This was a psychological torture chamber! I'm so happy with this show and how it highlights the Empire's atrocities, making the hate I feel for it come gushing back! But now Andor's trapped inside this thing with seemingly no way out.

CERTIFIED MELSHI MOMENT WOOOO

Hayden

"Raise the Alarm once more and it won't be me you're speaking to."-Dedra Ma'am with Respect I can think of very few individuals more terrifying than you 😬 What next you're telling me Palpy himself will enter to greet Syril instead?! 😂 Imagine lol And We've arrived at the Famous Prison Arc which is probably everyone's favourite Arc from Season 1 and for quite a few even across the whole show. Almost Everyone is looking for Andor but no one knows where he is and It's also so funny that the Empire itself is now after Andor too and they don't even realize they've got him in their own prison 🤣 Dedra & Syril meeting was quite something to see lol, the fact that Syril basically got their attention by spamming the Report Button 🚫 is hilarious he's literally doing anything to make Andor known and get him found 😂 But that meeting didn't go quite how Syril predicted I imagine where it turns out Dedra already had all the information she needed to know which made Syril redundant further showing off her competency and suddenly he has to try be useful & sell himself to try get apart of their investigation which didn't work. So seems like Syril's little connection and one chance to greater power has been severed, or has it?? 🤔 If there's one thing we know about Syril is that he's incredibly persistent 😅 so I guess we'll have to wait & see if he initiates something else and another opportunity arises. Yeah Mon Mothma's scenes where she's navigating her social gatherings are so fun to watch, on one end we have a torturous Prison side and the other we have quite a nice environment to balance things out lol. But it's quite nice just to see more of the kinda work she does where she hosts events like this to discuss legislations and to get votes for it and we get to see all the opinions and thoughts of other senators too and both sides, and how respectful it all still is even when they having opposing views, and you can understand where some of them are coming from like some think the whole overreach thing is necessary because of the increased "rebel/terrorists attacks" and are willing to agree with it because of public safety, but then you just have the "in their own world" ones where they don't care because it doesn't effect them anyway as long as they can still drink their fine wine 😂🍷 Idk how much you picked up but we also got a little bit of history on Mon & Perrin themselves and a little clarification on their relationship where they both moved to Coruscant at 16 when Mon became a senator but they had already been married a year, the guests thought it was romantic but Perrin said "and traditional, as the old ways of Chandrila" I think by that line he's implying they are in an arranged/forced marriage of some kind 💍 which I think answers a lot of questions we had about them lol and why they're still together. Yeah Vel & Cinta have quite the complicated relationship 😂 as is the case when they're in a rebellion/revolution situation haha. I'm pretty sure they first met on the Aldhani mission but we know they spent 5 months there which is a lot of time and in that environment with the stress & pressure they were under it would've been so easy to cling to each other for comfort and "stress relief" and suddenly there's feelings involved, complicated feelings. And now that the mission is over they're in that awkward "what now?" situation, a "Situationship" is what I think people call it lol. Cinta's clearly more for the cause and doesn't think their connection is that important being the cold person she is while Vel is open to being together & pursuing it and making something more out of it. Also just a clarification; Cinta's cover story she'll be using while at Ferrix "Maybe I'll be a rich girl who ran away from her family" was a slight mockery because I think that's Vel's actual backstory not Cinta's 😂 that's why Vel had that reaction I Imagine. My guess would be because Cinta lost her family in that Tragic way not by choice and Vel ran away from a "rich family" by choice and didn't lose any of them if that's the case it's probably something Cinta holds against her in some way, obviously we dunno the circumstances of why Vel ran away if it's true though. Ohh and now typing all that out... 😂 I've just realized that's why Cinta doesn't wanna pursue more because she already lost her actual family/loved ones and doesn't wanna risk going through that again so she has that wall up for protection, how'd I just realize that years later?! 😂😂 But the Prison itself is quite something to see & watch. The Way it's designed & how it's run is so terrifying, dehumanizing and hopeless but brilliant at the same time where you can admire it conceptually. The whole idea around just the Floors which are sparkable ⚡ being the thing that keeps the prisoners in line and have them do whatever the Empire wants is torturous 😬 Then when you look at the productivity side of things having tables of 7 compete against other tables is an interesting way of doing it but works so well, if the slowest table of each day gets electrocuted at the end of the shift that'll certainly keep them "motivated" and adding a reward of "flavoured food" for the fastest table each day is even more "motivating" and just cruel. Also quite interesting that the Manager of the floor is a Prisoner too although I doubt he was assigned that role by choice, but I'm guessing if he competes against other floors he & the whole room get electrocuted if they fall down in the bottom of the ranks of the whole prison so that's obviously his motivation for making sure the entire floor is doing their job. And the even more horrible thing is they're all so caught up in this "game" while in the grand scheme of things they're just being useful tools for the Empire and making parts for them the Psychological effects this place has on them is nuts especially how every prisoner thinks of each other, I mean we watched a prisoner off himself and everyone only complained about him smelling, and also because his table knew they were gonna be one worker short the next day so they'd have to work harder till his replacement arrives. But the darkest aspect is the fact that the floor is so accessible and I can imagine after a while it starts to look really "appealing" and tempting to Prisoners that have lost their minds & hope and are contemplating giving up, that Floor itself at night seems like such an "easy escape". I'm completely lost as well I don't see any way out of here so far it seems impossible. But if there's one thing we know about Andor is that he's very observant so maybe after a little time there he'll be able to pick up on some things that'll help. Anyways now Poor Bix has gotten caught by the Empire again can this girl ever get a break?! 😭 Sadly I suspect her using the Radio might've been a giveaway and had something to do with why they showed up at the Shop later and took in Paak, I'm guessing if they Tortured Paak he might've been the one to tell them about Bix and why they knew to go after her. Anyways now she's been greeted by Lovely Miss Dedra Herself 😬 Let us hope she only wants to have a Nice sitdown and chat over a cup of tea 😅☕ who am I kidding I doubt she's gonna be that hospitable so I'm absolutely terrified to see what will be awaiting Bix next episode 😰😰

I had to look him up but so glad he’s in here too and it’s so cool to see someone else from Rogue One show up!

😂 😂 I can just imagine Palpi coming down to scold Syril, at this point I think Dedra’s terrifying enough to scare even him into doing it 🤣 I can see why this arc would be a favourite, the level of detail that’s in the prison alone is amazing and I can already see how this can shape Andor but I know that no matter what I think, the show will just blow my assumptions out the water! But I absolutely love that this might be the first kind of positive mess Andor’s got himself into 🤣 🤣 Everyone’s looking for him, including the Empire, and they quite literally can’t even realise they already have him! Dedra and Syril meeting was so much fun, the man’s such a hater for just spam reporting until someone comes to tell him to shup up, and then Dedra just comes in to tell him how useless he truly is since she knows everything already. I’m trying so hard to see the depth of Syril’s ego and inflated sense of self importance but I’m starting to think there really isn’t a bottom. This man really thinks he’s the most beneficial person in any room and nothing will stop him until he proves it. There are no doubts in my mind that he won’t stop here, he’s definitely going to keep trying to get Dedra’s attention and at this point my only question is how Dedra can get this man to stop. All of Mon’s scenes were so amazing and I love how much they do with her here, getting to see the inner workings of how she tries to change people’s opinions in this setting was so fun to watch as you have to imagine this probably happens a lot in realty. Having this civil discourse just to discuss the issues and try to win votes while highlighting the motives of the senators is such a powerful thing as we get to see how much they all vairy, some think they’re doing good, some agree with Mon while others only care for themselves and their own luxuries. I realised this eventually 🤣 and it just makes me feel so much worse for Mon, she’s not only stuck in the heart of the enemy, but also her own marriage was arranged so can we even say if she does love the person she has to spend her life with. I know in some situations arranged marriages can work where both sides actually want it but having it done at 15 feels so barbaric and adds a real tragedy to Mon’s past and a real blight to Chandrila’s culture and traditions that they allowed this. Makes me want Mon to get with Tay even more! 😂 Vel and Cintra’s relationship is such an awesome thing to explore in a rebellion, I actually had no clue their relationship was this new as they felt so close, but it makes so much sense considering the situation they were in where people would get very close very fast. But now that threat that there were constantly under is gone, the mission is over and they have the chance to catch their breath, yet Cintra doesn’t want that and will only carry on with the mission. It’s so telling of who she is as an individual as she’s clearly defined by the fight and what the Empire has done to her so she just can’t stop as she’d lose herself. Vel on the other hand comes from luxury and always has the option to stop fighting and go home. It creates such a rift between them where this calm atmosphere will test their relationship the most and make them realise if they actually want to be together; Cintra’s already started to push Vel away since as you said she doesn’t want to risk losing more family, so she just doesn’t make new family to lose. It’s so sad to see how things are already coming between them but if they do pull through this it will make their relationship so satisfying and strong knowing that the calm is what their biggest obstacle was. This prison gets to me on so many levels!! 😂 😂 After studying Architecture I can’t help but admire the way the design works with behaviour in how effective it is, of course this a whole new level of evil the Empire has sunk to but just seeing how this place functions is both so alarming but also so impressive. Literally half of my architecture studies were about how the built environment influences human behaviour, and this felt like the most twisted and perfect example of it. The Floors especially are kind of a marvel, it’s the one thing in this entire place that will always be interacted with, not doorways or handles or walls or tables, but the one thing that no matter what, someone will always be interacting with it, making it the perfect device to control behaviour. This of course does that by force and torture instead of guiding people like by offering choices or options to allocate a response, this takes the option of choice away. It’s just such an interesting concept but seeing it in action is such a nightmare and it’s the perfect method to take away someone’s free will and control them. It’s also quite poetic in the sense it’s the one thing that controls them while also being their only escape by instant death. I feel like I could go on about the floors for an eternity 🤣 but as for all other aspects of the prison, they’re just as insane! The ‘game’ theme of the work is so terrifying as allows for someone to get lost from their situation, almost like how Los Vegas operates by pumping in air into building without daylight so people lose track of time and just keep gambling, this makes people lose the sense of incarceration by giving them something to do and forces them to focus on the threat of punishment, keeping them productive. The of course you have the guard situation where the prison is so clearly design to operate under minimal security with the rooms having one main access point, higher up allowing for better visibility, all meaning the cost of maintaining this place would be insanely cheap as you don’t have to pay for a load of guards to keep things in line. Then the effect this place has on the people, forcing teamwork but also competition is rather brilliant, everyone will get along to try and get better tasting food and not get shocked at the end, it’s such minimal motivation but it means the Empire can get its prisoners to keep pumping out whatever their making at incredible rates. The ending makes it so clear of the long term effects where people either give up since the floor is right there and the Empire allows them to just go for it, giving them that false sense of freedom with not bars or doors keeping them from the floor, like their taking the control of their lives back into their own hands, only for them to do it and have everyone hate them for the effect it will have on them, a man down for work, a bad smell for the rest of the night. It’s dehumanising to an absolutely absurd degree!! Bix really can’t catch a breakthrough any of this, I truly believe at this point her character’s whole purpose is to suffer at the hands of the Empire to truly demonstrate and put a face to the cruelty they so often inflict. I can only imagine what kind of horror Dedra has waiting for her, Paak didn’t look like he enjoyed their little chit chat so I already know Bix’s time with Dedra will end up being so much worse 😨 😨
