The Mandalorian

They are supposedly 40min episodes, though ep1 is officially 39 and without credits it was like 37min by my watch.

That is my only gripe so far, I was expecting GOT length (~50+ min) episodes.
So we're going to get just over 5 hours of show in 8 episodes.

episode 2 minus credits was like 28 minutes, give or take

yeah, like i said, there isn't really any filler so that's nice.

i'm actually pretty amazed by how much emotion the mando has without being able to see his face and hardly any dialogue. it's all very subtle body language and camera angles.

I would go full Anakin on those Jawas. Wipe them all out.

Realistically they would have been long before now someone would be pissed off enough to do it.

GoT was originally 37-38 minutes per episode as well, HBO forced them to throw reshoot footage into every episode to artifically make them longer.

I don't think we need that in the Mandalorian.

Episode 2 only 30mins long? Fuck!

I love this show though, already better than the recent star wars films and barely anything has happened. Hope they keep it up with others in the universe. I think TV shows do the IP more justice than films can.

Earlier in thread...
It's not the real Yoda...

What was with that awful musical score? Also I'm seriously disappointed they didn't show him going back and blowing up that sandcrawler once he put his ship back together.

Him not understanding that the baby was using the force is just retarded and they really need to let that concept go. There's no fucking way the galaxy would have forgotten what the Jedi could do that quickly, especially since there were Jedi openly operating in the galaxy during the entire Rebellion period and even if you want to claim that information about them was successfully suppressed, no Mandalorian would ever forget the Jedi seeing as how the Jedi are the reason that Mandalore is an uninhabitable wasteland.

Weekly releases wouldn't be so bad if they were 50+ minute episodes. But, 28 minutes of content once a week just doesn't cut it in 2019.

The hell? TV shows on regular cable are like 22 minutes long. Maybe you are just spoiled from shows with long episodes.

Dont think you can compare this show to fucking Scrubs or the Simpsons.

Comedies maybe. I can't think of a single serious adult show I've watched with 22 minute episodes, certainly not anything I'm currently watching.

Will pull it later. I got Soygen on deck.

If you read the threads, you don't need a citation. Just a friendly reminder to the usual cast asking for a citation.

Episode 2 was phenomenal, great job of showing how much you can convey without dialog. He even sounds like Clint Eastwood when he talks with the helmet on.
