The Mandalorian Season 1


Originally, I was not going to watch The Mandalorian at all because it was not part of the movie story line. When I continued to see people going crazy over “Baby Yoda”, I had to see what the hype was all about. So, I ended up watching it in one day during a weekend in January. I have to admit I enjoyed it.
I think what caused me to enjoy the show was the relationship between Mando/Din Djarin and Baby Yoda/the Child. I do have to say that when I started the first episode, I called the Child “Baby Yoda” because I did not know the time frame of the show. I originally thought that with Baby Yoda flying all around the internet, it was taking place when Yoda was a child. When I heard from the show that it was taking place after the original trilogy, I stopped using Baby Yoda and started using the Baby. This is all because I went into the show blind with the exception of a creature looking like Yoda. With that out of the way, I will talk about the show itself.
I loved the moment when Din stuck out a finger to the Baby and the Baby put up a hand towards Din. It reminds me of us humans sticking out a finger for a baby to grab onto. I also loved a lot of the third episode. Specifically when Din watched the Baby get taken away, then asking a few times what was going to happen to him, followed by him going to his ship, preparing to fly away, then stop because of the Baby, and ending with him flying away with him. From that point on, I enjoyed seeing Din act like a father. Even if he is doing it unintentionally.
There have been a few times where I would have liked to know what Din was thinking when something happened or was said. One example was during the third episode when Din saw the Baby's bassinet in the garbage. Another time was when the Armorer mentioned the possibility of the Baby being reunited with his people. At that point, is Din not wanting to give up the Baby because he cares about him as if he is his own son? I just would love to know what Din is thinking.
Ending on that note, I enjoyed this season and can't wait to see the second one.

Anne with an E Season 1

I was shocked by all of the abuse Anne went through at the orphanage and her previous keeper through flashbacks. I understand the creators of the show wanted things to be realistic as to how orphans were treated back then but I had no idea that life was so much worse. I hated the other orphans who were terrible to Anne, especially the one who seemed to be the leader. I also hated the classmates and teacher who picked on her. I do have to say I loved it when Gilbert punched Billy. He did deserve what he got since he was messing with the wrong guy. I am happy that Anne was able to, even though it was slowly, make friends. I liked the contrast between Anne and Diana. You have one who is free-spirited and speaks her mind while the other is prim and proper since that was how she was raised. And yet, they got along so quickly. It was also nice that Diana stayed friends with Anne when the other girls their age thought Anne was a disgusting orphan for the things she said. Which, like Mat...

The Mandalorian Season 2

This season of The Mandalorian was a roller coaster for my emotions. Specifically the second half. I think that the first few episodes were more of an adventure thing while Din was trying to find someone to take the Child. I could not believe that it was months or a year since Din and the Child left in search of someone. I liked that their relationship seemed to have grown more since the first season finale. He seemed to be acting more of a father than someone on a mission. Granted, he was on a mission, but he was more fatherly than last season. One example is in the beginning of the second episode when the Child was held hostage. Din said that if any harm came to the Baby, the person would not be able to hide anywhere in the universe from Din. Then, after picking him up, he asked if he was okay. Another example was when he kept telling him no when the Child kept trying to eat/eating things he should not touch. The second half was such a joy! I thought for sure the Child was going ...
