Today's Mando episode has me convinced that the writers must be allergic to the name "Satine Kryze"

#FOR PETE'S SAKE #THE GYMNASTICS THEY DID AROUND MENTIONING HER #WHAT THE HECK #JUST FREAKING SAY HER NAME STOP PRETENDING SHE DIDNT EXIST #UGH #The Mandalorian #Mando #Satine Kryze #bo katan kryze #Din Djarin

"Omg Ezra was traumatized by the Lothal Jedi Temple how could Jedi do that to kids?!"

He wasn't traumatized he was temporarily frightened. And he got over it. In that episode.

Because a huge part of the whole being a Jedi thing is confronting your fears and not letting them master or control you.

Also:

Say you don't understand the nature of children's/family shows sometimes having to put their kid protagonist in perilous situations in order for them to have narrative agency without actually saying it.

#taking out the rebels tag trash #trauma coddling AND jedi hate that's an auto-block #people! it's fiction!#sometimes in order to have a story you have to have bad things happen to your protagonist!#so they can grow!#so conflict and character arcs can happen!#'but that was really scary!' yes and ezra saw it for the illusion it was and KICKED ITS ASS #HE EARNED HIS KYBER CRYSTAL #FOR PETE'S SAKE

Peter Tork performing “For Pete’s Sake” in Michigan, August 1987. (x)

“The lyrics [to ‘For Pete’s Sake’] were just out of the air. It was basically just me playing these chords at my house, and my then-roommate, Joey Richards, was with me, and he threw in a couple of odds and ends of lines as I was going along. It just fell right into place. There was no particular reference, we weren’t thinking about anything much. The lyrics sound a little silly to me now, but it was okay. [...] [It was] my first song on a Monkees record and my first song that I had written.” - Peter Tork, Headquarters 2007 liner notes

“The thing about it that I remember is that one note is an added fourth, it’s not suspended. It was so weird and it sounds so funky. I was really pleased with that. It just fell out of my hands, you know? It was one of those things where my hands just wrapped around the guitar and that’s what they did. It was my first song on a Monkees record and my first song that I had written. There was one song that I wrote before that in… oh god, I don’t know… ’62 or something like that.” - Peter, The Monkees Day By Day

“I came to a halt at the third line and Joey threw in a line. The lyrics to For Pete’s Sake are kind of teenage in its grasp of the issues shall we say, the depth of its grasp of the issues but it’s certainly a fun song.” - Peter Tork, Rock Cellar Magazine, 2016

“Mike named it. He’s fond of naming songs with utter disregard to the content, theme, or lyric of the song. He just thought it was funny to call it ‘For Pete’s Sake,’ and I thought that was cool. I hadn’t thought about a title when I brought it in to the studio. They said ‘Sure, this is a good song, we’ll put it on the album,’ and there you go. Bob Rafelson, one of the producers, decided to use it as the ending theme for the show. I’m proud of it, sure. And also the fact that I wrote two songs in the movie Head — ‘Can You Dig It’ and ‘Long Title: Do I Have to Do This All Over Again.’” - Peter Tork, Mental Floss, 2014

“Check the lyric ‘A Better World’ for a rather more sophisticated and for my money a more direct and useful approach to the issues at hand although it was wonderful to have the song selected as being the closing theme to the TV show from the second season through all of its reruns. […] ‘A Better World,’ which was written by my brother Nick [Thorkelson] and I produced it. […] I think it’s a very good song and it’s easy to listen to. It’s not turgid or thick but it’s very significant. I think it talks to a very important world point. I’m just pleased as hell to even have had a chance for it to go on a limited edition thing. I would have liked for it to have been on the original album [Good Times!] but it didn’t come to pass that way.” - Peter Tork, Rock Cellar Magazine, 2016

Deep dives into character drama and especially Woodard's Mariah help make this one of the best episodes of the series altogether, even if its logic isn't great at the end.

I finally want to know…

…who will be the next James Bond.

...how the bible was faked.

...if Elvis is still alive.

...what I should do.

...who ya gonna call.

...the truth about George Santos (not really).

...how to spot the faster lane.

...if we all live in a simulation.

...why discrimination was invented.

…who’s Pete for Pete’s sake.
