcohol/smoking/diet based. These people live in the upper echelon of QoL and they get paid hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to look fantastic. They’re probably on extremely strict diets and workout regiments while prioritizing skin care.
Bill Burr has mentioned it on his podcast (also a Mando cast member!) all the time. How a “normal” body weight and diet makes you look fat on screen. He’s 5’9”/5’10” and if he’s over 170lbs he gets made fun of for looking like a fatty
It’s wild. To be in movie shape you’ve gotta live a skinny lifestyle all the time. Which sounds a little non-fun tbh but they make tons of money to be pleasant to look at on screen. I get it.

Yep
Actually she looks normal for age, and because there are so many people have an unhealthy lifestyle they look older than they should and it has become the norm, so unfortunately we hear stuff “wow you look young for someone who is XX young”

That was a good episode. I'm ok with the filler weeks if we get more like that. I wasn't sure how the Mandalorians of Mandalore Mandolorianing around the place plot would play out but the writers have sucked me in enough to be invested.
called it
That was the most entertaining episode so far for me, though I've been only lukewarm on the season. It felt very Star Wars-y and it was nice to finally get a sense of where the season is going. I'm not a fan of the season revolving around Bo-Katan, though. She's not a character that I'm interested in or watching this series for.
Some of the acting in this episode wasn't very good, IMO, and a few things seemed contrived, like the X-Wing pilot going to Coruscant in person so that the villain lady could overhear and then R5 being the explanation for him finding the hidden covert. The writing felt a little rushed to move the plot along, though it did make for a fast-paced and entertaining episode.

I agree with most of this, except for the Bo-Katan thing. Not that I like her that much, I still think it's interesting that they'd shift some of the focus on her - a more complex character than the very one-dimensional Mando and baby.
I can't argue with that. Just about any character is more complex than Mando, but it's still his show and I'd rather that the focus of it not change to a character who might be slightly more complex. If they wanted to focus on Bo-Katan, they could've given her her own spin-off, like Boba Fett got.

Let's not hope for anything else "like Boba Fett"! (I didn't even hate it as much as most people, it was just very meh and 100% forgettable). I might be wrong with the complexity, I was under the impression she was a more conflicted character. But yeah, Mando is pretty much cardboard.
Bloody good episode, this is what I want to see, The Mandalorian lifestyle, practices, and customs.
*Spoilers*I guess that Moff Gideon is one of the Mandos that's currently in the group and the helmet religion makes it perfect for him to blend in.

My first thought was that there were Imperial-aligned Mandalorians loyal to Gideon. The covert we see doesn’t show all the Mandalorians left, which we know because Bo Karan’s mission is to find the rest of them. And it wouldn’t be the first time you had Mandalorians who were traitors to Mandalore (see: Gar Saxon)
