2026-02-06 21:06:26 +0000 UTCOh yeah, as a big Wheel of Time fan that guy doesn't deserve the name Perrin!

2026-02-06 21:05:40 +0000 UTCYeah! That tie fighter sound gives me chills every time I hear it in the show.

2026-02-06 21:02:00 +0000 UTCIt's on our radar, but we just don't have room in the schedule right now. I'm really looking forward to it though!

2026-02-03 13:52:18 +0000 UTC2 points: a) ANDOR season one did get nominated, and did win a few awards. (For editing, and generally "outstanding series") But noteably it won a Peabody. It's a prestigious award! (The Peabody Award recognizes distinguished achievement in electronic media (television, radio, podcast, and online) for "stories that matter," focusing on public service, social impact, and excellence rather than popularity.) It was nominated for a lot more. b) Season two was nominated for so many more, and won so many more awards. But, be patient, well talk about that later 😂. When you're done with season one, I'd like to know what awards Chandra & Jordan would give the first season?? Anyone else reading this, too! Start your sheet, and at the finale episode, we can give realistic awards for whatever we want!

2026-02-03 03:48:59 +0000 UTCNemik looked so sad when Cassian admitted he was only there for the money. He really believed that Cassian was someone who could be won over to the cause. I just want to be able to tell him, "Don't worry, Nemik. Cassian Andor will become a rebel hero!" Mon Mothma's husband (Perrin) is awful. Actively turning your child against the other parent is reprehensible.

2026-02-02 18:15:58 +0000 UTCQuick fun facts! A) Syril's mother is the same actress who portrayed Harry Potters neighbor. She came to 'rescue' him when the Dementora attacked him and his step brother. B) something I caught on rewatch, Syril is sitting in his childhood bedroom, and catches just a few seconds of sunlight on his face. At this low level of housing, beneath many tall skyscrapers, he only gets a few seconds of sunlight per day 😞. C) There is a kind of parallel between the rebels equipment, and the prop designers. Both have a limited budget & limited time, and in the end, they have to work with what they have, and make it work. 😁 D) The writers of Andor do something subtly different than most film & TV, in that they don't do traditional setup / payoff. What I mean is, they will often say something, and it will be explained later. And it's not the really big important stuff, it's subtle, little things. It makes a rewatch a real treat, because you, the viewer, remember the payoff explanation, but don't necessarily recall the setup. Or vice versa. Anyway, they (the writers) don't give you anything. It's all there, but you have to spot it, find it, hear it... The overly observant viewer is heavily rewarded, and rewatched are made even more special 🥰

2026-02-02 17:54:39 +0000 UTCThis show made TIE fighters truly terrifying again, and in ways that reflect real-life methods of using military hardware to terrorize and intimidate.
