Yeah, I saw the developer first and was immediately open to letting them take a chance on something. I am absolutely not a Marvel comic guy, and even less of an MCU guy. But, my cold heart was thawed by Eidos’s Guardians of the Galaxy, so I am open to the schtick when it’s handled well. At worst, I bet this is a…

You mean like everyone thought of Mario and Rabbids?  And that series kicks ass.

My only guess is that people just read “marvel X-com style game” in the headline assumed it was a weak cash grab and ignored that it was being developed by the ACTUAL X-Com developers.

I am genuinely curious as to why so many people were agianst this. It’s like a fantastic idea mixed with a super fantastic team who have more than shown their pedigree with strategy/turn-based games, all wrapped in a Marvel wrapper.

Something would have to go terribly wrong for it to ruin the game, and even then on…

I didn’t get the impression that Syril was in love with Meero, but rather that his obsession is because, for him, she personifies the sort of Supremacy of Law and Order that he desperately wants to see in the world. He doesn’t want to have her; he wants to be her. And, because of the sort of person he is, he expresses…

I’m sure they base their decisions on hard data like viewing numbers but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen such strong word-of-mouth about a show. When asking around, it IS the one a lot of people said is on their list because they heard its good but haven’t started, but it’s also the one that is universally RAVED…

I liked Rogue One, it was and remains easily the best Star Wars film since the original trilogy, but it was far from perfect.

And just how long can they or should they go on with Andor? Would one or two more seasons be enough to tell his story and let the show end gracefully before the events of Rogue One?

You left out the key moment of why Kino reverses and tells Andor the information he wanted. If I heard it correct, its because someone who was set for release was instead transferred back into the population on a different floor. I take it because of the same Imperial decree that changed Andor’s sentence from 6 months…

I agreed with everything except for the Syril critique. His creepy incel take is perfect. It isn’t about “scary.”

He’s pro-Empire, which probably doesn’t help. It validates Mon’s decisions to keep secrets from him, but doesn’t validate any of his... I don’t know if it’s technically gaslighting, but it’s certainly along those lines. Pretty much every word he’s said on the show has felt to me like it was intended specifically to…

Considering her husband has been betrothed to her since childhood and knows all of her childhood friends, she’s probably actually her cousin.

Yeah it seems like anything to do with Rogue One is good, it’s the only movie I accept since the original trilogy too. This show is so good, I’m going to be so upset when the season is over. The other TV shows are ok, entertaining but not on this level. 

I disagree. Mon is just being a parent. A working parent, yes, but there’s been nothing so far to suggest she’s neglecting her daughter in any way.

Not to mention his volte-face after poor old Ulaf was put down. Not euthanised - put down. Up until that moment he was all for playing by the rules and then realising that there was no way out. He was brilliant (as he always is, to be fair).

I know that Sci Fi shows like this are generally ignored by Award shows but Genevieve O’Reilly genuinely deserves recognition for her performance as Mon Motha in this show. She’s so great in this show.

So my hunch about Vel was only partially correct - she is a society girl but I never thought she’d be related to Mon. That took me by surprise. Perrin is the fucking worst and I dearly hope he dies at some point in the very near future (I’m looking at you, Tay. Something tells me you’re more than just a banker and…

Oh yeah, Serkis KILLED IT in this episode. That last scene.... holy cow.

Luna and Serkis were SO good this episode. Especially Serkis. The sheer TERROR in his eyes during parts of this episode when they were in the tube really sold how aware he was they were in a claustrophobic killing ground with no way out. They had him under control right up until the moment he realized he had nothing…

daddy’s girl Leida (Bronte Carmichael) puts her mother on the spot by calling him “mother’s old boyfriend”—which Mon deduces she got from her dad.
