Shoutout to the actors and the direction. It’s super easy to have their speeches come off as corny. Just read them instead of listening to them. It’s the direction that really sells it.

"I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong" was super poignant. I really love the show's writing.

One thing I like about Andor (the character) is that... yes, he is competent, but he's not much more competent than the thousands of other rebel heroes out there with their own untold stories.
Andor represents every reluctant rebel and the ripple effect that they all had in taking down the Empire, either directly or indirectly. I think it's smart that the focus isn't always on him.

Their relationship is so interesting to me. You can tell Dedra knows it's "proper" to be revolted by Syril, it's the thing she should do, but she's also so desperate for attention and recognition that the idea of having a little puppy that follows her around and lavishes her with praise is the only reason he hasn't been arrested or straight up murdered yet. Can't wait to see how toxic their relationship is in season 2 lol.

Man. If there's one major takeaway I have from this show, it's that they know how to write a good ass monologue. Maarva's was great, but Nemik's was legendary. Good dialog is such a subtle but important thing.
The suspense that was built with the marching band was also great. This show makes great use of relying on in-universe tools of suspense rather than just overlaying intense music on top of tense scenes.
Shoutout to Luthen being like, "Fuck yeah, this is a good speech" tho lmao

My friend was perfectly healthy. Completely normal. Would never suspect he had cancer. Got real sick for a few days and went to the doctor. Was diagnosed with leukemia and died 3 weeks later.
Crazy how quickly things can change.

One good thing came out of that season, at least.
