* AuthorsSavingThrow: Mayfeld's credentials as a former Imperial sharpshooter were mocked both in-universe and out in his appearance in Season 1, with Din stating [[DamnedByFaintPraise "that's not saying much"]] in response to the phrase "[[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy Imperial sharpshooter]]" and viewers pointing out that if Mayfeld ''was'' such a good shot, he wouldn't need to [[MoreDakka spam fire with a trio of blasters.]] Here, he nails the open hatch of a rydonium truck, from a few hundred meters, out the back of a moving spaceship, with a Tusken cycler rifle that is decidedly not state-of-the-art; even [[ColdSniper Fennec Shand]] and [[ActionGirl Cara Dune]] are impressed.

* WinBackTheCrowd: The first episode that Rick Famuyiwa wrote, Chapter 6: "The Prisoner"[[note]]co-written by Famuyiwa and Christopher Yost from a story by Yost[[/note]], received praise for its set pieces and tense atmosphere, as well as criticism for its obnoxious side performances and lack of relevance to Season 1's main plot. In contrast, "The Believer" earned universal praise for delivering not only quality action and tension, but also stellar performances, a pivotal moment for both Din's character arc and his search for Grogu, and thought-provoking moral commentary.

This would help promote Famuyiwa to one of the third season's executive producers.

** * Among other differences between Moff Gideon's demand for Grogu in Chapter 7, and Din's IronicEcho in this chapter, Din replaces, "...it will be mine," with, "...he will be back with me." Din referring to Grogu as his probably would've sounded redundant, but his apparent refusal to say it aloud also provides a bittersweet reminder that after he rescues Grogu, they can't stay together forever -- the Jedi whom Grogu called on Tython will come after him next.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The raiders are only referred to as pirates and treated as such by the narrative. However, they were notably not trying to ''steal'' the rhydonium but instead seemed to be far more interested in destroying it. This has led to many fans to assume that they're actually anti-Imperial freedom fighters, either natives of the planet or perhaps mercenaries hired to hinder the Imperial force on the planet.

* HoYay: Some viewers have romanticized Mayfeld's decision to nickname Din after the color of his eyes. In the French dub, Din's alias is "Beauregard", which means "beautiful view".

I realized the possibility of a different Mando writer or actor getting snubbed to make room


* AwardSnub: In a year when the Emmy judges acted uncharacteristically respectful towards science fiction, fans expressed disappointment that Rick Famuyiwa and Creator/BillBurr still couldn't land nominations for Outstanding Writing or Guest Star in a Drama Series, respectively. Additionally, Creator/PedroPascal's supporters pointed towards his convincingly mortified performance of an exposed Din Djarin as proof that he deserved recognition in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category, which the judges robbed from him yet again. If even one of these men received some due, ''The Mandalorian'' would've beaten ''Series/TheCrown'' to becoming the most-nominated show at the Primetime Emmys that year.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Creator/BillBurr, mostly known as an acerbic, politically incorrect, foul-mouthed comic, gets to show a little range in his confrontation with Mayfeld's [[ColonelKilgore war-crime-happy former commanding officer Valin Hess]], and even gets a moment where he displays an impressive number of emotions [[FacialDialogue without saying a word]] before coldly gunning him down.
