They definitely did a good job getting Din back in the center of the story for the very last episode, but i still think its annoying that Bo Katan is treated like a "good" version of a Karen, entitled to be the leader of Mandalore mostly because the writer doesn't feel like telling the story with the more interesting and heroic POC they set up in the first place.
