So, that was season finale...
I loved the indigenous farms!
Axe Woves riding the imperial cruiser down into the base was pretty awesome! However, what happened to all the TIEs? Was he able to take them all out just by himself on the one cruiser?
Seeing Djarin fight with all the various weapons was pretty awesome but then he kept dropping them. Like why drop that baton for a blaster when the baton worked a lot better against beskar armored enemies?
Poor Darksaber! I hope that they get it fixed next season!
Since when is Gideon such a great fighter? Like was the suit giving him that much better abilities? Bo Katan alone should have ripped him to shreds with the Darksaber, let alone taking the three of them and an exploding base to take him out.
Three Praetorian guards versus Grogu in his IG-12 mech. My kids were freaking out at this part, and I can't blame them. I was kind of hoping to see Grogu use some more force abilities like choke or lightning. And before someone tells me that is a dark side ability, let me remind you that Jedi have no problem swinging around deadly lightsabers, so our little guy that has used force choke before to defend his dad, should well have done the same thing here.
I love how when the base is exploding, both Bo-katan and Bjarin dive to protect Grogu. Only to see him saving them by diverting the flames and everything away from them. A great moment!
The adoption scene was great and is it me, or was Djarin the armorer's apprentice? It just seems that she treats him differently and that would explain it. The Great Forge scene was epic! Seeing all the Mandos together was a major moment! I hope to see their progress next season.
I like that next season we are going to go back to bounty hunting and patrolling the outer rim with the New Republic! I wonder if that means Djarin will have to get a new ship? The N1 works great as a patrol fighter, but for bounty hunting, not so much. I loved the cabin ending scene and marshal IG-11 on Navarro.
Overall, I am just waiting for more of this great show. The worst episodes are still better than the best of the sequel trilogy scenes. While I look forward to the next Star Wars show, this one has been my favorite since its debut and I gladly await its return.

Regarding Gideon
we've seen he is an effective fighter before. A super strength version covered head to toe in Beskar (and Mando style weapons) is going to be very difficult to beat.
The armor's made of Beskar. Leaving aside whatever else it's doing to enhance/protect Gideon, no lightsaber (or Darksaber) is just going to cut through that.
You might be better adjusted than Moff Gideon. You life doesn’t go like his without making some questionable decisions in life.
I thought that, too! I'm sure it was done for us, the viewer, to make it obvious that they were clones of Gideon. But generally you don't want your entire super soldier team to have to knock off at 3:30 to be at the restaurant by 4:00 for the early bird special.
IIRC in the book they got it right after he lost it and froze it right away. It took several years to isolate the genes and grow a Luke
I think that decision was driven more by ego than practicality
I mean, one of the clones woke up just before Din euthanized them. If we're going to see clone-Gideon in the future, he'll need to look like Giancarlo Esposito.
(And Gideon said himself last episode that the suit he's wearing is the new Darktrooper "with me inside it." --it's not just armour, it's a powersuit.)

I'm going to just post unmarked spoilers despite not having seen the new episode, read the forum posts, or anything else actually useful. I know how the Mandalorians will learn about their lost culture!
“But Mr. Peabody, there’s something about Mandalore’s terrible dark future we saw that I don’t get…”
“What’s that, Sherman? Why Grogu the Terrible sentenced us to death by cooking for opposing his tyrannical regime?”
“No, I get that, I just don’t understand how he was using the Darksaber anyway, when he’s so short.”
“Oh, that wasn’t a problem, in fact, he solved it by having his weapon ceremonially blessed by Tim Conway.”
“Tim Conway?!”
“Of course! Haven’t you ever heard of…the Dorfsaber?”
*end note*

Its Wednesday and there is no new Baby Yoda show! I am already going through my Mandalorian withdraws.
This is the way.
You have to hold on till Season 4.
This is the wait...

Seasons 1 & 2 of this streaming "exclusive" are finally come to Blu-Ray and 4K, after Disney+'s utter failure to make so much as a dime. It's in the first (of more to come, hopefully) wave of releases alongside Marvel's Wandavision & Loki as well as the surprisingly enjoyable Predator prequel, Prey.
Ironic Disney was previously in such a hurry to abandon discs as a revenue stream in favour of streaming, which is doing nothing but losing money everywhere. They'd even gone as far as discontinuing physical media in the Australian market.

I might pick these up on sale, but to be honest, I don't ever see myself dropping Disney+ as I use it more than any other streaming service.
