the problem with re-watching andor is that it makes you into an annoying person. you will bring it up at the bus stop. people are just trying to live their lives and you're making them watch the "i made my mind into a sunless space" monologue on your phone - ThreadSky

I think I've rewatched the One Way Out episode like 4x. I'm haunted by, I can't swim.

alixeharrow.bsky.social•16 days ago

the whole thesis of the show seems to be that line about burning your life for a sunrise you'll never see??? and these are all the people who never get to see it, but fought anyway-- GOD it's so good!!!!

samiraahmed.bsky.social•16 days ago

SO GOOD. It's a bit on the nose to say this but it is such a show for our times and I love that for us.

Accurate 🧐

Counterpoint: the annoying part isn't us—it's the people who haven't watched it yet. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion—

Going through my rewatch now and I am once again obsessed and am open to people annoying me about it (I will not be annoyed)

alixeharrow.bsky.social•16 days ago

well right now I'm obsessed with richie from the bear's character, and the efficiency of cassian having to literally kill the guy who was, essentially, himself?? or the guy he was pretending to be??? baby that's what we call an ARC

sobbing because your thoughts are so smart and well formed and my thoughts are basically "oh my god adria arjona is so pretty" and "she's . .... so beautiful..." and "if there is a god i want to marry her in my next life" and "UGLY SCOTS MAN DON'T TOUCH HER"

chandlerjbirch.bsky.social•15 days ago

that’s my secret captain, I’m always annoying

veronicaroth.bsky.social•16 days ago

This is so real, I rewatched it a few weeks ago and it somehow…came up in every conversation I had until I was done with it

alixeharrow.bsky.social•16 days ago

"ha, yeah. sort of like Nemik's manifesto haha am i right. have you seen--"

Andor absolutely makes the Disney era of Star Wars worth it. It’s an absolute miracle that it ever saw the light of day!

alixeharrow.bsky.social•15 days ago

i am baffled (and grateful) every day!!

faitherinhicks.bsky.social•15 days ago

can confirm

aegixdrakan.bsky.social•16 days ago

I don't see the problem with that. 🤔

Thesis, please?

nicholasatwater.com•16 days ago

I see what you did there, Partagazz.

aegixdrakan.bsky.social•16 days ago

I have more! :D

"This is Tony Gilroy and Diego Luna, whose team has created an audiovisual spectacle that some of us are VERY excited about."

alixeharrow.bsky.social•16 days ago

hi andor is the only star wars property that is interested in empire as anything other than a costume. instead of valorizing the high-fantasy exploits of a single special family, it's an odyssey through the everyday violence of fascism--and the accumulated anger that becomes armed resistance

aegixdrakan.bsky.social•16 days ago

Oh dang, an actual thesis! :D

(Also that thesis is why Andor is the first Star Wars *thing* to catch my attention since I was young. It actually delves into the interesting, messy, human stuff instead of just "Magic space wizard sword go BZZZZWWWRRR")

alixeharrow.bsky.social•16 days ago

also everyone is angry and hot in a dirtbag way that uh really works for me

colleybri.bsky.social•15 days ago

Profound and relevant, but also highly gripping, with the intricate irony of a Dickensian novel. Plus: characters are particularly hot hot messes. Win-win. Perfect series.
