Yeah - I would've been fine if we’d seen Bix covered in grime as an engineer for the Rebellion or even just some backwater planet while also having a kid. But instead, she’s reduced to this idyllic visual that the show lingers on with a fetishistic gaze, indulging in the patriarchal fantasy. - ThreadSky

I can’t really argue with that. It felt very stereotypical. On the other hand I was so happy at least one person survived, she has been through so much! I was really scared they wanted to kill her off.
If she had been more active on screen this season, it might have felt more earned?

Not only would the scene have been better in any other location, but ESPECIALLY since the specific idyllic landscape she apparently chose to return to was the one where she was almost r***d. That seemed like an incredibly tasteless choice for that scene

they invented a fridging where the fridged character doesn’t even die

Yeah, when she left the message my first thought was that they had somehow found a way for her to (non-lethally) fridge herself for Cassian's character growth!

i think a piece of media that actually didn't fall into that was the spider woman comics where spider woman had to balance her life between being a superhero and being a single mom.

The fan in me wanted her to be setting up a meeting with a Bothan faction, the small amount of optimism left in my heart wanted her to start learning to fly an x-wing, the cynic that is most of me now saw it coming a little bit 🫤

Hate that i called it at the beginning of the season cause her writing was Off imo (despite everyone creaming themselves over “finally a weak feminine character who’s not a badass girl boss uwu”) but i didn’t think it was gonna be so direct and obvious about the hetslop

She could have died between rogue one and Andor. No one would question that.
She didn’t have to leave for him to be fully committed. The lone hero thing from spaghetti westerns doesn’t really work in Star Wars.

The timing between Rogue One and Andor is like a couple hours

Ah I see. Well Jessie is right. And I hope they never try to dig deeper into Luthens Lore. Keeping him a mystery is part of his appeal and also it destroys his speech.

Have you seen the last three episodes?

Yes
