Two things: 1) Joplin Sibtain's (Brasso) very restrained performance, like every other actor's performance in this show, was spot on. It truly is jazz. It's not the notes that are played; it's the notes that aren't played. 2) The biggest problem with Solo is how close it came to actually...

If that's true, then I just can't. This show is already so much better than we deserve.

So that's where the line is. Just past "ISB interrogator with strong Dr. Mengele energy."

Sadly, I think that Episodes 11 & 12 will pale in comparison to the Narkina 5 arc. Not that I don't believe in the show but, dayum, how do you go up from there?

She may not like her daughter but she does love her daughter. And she also likely loves her family's good name.

I have teeth marks in my knuckles from how tense and exciting and thrilling that that episode was. The only core moment in Star Wars that even begins to approach the level of emotion in this episode is the Throne Room fight in ROTJ when Luke lashes out. The level of quality of, well...

Flying citadels are certainly one way to ensure that you have the high ground.

For starters, I don't think Kino ever believed in any kind of just world. He only believed that he knew how the game was played and was more than willing to play that game to save his own skin. His entire motivation the entire time was "don't screw this up for me." And he doesn't respect Andor...

It's not just you. They are painful. That's not to say that they're bad. Every scene is amazing. But they cause emotional anguish.

Well not exactly. Kino Loy had been there for a long time and had less than a year left. He doesn't "believe in the system" or in any kind of just world theory so much as he doesn't want Cassian to cause any trouble that would jeopardize his own place in a very cutthroat world. He was going...

I feel like that's the sort of thing that they certainly would have used on Leia in Star Wars and Han in Empire Strikes Back.

This show has gone from tense to taut to gripping to exciting to terrifying. Every actor is delivering an epic tour de force of barely restrained emotions. Syril's mother steals every scene she's in, though Syril steals many of his own. Dedra Meero is bone-chillingly ruthless. Dr. Gorst is a...

I think that the prison is better crafted than you give it credit for. It's not prisoners vs guards. It's cell blocks vs each other, tables against each other. prisoners against each other. And the worst enemy of all is despair. Kino Loy is a prisoner. He's ultimately a straw boss. We don't...

Realization that didn't sink in until I had my coffee: At the beginning of the episode, Cassian is brought in to fill a vacant spot at a table. He is the new guy. There is no mention of the prior prisoner. At the end of the episode, a prisoner commits suicide. He is treated as a bit of...

I think that was the most depressing 48 minutes of sci-fi I have seen since the first episode of The Leftovers. Honestly, that episode explains the Rebellion far more than any speech by Jyn Erso ever could. Once again, it's a show that tells a story without words.

Thorin McGee from the very enjoyable 3 Wise DMs podcast has died from colon cancer. https://3wisedms.com/thorin-in-memoriam/

Maybe it's not Isildur. Like maybe it's Isildur Franklin and years down the road there's an Isildur Johannson. We don't know his last name.

Andor, on the other hand, has actually shown human characters bleeding on-screen, a first for Star Wars if I'm not mistaken.

B2EMO is okay. But I'll stick with BMO
