What's up, homies! Welcome back to another reaction to Andor. I think this might be our favorite episode so far because it is INTENSE as hell but oh-so good.

The short scene with Mon in the Senate was powerful. It’s a thread from the role that chamber played in the prequels to “boring and throwaway” lines in A New Hope. From Padme thinking she was doing the right thing for her people by calling for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum (Terrance Stamp). To Palpatine being nominated to take his place (“A surprise, to be sure”). To the Separatist threat pushing the Senate to grant him temporary emergency power for a war he created and controlled both sides of. To fabricating the Jedi rebellion to proclaim himself Emperor. To this scene, where the Senate is shutting itself down either out of allegiance or fear. This is crucial. Because, lastly, the lines in A New Hope in the Death Star meeting room come to fruition. General Tagge: And until this battle station is fully operational, we are vulnerable. The Rebel Alliance is too well equipped. They're more dangerous than you realize. Admiral Motti: Dangerous to your starfleet, Commander, not to this battle station. General Tagge: The Rebellion will continue to gain a support in the Imperial Senate. Grand Moff Tarkin: The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I've just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away. General Tagge: That's impossible! How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy? Grand Moff Tarkin: The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station. You’ve gotta hand it to Palpatine (and George and the Andor writers). He’s brilliant at taking over a galaxy. Patient. Precise. This scene with Mon shows how easy it was for him to shut it down. And if anyone wants to voice dissent? They have a f*ing Death Star.

I think that Andor is up there with the writing of early seasons of GoT, The Wire, and a few other really intense shows, but the subtleties are where the power lies. Everyone has their own rebellion, everyone is in their own prison, everyone has their own secrets. I think next episode is going to be the prison escape, but I'm curious as to when the uprising on Ferrix is going to happen (and it's going to happen after the hangings and possibly Marva's passing. Nothing like a little rioting to let off some pressure). Love your reactions for this episode - looking forward to next week!

Man this episode was so intense, I loved it. I also found it super interesting that they turned Syril into a stalker, and that scene was super disturbing. I still felt for Daedra even though she was just torturing someone. Man this show is amazing! To make me feel so many contrasting feelings so suddenly.

This is a very gripping episode. Some surprises e.g. Vel as a cousin of "Mom" Mothma, never saw that one coming. The performances, writing, directing, everything is outstanding, really a joy to watch. The show put a deep stake in the ground that Star Wars can be done very differently, without Jedi and black-and-white painting. The tension comes from the finesse of the storytelling, the very precisely drawn characters and intertwined, most carefully worked out plot lines. Visually and musically also outstanding. The whole thing is on such a high level that even the haters on Youtube kick the bucket. Finally!

Loved this reaction, but disappointed there's no Tales of the Jedi yet!! Andor has been great, but Tales of the Jedi is SO good, and I want to see your reactions to it!!

After Hector's rant at the end, we made a family outing of taking our ballots to the drop box

100% to the reaction and comments. I totally dig this show. Some easters eggs too. Will elaborate on some later. I love beeing left in the dark how it will all resolve, no clue, that's expert storytelling. Acting, writing and camera work, directing cannot be better. Outstanding. Hope it will get many emmy nominations. (previously misposted here on the wrong entry). BTW: Adam without glasses, interesting...

Hey Hector. I agree with your sentiments but I think generalizing “Dems vs Republicans” is exactly what that side wants. I think there should be more nuance beyond us vs them. But cheers boys to an amazing series.

Both sides have power hungry people. We’re humans after all.
