I like The Mandalorian so far. The style, the story, I just enjoy it. Love the Baby Yoda too.
But I have to vent: why the hell does he always leave the ship open? It's just such a dumb thing to do! It almost cost him the ship in previous episode, and his life this one.
I don't take the entire show too seriously, but this one really breaks the fantasy for me.
Yeah, it's just something that you seem to do in Star Wars, and I agree, it doesn't make a ton of sense. For me, the strangest moment was when the tribe came together to save Mando, and then just...

For me, the strangest moment was when the tribe came together to save Mando, and then just told him to run off. They were all going to have to go somewhere else, why not go somewhere else together? It's not like Mando had anywhere in particular to actually go himself.
Bounty fobs would lead hostiles to wherever the Mandos all went as long as mini-Yoda was with them. I don't know if that's the canon reason but it seems like a factor.

I think this episode was better than the previous one. It wasn't filler and there wasn't as much baby yoda in it. When will they realise that putting children in Star Wars is a bad idea?
That said, the plot is boring and predictable. You'd think a TV series would have a deeper story than a movie, but apparently that would be too risky. So it takes things very slowly, with not much happening other than action revolving around two characters who don't even talk. Oh well, we haven't even seen half the series yet, so hopefully the upcoming episodes are more interesting.
It feels like these 3 episodes comprised what would have been a single pilot episode in a lot of other shows. Now it seems like the stage is set and the show could go any direction - unless the...

Yup! Felt the same. I think the whole "baby Yoda" thing is putting a damper on what this series could be, to be honest. I mean... it's cute as hell, but it's totally pandering.

I honestly wanted him to just drop off Yiddle, walk away to a new job, and be haunted by his actions later. I feel like his actions weren't really justified to me either, as some have pointed out.

Although I've enjoyed the relative lack of exposition so far (show, don't tell) I feel like I needed a bit more justification for M going back and rescuing the kid. Are we supposed to link his sympathy to the kid to the childhood flashbacks? Because that didn't seem like enough to me.
Also I'm confused by the other Mandalorians, I thought for sure that when he went against the guild, he was also going against his fellow Mandalorians since they appear to use bounty hunting as a way to survive. Which he has now jeoparadized. So I think I'm missing a crucial piece of lore there.
I get that there's probably something in the guild's Code that says "no take-backs," as was suggested in the dialogue, and Mando's actions would set an unfavorable precedent for the guild. But it...
So he betrays the code of the Bounty Hunter Guild,
I get that there's probably something in the guild's Code that says "no take-backs," as was suggested in the dialogue, and Mando's actions would set an unfavorable precedent for the guild. But it seems to me that he had completed the transaction and his obligations were fulfilled. He gave the Imperials adequate time to take over the security of Yiddle, and Mando had returned to free agent status by the time he attacked.
I wonder if the guild's Code would have allowed a second, new bounty to be placed on Yiddle. Mando could have completed it and been free and clear as far as the rules are concerned.
Also, the mandolorian that Mando has a fight with says something about only one mandolorian being able to go out at a time. I got the impression that the bounty hunters had no idea that there was...

I think the answer to both of those is that the Child is now a Foundling, in that he was found and rescued by a Mandalorian, assuming that I'm understanding correctly that Mandalorian tribes are just as much whoever gets brought into them as much as who's born into them. Mando himself was likely a Foundling, and there's probably a "leave no man behind" clause in the Mandalorian way that would override any pragmatism or Bounty Hunter's code.

Maybe he can only close it from the inside.

Great clarification, thanks!
Side note: really love the "heavy" Mandalorian that looked like a Space Marine.

Well, yeah. It's basically SWTOR (Star Wars The Old Republic) set in a post-Imperial era. I was saying that from the start.
