Rama's great big, itty-bitty completely ******** Episode 2 review:
[This contains a mix of good and bad, so bear with me] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPOILER ALERT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*I found the opening sequence VIOLENTLY annoying. Violently. This person really annoys me, the sound of their voice is triggering even. IS this person really as bad as Episode 1's Babu Frik squad? Just might be!
*Flippin', zippin' Grogu: come ON, man.
*Stunning visuals. Stunning.
The surface of the planet covered with green shards and plates of glass: stunning. The jetpack descents into the subterranean city: frickin' stunning. That horrible cyborg: not stunning, but most certainly memorable. WTF is that thing? We'll never know.
*Grogu actually does stuff these days. I am fine with that, as long as he's not flippin' and zippin'.
*Let's talk about Bo-Katan: the only real Mandalorian present in this episode. I SAID WHAT I SAID!!!! Bo is the real deal. THAT is a Mandalorian. Bo is not ******* around. She is wielding the Darksaber, which not even Din can do correctly. Bo: no problemo! Gimme that thing. She has her little shield, she is slicing, dicing and kicking ass. Bo has all my respect. Her ship is cool as ****. I look forward to the Hot Toys Deluxe version with the Darksaber, shield and throne. Make it happen, HT.
That is some for-real girl-power right there, and I am here for it. This is the wife for Din. I will accept no substitutes. Not only does Bo kick ass, she is smarter than Din the Himbo. He needs that. Get it, girl!
*So, we are down in the mines where evidently, we are hearing the Call of Cthulhu. *bemused* Okay!! I am down with that. Thank goodness for Bo! She is the only one doing any heavy thinking, evidently.
This week's tally:
