Oh, the Gorm people, they won't listen to Varian's reasonable arguments, which are just in the box office, but they will listen to Cyril sitting on the other shoulder, who feeds them what they want to hear.

At the meeting with Partagast, I was amused by how Dedra's eye twitched when Partagast made a light mockery about inexperienced diligence.

Forest Whitaker gave another cool monologue in the series, albeit not as awesome as Skarsgard's, but also inspiring (and Onderon was mentioned, hello KOTOR again).

@simple_man: I think you mean KOTOR 2, and then Daxun, because that's where you had to walk through the jungle, and on Onderon it was Iziz (the capital) with a Royal Palace. The reference is more suitable for SWTOR, because that's where you can walk around the terrain outside of civilization, but there's also a jungle, iirc, so-so. I think they were referring to Daxun, the moon of Onderon, in the series.

The last scene is very good, great speech and beautifully shot. Cassian also gave out good advice, but it is unlikely that he will be listened to. Actually, Dedra is a top, the idea to give Cyril a lift is brilliant, and he coped with the task. "Turn out the lights" is an interesting moment, it's even a bit of a pity that it wasn't shown further 🤣
Well, it's funny that Luten has a similar problem as in the last episode in the council - they catch too many, they listen to many.

Oh, how skillfully they warm up the clerk, obviously knowledgeable people did it. They insist that by leaking secret information to them, he is helping the empire and the emperor personally, in defiance of the secret services, which seized power, and the emperor is not even aware.

Cassian is well shown, who immediately advised this gathering of amateurs not to engage in bullshit, which would eventually bring the entire organization under the monastery.

The only thing they didn't realize was that a man who was drowning for robbing a transport with a weapon would turn out to be a provocateur recruited by the secret services. Putting the squeeze on the gun. Then it would be like in life.

The best episode of the season! Probably the best episode of the entire series in terms of dynamics. Just in one go. All events develop without unnecessary chatter, all events are important for the narrative. The footage is great.

The speech from Guerrero pierces to the point of trembling like rain.
Andor is gorgeous as a designer. The costume is great.

I got high from the series straight.

@olekolegovich: They use rhydonium, a type of fuel that is extremely explosive, like nitroglycerin, and toxic. Well, if it's fuel, then it's an engine.

@olekolegovich: apparently, this is a smart valve. It connects to a coded port in the pipe and allows it to be opened and the fuel drained, without violating the procedures, procedures and conditions, violation of which would lead to poisoning, explosion and other troubles.

It feels like Gorman was filmed in the scenery of the first season. Just something added or slightly changed. The houses and streets are the same, especially where Cyril lives.

But at least Cassian was finally washed and combed.

I'm thrilled with this series. Herrer's monologue on "we& # 39; ll all be dead before the Republic is back and yet"...here we are& # 34;, "We're the rhydo, kid, We' re the fuel" very powerful. if I were a guy, I'd fall for it, too. "Where are you boy?"
and on the other side, they show Andor, who is more experienced and less ideological, unlike the guy who says that he is not a revolutionary. anyway, they're doing the same thing.
still the best TV series in the franchise
best episode of the season so far

I really like this mix of spy thriller and star Wars. Provocateurs, wiretaps, and saboteurs are everywhere. Both sides are dancing a very complex and very subtle waltz with each other.
I didn't really understand what kind of gas Guerrero stole at the end. Is it some kind of drug? To give it to the revolutionaries? Was he the one who inhaled in the mask in the Outcast? Why does it only open with some super complicated and dangerous machine?

Cyril is so coolly and skillfully embedded that at first you admire and then you remember where, to whom and why he's leaking everything. And the Gormanians already consider him their own, before they get lucky with Cassian, they are already unlucky with Cyril, information is already flowing from them.

Cassian is right, he pointed out some of the weaknesses and vulnerabilities, a mistake that has already been made. They have a lot of enthusiasm, but not much experience.

The last scene and the Co are mesmerizing of course

The series won't come off

@berion87: Andor scolded the girl for being careless, and I remembered a good drama about the French coprot. in occupied France - Charlotte Gray (2001). starring Cate Blanchett. There's also Michael Gambon 1940-2023 (Dumbledore), Helen McCrory 1968-2021 (Narcissa Malfoy), Anton Lesser (Dedra's boss).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3v6fNOUWhc

Ahtung! Ihre Papiere! ( (Ihre Papiere - Your documents).
Spoiler alert!
Blanchett's character was also in the cafe transmitting radio details to a contact (McCrory) and detained her for a second. the contact was arrested and her fate is predictable😨

How easy it is to deceive these Frenchmen "he was fired, so now he's on our side." They could tell him his name or show him a photo and Andor would recognize him and everything would be fine, but no, you stupid idiots. And Binks looks more and more like a drug addict, it's clear that it's difficult for her, but still

Forest is fine, of course. We couldn't make it through the whole season on Andor alone, so we had to call a fan service, like in the last Mandalorians. Soap is soapy, to be honest. The first season was a year ago, but I don't remember what these characters were doing there at all. Why were the first two episodes with some guys in the jungle, harvesting? ISP caricature fascists. Gorman is a caricature of occupied France. George's opinion is interesting if he saw disco at a techno wedding and understands the show that Bix watches..... Leave me the first six episodes, even though it's not the canonical expanded universe anymore, but the casino from episode 8, the school buses from Skelton Crew, and other mundane things - take the mouse back.
