    I don’t think it’s that hard to understand why Ragnar was alive in the stomache. He’s wearing a suit of armour that protected him from the teeth and digestive acid

    Even if he only has a beskar helmet I think the heavy leather could survive for some hours. You can see that his suit is worn and torn at the end

    The helmet seals and has a small amount of oxygen storage.

    Small amount, yes. But twelve hours worth? That's a big stretch. And none of that is conveyed in the episode.

    In theory - if they ever bother to treat this as something they should explain - they could have the idea be that if you turn on a Mando-helmet “seal”, it’ll filter any air onto something breathable or even comes with some kind of air supply, and that Foundlings wear a “space gambeson” like the adults that has some environment protection aspects. If Ragnar has an air supply he activates and a suit that could survive space, it’s possible that the inside of the dragons stomach is survivable itself.

    (Maybe there could even be a joke that after Gamera interrupted his baptism, he just went around with his helmet seal activated because he had a sinking feeling something else would try to eat him.)

    …or they could just kind of shrug and say “Eh, Harryhausen hijinks” and never address.
    I think she’s generally realized that she should be near Din, the Darksaber, and be willing to investigate the Tribe simply because the Mythosaur alters the landscape of her reality enough that's the wisest move; I think she chose to keep her helmet on after seeing the Mythosaur because she realized that joinging the Watch might be an advisable move, even if she didn’t know yet if she wanted to do that.

    I think it’s a bit like a character who’s aware of *some* magic in her world being alerted to the possibility over types of magic or folklore might be real as well, and investigating that while maintaining a mix of skepticism, anxiety, and faith.

    …This is two episodes in a row where they’ve played more menacing music when Bo thinks about or talks about the Mythosaur; I think they want us to be anxious and unsure about Bo and this stuff, regardless of how it turns out.

    Joseph Scrimshaw made a couple of great connections back to Season 1. First is an illustration of the Armorer's statement that following the Creed makes one "both hunter and prey." In the second, he posits that there's a ritual significance to the flashbacks at the forge, tied to the Armorer's metaphor. He doesn't mention that we don't see the same for Bo-Katan. But in her case, I think she wouldn't need to revisit something from years or decades earlier, because something that has significantly and recently shaped her perception is represented right on the wall.

    Yes, the way she's staring at the Mythosaur bust is the equivalent to Grogu's memory. Each is the thing the individual characters are struggling with.

    He's been trained to hibernate in situations like this. His heart rate drops to 1 bpm and he breathes about once every two minutes. The small air supply in his helmet will then last him about 13 hours.

    Two episodes prior they made a conspicuous point of showing Mandalorians activate the seal on their helmets so they could be submerged in water. If pushed on this inane subject, I am certain the writers would point to that exact moment as their explanation. You know... aside from the possibility of the dragonbirdthing having a completely foreign physiology to anything we know. It might be a mouth breather for all we know.

    There are a few different ways they could explain the oxygen issue. One is the helmet, and they could say that when the helmet seals what it does is recycle the air such that no new oxygen is needed.

    They could also say that there is enough air inside the beast for someone to remain alive. We see something similar to this in the recent season of Vox Machina -- two heroes go inside of an acid dragon's colon and stomach and they have enough air to last them in there and acid isn't a problem for some time.

    Large burnt structures can smoke for days, so it’s possible he was in there for just as much time (or more) as Ragnar was in the dragon bird thing.

    Also this is a galaxy where people can survive 1000 years inside a sarlacc somehow. Maybe stomachs in the GFFA operate differently to the ones in ours

    Even Mark Hamill has played more than 4 characters:

    Luke
    Darth Bane (in TCW)
    Dobbu Scay (in TLJ)
    Boolio (in TROS)
    EV-909 (in TM)

    Clancy Brown, too has played quite a few roles in SW.
