Gonna watch the season finale of The Mandalorian before the spoiler embargo cracks. Based on the reactions so far, it’s the first time in many years I’ve watched anything Star Wars with high expectations, which means...

Watched it.

Thoughts:

1) Was there fan servicing? Yes. Was the fan servicing earned? Also yes!

2) Favreau/Filoni should thank J.J. Abrams for lowering the bar and making them look like heroes.

2) An episode that pleases both @texasinafrica & @SonnyBunch is impressive. Most impressive.

@CFR_org

At a @CFR_org virtual meeting, CDC director Robert Redfield acknowledges that for the next couple of months the pandemic will be “really rough.”

Redfield also seems to acknowledge the incoming Biden administration, stating that his tenure will end in mid-January.

Redfield flat-out states that for the next 60-90 days the United States will experience daily death tolls that exceed 9/11 and vaccine approval will have no effect on those numbers.
