Star Wars Andor S1E7: "Announcement" (continued)
Does Cassa realize that this - the increased suffering of the people he knows and cares about - was an intentional part of Luthen's strategy? Probably not, I don't think. But then, as has already been discussed, this was always going to come sooner or later.
Star Wars Andor S1E7: "Announcement"
Doesn't he realize how much suffering his actions are going to cause? How many people are going to be killed or tortured? How much worse the oppression is going to be for those already suffering the most under the imperial yoke? How much more awful he's just given Palpatine permission to get?
In response to her line of questioning, Luthen smiles and says "That's the point."
FLCL Alternative (continued)
I'm sorry, but you cannot have Haruko Haruhara play the role of the wise mentor while still having her act like Haruko Haruhara.
FLCL Alternative
The subtitle "Alternative" is a well chosen one. It takes many of the original series' conceits, and says "what if instead of doing that, the series did this?"
Star Wars Andor S1E6: "The Eye" (continued)
Last flight, I'd gladly trade my life, for one night as a justice acolyte.
Star Wars Andor S1E6: "The Eye"
I wonder if that kid is going to end up being a more important character, of if he just exists to make us hate his dad a little bit more than we would anyway.
Scrooge McDuck "Return to Xanadu"
I can totally picture Karl Barks the dog-person inspiring a workers' revolt in Scrooge's factories.
Scrooge McDuck "Tralla-La"
Scrooge sure does get proscribed an awful lot of different medications in these 1950's comics, doesn't he?
Star Wars Andor S1E5: "The Axe Forgets" (continued)
Before the rebellion was about magic space knights learning Daoism from frogs, it was about the blood, sweat, and tears of the decidedly nonmagical and nonchivalrous Cassian Andor.
Star Wars Andor S1E5: "The Axe Forgets"
I, uh, well. I've got to say. These guys have a loooooooong way to go before becoming the organization that destroyed the death star.
Star Wars Andor S1E4: Aldhani
I've mentioned that I don't like beards, I think? Well, I don't, and without his Cassa is pretty bangable I must say.
The Apothecary Diaries S1E1-3 (continued)
The atmosphere is excellent, the characters are excellent, and the mysteries and detectivework could be really engaging if they got more focus.
The Apothecary Diaries S1E1-3
Before being captured and sold into slavery, Maomao's main hobby was doing medical experiments. Mostly on herself, for want of other test subjects.
Star Wars Andor S1E3: "Reckoning" (continued more)
Now that there is thinking like an insurgent!
Star Wars Andor S1E3: "Reckoning" (continued)
I find myself caring about Wars in a way I never did previously. All these names and bits of trivia that I absorbed by osmosis and have been more or less dead weight in my brain for decades are suddenly lighting up and forming patterns.
It's honestly a kind of surreal experience.
Star Wars Andor S1E3: "Reckoning"
That's another quirk of Star Wars, isn't it? People are really extemporaneous in their landing sites.
Star Wars Andor S1E2: "That Would Be Me" (continued)
If Linus is playing saboteur, he's good at it.
Star Wars Andor S1E2: "That Would Be Me"
Younger mugshot Cassa without the facial hair is pretty bangable, ngl.
Star Wars Andor S1E1: "Cassa" (continued)
Isn't he supposed to be blue with antennae, though? I feel like there must have been a mixup in the costume department.
