The Mandalorian is plenty entertaining, but the idea that it is one of the best 5? 10? shows produced in the past 12 months is surely taking the piss a little.
I haven’t seen the full list of nominations, but I imagine Ludwig Goransson is a recipient? He’s excellent at his craft.
24 is a pretty decent result, perhaps lots of the technical categories in there.

Agree.
TM to me is a charming B-Grade show. Just like Dark Matter was. Charming and fun, kinda immersive, but also shallow story-telling and writing. I think Dark Matter was a LOT better than TM but TM reminds of that.
You do realise that Emmy nominations aren't done by some panel on experts? Anyone can be nominated, and most of the nominations are done by the studios themselves.
That's how Game of Thrones ended up with 32 nominations for it's final season - despite the entire season being a complete abomination, which should have been terminal to the careers of all involved. This is how Alfie Allen, Peter Dinklage, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau all ended up being nominated for Best Supporting Actor; similarly Gwendoline Christie, Lena Headey**, Sophie Turner & Maisie Williams were all nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Most of them nominated themselves.
** Nominated, despite doing nothing in the entire season, except for standing on the balcony and gazing into the distance.
Being nominated for an Emmy is almost completely meaningless. Actually winning one, on the other hand...

Sure, but at some point they have to whittle it down. There are eight nominees in the Best Drama category, I'd be surprised if most couldn't think of a number of other shows more deserving, even if we didn't get shows like Better Call Saul or Fargo underwhelmed for many this year. For me, The Mandalorian is fun, a bit above guilty pleasure, but not prestige drama.

Cobra Kai is in there which is well deserved, but it's for comedy when it has at least as much dramatic punch as this.

Don't forget being crushed to death by debris that could have been avoided if she stood 5m to the right

I hope I'm allowed to quote it.
Actually no…three pages of non Mandalorian content breaks up the monotony
Probably will win 23…but Best Drama…come on, it’s not like I cried in those last 2 minutes or anything
Genuinely loved this series/show. That’s it.

Seems like Slave I officially renamed now but I'll do some more reading.

Season 3 is starting filming very soon. We should see it next year.
The Book of Boba Fett is still due this December I believe. Very keen for that, I have high hopes after his redemption in the last few episodes of The Mandalorian.

Reckon there could be a link in to Bad Batch too.

Wasn't that the class of ship?

Yes.
At this stage it appears they're going with that over Boba Fett's ship. Can't quite say it's official but surely we can certainly say Slave 1 is gone, those saying it was just a marketing thing were wrong.
Tell your sisters... You were wrong.

Unless I’m mistaken, the words “Slave 1” have never been said in any of the films etc right? It’s just always been known as Slave 1. So whether it’s official or unofficial, or Firespray or not, I guess I’ll always know it as Slave 1.

I always found the spacecraft odd. Odd shape and its landing and flying manner. Sitting parallel to the ground at take off and landing.
