That’s what happens when a leaderless group of dorks are faced with a crisis. I thought it was a great metaphor for the rebellion needing a strong leader to keep from ripping itself apart so easily at the first sign of adversity

Based on what we know or can guess due to the timeline involved, shit's going to probably get real in the next 3-episode drop, and we'll see these smaller groups that are misled or mismanaged or just incompetent fall by the wayside (and even be sacrificed) in favor of people/organizations that are competent and 100% dedicated.

Yeah the worst thing an opposition group can do is rip itself part bc it’s leaderless and you have warring factions.
 

 

 

Wait I saw that season last year. It sucked. You lose every time

Gilroy is obsessed with history and revolutions, as said by many of the actors in several interviews, and I have a lot of faith - he started and then brought a lot of arcs to a close last week that were clearly meant to get us to the brink.  I think last week's episodes are the last of "normalcy" we see in Andor - I will not be surprised if this week's episodes are Mon Mothma becoming the head of the resistance, because we will only be a few years out from the Battle of Yavin.

Spoiler

I won't even be surprised if Mon Mothma gives her famous speech in the first episode this week.

I liked him better doing rare equations and trying to manipulate Will.

How did I miss this terrible post? Stellan Skargard has been spectacular throughout this series.

I have enjoyed the show.  I just didn't care for the boring drawn out bullshit.  Move the fuck on.

For some folks on here evidently an ounce of any criticism means you hate everything.  Gotdammit to hell.

and if I hurt my thumb, I'm not going to ask you to kick me in the nuts( Phantom Menace) to make me forget my thumb.

Go write and produce your own Star Wars show.

It would be the crew from Yavin IV stumbling and bumbling around Tatooine, bitching about the Empire that they can't beat and will always have below on the totem pole.  Shoot, they ain't even the CIS

You are entitled to your opinion no matter how wrong it is. It’s just strange that you picked the one thing about the series that makes it so goddamn good compared to other Star Wars projects. Meaningful dialogue and plot lines are what make this show so good.

You can have your terrible opinion. We can tell you your opinion is terrible. If you don't like that then you don't have to give it or you can just live with us making fun of your shitty opinion. Or you can do your patented triple down and we can pop in the slorch'd gif.

Also if you don't like the show, or the way it is written, or that it is not pew pew light saber battles, why are you starting, and continuing, to bitch about it in a thread about the show? 

It is the most Derka-esque "omg look at me!" post I've seen on the TV forum since Derka's Ted Lasso rants.  It truly rivals the Helo/rage shit in TLOU thread right now.

Gilroy HAS shown to have the occasional slow start. That was a common take about Rogue One on initial release. But he rewards your patience with a stunning second half, and those things that seem slow on the first watch become revealing on the second and third.

I generally don't make up my mind about a thing until I've finished it. Ride until the end, and see what the ending tells you about the beginning. That's why, when your shit really stinks, I get furious. (glares at The Acolyte and anything written by Heinlein)

But even if you're not wired that way, I think Gilroy has earned our patience.

the reviewers for Rotten Tomatoes said that the first three episodes are the weakest of season 2. 

Damn, and they were really good. 

About to get our dicks blown off for the next 3 weeks

I don't dislike the show.  Never said I did.  Anywhere in the thread.

I commented that I didn't like a certain aspect of it, one which other people evidently deeply enjoyed/ appreciated.  Why cannot that exchange just happen without the namecalling or callouts?  I did not do that.  Others did.  I commented on the show.  Others commented on me.  They can fuck right off.

I've watched 15 episodes and intend to continue.  Heaven forbid we don't all agree on something going forward.  I won't interupt the echo chamber again.  Lesson learned.

Bullshit.  Sinta will break your heart or get stabby without remorse.   

The old guy suffers because he has to become what he doesn't want to succeed, and he is working to build up others around him.  He is not evil, hates the empire and he hates himself.

Nah, they were in-conflict from the outset.  It just came to a head there as the stress of a lack of leadership, starvation, monsters, and inability to escape presented themselves.

Feels like we are close to just being on a rollercoaster for the rest of the series.

Whatever happens, the dancing was definitely her last hurrah before she plunges full on into the rebellion.
