The last 2 eps were quite good, along with the first one.  The rest are debatable though.  I think it could've just as well been 6 eps with each being a bit longer in turn.  

everyone is saying how good it is now....but I gave up half way and I have no intentions of coming back. episode 3 and 4 were so boring

I watched the last episode yesterday. Wow, that was awesome!

 

Spoiler

I loved the opening with the Scout Troopers talking and not being able to shoot the can! Hilarious exchange and reference! :rofl: I'm kind of sad they got shot, I could have seen them become a running joke through future series.

Also, Gideon is a Sith?

 

Now I've got to wait a whole year to continue... :(

I don't think so, don't let the dark saber fool you.  I believe that has a part Mandalorian lore and not something directly related to Jedi/Sith.

I was the same, watched the first 4 episodes and i was bored all the way through, the Star Trek Picard 1st episode was better then the first 4 of the Mandalorian.

According to the IMDB, it will be released weekly...8 episodes with the finale on 18 December.

That's a pity. Although as I was writing the question I kinda figured  it would be like that. I'm sure they realised after releasing season 1 all in one go that it made more sense for their subscriptions to do a weekly release and keep people on their platform for longer.

Do you really need to rewatch season 1?  Don't get me wrong, if you want to and have the time go for it, but to be honest here, not much actually happened.  The episodes/plot for season 1 isn't exactly packed with details you have to keep track of.

Do I need to? Of course not. Do I want to? Hell yeah! I'm a Star Wars nut and thought it was great fun. :laugh:

"The Western and Samurai Influences of 'The Mandalorian'"

 

Quote

The series is an entertaining mix of complementary styles, and it’s chock-full of nods to the American and Japanese pop culture that inspired its creation. With this in mind, here are some of the films that are part of the show’s DNA.

Dare I say that I've been less enthused with the last two episodes (2 and 3).  In fact ... they kinda bored me.

 

Hopefully things pick up with the tease of you-know-who in the next episode.

I found 2 a bit meh, really enjoyed 3 but felt it seemed a little short.

I don't know how to feel about the runtime of each episode. That they range from 30 minutes to an hour can be frustrating as I don't know how much I'm getting each episode, but I guess I prefer that rather than there being unnecessary padding to stretch the episode out.

 

I've enjoyed the episodes so far, and it was great seeing Timothy Olyphant and Katee Sackhoff in their roles. I doubt we'll see the marshal again, but if what I've read about Bo-Katan is right I hope she'll come back at some point.

It wasn't The Mandalorian, but some Netflix/Prime show where they said one of the filmmaking benefits of streaming is not having the time constraint and going at the pace the story dictates.  I can get behind that.  But damn 3 felt short.

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it

      i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
