Mandalorian Season 3

Yeah that is goofy. Bo Katan is leader of her clan though, so maybe she is expected to wear her armor whenever she's "working". In the Republic Commando novels, the Mando characters only wore their armor when they were going into an environment that might be threatening, to intimidate, or into actual combat. Otherwise they were in street clothes and it was commented on that the lack of armor didn't make them any less intimidating. IMO the goofiest thing ever is Death Watch not removing your helmet. I'm guessing they mean removing it around non Mandos, but it just sounds silly. The other thing that needs addressing, other than they just changed it on a whim, is that Death Watch and regular Mandalorians would shoot each other on sight, no questions because Death Watch are traitors. In the series Bo Katan comments on Din being part of a cult, but was willing to talk to him.

I don't really see what's so silly about it. It's just a quirky custom of a quasi(?)-religious cult. There are all kinds of real world religions and cults that have what may seem to some like odd habits and dress codes as well. I also think there is confusion regarding the helmets because I've seen some people that seem to mistake "never taking their helmets off around other people" for "never taking their helmets off at all".
Also, can we assume the Children of the Watch are the same as the Death Watch?
Regardless, I suspect part of Djarin's arc will involve eventually abandoning the cult and becoming his own person and likely revealing his face more often like "mainstream" Mandos.

It's funny, because I immediately thought that was a blatant Expanse reference and it kind of came out of left field
Not just you. Even just comparing each season premiere, this one is without a doubt bottom of the barrel.

The other aspect of this is that Bokatan was seen as a terrorist to the pacifist Mandalorians, so every time she brings something up, my inner dialogue goes “bihhhhh plleeeaaassseeee.”
Even Mando called her out on it. The planet isn’t cursed. Then it is. She is deathwatch, which is a cult. But hates that Mando is a child of the watch, which is also a cult that is assumingly derivative of her own cult? She had the sword that allowed her to lead her people but failed. Also, she lost that sword that allowed her to lead her people, and wants it back to lead her people again.
Not too keen on the character or the inner workings of what they’ve written anymore…it seems as if they don’t want you to think about the details.
Glad I'm not the only one whose ears perked up when I heard "belters"
The more I think about this the more I lean on believing that the Death Watch finished when Bo Karan’s Night Owls left and Maul took over. I imagine that it was such a huge event that they differentiated the groups that still aligned/descended from Death Watch as Children of the Watch. My best real world parallel would be Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR)≈Children of the Watch after The American Revolutionary War≈Takeover of Mandalore.

Obey,consume...
Wish list..
1. Get rid of that rubber Space Muppet baby
2. Actually send Mando to Mandalor
3. Unite Mandalorians
4. Moff Gideon returns for a two Ep epic space battle culminating in the return of Thrawn.
5. No legacy characters swooping in to save the day.
But...
I'm guessing
Boba Fett will make an appearance as will Cobb Vanth as the new marshall.
At the moment I'm more interested in what's happening to Cobb..
Oh and Grubber baby will get too much screen time.

At the end of Series 2 & baby Yoda went off with Luke, Mando had removed his helmet, he was in possession of the Dark Sabre, I thought that had been a massive forward step
I thought perhaps he would meet up with the wee green guy sometime in the future, perhaps in the final episode of S3, this series would be Mando stepping up to his responsibilities as a leader, massive battles perhaps with him & Bo-Katan
Really we have a lead character who doesn’t talk much & his sidekick who can’t talk

I’m having way too much fun with this but still holding on to hope that he hits his stride! I just read this passage from an Inverse review:
“The Mandalorian painted itself into a corner with the plot points it scattered like birdseed across Season 2 and TBBF but instead of picking at these loose ends and tying them up over the course of the season, Episode 1 dedicates itself to that necessary evil, leaving Episode 2 to (thankfully) deliver more considered, progressing, and episodic plot like we’re used to. After watching the first two episodes of the season, we can promise it’s worth it in the end.”

Sounds like my reaction after seeing Book of Boba
The Book of Boba Fett
They set up why. Remember the conversation after they tried using the Darksaber. Something to the effect that energy weapons could not impact the shields and that the melee weapons did not have enough force. So they basically needed something that was not an energy weapon but just brute...

At least the show is self aware-
Greef Karga: “I am confused. You finished your quest and your still running around with the same little critter.” In my head canon Greef looked at the camera , broke the 4th wall, and winked.
It was good fun, my only real gripe -like others have said- is the runtime. Last of us, stranger things, etc have spoiled me.
