‘“ugh, arson, amiright?” while lighting a Molotov cocktail and flinging it at a building.’
From the article: “Things do kick into gear later in the season, but getting to that point is a bit of a slog.”
Oh wow! What an insightful comment Miss Splinter! Who would have ever thought that I could just stop watching? Thank you.
The question was, “when will the season pick up it’s pace?” not, “where’s the off button on my remote?”
How many episodes do I need to get through before it stops being a slog? Currently halfway through episode 5 and I’m just not very interested. For what it’s worth, I think the original LOTR trilogy is great but I’m usually not that into the fantasy genre.
Overall I thought the season was fine. The humor succeeded mostly, particularly the dynamics between Jen and Nikki and Jen and Daredevil as well as when the show itself was skewering Marvel (one of my favorite lines from any Marvel movie is Bruce asking, “wait... so there’s an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man?”). But it…
Andor is also succeeding in how real it feels. The good guys suffer losses in firefights, characters have motivations outside of the main plot, and you can feel the rebellion building through small clues like the little extra commotion in the senate or the guy joking about it while reading the news. A lesser show…
‘Everything Everywhere’ is the best movie of the year so far, in my opinion, but Top Gun was a ton of fun too.
Didn’t realize AV Club covered fishing tournament drama. Guess I can finally cancel my subscription to whatever fishing tournament website this article should appear on.
Unpopular opinion: “Another Way to Die” for Quantum of Solace is the best Bond theme song.
The movie really should have included some raptors on the boat along with the T-Rex. They could have had a chopper come in and gun all the raptors down before they got loose in San Diego and still had the T-Rex make it into town.
Depressingly necessary
The AK-47's seemed out of place because they’re a really recognizable real-life weapon. Have there ever been bullets in Star Wars? Or do you think if we ever see them firing they will shoot lasers?
Really enjoying Andor, it’s worlds better than any of the other Disney+ Star Wars shows because it actually feels like a real series instead of a cartoon with real life actors.
Do we really need even more articles about the behind-the-scenes drama for this (likely) flop of a movie?
So... same as seasons 2-4?
11) Why does Hale shoot William and then just run away while he’s on the ground. She clearly had more bullets. Was it really just so that Bernard’s message would “predict the future”?
Thanks for providing great review instead of just the AV Club’s episode play-by-play.
Early in the movie Midthunder’s character commented on how smart the dog was. I figured that was our clue that the dog wouldn’t die.
Sadly, I think you’re right. I was riveted by all the mysteries in Season 1 and now I can’t find a single storyline I care about. I’m going to finish the season, but won’t bother tuning in for a Season 5 if there is one.
Maybe the hair person was simply referring to the hairpiece they had designed for Will?
