Fantastic episode once again!
15 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Once again a very different episode, to keep the balance of the series in a momentum and not run out of steam too quickly and it works!

Bo-Katan asks Din Djarin twice if he saw anything in the living waters of Mandalor, this could give us some insight to Bo-Katans future plans with the Mythosaur!

The air battle scene with Bo-Katans Mandalorian Gauntlet Starfighter and the imperial Tie fighters was fantastic, the way the wings can turn backwards makes this large ship very manoeuvrable!

The 'cut-away' story of Doctor Pershing on Coruscant was a refreshing change. Going through a rehabilitation program, in away for us viewers we know he does not need it, as he is not a evil villain, he has no affiliation to any side he just loves his work, one should remember he was held at gunpoint by the Imperial pilots on the Lambda Shuttle when it was captured by Cara Dune and BobaFett, plus he showed them the lay out of Moff Gideon's imperial cruise ship and how the dark troopers power up time!

But. Elia Kane, imperial comms officer but also a new republic spy all a long, could be a triple agent!

She worked for the empire but was really a rebel plant in order to get info out of Pershing?

She's twisting the character of being such a unlikable character, trying to wipe Pershings memories of the projects secretly.. who is she really working for?

The narrative shifts back to Din and Bo as they go into hiding when the Imperial rebels destroy Bo-Katans ancestral castle and she is really pissed off!

She meets for the first time all the members Mandalorian 'sect' that Din Djarin belongs to!

For the very first time in live action 'now' canon we hear the name of her break away terrorist organization being called out 'Nite Owl' by Paz Vizsla This was a all female unit of the Terrorist organization of Pre-Vizsla Death Watch led by Bo-Katan and her second in command Countess Ursa Wren!

Now that Din Djarin is redeemed of his transgression for taking off his helmet infront of other living beings, it turns out that Bo-Katan is redeemed by being of Royal Creed which is different to from Din who is a foundling I guess? But as long as she does not take off her helmet in their presence, as she admitted she does not follow the extreme tradition of the old way!

But as the series goes on, I can see that Pedro will take off his helmet and follow Bo-Katans path as it looks inevitable, having on the helmet all the time means he doesn't need to be under it and do voice overs! He has argued about this point in the past!

Just like the Paz Vizsla character is voiced by Jon Favreau and a stunt performer is in the costume!

I'm sure Pedro Pascal would like the helmet off because he's a actor on 'coat hanger!'

But overall a brilliant episode that creates new webs of interest!
