Are we supposed to be suspicious that the fire didn't kill all of those witches?

Do people just lay down and die when fire is nearby?

Do stone and metal structures burn that fast?

I think this show is bad.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the time that Osama bin Laden destroyed two buildings by lighting paper on fire near the door.



I am hoping beyond hope, that this is a set up for the fact that the Jedi caused the destruction of the building and the death of all those witches.

This episode was a step in the right direction. I really dug this one.

Calm down.

Obviously there's more to the story. I'm sure we'll see this same flashback again but from the Jedi perspective.

I was moderately interested in this when the first trailer came out, but I'm underwhelmed by everyone's initial response. I'm wondering it will reveal itself to be worth the watch.

I think it will.

There are some clunky structural issues. But every episode has been stronger than the previous, so far.

And, though we could argue about whether or not shows SHOULD be this way, but it's better on re-watch. I liked the first two episodes a lot more the second time through.

OK. But show me a D+ Star Wars show that got better as it went on.

Snark aside, general consensus is Mando S1, Mando S2, Ahsoka, and (especially) Andor all improved as they went along. You need context.

I haven't watched EP 3 on my TV yet. Just did my first watch on my phone and it was my favorite episode so far.

This is so fuckin weird!

There is no such consensus about Ahsoka. Mando S2 is a maybe. And I forgot about Andor.

Indeed there is.

I'm not saying there is a consensus on overall quality but literally everyone said it got better after the first episodes.

Doesn't mean people loved how it ended, either. That's not what we're saying.
