not an original sentiment but as top tier as that game changer episode was, i think they should’ve released the clips with no context like a month ago and had us sit with them for a while and THEN release the episode with the winners revealed!!

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

James Gunn’s thesis statement for his Superman is simple and effective: "Be good. Do good. Be human despite the bad things. That is the most punk rock thing in a world so stoic and cynical."

And that’s how it should be. That’s beautiful, the new Superman movie is beautiful.

Some day I want to see a show that does the “no filler episodes” thing from the opposite direction. Just a whole season worth of low-stakes character pieces that seem to move the overall story absolutely nowhere, then episode 26 pulls all the triggers at once and this massive Rube Goldberg machine of a plot the show’s been quietly setting up in the background the whole time hits you like a truck.

Just saw a YouTube short pointing out the "mistake" of Dedra Meero claiming to have been raised in an "Imperial" kinderblock, despite being old enough to have lived through the fall of the Republic. Unlike Dedra, the Galactic Empire isn't old enough to buy revnog and peezos. So what gives?

The thing is, plenty of characters in Andor refer to the late Republic as "Imperial" in the present day of the story. For example, on Ferrix we hear that Kenari was the site of an "Imperial" mining disaster. But in Cassian's flashback, the mining disaster has clearly already happened - yet Maarva refers to the approaching threat of a Republic warship.

These inconsistencies aren't mistakes - they're worldbuilding. It illustrates that to people in the world, the distinction between the late Republic and the Empire has started to blur. Imperialism extends its influence not only in the spatial realm of planets and sectors, but also in the very minds of its subjects. Additionally, it mirrors something from the Prequels - by the end of Attack of the Clones, when we see Stormtrooper-like Clones boarding proto-Star Destroyers as the Jedi Council looks on, we are meant to understand that the Republic-Imperial transition is already well on its way.

The fact that Andor understands this, builds on it and communicates it to the viewer without banging us over the head with exposition-laden dialogue is just one example of why it's the best piece of Star Wars media produced... maybe ever? And the fact that this is lost on the Star Wars Content-Industrial Complex is disappointing, if not unexpected.
