Boy, howdy, gang. If you've made it through this marathon with us, first things first, just want to say a big thank you to the folks over at PREPR for assembling these highlights, chopping them down. they do a terrific job and

Starting point is 00:02:15 that was quite a substantial block of episodes which I feel like is always an understatement with Andor but this was absolutely gripping and there was much to go into as we sit here right now i'm realizing that we are like halfway into season two

Starting point is 00:02:34 and this is a two seasons story and it's interesting because i feel like there's still like it feels like there's infinite amounts of stuff to go and you know things to explore and examine like this feels like such a huge situation it already did it already is but especially as of these three episodes i'm just loving the array of things that they're going for the flavors, the way they find time for both the resilience and banality of humanity amidst all these other machinations and whatnot. And at least by comparison to the first three episodes, which were pretty great, all and all, generally, this definitely didn't have that one weird subplot of like,

Starting point is 00:03:20 what are we doing here that, you know, the first block had when Andrew crash landed amongst that other group. yeah like this is just on a steady upward trajectory for me how do you feel i think this is amazing television i was very much opposed to the three really three episode at a time release structure and it dawned on me um and like you know full disclosure we've had like little micro breaks in between i need to stand i'm the body is in a lot of pain and um the the time we're here at the third I was like damn this really feels and I remember having the feeling in the last batch of this really feels like we're getting lost in the world and like the experience and you kind of you need you need the time to settle in like you can't do that off of one episode yeah and then by you might achieve it by the second but then by the time you're in the third you're like oh I'm really like here now you have like an experience and and and i i'm surprised by that because it is very intentional and they're doing the one year thing in a jig

Starting point is 00:04:33 i i think this is a really gripping ass television that is very uh shocking and how strong it is i feel like i'm going to walk away saying this season's better than the last it feels like it feels like it's already like better and when the first one's pretty awesome already and many people consider that one like the best television star wars has ever been but it's easy to quantify this as the best star wars television this is some of the best star wars ever uh you know and part of me like i i do like the i want the stuff of like the force and lightsabers and all that fun stuff and the supernatural and all that sci-fi you know is the science fantasy stuff yeah the fantasy aspects but for what they're what they're doing here for what their intention that they they set out to do i i love like a

Starting point is 00:05:22 cascading I love a collapse of shit that goes wrong because so much of this is there was this like Tarantino's quality to me that I think that he excels that very well Tarantino that I see applied here particularly in this episode of you characters with a lot of plans and then something lifelike or random or someone's emotion gets in the way and causes a bad decision and then something very consequential occurs from the thing and like what happened with cinta's death and i like it was a really messed up moment and i i was actually having the thought when they were making out that it would that one of them was going to die and when i had the trope yeah it's very trope and i had the thought of that that i wish we had more time with them in this season because it they

Starting point is 00:06:21 they've they haven't really had much time together yeah that's not to say it wasn't effective though it was certainly like effective what it went when it happened and i was hurt by it um but that's it's kind of a testament to the quality of the show that most shows or movies i would go this would be more strong if you know we actually hung out with him a little bit more and the fact that we didn't really and it and it was predictable that one of them would die and that it was a trope it still really hit it there was still impact to be had from it and i'm sure there's a lot of people who were not to like predicting that would happen and were like no i was i was still very affected by it by not predicting it i i think though that it's even on our position to to feel like

Starting point is 00:07:07 it's predictable one of them's going to die right now um it i i think that i feel like i'm totally rambling and repeating myself when i thought i had a flow but i did i have not achieved flow state Yeah, I think like the, I think the, the, what is Luton's, what's her name? Clea. Clea? She is so great. Brilliant. I love watching her.

Starting point is 00:07:30 She's the one of the characters who we really haven't like pulled back the veil on. Yeah. And got into know that well. But one thing I think the show does so well is you learn about these characters through their actions and what they're like in the immediacy of a situation. and I think she is she was great in the first season but she really has gotten a lot more spotlight here and I think the spotlight given to her

Starting point is 00:07:56 that scene was so tense when she's trying to get that one thing and I like how they can mine something so suspenseful out of something that feels like really small in the grand scheme and Star Wars too but they could do something so small

Starting point is 00:08:13 we're like just gotta get this one little thing yeah in the middle of this conversation oh my god well and two like she's it's funny to put a character like her in a position like that because i feel like especially in season one when you cut to her like yeah there are times where she's like gotta get the shit together luthan but like she's always a character who is appears calm and in control and so then to see her in a moment or she is the one who is in the lion's den with luthan obviously but he's across the room helping to create diversion And, yeah, like, seeing the lengths to which she will go and her level of determination. Like, without having to dive into their backstory, you get the sense that, like, this is probably one of the few people Luton can be completely honest to and who, with whom he has a degree of respect to where she can, mouth off to him if he is out of line or if they have some kind of disagreement.

Starting point is 00:09:07 Like, she's not beholden to him and you get why they are an effective team. And I love the fact that you've got both sides of that where she's. she is literally talking to him like you gotta get your shit together man and then at the end we see once they pull it off that little spark of you know humor between them and that little bit glimmer of excitement that comes with you know this is such a heart like the whole debate of the show or one of the many but prominent debates of the show is the line of humanity when you're dealing with revolution when you are fighting systems of power that are so much greater than one individual like that was a moment there where i felt like the two of them could check in on just like we're two individuals and we got this shit done you know and i love the challenge that and or is cass i'll say cassian so i'm not confusing people that cassian and what bicks are doing when it comes to luthan you know like they do a lot of things here that are like surrogate relationships like in some ways like luthan and clea are there is like a platonic relationship it's a platonic it's a platonic

Starting point is 00:10:11 I don't like a hint of romance or whatever, sexuality at all. But they're like a couple in a way, right? They are like, they're a couple based on their like adherence to the cause. Yeah, yeah. And like the way they fight with each other and they blame. And then they're like, oh, we said, we did it, you know. And what they're doing with and or two, like the divide that's occurring with this philosophical problems that they're running into with what to do with Gorman. And then it getting personal with feeling like their relationship and love life is being invaded now.

Starting point is 00:10:47 Because Luthin to them is like the leader, the guy in charge, the manager of this whole situation. The mastermind that they feel like they have to listen to. And Luthin is very much like a hardened guy who it feels like it really has to be his way. and their concept of we can't lose our humanity in the process of this where luthin has stripped himself of so much of his humanity in order to do the right thing to save humanity yeah it's weird but then these personal choices that come into play and like wow what what like domino effect is this going to lead to now where they're doing their own personal shit like cassian showing up at the shop um unannounced and the dangers that that can lead to or letting bix go through with her revenge and then an attack like they they went through with a fucking attack at the very end like none of that's planned and holy shit that's bad and it might feel like cathartic right now as i did here and then it wasn't until like two minutes later like wait a minute that's like a horrible thing that might occur now the next time jump is probably going to bring with it some harsh circumstances because of this yes yes yes exactly Exactly. And I like that they're doing kind of that, you know, I like the Bonnie and Clyde. Like, they're not bad guys, but I like that kind of couple who is, you know, willing to do, like, badass shit.

Starting point is 00:12:16 And there's anti-heroism to who they are. I think that they have great chemistry together as a couple, too. I really believe them. You need this show. We kind of go there. So I like how we didn't do some, like, rebuild into their romance because, yeah, we knew it would go there eventually. and them being as this like lived in couple with these harsh choices that they got to make but then fulfilling you know personal justice what will that personal justice lead to in terms of consequences for the

Starting point is 00:12:45 other things and that drives some further the the arguments that luthin makes about these personal attachments and how being subservient to your own personal feelings on shit can get in the way of the bigger scheme of things you know and and so i love how it's all character driven though It's completely character-driven and not some silly plot mechanic. Well, yeah, it's like they have a really keen eye for how to show you what life is like and then life within and around the mission or whatever the missions are, you know, as well. Because, yeah, like they find these intimate moments to show you. Like in that scene where they're at home and they're like kissing because they haven't seen each other in so long.

Starting point is 00:13:25 Like there is plot-related business that they talk about. But there's also just stuff in there about how they're coping. and how they're living through this. And I like that their portrayal of the rebellion and the factions that make up the rebellion, both on the, you know, the rebel side and the imperial side. Like, there is so much, there's such a disparate nature to all of that. And it's something that Saw Guerrera says,

Starting point is 00:13:50 and it's something that Lutheran and Saw Guerrera talk about in the first season that I think has only been further exemplified here. It's like there are so many sects and different clusters of people all thinking in slightly different ways and it's hard to say whose way is the right way and if a revolution's going to work we all got to kind of band together and we got to

Starting point is 00:14:10 get on the same page but everyone has such conviction about what the page ought to be how can you ever possibly do that and you get these interesting microcosms for where like when you're on Gorman and the actual heist is going down you're like from these people's perspective this is a huge thing this is a potential

Starting point is 00:14:27 moment of glory this is a chance to take a stand and reveal the truth about the empire but for vell and for cinta this is another job in a string of jobs these are people that they have been and have long since not been and like that whole monologue she gives to him about like this is just something you're going to carry from now on like i am mourning but i also can't afford to mourn and you are about to you're now on the road to becoming me you know and that's something you're just going to have to get used to and uh yeah like there's so many ways in which they peer in on all the different sides of this

Starting point is 00:15:05 that I just think are really fun and fascinating and they don't feel like anything is on any one track like it always feels like anything could happen and I think that's a special thing like I wasn't really even thinking about you know as much as there is the the trope and especially with like queer or lesbian characters like oh one of them or both someone's going to die

Starting point is 00:15:21 and even that like at the moment it was happening I wasn't even really thinking about it and I think it was smart to have like the driver girl wanders off to help this old lady because we got to get her out of here but also you know I can't you care because she's part of the community probably that's a problem and then this guy over here is coming

Starting point is 00:15:38 over and you know the young guy's got a gun and oh no you know there's so many moving parts and the way that they're able to put stuff like that in along with nuanced human situations that all kind of encroach upon the greater cause and yet it doesn't feel like a

Starting point is 00:15:54 mess is very impressive it's very impressive yeah it's It's all so beautifully shot along the way, too. And I feel like there's a, it's like the, the way the composer works with this season, the television, it seems like they're like in the room, like, there's a bit of like an improvise. It's not jazz, but it's that feeling that jazz is supposed to admit of there's the, because so much of this is like improvisational with how they're all moving along and you can, I feel like the composer's like in the room. The show, the music's like a character, you know?

Starting point is 00:16:27 like flow state a lot of times because we'll be sitting here and be like wow this one shot of a guy riding an elevator with these specific reflections and colors like you're like it was a joke in in cinematography classes in school about like well sometimes you just need a shot and that's what you get but like when you're watching something like this and as deep in as we are it does start to feel like man even though these are comprised of days upon days upon days of shooting and then editing all that stuff it feels like everyone's in that jazz like flow state where it's like like even if these decisions are being made subconsciously, just like everything has these rich, this richness of detail and spirit that emanates whether it seems like it was directly designed that way or if it's just incidentally part of it. Well, the spirit is a constant thing that's happening here. And I think these three episodes dealt a lot with impatience, desperation, and people's own personal decisions creating a problem. like when it comes to what gorman's doing you know all signs indicate from an outside perspective

Starting point is 00:17:33 like this this will lead to people dying this will lead to the a really bad scenario because they're choosing they're being haste about the whole thing they're not heeding and or's advice of this is acting too soon and but that that conflict that it creates though of luthin like wanting to it's it's so strange to do this duetka of both the empire and luthan want this attack yeah and they both want the same outcome which is a massacre to occur they want like this violence to erupt the message needs to be sent at this yeah domino needs to be struck they they both want this same outcome um but for the post outcome they have a different thing they wanted a wave to ride you know like they

Starting point is 00:18:26 they want to be able to the empire wants to be able to use this to manipulate to go in and get that mineral and do whatever actions they want to take because look at them they're terrible they're a threat to the empire bam do whatever we want and then luthan wants to be able to use it to be like now the rebellion can really rebel and let's let's come out in the open because unlike ferricks the um oh my god i've said of this gorman gorman that uh gore i keep on to say gamorone uh but corman is is like a wealthy place that everyone knows so if this happens then then we can actually inspire now for la revolution because people off guard yes it's it's it's clever and like the way they let you get in touch with the community there and the people and i appreciate the choice

Starting point is 00:19:12 to have it be it sounds french to us i don't know leave it in the comment but the i appreciate how it the But the language, you know, like, and a lot of times in Star Wars, it seems like everyone kind of speaks the same language or like English or if there's an alien language, they still somehow understand. Humans all speak English and everybody understands aliens. Like, throwing around. I know, like, a lot of people don't speak wookie either. Like, there's a special thing with Han. Like, there's a lot. Not everyone understands what everyone says. I know. But specifically, like, a language that we, that earthling speak. Yeah, yeah. Which doesn't sound like a made-up language. It sounds like Elvin. It sounds like it's French or something. And I appreciate that attention to detail.

Starting point is 00:19:55 And I appreciate what they do. They've kept it all character-driven. Like, what they're doing with Bix is very fascinating to me because we were of the mindset of when the assault scene happened of I'm really glad Star Wars and Disney are willing to actually mature up right now and approach that. Same time, there was these other percentage of feeling. that was like yeah you know but it's a little tropey in the way they're doing it and and like this character's already suffering enough but i thought okay now we're going to get badass bicks

Starting point is 00:20:26 because they've done the trope as like oh no she's still suffering she's still now she's a drug addict yeah now she's uh her she's more lost than ever the trauma hasn't resolved and i honestly don't i don't know what the show's going to do but like the way they're handling the PTSD of what she's suffering as for her to be such a emotional and psychological depiction of the after effect so much of the time in Star Wars what you see is like I lost my home I lost this and there's sadness but to see this like ongoing struggle and consistent dissent is powerful and I think AJ Arjona is like knocking out of the fucking park right now yeah this is brilliant I was marveling across these at the casting and like the casting was already great but like the people that

Starting point is 00:21:19 were already used to seeing have have only grown further into those characters and this does look like the kind of show that like yeah would be cool to be on but also looks like an actor's dream because no matter who you're playing even the bell hop seems like that's an interesting role that you would kind of have to sink your teeth into a little bit even if it is for a moment or two and with bicks i mean yeah there's this sense of like she has gone through personally more than a lot of people have and it is a ton but it all feels like they're at least approaching it with yeah how would

Starting point is 00:21:49 this person actually cope with this where would they go from here and as much as I am sad to see so much harshness heaped on one character like just again yeah like you said the performance is so lived in and you can see I think it's again it's nice when

Starting point is 00:22:05 you are able to see the broader aspects of the character beyond you know in a lot of things like this, it's easy to have characters who are mostly concerned with what the plot is doing and dialogue that's mostly about that. And like they'll throw in some charming stuff here and there for flavor. But this is like, you get to see her, you know, at the store, you know, trying to have a little bit of fun. And both of them grappling with this sort of compartmentalization of like,

Starting point is 00:22:31 how do we just be at home while we're also like in the midst of wartime? And like this show feels like I've never lived directly in overt wartime like this. But it feels like the theme they're going for is what is life like during wartime yeah and that's so tangible and uh and there's there's one other thing i had in mind uh just like i got a no pad john i know i know well i love while you when when you that pops back in your memory um i think the the deception on everyone's front is is so cleverly orchestrated but what they're doing with detra what they're doing with cyril like cyril's so much of the first two episodes of this chunk really belong to cyril and it had me going at times of wondering maybe cyril is you know like maybe he's actually tempted it's one of those things we're like you're setting off with my mission but then as you get personally involved you start to you start to like maybe go maybe i'm making the wrong choice here but no it's a good yo i i love the commitment to damn this guy's evil. This guy is awful.

Starting point is 00:23:41 And we've interviewed him and I can't pull his name right now. Kyle Soler. God damn it. Yeah. Shit, I forgot we interviewed him until like later into watching this. Got to talk to Cyril and Bix. That's the talk to Cyril and Bix, man. That's right. And watching

Starting point is 00:23:56 how he plays that, I love when people play liars in a real way. That's one of my favorite things about Walter White and Breaking Bad is he's a believable ass liar. A lot of times in movies and shows, it's like, come on, they're obviously fucking

Starting point is 00:24:12 lying. Yeah. Like, how does no one see that? He plays it so well that even though the show has told me what he's doing, I'm going, but maybe, you know. It makes the double agent stuff more compelling because then, yeah, because you, the audience member, have to remember to be on your toes. And it

Starting point is 00:24:28 also, I think, just speaks to, like, the fact that, like, it is hard to do that and you are constantly subjecting your own emotional inner life to whatever ideas you're coming in contact with. So as much as we are constantly reminding, like, I don't think Cyril will come around to anything better or more benevolent. They still hit you with the glimmer, you know.

Starting point is 00:24:49 The deception of humanity. Like, he is no, that is such a thing that they're showing you here is that the empire truly is, this is making you hate the empire more than ever, I think. In all of Star Wars, I've never really hated the empire as much as now. like not one part of the empire seems cool yeah where as i'd absolutely say there's been plenty of other things where i'm like the empire looks kind of badass and a little cool at times you know you remove their their like ethos from all their cool looking armor and shit the propaganda just works on you yes yeah and the the fact that he can have zero humanity zero is so scary yeah

Starting point is 00:25:34 Because he is getting close, involved, gaining their trust, and watching this manipulation go down is, like, clever writing. And I think genius in the orchestration of how they did it in the first episode where, oh, the rebellions latching on him. But, oh, my God, he wanted that. And he's been aware of that that whole time. So smart. But then the character had to detail of how this guy has such big mommy issues that he also really wants to satisfy Dietra and is so. blind to this woman does not love you dude

Starting point is 00:26:08 this woman it finds you repulsive and is solely using you which which is another one of those things where you go if he ever finds that out could that work in our favor or is that just going to make him a new kind of awful you know I think it would make him a new kind of awful

Starting point is 00:26:24 I feel like it probably would end up being that and it's fascinating and I think too the other thing that it come to mind was like that talk they have in the meeting about following order was interesting because and it goes back to that theme of like needing to be united in the rebellion but yeah this we often associate that with tyranny with the sort of like you need to follow orders no matter what you know sort of like being a thing you have to rebel against or a thought process not to accept and yet in a situation like this there are like a lot of similarities between the way you have to behave on either side of that line you know it's like you do have to put all yourself aside and just follow the orders and i think again one of the major themes for everybody is like can you do that because in the heat of a moment you'll find pieces of your

Starting point is 00:27:15 humanity you didn't expect or you'll crush pieces of your humanity you didn't expect right mon mothma man yeah genevieve o're i i really do so many of these actors i i think absolutely deserve emmy consideration yeah and i fear the no one will be even remotely considered because it's under star wars Genevieve o'Reilly has consistently blown me away throughout this entire show anytime she's on screen completely captivating and she didn't get as much screen time as as prior but I just want to shout her out and I didn't even have anything I thought I would have something specific to say about her

Starting point is 00:27:57 well no I mean yeah she was great she was always great and yeah like even in small doses she brings such rich life to the character and i think in these three episodes what i was struck by with her is yeah you get to see while other people are doing these you know pockets of action whether it be mining the uh ridonium or you know heisting this caravan or whatever she's out here canvassing she's talking to people she's attending more parties and shit what i remember is she doesn't want to um i i think she can know she's what their shows brilliantly doing is the act she puts up in public in the meetings and the senate that is slowly going away and she will be

Starting point is 00:28:40 denouncing the emperor publicly yeah you know and i love how they're really building that up and they're showing how grave and dangerous that is and because she's so isolated in this like no one's backing her and it's a constant constant like plea to try to get some support here for like hey maybe we shouldn't be doing this to the people on this planet you know how horrible this is and no one wants to say jacked shit they're just complicit and I love how she's like that that fist clench in the Senate

Starting point is 00:29:12 which is there you can see that like a breaking point is happening and then the conversation with Krenick she can't put up the the false pleasantries anymore Krenick is is like really provoking her and I love when everyone's like she won't even fake laugh

Starting point is 00:29:28 in front of this guy's face I love his presence and yeah absolutely it's like okay when is it going to boil over to the point where she's like, I just need to make my statement publicly because maybe that's the only way. Like, yeah, in the Senate, maybe I need to grandstand just like that guy was and say my piece because having these private conversations going to talk to people on their turf only does things while I'm in the room and half the rumors are it's not working. So yeah, you've got to do something. Yeah, it's like watching the other side of the spectrum where

Starting point is 00:29:57 instead of trying to operate clandestine, you need to go overt as the politician, as the person who does have a seat at some kind of table risky though that may be because any of this rebellious activity is a risk no matter how sanctioned or not by the established order and even though yes she's not in a ton of this

Starting point is 00:30:17 chunk she's still left a big impression and that's something about the show like there's so many characters who maybe only meet once don't meet at all aren't related whatsoever and yet the further we get the more I think about and feel this show as an ensemble and they all compliment each other and I sometimes

Starting point is 00:30:34 forget that people aren't acting opposite each other and it in a way that I don't know it's like you know when you have actors amongst good actors everybody elevates each other like it feels like that's happening even when characters never meet each other it just feels like the whole spirit of the group effort is really present throughout everything now I'm going to say something is probably the final thing I'm going to say is that Diego Luna now when this show was first announced i was not interested i'm like i don't really remember diego luna that well in and or in uh rogue one and he didn't leave a strong impression on me even though diego luna i think is consistently a great actor even in the first season and whenever people talked about and or the show people

Starting point is 00:31:23 talk about and or the show and weirdly even though diego luna plays and or no one really talks about cassie and and or the character as the strength in the lead of the show and of the show and oftentimes he i i feel like he is in service like he is a great lead because he helps elevate and support the ensemble around him and a lot of the time though he's surrounded by actors who are getting to do a lot bigger things you know like my favorite arc in the last season is the uh prison and you know so much of that goes to antis circus yeah and uh luthin shines and like we talk about all these other actors and characters are shining day luna is rarely the one i think that gets highlighted even in my own eyes even though i consistently feel like

Starting point is 00:32:05 he does a great job always this chunk is my favorite of diego luna i really feel like here this is him as the lead of the show the most versatility that he got to display i love watching him put up the act uh the different dynamics he started to from arguments with luthin to his rough development with AJR. Hona, Bix. Every aspect of what Diego Luna brought here, I really feel like he was very much commanding the screen and really being the shining point when he was in the scenes a lot of the time

Starting point is 00:32:42 where normally I actually don't feel that with him. In spite of him, I feel like he's a supporting character who has top billing. And this was the first time I was like, no, he's the lead of the show. I really strongly felt that and way more than the first season. I think this chunk here is my absolute favorite of what they've done with the Cassian Andor character. I know there's a lot of, like, don't get me wrong.

Starting point is 00:33:09 Of course, like in the first three episodes of this series, it's about Andor and going to the backstory and shit like that. So yes, of course he's got it in the screen time. And of course he's the lead. I think in terms of like presence and impact, this one really did it for me for, for our title character. Yeah, I think the only cherry I would put on top of that is, yeah, I fully agree. And I really like the way that especially as of these three episodes, you see that continued journey of his whole life as this new version of himself, who is committed to the rebellion,

Starting point is 00:33:43 who is offering up his blood and flesh for it, and how he is learning to theorize that. He's had to prove himself a bunch of times and, you know, be brought into the fold. he's thoroughly in the fold and now he's at least being given some level of delegation go out see the gorman see what they're working with see if it's worth it and even though he comes back with a disagreement again that i think i'll come back to this a lot it's that again that splinter factor of like by the end of this it looks like he and bicks maybe striking out on their own or it could just be that they saw an opportunity everyone's going to be over at this event we can hit the empire and stop the spread of something horrible and in that moment you feel like

Starting point is 00:34:24 like it's just bix and and or now i'm sitting here wondering like what is the greater context was this discussed with anyone else you know and and as a you know political and you know uh revelatory maneuver it is calculated also rash and yeah i like watching him embody do more of that double speaking do more of that i am some rich you know weaver textile guy you know i'm on some uh you know textilist and i'm going to ingratiate myself and find information that way. And then I'm going to assess this whole situation and kind of, you know, put the faith in my own eyes and my own judgment. Definitely. And it's, you know, it's not concluded that, obviously. We still end this off with the debate of like, well, whose point of view is better? Clearly, and or

Starting point is 00:35:10 errs more toward the human and the personal, whereas, you know, Luton is so far into this, he must know, like, you know, I think it speaks to the human question that I imagine has to exist in any revolution which is how do you preserve your own humanity who gets to have the humanity when we are in the midst of something so important and literally a matter of life and death you know and thriving beyond all that so definitely terrific stuff also uh help her guy uh i forget is the guy with the who keeps saying might be oh lani my man awesome awesome awesome shit i'm glad he's getting more more time to shine to the overall i think yeah i think these three episodes are phenomenal and i think like the the crescendo the third ones being the

Starting point is 00:35:54 crescendo it's really easy to forget about like certain things and you know like all that there's a lot of like saw guerrera stuff again of course it's it's worse would occur he's a great he's he has fun with this role and i like seeing like oh here's here's how we're going to get this like physical deterioration to where he is in rogoid stuff like that is a neat like man i wonder what's going to happen to our buddy now that he's like fully breathing in the fumes and and you know clearly being swayed towards Saw Guerrera's point of view. All these things are so fun to get to anticipate.

Starting point is 00:36:25 I do like this release strategy and that it feels substantial and each three episodes feels well thought out as to why they put them out this way and now I've got some time to chew on it and anticipate for next week. Definitely. And the darkness of the rebellion. I love how like

Starting point is 00:36:41 this feels like the dark side of the rebellion and it's fucking gripping as shit. It is a damn good television. sad it's not more seasons everyone's firing i'm actually really happy it's not i i think like they're telling this is so cinematic and i think the three episodes structure we're getting like a movie every week yeah and i it's like the last one felt more like a solid like three episodes the way this concluded is it feels like a more of a part of a show um but i i i think like i'm i'm actually really glad

Starting point is 00:37:12 it's it's two seasons because of how they're executing this that it's going to leave that cinematic impact and cement itself as something much stronger in the end. So, yeah, I'm done. I've been holding the bathroom the entire last two hours, and I do got to go ahead. Greg's got to use the bathroom. What do you think of these episodes? Leave us your thoughts down below, and we will be back next week for episodes 7, 8, and 9. Say it's lower, thanks, Sean.

Starting point is 00:37:39 The sequel trilogy, peace, people. If I could travel to a gallery. Lexi far, far away with someone. Yeah. If we could, John. You know how I'd love to bring with us? Let me think about it really hard and see if I can guess. Is it Adelia Chamberlain?

Starting point is 00:38:00 Mm-hmm. How'd you know? I thought about it really hard. I could tell. We really did it. I had no guide. There's no list of these things, you know. Adelia would be a fun-ass person to travel with because while we're taking everything in,

Starting point is 00:38:14 she could be writing down what we're taking in. Yes, she's the stenographer of our. vacation across the galaxy so we want that man we don't want to be able we don't want to be lost and we don't want to we want to be able to look at shit and we need someone to take notes and to keep us in line whilst making it feel like it's all our idea oh yeah yeah ideally is really great at that too and you know she could be a great excuse to get out of so many conversations you're bound to run into a lot of very uninteresting aliens and creatures when you're going to the galaxy and a lot of you don't understand what the hell they're saying

Starting point is 00:38:47 So, like, might be cool at first to see, but after a while in the novelty wears off, you're just going to be bored out of your fucking mind. Yeah, that's why you need an Adelia. That's why I need an Adelia. So learn all those languages and translate. You're going to be working. You're going to be busting hump on our intergalactic trip here. She'd also be so great at being like, uh, boys, we got to go. That's like, not my fault.

Starting point is 00:39:09 We're in spacebugs. I got to go. Adelius calling us. Five more minutes in the space brothel. Seriously, how long has Adela been with us? You know a long time. Let's run the numbers. Since,

Starting point is 00:39:22 there we go. June 10th, 2017. Just, I have my birth. We're almost at the anniversary. I know. That shit craig. 2017?

Starting point is 00:39:34 2017 is what this says. I had this Patreon for eight years. I guess so. We should be making more money. We should be rolling. What's going on here? Double your pledge. God damn shame.
