Also, should there eventually be a separate spoiler thread for this? Or just tag this one once people have had a chance to watch the show?

Good question. But aside from the ending, I don't think there were any spoilers in this episode.

I thought it was going to be a series you can binge ala Netflix or Prime but they seem to be going the DC Universe route and releasing one episode a week.

that was what I wanted to know.

I may wait a bit before I add Disney+ then.

I already have Hulu, so the package deal of Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ is a solid deal.

If anyone posts anything that would spoil watching the episode, just use the spoiler tags.

Let's make sure everyone uses spoiler tags for any and all new movies and TV shows. It's just a nice thing to do.

Not a real spoiler, just for illustrative purposes

I kinda wish Netflix would do a slower release with some of their shows. Get some airtime out of them. Yet, it's also cool that during a holiday break, you can quickly watch a series. I wonder if by releasing shows in part, if they can get them out earlier. i.e. you don't have to wait for the last few episodes to finish before you can release the beginning. Maybe we'd already have the Witcher out in part...

Not really a spoiler but you never know

When it had Haratio Sanz and Brian Poshen in the first 5 minutes I was all-in.

Looks like Netflix is going to start moving to the weekly thing as well.

Taika Waititi as IG-11 was unexpectedly awesome. I didn't even know that Taika was on the show until I saw the credits after the first episode. His timing and delivery at the end had me in tears: "Perhaps his kind can live for centuries. Sadly, we'll never find out. (DRAWS BLASTER)"

The first episode had the kind of world building/mythology which I loved from the first John Wick: there is a world, there are myths and histories, there are codes and conventions, and we're not going to have a character just vomit out pages of expository monologues to catch you up. I like that. They give you enough of a skeleton to puzzle it out yourself, and they give the audience the benefit of the doubt.

Man, did anyone else think that Nick Nolte just crushed it as that guy's voice!? Amazing.
I have spoken.
Also was a fantastic beginning to the series.

Loved it. Great start.

Little-known fact: they didn't actually have to use any makeup to transform Nolte into his character.

Fun show! I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

I love the IG-88 story from the "Tales of the Bounty Hunters" book.

This IG seemed very weak compared to the IG-88 in that book, but reading the Wookieepedia article, it sounds like he had reprogramming that was much different from IG-88.
