Hasn't the child seen Alien? Don't go near the funny looking eggs and definitely do not eat them!
I loved the humour in this one and that the child had more of a role again, even if he was being a little shit.

I'll forgive him not seeing Alien but not even seeing Rebels? The fuck, man?
That Mando tech is absolutely incredible. They maintain a continuity of visual look through even though it's just one box set. While with Disvo you can spot the seams of set/CGI/location shots.
Mando's screen tech is amazing for lighting, it makes it feel like they have natural lighting at all times when they're in a set. That shot during the magic hour is amazing since they didn't have to wait for the actual magic hour and have a short time to film it. Magic hour 24/7 babbbyyyyy
When the frog lady started frog leaping, I did have a big smile although I wonder why she was holding it back for the first 100 yards they were running! I actually liked quite a few little touches of that short chase, like that Mando stopped to look back to see if his time bombs actually did anything or not rather than just "cool guys dont look at explosions". Then he is like "Nah, fuck all, oh well, keep going!"
The little gag at the end seemed off though. I thought part of the point of the episode would be the Mando parenting thing of "This bloody kid doesnt listen to a thing I tell it" and the baby kind of realising that it shouldnt eat everything on its own terms / at its own pace. He seemed to realise that doing so angered Mando, upset the frog woman and doing it to the spiders is what may have nearly got them all killed. But then in the last second he eats another of the frogs babies so he learned absolutely nothing. It seemed to undercut the theme for the sake of a joke, but maybe the point actually is that he took absolutely nothing away from this experience as he is still too young.

Yep, holy fuck. Personally it was a both a bit of comic relief but also disturbing.
The Child popping that last egg at the end. Fantastic.
Also the spider chase really reminded me of Chamber of Secrets.

That episode was really fun, but I do wish they hadn't done two back-to-back 'Mando attempts to find other Mandalorians but gets sidetracked by a giant monster' stories.
Loved the frog jumping (which honest to god I'm sure it has to be CGI but it was so good I couldn't tell). Those pilots were kinda dicks, reasonably, but they knew he was a good guy, why not help him out?
Also I've decided that the final episode of the series will end with de-aged Luke Skywalker taking the Child into his hands and saying "Oh my gosh, it's like a Baby Yoda." Smash cut to credits.

I just get this gremlins vibe from baby Yoda, like at the end of this season, Mando will find someone who know a lot about this race and he will warn Mando not to feed baby Yoda, eggs after midnight or he will transform to horrific monster and Mando is like "oh shit" lol
Disney's Amphibia is now part of the Star Wars universe.
Edit: ha ha, frog mom has a blaster Derringer, this show is 100% Western tropes, but in a good way.

I was kind of hoping that maybe he was just actually keeping them safe in a separate stomach or something, and it would turn out that all of the eggs had died by the time they reached the husband, but he vomits out the ones he ate and they were fine, but the way he ate the spider, I guess not.
Were those X-Wing pilots from Return of the Jedi? I know the timeline wouldn't make sense, but since they're older I thought maybe it was some sort of cameo.
Nah just Filoni (who was also in season 1) and Mr Kim cameos (similar to Jason Sudeikis in season 1)
Trapper Wolf
Trapper Wolf was a human male pilot for the New Republic. He flew an T-65B X-wing starfighter as leader of an attack squadron with pilots Sash Ketter and Jib Dodger. Circa 9 ABY, the trio located the signal from a tracking beacon that had originally been activated during the Bothan-Five...

Carson Teva
Carson Teva was a human male captain who served in the Rebel Alliance and later within the Adelphi Rangers of the New Republic Starfighter Corps flying a T-65B X-wing starfighter. While patrolling in the Outer Rim in 9 ABY, he and fellow New Republic pilot Trapper Wolf approached the gunship...

I was hoping they'd go into more plot stuff, but it was fun. That claustrophobic ice spider scene was pretty well done.
That beginning fight when he was ambushed was great as well.
No bigger meaning. Just a rough galaxy out there. That's the stuff I like.

I do think they did the Egg joke a little too much in this episode. Not that I don't appreciate Baby Yoda being an adorable little gremlin child, but it felt very one-note.
Cool action scenes. Particularly in the beginning. The scene with the X-Wings was also well done.
Solid episode, but there were a few meh moments that held it back a little.

Anyone think Lady Frog look great? Thats sort of how I imagine Frog would look like if they ever make live action Chrono Trigger, lol
I hope her husband have a cape, round shield and a sword

Really enjoying the world-building this season. The episodic format really allows them a lot more room to show off the different aspects of the galaxy.
Absolutely stellar episode. If they can maintain this momentum/quality, this season will be one for the ages.
I liked the episode even more on a rewatch.. the creature and puppetry work is great. The only section that felt off was the mechanic section, mostly because of the acting.
I don't get these 'worst chapter yet' and 'filler' complaints on social media. Don't they remember chapter 4 and 5?
Edit: Peyton Reed is a super mediocre director imo but he did well here.

The tech is great but you can definitely see the curved background in long panning shots. Not quite there yet.
Kinda unrelated, but I do expect the theme of "The Child might be bad" to come across at some point. If you take someone with MASSIVE force potential, give them no training or context, and pair them solely with someone who lives in the grey area, things could potentially get out of hand. Was always guessing that internal struggle was going to be a central theme either this season or next.
They said to him. He tried to save the Republic officer on the prison ship and he caught all the criminals and locked them up. The one that he "rescued" he set up and they killed him when they attacked the space station, but I dont know if they know that or not. Basically, they are square and if he had talked to them instead of running, he probably wouldnt have been in any trouble in the first place.
