It makes sense that Bo would mostly bring people she knows on the scouting mission. She spent some time with the covert, sure, but for something as important as this I can't blame her for bringing familiar faces. And most of her old mates would be former Death Watch, same as her.
Totally missed that. Why is Din still dragging that thing around? After it gave up the covert's location to Blue I'd have expected it on the next shuttle for Tatooine.
But that's a quick and easy way to have backup arrive.
Now, regarding the ongoing conversation about mando culture and history and how deep the show will get into it.....last episode touched on more than I expected it to, but I'm wondering how much they'll bother with the details. When the show started it didn't have much in common with the Mandalore established in the cartoons; the rule about keeping helmets on, "this is the Way" fundamentalism, all kinds of stuff that was either brand new or a sizeable shift from what had been done beforehand.
And I'm wondering if us fans are losing sight of that intentional clean break and expecting too much connective tissue. We accepted Din as a mando who was removed from past stories and history and belonged to a cultural sect we'd never seen before, but now that we're getting into retaking Mandalore and Bo has become a major player, are we too focused on how it meshes with what came before? None of us want canon to be broken, but if they approach everything before the Purge with a fuzzy overview, is that enough? Do we really need to dig into the details, or is it enough to just say something like "Death Watch was a terror group that broke into many pieces" and not linger on the specifics? Unless they're directly related to the characters/story being told right now, anyway.
Obviously some details are still pertinent. Sabine's weapon designs should still matter if/when she runs into other Mandalorians. Bo's history as both part of the royal family and as Death Watch requires some attention. Stuff like that. But for the most part, I think we're forgetting that this show began by starting fresh with Mandalore and ignoring much of what came before, and maybe it's better to stay that way and not get bogged down in the history?
