You were higher on it than I. Didn't hate it, but it seemed like a 'filler' episode right off the bat. Although it can be said there is something to the fact that you have no idea what is going to happen next episode.
What I do really like about TM is the deeper dives into peoples we have only seen from afar or from an antagonistic POV. It gives layers to characters like IG-88 and the Sand people. Also expanding their range, like who would have thought IG-88 had great hand to hand combat skills.
I like how this series is expanding the SW universe.

It stretches credibility ( even sci-fi credibility) that his old ship could fly and be repaired.

Even as a 'filler' this last episode did nothing. Far as I can tell there was no foreshadow of things to come, no development of characters we already know, no overall plot twists, no introduction of new recurring characters, nothing. If you took this episode out of the series I don't think anyone would miss it at all.
S2E2 sure felt that way. It didn't advance the narrative of the show. Now, it's possible that S2E3 will do so and this was setting it up. Sometimes that happens. Even S2E1 did something (caught a glimpse of you-know-who at the tail end).
Still, X Wings. I like X Wings. But SO. MANY. SPIDERS.
Accept it D The ship will never die
It must be made by GM. Runs like crap longer than most others will run at all.
But yeah, nice to see things moving and stuff getting fleshed out a bit more.
Guest stars in S2:EP3.
Yeah, that one was great. So many things occurred.
Ha was just about to post about S2EP5 which I just now finished - agreed, a great installment with a lot of reveals, especially if you've read the Zahn novels (which I have, decades ago, don't remember much except the big bad guy's name, honestly - which gets dropped here).
I also loved the overall mood and setting of this one, sorta combined a bit of old western shootout, along with some Asian martial arts feel. Good scenery/sets. I was even struck by the music near the end when Mando goes back to his ship to pick up the kid.
