This one hurt.

This one hurts. A lot. But an amazing episode. It also did the impossible. Made us feel bad for Cyril's mom.

20 episodes (4-5? in world years) of obsession. Syril’s life changed so much for a ‘who are you’ . Plenty to say just for him (sort of bless him he wasn’t a bad lad really just on the wrong side) but that was such a cutting end for him (I did write this before watching as seems like just writing what you said)

Highest rated episode of Star Wars television ever. THIS is peak. There is nothing else like this, and how impactful it is. Thank you for sharing this with us

Where do we go from here? Oh get ready...as Genevieve O'Reilly (Mon Mothma) said in an interview..."It's a juggernaut" If you get the chance after, watch the press junkets with Denise Gough (Dedra Meero) - she couldn't be more different from her character - she's so lovely and hilarious.

Fucking hell I both love and hate this episode, both because it's SO GOOD. Just so heart breaking and so fucking relevent. I am literally counting the hours until the next one. Episode 9 is my favourite episode of all of Andor. I am so fucking ready.

This is always a hard one to watch. The old man who killed Syril and was so broken at the end is Carro Rylanz. Syril’s rage exploded when he saw Cassian. I don’t have much to add, because you understood it very well. Dedra clearly was shaken by what happened. I don’t know if she knew at that point that Syril was dead, or if she was just shaken by being the “trigger” of a massacre. Either way, she shook it off by aggressively straightening her uniform like she was trying to smooth out the genocide wrinkles. It’s like she was telling herself to get over it, she’s an ISB Supervisor. This whole episode is difficult, but what always gets me the most is that desperate plea for help by Dreena on the radio. “Help us! Is there no one who can help us?” What’s amazing is that, to me, this isn’t the best episode of the series. That’s still to come.

So glad i get to enjoy this journey again with you. What a great show, can't wait to see what you think of the rest.

Syril's been one of the most fascinating and nuanced portrayals of a character in this universe, a role that in other media would have been simplified to some sniveling cardboard cutout. We're so used to watching Imperials get blown away by laser fire in these movies, but Gilroy and the writers have put so much effort into finding the human behind the Wilhelm scream, if you will. What it would take to make a person so indoctrinated and open to manipulation, cosplaying the cop-aganda that gave him some sense of purpose and comfort in his isolated, abusive existence. And, crucially, understanding him doesn't mean they excuse him. I love that you mentioned "Les Miserables" because he's basically the fun-house mirror version of Javert, only when he finally finds and confronts his Jean Valjean, Valjean has no clue who he is. I like to believe there's some alternate timeline where Syril might have continued along a redemptive road, and they were so smart to build a character across the two seasons who very believably could have done that, but Gilroy has always been a genius at finding the perfect end point for an arc. Whether it's Kino not being able to swim, or Syril lowering his gun an inch only to have changed far too late...every character's fate is so poetically and credibly written into their whole life, in a way that feels as inevitable as it does tragic. A brilliant character and portrayal.

Did I read/hear somewhere that you're a history teacher? Yeahhhhh this is gonna be an especially rough one.

This is, for me personally, one of the most powerful, impactful episodes of TV (not just Star Wars) I've ever watched. It hits hard and never stops, and feels real - because it is, its based on real life stuff from the past. I'm sure its been said before but Tony Gilroy is well read in history (for stuff like this at least). How the Aldhani are treated (so long ago now) is based at some level on the Highland Clearances in Scotland. And one of the inspirations for this is Bloody Sunday in Ireland. I think one of the reasons this stuff hits so hard is because it has been real.

Mark Walston

NONE of us were prepared for this. Note: Carro Rylanz is played by Richard Sammel. He should get an award just for that last scene. No words. But also, no words needed.

I like how you picked up the Les Miserables nod. Tony Gilroy purposefully structured the Ghorman arc to be like Les Mis. When you get a chance (for you own viewing and not as a reaction), watch the cinematic-level fan made documentary after watching the series finale. He beautifully sheds light on Tony Gilroy's vision and inspiration for making Andor: Revolution. The documentary maker wonderfully points out all the real-world references to all the characters, actions, and power dynamics of the series. It's the best documentary that, (in my opinion) on ANY Star Wars project...EVER! It's almost two hours long, but is SO WORTH watching. The guy needs an award for his work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HLS_SQbWR4

"Rebellions are built on hope." “Who are you?” The episode title fit. "This is Palmo One... This is Palmo One. We are under siege. We're being slaughtered. The Imperial murder of Ghorman has begun." Andor S2E8 (IMDb 9.7/10)

Jeff Turner

"who are you?" such a simple but poignant, complex and. literally for Syril, stunning line O.O

Jeff Turner

the scene with us focused on Syril's disgust and shock as we pan around him reminds me so much of the Braveheart scene with Robert the Bruce after the battle; brilliantly done

I didn’t think of Syril as increasingly disheveled, his hair changed but was very well trimmed. Rather, I felt his look evolved from the strict, military look at first into this organic flowing style that might have been trendy on Ghorman. It seemed like he had “gone native” and had started relating to the Ghorman culture and people. It might have started as a persona, but it might have been his most realized self in the end.

I ran out of clone wars and realized I NEVER FINISHED ANDOR WITH YOU!!! I HAVE 4 EPISODES AND A MOVIE. HELL YEAH
