An awful lot of the Star Wars channel on Youtube have nothing but the ethos of "I hate everything."

I cannot confirm that the word "mythosaur" originated in 1982. In the 1982 comic, when it is first seen the City of Bone is described only as [https://view-comic.com/star-wars-1977-issue-69/]:
"the gargantuan, petrified skeleton of some unknown alien animal, bored out and converted to a slaver sanctuary"
What? In Basic, the word ‘myth’ came from the name of the Mythosaur. It's the very creature from which myths come from.
Come on, in English, there's a sea monster named after the part of the brain that let's me remember things, ocean witches named after a device to alert everyone of air raids, and a magical being named after magic fables. Those are much on the nose, aren't they?
I think it's the difference between not wanting to help someone complete a (to her) stupid quest and not wanting to leave someone to die, and once she was on Mandalore with Din and Grogu she probably just thought "Fuck it, why not since I'm here."
Called it. When the episode started I was like "I knew it!"
Color me not the biggest fan of Peli.
Wow. I couldn't disagree more.
For me this was one of the best Mandalorian episodes to date.
Din has never been shown to be superhuman. He's just a man like everyone else. He has good points and flaws, and a very well defined sense of honor and purpose; more than most and that's what makes him special. he very much held his own and triumphed against superior odds, but finally met a foe that was a mix of biology and technology he couldn't handle alone.
Luckily Gorgu isn't just a mascot in this series, he's also a full character and I enjoyed the 5 minutes of The Gorgu-lorian as he made his way back to the ship and went to get Bo Katan as Din asked.
I never have really seen more than a couple episodes of Clone Wars or Rebels and before she appeared, I had no clue who the character of Bo Katan was. But yeah, I like what they're doing here and love the contrast. Din IS the devout Mandalorian in that he earnestly believes in the Creed and all the Mandalorian lore and customs harking back to the beginning of the Mandalorian culture.
Bo Katan is the 'modern' Mandalorian, and she understands the history of Mandalore and all it's various cultural aspects; but beyond the physical and tactical training, she doesn't see a need for the 'old ways' and is very cynical about a lot of aspects of Mandalorian culture, but as she interacted with Din, it definitely seems that she began to get an appreciation for aspects she had considered outdated and unneeded, and how Din's devotion to the Creed gives him internal fortitude and inner strength.
I don't think either of them were shown as inept or imbecilic in this episode - they both came across as just very human.
I really liked this episode and if anything I'm finding the Mandalorians as a whole more interesting then the Jedi.
(Although yeah, I agree that Din just saying 'oh well' WRT getting the part for IG11 and just taking R5 was ridiculous.)

Din and Bo came across the same as in the Season 2 episode on the Imperial ship. Take that for whatever it's worth.
Plot.
And the fear in his eyes when Valin Hess confronted he and Mayfeld in Season 2's Morak episode just goes to show Din isn't the fearless badass he's sometimes made out to be. He's just good at what he does, but far from perfect.
Unless it's Season 1 then he is. Until he doesn't need to be, then he isn't.
Yeah, sorry, I have not warmed to Din at all, as I was hoping too. This season has a long road ahead of it.
Like I said, so far as I can tell the name and concept originates from the 2005 article. A bunch of earlier stuff including some Marvel comic stories got retconned into being "mythosaurs" one way or another, such was the nature of the EU.
This is exactly what I keep saying not to take wookieepedia at face value, especially the main body of the articles which are essentially useless most of the time. On the whole; not terrible useful for this kind of research.
Stop that.
It's probably one of those "don't think about it too hard" things. They just fudged it to keep the action going and hoped most people didn't notice. Also there's currently a podracer engine stuck right where the astromancy egress hatch is supposed to be, so *really* just don't think about it.
Which fits right into the Indiana Jones/Han Solo mold. People forget that those characters are constantly winging it, getting their arses kicked, and making out by as much dumb luck as skill.
He is stirring up some romantic feelings inside her. His passion at reuniting their people is sexy and even though she won't admit it yet she wants to believe in that other than her cynicism and despair over what has happened to their people.
