I was hoping for a little more action in this last episode, but it looks like shits about to go next level for season2.

When Syril saved Dedra from the mob, I couldn't help but think "now kith!!"

I'm actually glad it didn't end in a big battle sequence. I've been thinking that for so many shows the season always has to end with some type of fight to set up the next season. When really, there are so many other more interesting ways to do that.

Regardless of the issues of the show, I loved the fact that Rings of Power ended >!with ~10 minutes of no dialog, but fantastic imagery and music of the creation of the 3 elven rings.!< That's my opinion of course. I know it's dangerous speaking positively about rings of power on reddit lol

I usually find season finales boring because they try to be BIG, leading them to fall into "and then" storytelling instead of just focusing on writing a good episode - which Andor did in spades.

Less is more.

Less is more. They showed an appropriate amount of skirmish and chaos for what amounts to the Empire opening fire on a culture performing their funeral rites. I don't think there needed to be any more- they showed that Ferrix will not go down fighting, they showed Bix and friends being saved, they showed Cassian leaving successfully, and Luthen getting exactly what he wanted- a new soldier for his rebellion. I don't think there's much else that needed to be fought

I swear, I thought they were going to kiss as well. And, honestly, I didn't want that. It would have made zero sense. Especially given the setting and who they were. I hate it when movies/shows do that. The world is fall apart, monsters/aliens/bad guys are running amok and what do the two leads do? KISS! No. Stop. Just get out of there. Making smoochies later. Or none at all.

Yeah I'm glad they didn't would've felt like the typical (tired) trope of a woman who is an authority figure with power gets saved by the man and becomes his lover.

One of my favorite parts of Andor is how non-Tropey it is. Its like The Wire of the Star Wars Universe lol. Shows many different facets and character POVs, amazing dialogue, nuance, tension, subtly. Absolutely love it.
