    The person I am supposed to watch it WITH has not been available so I have not. I fully intend to.

      My wife and I watched it and we both thought it was excellent. I think it’s interesting that, with the exception of Durin, all the best characters in the series are female.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        You think that was sufficiently nerded out? I'm not looking to you for staying power.

            Seems fair.

            Spoilers:

            The ambush was completely telegraphed.

            The dragon dogfight was epic, and the fact that the dragons got away from their riders was a perfect metaphor for war. That was the best moment of the season.

            The interactions of the Incest Couple were amazing throughout the entire episode. The looks without words during the war room scene. And then doing the reveal with backs to camera was brilliant direction. Venereal turning back to the camera at the end was adolescent and ruined the moment, but I get they had to hyperventilate for the MCU dummies so I'll throw them that one. The scene itself, magnificent.

            The war table was beautiful, and explained why the credits were lame this year -- it was all a setup to that. Also very funny Halloween nod and a joke on those taking this too seriously.

            I am so tired of Venereal, I was rooting for her to die with her stillborn Groot baby, but meh, I'll enjoy the Marriage Battle next year.

            And I love that Tall Squid Girl is so into her boy. That is a great touch and that actress is so charming.

            Finally, the stab into Daenerys face with "I don't wish to be Queen over ashes" was a nice exorcism of the whole tragedy of the first series.


            So I'll be more generous. B+. Next year needs more full frontal, right mookie?

              • Andor, after three episodes, might be the best Star Wars anything. Jesus.

                it's ****ing great. It has the potential to be better than Empire. The music is the best of all media. The directing is incredible. The acting is near the top if not the top. The writing has started very strong, hopefully finishes strong. It's not dumb and childish like almost all Star Wars.

                  Noted. I've noticed anything good done in the SWEU in the last 10 years went out of its way to avoid anyone from the main stories (Rogue One, Mandalorian (granted I've only seen S1 so far)).

                    Yup. Rogue One is great. Andor is the prequel to that.

                    Mando S1 was very good. But Andor blows that out of the water. And I still love that first season! (S2 is decent, but something just got lost in it a tiny bit)

                    Andor is good television irrespective of the Star Wars universe.

                    • Rogue One is trash imo, it is two mediocre films mashed together because the studio meddled and changed a lot. (see also: Solo) Half the story is laughably bad even for Star Wars and the other half makes no sense. Di$ney is a cancer to Star Wars.

                          SW has had a lot of garbage the past dozen years or so, but Rogue One is not in that conversation imho.

                            After empire, Star Wars was never special again. Good movies and series have been the exception.
