At this point I haven't been surprised or thrilled by anything. I'm not saying the series is bad. I am enjoying it. It just doesn't have me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next. But yeah, the action sequences in ep 3 were lacking. The whole biker gang seems out of place. Boba should not have lived through the wookie's attack or at the very least should have suffered much more damage.

I think you are wrong about the Tusken Flashbacks being done. This tribe is done, but there are many tribes in the Dune Sea. So I don't think we are done with the Tuskens yet, but time will tell.

You very well could be right. In a way there would be some sense to that. But in another way we haven't previously seen any indication of tusken tribes working together or looking out for each other. Unless they at least show Boba interacting at least once with another tribe, it would sort of come out of nowhere. Although, I do agree with an earlier post that the pile of dead tusken bodies didn't look as big as I expected. Maybe some tuskens escaped and will reappear later.

Other tribes have been specifically mentioned in episode 2 and 3. In 3 there is the discussion about who the tribute is paid to. Boba thinks the Pike is referring to multiple tribes and that he is collecting for all of them. In 2 there is talk about the tribes being separate when they once were joined.

I've enjoyed the series. I don't need a huge meta-plot to have "a slice of life in the SW universe".

That said, that was the slowest most ridiculous chase ever. Like ever. I thought Jedi was overstating, but no it was bad.

I don't get why BF doesn't just end the sniveling mayor's assistant. Respect is good. A small bit of fear does a body good.

BF's new crew is silly, but I so want to see them / this series added to the (formerly) Decipher SW CCG.

Predictions... You heard it hear first... Past BF and current BF storylines will come together as the Tuskens will come to his aid in last episode installing him as the crimeboss of Tantooine.

Well, I'm obviously not paying close enough attention and that surprises me even less.

Dang it . Second third … back of the line somewhere?

So, saw a random Facebook post, and the poster was reminding people the first time Boba appeared (in the Holiday “Special”), he was riding a large animal. I groaned then laughed.

The only part of episode 4 I like was the thought of Boba Fett and Black Krrsantan vs Han and Chewie. I don't think that is going to happen at all but it is something that would be great to see. That said the rest of the episode felt very filler.

The music at the end. Mandolorian theme. Love where this is headed.

A pretty damn good episode of The Mandalorian today.

Yeah, that was a bigger than expected departure. Great Episode but they really took the momentum of the BoBF away is the problem. Ep4 was a huge improvement and I was actually a little disappointed there was no Boba, at all or that story. When watching this episode I thought at most the first 1/2 is Mando other half Fett.

These last 2 episodes better keep the 50 minute marks, there is a lot to jam in. If thius was an 8 epsiode season they could do it, it's only 7. They made it seem like the next episode will be Mando visiting Grogu/Luke. Interesting, I'll judge as a whole when the series completes.

Like I said it was a pretty good episode of The Mandalorian. It was not a good episode for The Book of Boba Fett. I don't know if the next episode will be Din visiting Grogu or not. It might just be reintroducing him and then setting up that he is away for the next episode of TBoBF. I do except to see him delivery the chainmail to Grogu but that might be in The Mandalorian season 3. Though it is nice to see the Naboo N-1 Starfighter in action, seems like it would be a terrible ship for a bounty hunter.
