Well, I've now finished S3 of #TheMandolorian, and ultimately it was... okay?

It ended well*, but I'm not sure how they managed to make an 8 episode season feel like it was at least half filler.

An impressive feat that, but one that has a *very* limited use-case, I'd think.

(*) At least, the last two episodes felt 'good/better', but how much of that was the quite lowered expectations after seeing the middle episodes, I can't really say. It will definitely get a fourth season, and probably a fifth, but I very much hope they are better than this effort.

Meanwhile, #StarTrekDiscovery is ending with season 5, (which we don't get to see until next year anyway, and IMHO that's a damn shame. It finally #GrewTheBeard in late s2, and just kept getting better, I feel. I'm really going to miss Discovery and her crew/family.
