Well as I said I can understand and probably would of done the same in his situation. Though I do wonder if he had the ability to just incapacitate the other? But it was still a murder.
Spoilers Andor season one
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
Andor doesn't have to be a master spy or someone who is the best solider or anything. We are talking about ordinary people rising up against the Empire. I think the point with him is he is good enough for the job and part of that isn't because of expertise but simply because he is willing to do things many people would have problems doing. Killing people is a hard thing to do but a necessary thing for the kind of fight they are in. The fact he is willing to do it makes him someone they can count on.
I think the show is going to be about him finding self worth by applying his pragmatic ethics to a cause that is bigger than him or his soul. But it also might come in conflict with his search for his sister. I can see them doing something like having him do a major job or save his sister. He has to choose between being a rebel or a brother and which thing comes first.

I honestly don't mind what series looked better. "Babylon 5" had a smaller budget than the Trek shows and looked it. Yet, I still prefer it over any of the shows in the Trek franchise. The declining budget for "Agents of SHIELD" became pretty obvious as the show continued on. Yet, it remains my favorite Marvel TV series. How will "Andor" turn out, as far as storytelling is concerned? I don't know. I guess I'll have to wait and see. But I am a major fan of the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series.
I don't think we've even seen the legit Empire yet.
Ya bit it shows the small on the ground evil and corruption that leads to rebellion.
Its that kinda stuff I think is more interesting than the empire is evil cause "something something dark side"
You have a weird imagination.
(Don't take that as a compliment)
Guy is performance art. Stuff even the NEA would have to think hard about funding.
Dirty cops are businessmen.
They make money three ways.
By sending people to jail, by keeping people out of jail, or by keeping people out of jail they're trying to send to jail.
You can't do any of that with a corpse.
However...
Andor laughed at their penises.
If they could have beaten him to death with their sausage batons, they probably would have, but it'd have been bad for business, even if they hadn't been murdered.
"That's some damn fine Dathomir pie."
Not directly but we got a great glimpse of what life under the Empire is like with lapdog corporations acting as their proxy enforcement arm.
What makes you think there were cameras at the brothel?
We watched all 3 in a binge last night and I really liked it. It felt like a movie to me and, as others have mentioned, Shaw and Skarsgard are always a joy to watch. I also really liked Bix - she played Anathema Device in Good Omens btw.
The people on the crashed ship in the flashbacks were yellow. Is that a SW species or were they showing signs of toxicity of some kind? I *think* the latter, but thought I'd check here just in case.

It does seem like an odd place to have cameras.

I thought at first it was a yellow species myself, but when I look at the footage again the ship does seem to be spewing something yellow.
There weren't any. The OP was mistaken, I'm just wondering how he came to that conclusion.
Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I've never been able to wrap by brain around the idea that Americans consider "hell" to be in any way whatsoever a swear word. Next thing you'll be saying is that "damn" was a spicy word in the 70's too.
Ah! I thought I recognised her from somewhere! The lack of glasses and the antichrist threw me off, apparently.
It could be either at this point. There certainly are at least a few "humans but green/yellow" species in Star Wars, but one of them looked decidedly more "blotchy" than the others, plus there was a visible green gas emission from the ship during the decent, and IIRC some visible traces still coming from the wreck when it was on the ground too. That plus Bee & Maarva's lines about toxicity and that the one crew member to get back up was the one with his respirator mask still on.The people on the crashed ship in the flashbacks were yellow.

One interesting detail was that they all seemed to be crowded around a bank of escape pods, and yet, no pods were seen launching, but one bay we say opened was decidedly empty. The whole thing smacks of sabotage to me.
Well, that depends on whether they're there for insurance, or "insurance". Nothing like a little blackmail material to keep the corpo-cops from asking for too large a bribe.
Watched the first episode and couldn't face the other two. It was pretty much as I'd expected it to be, sadly.
I liked Rogue One but none of the characters really appealed. Andor absolutely didn't warrant being featured again nor had the makings of a lead character. The show was as dreary as I'd expected and was thoroughly disinteresting. Even the bad guy was dull, if annoying.
Junior loved it and reckons it offsets the lacklustre Kenobi series which he hated, but uninventive as it was, I at least found Kenobi watchable.
This will go on my "Star Wars I might watch eventually for completeness sake" list with around half of Clone Wars, Bad Batch, a chunk of Rebels and the other animations.
I'm coming to the conclusion that after four and a half decades I might have gone off Star Wars. Or maybe it's just not very good any more.
