Good idea on the surface, but in reality that is a regressive tax that disproportionately impacts low-income people.

According to someone involved in the production they were going to do five seasons but some genius cut it down to two. Fuck that guy. 

It’s probably more accurate to describe it as:
“Not an elaborate toy commercial.”

I feel you, but the fact that it will end gives me hope that it’ll never be ruined like everything else.

I think this crystallized for me this episode: Mon Mothma’s family is going to betray her/rat her out, and this will be the reason she can leave them behind and commit fully to the Rebellion. They’re very carefully developing the divide between Mon vs. dad/daughter.

So should they make out? Do you think that'd be a safe thing to do under near constant imperial supervision? Tell us the nuance you are looking for. 

See I would argue that Andor is largely treating them the same as it’s straight relationships which has surprised me. So far Andor’s core question seems to be: What does it mean to commit to your ideals? And every relationship so far has been enlisted in service of interrogating that question, including Vel and Cinta.…

A little Star Wars nerd input here, and I think the show is delving into it.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, last July, the studio assembled a secret writers’ room of TV writers to figure out why this movie thing isn’t working so well.

Smile, Lyle, Lyle Crocodile! Black Adam and The Woman King buy a Ticket to Paradise (aka Amsterdam) to escape the Triangle of Sadness as Halloween Ends but Don’t Worry Darling about Terrifier 2.

Seriously. Despite most of The Rise of Skywalker taking place on the planets Exegol, Tattooine and Kijimi, it was shot entirely on Earth.  Lazy.

That is a really ridiculous statement. Claiming that people crossed “Getting photographed for a portrait” off their list of things to do was in some way connected to the election of President Obama?!? Seriously? Saying it once is silly enough, then trying to argue that there really is a cause and effect relationship…

“Everyone is sick of reading about Olivia Wilde. Everyone’s mother and everyone’s brother-in-law is sick of reading about Olivia Wilde. Ever since spitgate—and even before—it seems like not a day has gone by where we’ve been granted one moment’s peace from reading about Olivia Wilde—especially on Twitter.”

av club blaming olivia wilde on their endless coverage of olivia wilde. i guess that tracks. 

I loved 1-5 for the lush settings, and the characters need fleshing out but still aren’t half bad, but of course your mileage may vary. If all you’re looking for is quicker pacing, yes, you’ll be satisfied after about one more episode (partway through 6, in other words). But I’d really encourage you to engage more…

Well as mentioned elsewhere think of season one as one long pilot for the show. This show is taking place at a time where there isn’t a ton already fleshed out by Tolkien. These are characters and places that unless you are a Tolkien nerd we know VERY little about, outside of Galadriel and Elrond, so there needs to be…

Six is the big (pardon the pun) eruption.

Yeah, it was definitely Obama’s fault and not the proliferation of handheld devices with high quality digital cameras. Your archaic industry is dying. Maybe you should go work at a newspaper or something.

“distracts from the story, which is that my life fell apart right when I was learning to be both Jen and She-Hulk. Those are my stakes, K.E.V.I.N.”

Andor has gone from the name that I didn’t really care about on that big MCU-style Star Wars Wall-O-Announcements screen to now the guiding light for every major Star Wars project going forward.
