Oops, guess who started #TheMandalorian today?

*Whispers* I think I kind of love it, guys!! 😬😁

Me: Legitimately has no idea what a Mandalorian actually is.

Me: "I'm not really much of a #StarWars person."

(You all: Jesus christ, WE KNOW.)

Me: Merrily starts #TheMandalorian.

Chapter 1 (no other title given?):

Me, pressing play: If #TheMandalorian never takes his helmet off, why are people dying over how hot he is?

Me, five minutes later: Well, shit. 😂

(Me: Overusing the me/colon meme.)

So, Mandalorian . . . ism? . . . is more like a religion than a species, right? Am I understanding that correctly?

HI, @bigEswallz!!

#TheMandalorian #Supernatural

OOH. OOH.

Somebody spray-painted this logo on the top corner of one of my favorite buildings where I went to college. I knew it was a #StarWars thing, but never knew what it was specifically. I always thought it was cool.

It's a Mandalorian thing, it turns out. Who knew?

EHEHEHEH, it's like a Western where the hardass cowboy has to tame the wild horse, but . . . not. 🤣

Heheheheheheh, these funky things run so silly!!!

Dude. He has spoken.

Is it a problem I was rooting for these two to become an odd-couple pair of bros? #BestBuddies4Life

AAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGHHHHH, I KNEW IT WAS COMING AND I STILL LOST IT.

LOOK AT HIS LEETLE FAAAACE. 😭

Not gonna lie, like 95% of why I'm watching this show is the grumpy-guy-cares-for-squishy-infant thing.

OHHHH MYYYYY GODDDDDD.

Chapter 2, The Child:

Preeetttyyyy. 💕

Pretty!!!

God help me, I love this kid.

LOOK AT HIS BIG PRETTY EYES AND HIS LITTLE TEEF.

HE'S SO FRIGGIN' ADORABLE, I CAN'T STAND IT. 😫

Awwwwww. Good try, li'l buddy.

He wanted to heal his fren, HELP ME.

MY BABY. 💕

HE JUST RIDES AROUND BEHIND MANDO IN HIS LITTLE FLOATY EGG, THIS SHOW IS GOING TO KILL ME.

I'm supposed to recognize these guys from one of the old movies, right? Maybe the first one?

I LOVE THEIR ROLLING FORTRESS.

Mando (or sidekick "I-have-spoken" guy, I don't remember) had a really cool name for it. Earth-crawler? Something like that.

Edit: I can Google. Sandcrawler. 👍🏻

See also: Baby follows in his floaty egg.

GIANT MUDDY FUZZY SPACE RHINO.

GIANT MUDDY FUZZY SPACE RHINO. ON FIRE.

A) This was fucking hilarious.

B) Your baby totally saved your ass, my dude.

I feel you, bro.

Ewwwwww. 😖

FURRY.

WHY WAS THE FUCKING SPACE RHINO EGG *FURRY*?!

HE FOLLOWS IN HIS LI'L FLOATY SPACE EGG.

I WILL NOT SURVIVE THIS. 😭

Chapter 3, The Sin:

HE'S SO TINY. 😭

Dude, watch your baby. Could you not guess that was going in his mouth? C'mon, now.

HIS LITTLE EARSIES FLAP IN THE BREEZE, OH MY GODDDDDD.

Oh no. No no. Sweetie, it's okay. Don't be scared. I won't let anything happen to you. 💕

YOU GO AWAY. LEAVE HIM ALONE.

Um. Excuse you. You put down the damn latinum and march your ass right back in there and GET YOUR BABY. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU??

DUDE. ARMOR IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR BABY. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT "THE WAY" IS.

Also, totally calling it now, his signet's going to be Baby Yoda, isn't it? MUCH better than a damn space rhino.

Yeah, you miss your baby, don't you, you big jerk.

I DON'T LIKE THIS, I DON'T LIKE THIS ONE BIT. 😫

Oh hey. It's the other Mandalorian guys who . . . live underground for some reason? Look who swooped in to save Mando's ass.

For someone so skilled and competent, his ass needs saving on a regular basis so far.

Why can't Mando fly??

YES, YOU GIVE HIM YOUR CONTROLLER-BALL THING. YES.

It makes him so happy to chew on it.

Good boy, Mando.

Also, awwwww. 💕

Chapter 4, Sanctuary:

Me: Oh, this is my favorite cold open so far!! Look at the pretty sparkly blue krill and the happy peaceful fisherpeople and the--

Show: PEW PEW PEW

Me: Oops, never mind. 😬

I mean . . .

I MEAN . . .

Yes, Mando, clearly this child belongs on your lap, YAY!! 💕

Um, yes, hi, this chick is awesome and I love her, thank you for your time.

AWWWWWWWWW!!! 😭💕

So, I'm probably supposed to remember this character for later, right?

She's okay, I like her alright. 🤷🏼‍♀️ We will see.

CUP MEME, YES.

Nobody's seen Mando's face since he was a kid? Aw, sad.

The shot of Baby Yoda playing with the kids while Mando lays his helmet on the windowsill was glorious.

Ohhhh, okay, I didn't know we were dealing with this weird chicken-legged thing in the first pic. I thought it was one of the cuties from the old movies, second pic.

Not nearly as fun, BOO. 😕

UM EXCUSE YOU, YOU DON'T LEAVE YOUR BABY BEHIND, BRO.

(I mean, I get Mando's logic here, but COME ON.)

YES. YOU GO, BABE. YOU GET YOUR MAN. BREAK THROUGH THAT ARMOR. (But only with permission, of course, so . . .)

Oh! Oh! Forgot to mention - the mean space kitty is mean. You leave the baby alone, sourpuss.

Cool creature, though. 😆

Chapter 5, The Gunslinger:

Hmm. This one didn't really do a lot for me. I mean, I love Ming-Na Wen, but I gotta say - I was bored. Sorry!! 😬

(Hi, Ming-Na Wen!)

DUDE. YOU NEVER LEAVE YOUR BABY IN THE CAR, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU??

I did love the babysitting storyline; that was hilarious and cute.

I mean, I don't even do kids, and I would babysit the shit out of this li'l sweetie. I VOLUNTEER.

Also, these guys are great. I'll take 20 of them.

Spooky, pretty shot.

I also don't do motorcycles, but I totally dig these floaty guys. I kind of want one. 😋

Outside of some nice details, though, I liked this one a lot less than the other episodes so far.

Chapter 6, The Prisoner:

Okay, again, this one didn't do it for me.

I saw that this one and the previous one weren't written by Jon Favreau, and, if I remember right, all the other ones so far were. I notice a pattern. I love the Favreau episodes - not so much the others. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Good LORD, she's annoying.

(Oh jesus christ, it's Natalia Tena, WOW. Sorry babe, I'm a fan elsewhere, but you're tough to stomach here. 😬)

Excuse YOU, that is not a PET, that is a BABY, and you will all kindly FUCK THE HELL RIGHT OFF AND LEAVE HIM ALONE.

(Hey buddy. I'll keep you safe, don't worry.)

Mando's got skills. This was a cool sequence.

Oh HI, Matt Latner.

Awww, yes, baby, you 'sploded that big mean droid with your teeny magic hands. You did. 😉💕

Chapter 7, The Reckoning:

Okee dokee, so Mando's got a crew now. He's got hardass girl, and I-have-spoken guy (and his frog horses), and apparently the resurrected Taika-droid from the first episode.

Fun group!!

DUDE. WTF?!

Eeeee! Frog-horse guy rebuilt the baby's floaty space egg, YAY!!

"Are you sure he's alright up there by himself?"

Um, NO. Go help him, you big idiots.

Yeah, it's all fun and games and let's-kill-the-baby until he saves your sorry ass with his freaky magic, right? Then you want to join up with the crew.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS???

Aw, no! I liked this guy. And THE BABY'S ALONE IN THE DESERT WITH TROOPERS ON HIS TAIL. RED ALERT.

Did we know these could . . . fold?

Well, shit. New bad guy in town.

Chapter 8, Redemption:

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK

HE PUNCHED--

HE--

MULTIPLE TIMES!!

*SHRIIIEEEEEKKK*

RAAAAAGE

The joke is that Troopers miss every shot, right?

(I might be reacting to things in the wrong order for these last two episodes - it's been a couple days since I saw them, sorry!)

NURSE-DROID FOR THE WIN!!

Yeah, buddy, you save that baby!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Oh my god, this guy is great.

AAAAHAHAHAHAHA, I KNEW I LIKED THIS GUY. 😆

So, Mando has a name now, btw?

Din Djarin.

Hm.

It's not what I would have chosen, but I don't hate it? I think I just need to break it in for a bit.

Uh oh. Mando down.

Get in there, nurse-droid.

"No living thing has seen me without my helmet since I swore the Creed."

"I am not a living thing."

AWWWWWWWW. 💕

(I don't actually know what Pedro Pascal looks like, and I must say my gut reaction was extreme disappointment that he looks like fucking Eric Bana. But upon further investigation into other media, I think this might have just been a bad angle for the poor guy. I'll allow it.)

Wait . . .

WHAT??

NO!!!!!

WHYYYYY?!?! 😭

I love you, nurse-droid. Don't go. 💕

"Do the magic hand thing!"

🤣

Armorer!!

Okay, so she didn't give him a Baby Yoda signet, but the mudhorn is actually much cooler than I thought it would be. Also, THEY ARE A CLAN OF TWO.

HELL YES HE IS.

I love you so much, baby boy. 💕

Aww, now Mando has a signet and the baby has a Mandalorian teething necklace. I very much approve. 👍🏻

This is supposed to mean something to me, right?

I don't even care. Give me more of Mando and his small green son.

Okay, so! That's #TheMandalorian finished.

I LOVED IT.

I didn't much like the two episodes that weren't written by Jon Favreau, but otherwise, this show is exactly my jam.

I'll take at least four more seasons, predominately written by Jon and directed by Taika, please!!
