You are now joining Children of the Watch.

Alex Ryan is the number one podcast in the galaxy for all things. The Mandalorian. I'm your host Alex Maxwell and joining me as always is Mac Lacey Alex were back with our second weekly breakdown for season three of the Mandalorian.

What an amazing episode chapter 18 was. There is so much we're going to have to talk about.

You have no idea how much we have to talk about on this episode. I mean, I could not believe that we went straight to the minds of Mandalore and the second episode of the season. And that makes you wonder what do we have lined up for the rest of the season.

Exactly. I mean, a lot of the stuff that I figured was going to be upcoming, you know, that we might get to later in the season. We just did in the second episode season three. Yeah, it could really go anywhere from here.

I really could and I lost my mind in this episode. Like I could not believe some of the things that we were seeing some of the Mandalorian lore that was added to the vernacular that we we know and it's actually there's some things that might have been slightly changed and not in a big way.

But like what we thought we knew was changed. And so like we didn't actually know it. We just we had good educated guesses and now we actually know some things that we can start adding to our Mandalorian lexicon. So there's a lot of things that we can break down in terms of lore wise.

I mean, what a great episode this was. Let's just kind of get into our general thoughts and feelings right now. Is that good with you? Is there any business that we need to take care of Mac?

I mean, you know, just the usuals. Check us out on Twitter and Instagram, COT watch. Definitely you check out our Patreon page. Check out keep the watch.com for merch and that kind of stuff.

A great way that if you can't support us on Patreon probably the best way to support us is leaving a review over on Apple podcast or Spotify and rating a review in the podcast and letting people know about the podcast. I think that's that's the best way you can actually help the podcast if you enjoy it.

So we're almost to 1800 reviews on Apple podcasts. We're about 20 away. So we did a really good job this past week, but we're 20 away. I'd love to get there before chapter 19 of the Mandalorian. I think we can do it.

But let's jump into just our general thoughts and feelings before we do the official scene by scene breakdown. And if you're new with us, we do see by scene breakdowns here.

But we don't want to miss anything, right? Like we don't want to skip anything because sometimes people can go and rabbit trails. Well, I mean, we're going to stick to everything that happened because there's some clues hidden out throughout these episodes that we got to talk about that might not seem like a big deal on the surface, but they're really big deal.

And then we would love to hear you guys call in to our voicemail hotline 205 259 66675. We've got a ton of calls already and I can't wait for that episode later this week. But Mac, how do you feel about the episode?

I feel pretty good. I love that we we kind of in this installment wrapped up the setup. I feel like we need to get out of the like, you know, chapter 17, the first episode of this season did a really, really, really good job of kind of giving us the necessary.

Yeah, a great starting point to jump off of for the season. This episode kind of wrapped that kind of that stuff up and then got us right into the the action we kind of have now set off on our adventure. I feel like it was like half set up then like the rest of it's like, okay, here we were really now in season three.

Like what the crux of it's going to be and I was kind of shocked that like I said at the opening of the podcast that we're doing this right now. Yeah, like now you got to keep in mind we had to set up episodes in the book of Boba that for this as well. So it's really kind of like the fourth episode where this is happening.

And it's it's culminating right here, but like it's just incredible to see because it gets me really excited for what's to come. Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we've got we kind of went back and forth on when we thought the minds of Mandalore were going to fall. Yes, I definitely.

This is this is earlier than I've been thinking recently. So yeah, it's exciting. We got.

And just just like we set up top as well, the the Mandalorian lore that we got in this in this episode. We're really filling in some gaps and we're going to get to, you know, all those little easter eggs and making those connections as we continue to break down. But we've got we've got to do some speculating to you on whatever that met.

That met destroyed humanoid thing was because yeah, that was something. So I'm really excited to talk about that. I'm going to give you a little history lesson on Boone to Eve.
