    I'm leaning toward Axe being the spy. The Armourer leaves with the survivors, who they ran into by chance, which is unlikely to have been planned ahead of time. Axe leaves during the attack, which could have easily been planned. plus, he is quick to volunteer to leave, as opposed to fighting, like most mandalorians.

    I think the cloning vats aren’t attempts at cloning Palpatine/Snoke, but rather an attempt for Gideon to clone himself. He said the Dark Trooper armor was filled with “me”.

      Along with the fact hux is the one focused on cloning with sidious, moff is most likely focused on cloning himself we see how he tampers with it, hux suspects this and gets a step ahead which is why sidious is a step ahead of snoke , if you ask me snoke knew nothing of sidious being alive, he allowed moff to think he succeeded in his plan and his Version of the empire , snoke isn’t a failed papaltine he is a result of giddeons self cloning experiment rebuilding the empire just for sidious to take it back from the shadows without him even knowing, snoke seen the rise and fall, I think it could be giddeon if it is it saves the terrible sequel trilogy just a little bit

    “The Spies” could also be a meta-reference to the biblical story of the 12 spies who went into the land of Canaan to spy out the land before the people settled there. John and Dave seem to be pulling a lot from the biblical story as a reference for the Mandalorians. They’re scattered and exiled after the destruction of their home, and long to return and reclaim their ancient way of life. Kind of a cool contrast to the Jedi, which heavily reference eastern religion/culture.

    Gideon made it clear this episode HE wants to be the top dog. He calls for mutiny against thrawn. HE wants to rule the empire, and rule the galaxy. His plan has likely been using force sensitives like grogu to gain the ability to create force sensitive warriors who can then wear beskar armor and build the ultimate army. Force sensitives wearing beskar? No one would stand a chance. That’s why he’s settled on mandalore to farm beskar for his army. Obviously his plan will not be fulfilled as we’ve seen in the sequels, so I would not expect Gideon to live past the finale of The Mandalorian.

    I believe that Gideon's helmet horns are more meant to represent something more akin to a crown that some one like a king or queen would wear. The spikes are on all four sides of his helmet. Gideon seems to be quiet power hungry, like most other imperials, he wants to be the ruler of mandalore by taking the Dark Saber, and he does not believe in Thrawn's "Grand Plan". All he wants is take all of this power for himself.
