Great episode, but it didn't feel like Black Mirror. It's missing the sci-fi element, the dystopian topic, the futuristic technology aspect.

Seems alot of people don't get this show.
Coming here with their comments it's cheap, below average acting, can't take the characters serious, etc ...

Well peeps this isn't a freaking serious ZOMBIE SERIE.
It's a ZOMBIE COMEDY show.
The characters arn't meant to be taken serious.
The zombies don't have to be serious. It's a goddamn comedy.

Its perfect for what it is.

TWD is a zombie show thats serious and see what that gets us? Nowhere. Every episode is just another filler in TWD.

Thats why Z-Nation is that good. cause we don't have lame drama in this show. It resolves around humour and action.

Anyone that comes here and doens't get it. Don't even bother commenting here about the quality if you don't get the show anyways.

Every time it's over I feel like I got punched in the fucking heart. And I basically start counting days till I'll be ready to watch it again. There will never be movies more soulful, profound, engaging and gripping with everything from fights and visuals to the deep meaningful connections between the characters and the explorations of grant purposes and philosophical differences. Never. I will love this eternally. I wish I could rate it more than ten. There are movies and then there's Lotr. To be honest I have no fitting words to describe this, no funny remarks or beautiful epithets and definitely no slights. I'm just thankful this exists and I got to experience watching it. I'm out.

evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and destroy what is good

I'm in love with everything about this, but reusing the Game of Thrones title theme is some bullshit. Djawadi is perfectly capable of writing something new and exciting, or an alternate orchestration at the very least.

So many Star Wars races in a short episode did not make a worth while watch and for me overall just made it a poor drawn out experience of what in my opinion is Disney milking the franchise a little more.

Same people that have brought Mandalorian to life are behind this.
So it begs the question: Why? Why do we need this series? Why not just expand on the Mandalorian series?
It's obviously during a different timeline.. but do we really need it?

First episode is somewhat interesting, but not even close to amazing. Will give it some time because Mandalorian didn't get good till the second season, but not sure how long I'll stay interested at this point.

Disney ruining the few mysteries left from the original movies, boring shit that actively makes the star wars saga worse.

What a disappointing ending to a great episode...
Having Howard get killed off by Lalo out of the blue is the laziest thing they could've done with his character (and the impact of Jimmy's & Kim's actions on his life). I've read a dozen more interesting scenarios on Reddit ffs...

Yeah... that's about how I pictured Howard going out, once it became clear he wasn't going to be leaving by other means. Simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, due to Jimmy.

I feel like they haven't done that good of a job in crafting Lalo as a villain. He does despicable things, sure. But why? Basically all we get as an answer to that is "Salamancas be crazy, yo."

It was a good episode. But this "mid-season finale" gimmick crap needs to die out.

@Tasa24 - While I agree with the first and third of your points, I politely disagree with your second one, in that I still have high hopes for the show, and, as such, am willing to give the writers a chance to catch their second wind. This should give them plenty of time to brainstorm some new ideas, but, on a down note, we will have to wait until next season to see if the seeds they have planted sprout and flourish, or wither and die before they've had a chance to mature.

But when you think about it, unless they find a way to expand the mythology, this is really a one or two season concept at best, unless you start killing off main cast members and replacing them, as you can only wander the backcountry so long, or dig so many holes, rinse and repeat, before your audience gets bored.

This is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. Even the usual dudes that whine all the time about "wOkE" and diversity can't say sh*t.
It was too self-referential and meta in the first act but it got good once Neo was brought back.

This is so bad I don’t even know where to start. So I won’t. Because it’s not worth thinking or writing about. Just let it go Disney, you know nothing about Star Wars.

All those little service robots? Adorable! The Kid? In a space ship? Awesome! The kid eating? Cute! The kid using the force in battle? Great! The Mandalorian (the shiny one)? Cool! The little green alien man without a name? Intimidating! The other aliens? Astonishingly creative costumes and make up! Nice too look at!

The 80s Gothic Vespa/Cyberpunk gang? Stupid. Fennec? Boring! Boba? Couldn't care less!

How did they get that wrong? Constantly? I'm attached to every little service robot a lot more than to Boba...

Plus, it's a weak finale. All that alliance building, diplomacy, politics, befriending local townsmen, Boba in the back story shown as a man who became wiser and more experienced, all that parcours training was totally inconsequential. In the end, it was raw firepower of two guys in an armour and ä donated (!) beast. Yeah, I know it's stupid Star Wars and they love their lasers, but it feels pointless. Plus, the HAL killing robot's aim is extremely poor.

Funny how the episode with the least amount of flashbacks is my favourite. Unfortunately, I've come to ask myself a pressing question: Why should we (or Boba) care whether he keeps control of Mos Espa? In "Star Wars: A New Hope", we cared whether the Rebellion destroyed the Death Star because we knew the Rebellion was stationed on Yavin IV—lives were at stake.

Why should we care if Boba loses Jabba's empire? What's at stake?

7/10

That "car chase" sequence was so low energy and just plain awful!

Jesus Christ, He's supposed to be a crime-lord, not some fluffy peace bunny. Come on Disney, just let him kill somebody, or at least let him beat somebody up. Boba Fett is like a teacher now, scolding misbehaving pupils during lunchtime.

If asked to describe classic Star Wars using three words, they might be “thrilling space adventure.” This series has the same characters (or species, at least) and locales, sky-high production values, and great cinematography, but none of the thrill, none of the space, and none of the adventure. It feels a bit like touring a Star Wars wax museum; I’m left appreciating the artistry but wanting the real thing and wondering what’s the point. I came wanting an adventure story but I’m getting a character study. It’s problematic because, for me, Boba Fett’s allure was his mystique. The more the show humanizes and explains him, the less mystical and less appealing he becomes.

I've really enjoyed the first 2 episodes, while others seems to more uncertain. But this is the first episode I've been worried overall about the series. The modern underworld story just isn't interesting enough - I was kinda hoping we would see more Boba Fett the Bounty Hunter, not this form of a makeshift leader.

The humans grafting droid parts onto themselves, is a new concept in the Star Wars visual world, to my knowledge but it was executed so poorly. It's the first time I've looked at anything in the Disney SW era, and thought, "that doesn't look like Star Wars".

I'm not sure where this series is really going but EP4 needs to pick up the modern underworld story in a big way.

Stephen Root... Danny Trejo... awesome cameos!

on the other hand, the gang of scooter-riding-calvin-klein-models look way too comical for this show --- wtf??

An ok episode. That car chasing sequence on those awfully colored floating bikes though… yikes :grimacing:

The overall season will still hopefully be entertaining enough. But talk about retro fitting a character after the fact. Certainly not the Bounty Hunter we grew up with or imagined based on what little we saw.

I found this to be mostly a unsatisfying ending.

He killed the dog :(

That said, this was probably the best episode I;ve seen so far.

This whole season felt like a goddamn setup for season 6 and I'm a little bit angry about it...
Still very enjoyable, but also slow and too much filler.
At least there's a lot of hype for season 6 now.

Please no more scenes with Naomi. You have an entire universe so why do you have to focus so much on the most boring character of the show.

The directors clearly think Naomi is the most interesting character, but she is absolutely the least interesting character and I abhor constantly being forced to watch her whine and flail.

There was nothing enlightening here. I felt that the engineering from social, psychological, computational, and mathematical aspects were interesting and should have been explored more, since they essentially glossed over the misinformation campaigns running rampant on every social media platform the world over. Even if this doc would've focused on regulation, or the lack thereof, that would've been something, but they chose to not call any entities out, remain middle-of-the-road, and out of the fray. I think that this topic would've been much better served as a multi-part series that explored the various ramifications of social media, rather than 90 minutes of glossed over, big-picture fluff that didn't hit at the heart of any of the numerous implications caused by the inherent designs of social media platforms.

I will say, however, there were far better recommendations for how to combat this ever-present problem in the last few moments of the film, while the credits rolled. The director had the interviewees each list methods they utilize to prevent overexposure to the ills of social media to them and their families.

This is not Nolan's best film but it's still enjoyable. I think I've seen too much time travelling films/series (and films/series that use time manipulation techniques) to find the plotline confusing and hard to follow. This Nolan film also reminded me of Doctor Who, this time, River Song's and the Doctor's relationship: the first time one member of the pair meets the other is the last day of the other member. They have a strong connection despite drifting away from each other in time. I would be interested in seeing how The Protagonist said goodbye to Neil in the future.I like that we do not know and will not know much about The Protagonist (not even his name). I could also understand Kat's character but the main villain not so much. I also like the specific time-manipulation technique the film uses, however, there are certain holes I got annoyed by. Sure, inversed people need their own oxygen to breath and wear masks, but how can they see like at all?
