I was just watching the new season of andor that made me go like "fuck i'm going to have to read theory aren't I."

spoiler for like s2 e1 but not really?the dude is like asking her advice on how to take this planet's goverment to exploit it for resources (which will eventually destroy the planet).

she says "propaganda isn't enough, you need to support a radical insurgency on the ground that you know are going to do the wrong thing"

If Andor season 1 is so good why isn't there an Andor season—

Dedra is such a terrifying villain! (I've only seen S2e1 so far, so dont spoil me in replies).

Dedra is such a terrifying villain!

i love her, though dkm i forgot her name and kind of just understood her to be another nameless face which serves the empire, which is kind of disorientating to grasp the comprehension that the state is a "living breathing system" which learns and adapts itself to try to overcome all who defy them

That fits in perfectly with Major Partagaz' thesis:

Security is an illusion. You want security? Call the Navy. Launch a regiment of troopers. We are healthcare providers. We treat sickness. We identify symptoms. We locate germs whether they arise from within or have come from the outside. The longer we wait to identify a disorder, the harder it is to treat the disease.

(no spoilers) I just finished ep3 and I'm so fucking happy this show is still peak. I was afraid they were going to libbify it but nope, they're going even harder now on showing the raw truth of fascism. I was genuinely shocked by some of the things this Star Wars show portrays. I can't recommend the show enough it's phenomenal (I wish we had some Andor emotes)

There should be a CW for attempted SA on ep3, just an fyi for anyone looking to watch.

Anybody know if there's an episode grouping to watch like the last season?

[–] MiraculousMM@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Only the first 3 episodes are out right now and they form a full story arc. The rest of the season is supposedly 3ep arcs as well with time skips between them.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Excellent.good to know, thank you!

I love the point the enlightenment dept guys make earlier, that they made a conflict on Ghorman, killed an imperial inspector, and then resolved it. All to push opinion in advance that the Ghorman's are difficult people.
