I loved how Mando was a complete wreck without his helmet.

I also loved how Boba Fett said "Let's just say they might recognize my face".

Yet again, my boys just loved this episode, and are already bemoaning the fact there's only one left for the year.

I had forgotten Mando was the guy from Narcos.

Another big achievement of the show is making Bill Burr likeable  :P

Yeah that is quite the feat. :lol:

Habbaku

:yes:

He was perfectly-cast in the SNL Sam Adams bit: https://youtu.be/je1NIf8GeeY

Just playing himself is easy work.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Nice touch giving the despicable bad guy something other than an Oxbridge accent.  The American accent worked well.

I said earlier taht the scene reminded me of Inglorious Basterds. Django Unchained might be a better fit with King Schultz not being able to take Candy's shit anymore and just shooting him.

yeah, I think that is a good comparison.  Loved the scene.  :cool:

One thing that really bugs me from the episode though... why did they have to bring Bill Burr into the mining facility, since they actually didn't need him to unlock the terminal? (I mean, he gives Mando a stick and then he unlocks the terminal with his own confused face).

Barrister

I mean heck - what kind of security system relies on any old face to unlock?

SOme have argued that it's kind of a captcha, proving that you're not droid or alien. Especially since you have to breach several layers of security to get into the system (get in the base, have a code cylinder).

I think part of it is that he knows the procedures, protocol etc. so he will not be noticed as easily?

He wasnt there for his face, he was there for his knowledge of the protocols

the part that confused me most is mando sending a telegram warning that he's coming. surely surprise would be an asset.
