Cartoon Man posted:Don’t think too hard about eating eggs and turning into a Sith, holy crap. They’re unfertilized and clearly played up for laughs. They're also the last eggs of an endangered species. That's kinda hosed lol. Didn't the frog lady explicitly say they were the last of her people?

Last of her line, which could be different.

Last of her line. Sort of like if you were the last of the "teagone" family and somebody ate/destroyed the embryos that could have been your kids. Presumably there's still other "frog people" out there but if all the eggs got eaten/destroyed that's is the end for Frog lady's family once she and her husband, well, croak.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:They eat sentient beings all the time in Star Wars, they were barbecuing Kowakian monkey-lizards in the first season and they're sentient. And that was also a) hella disturbing and b) played for dark humour. Also, I think their sentience is dubious. It’s like eating...I dunno, a budgie? They mimic what they hear, but are they actually self-aware? Like, in the actual canon, not Tales from Jabba’s Palace.

She was talking about her family line. It was more "they'll be no one to carry on the family name" than baby Yoda committing genocide. It was funny, but maybe it's because I've had two kids and have first hand witnessed plenty of messed up poo poo kids do before they've honed their code of "How hosed up is too hosed up?" My youngest was totally baffled to find out that smashing cartons of eggs on the kitchen floor was not okay because how could something so fun that makes such a cool noise be bad.

In a nice bit of continuity, Dr. Mandible and Frog Lady were both in the cantina during last season's Tatooine episode as well. I wonder if this episode was originally conceived for Season 1 and then reworked for season 2, or (more likely) just a convenient re-use of an alien suit.

Oh that's right, last of her family. My brain isn't functioning properly, what with having not slept in order to stay up and watch Mando, knowing full well I had to be awake ~3 hours after the episode went live for work lmao. Still though, it's pretty hosed either way, just not on the potential wiping out an entire species level. [edit] Frog lady could also be the last of her kind too, maybe. But the show never implied that so

So if they follow the formula from last season I’m guessing episode 3 should move the main plot forward. Hopefully our Mando finds the group of other Mando’s who fled Navaro. Be cool to hook back up with the heavy weapons guy or the Armorer again.

Chapter 3 and Chapter 7 are the big "oh poo poo" episodes to look out for this season, yeah. Based on last season.

I liked how the X-wing guys were cool in a "Don't be a moron, we could fry you in a heartbeat" kind of way. Even after Mando made their lives harder by trying to run, they still came in, saved his rear end and let him off with a warning. Presumably a lot changed in 25 years, because these guys would have eaten the First Order for breakfast with a side of ice-spider eggs.

Mando does a good job of showing the rebels as space cops that could gently caress your poo poo up and are entirely at their whim just like our real cops

I would love for them to have to choose a getaway ship and go for what turns out to be a stock YT-1300, basically the well maintained mid-90s Honda Civic of the SW universe, and then just be puzzled as to why there are absolutely no aftermarket mods. "Interceptors! I'll get on the quadlasers-" "Ion" "This thing only has ion cannons?!" "Cannon. We've only the one."

One of my favorite aspects of this show is just how hosed the ship gets with each episode. I fully expect it to be just the hyperdrive engine by the end of the season.
