Nope, he's just a fascist, blind to corruption as he focuses on the hated enemy. The sole blame for his circumstances, circumstances obviously unfit for one as superior as himself. Circumstances improved only by the crushing of this enemy.

The scene with Stellan Skarsgård and Forest Whitaker was so good. How Luthen is struggling to bring diverse interests against the Emperor together, and how Andor's heist was the catalyst to compel the Emperor to force them into alliance. And their fantastic acting. Two actors I never knew I wanted to see together.

Watching Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities at the moment on Netflix - would thoroughly recommend. Just finished watching episode 4 with Kate Micucci taking the lead role, and it is a masterpiece.

Fixed it for you. Haven't you heard that "he's going to play the marvel version of superman"

Cavil said he's all in on The Witcher for seven seasons as long as he agrees with the direction of the show. As a fan of the source material, I wasn't happy with Season 2. I guess he wasn't happy either.

I'd say it's that, plus some James Gunn's DCU sized contracts under his nose.

That's nothing but fan casting.

Goddam Andor is good. Andy Serkis is such a great addition to the cast.

I loved his "Never more than 12" being a "You sonofabitch, I'm in." moment.

Torture via the cries of the children of an extinct sentient species... that was so dark.

I like the contrast you can see with Andor's and Syril's mothers.

But where are they taking this with Syril and Dedra? Is she going to be able to resist having a pet worm?

I wanted to not care about Andor because I hate Star Wars now, but I'm loving it. Slow start, but it's firing now. One of the things I like the most is that it's the ONLY time we've ever seen what the Empire period was actually like. Coruscant is like late 1930s Berlin, everything's clean, everybody has a job, everybody knows their place, the court system is swift and efficient, and decisions get made to disappear people and cultures and species. Having all the Imperial officers and bureaucrats speak in quasi-RP British accents is both totally Disney and totally Star Wars.

Bonus: no fucking Skywalkers, no fucking Tatooine

I had a feeling you may have been avoiding it considering the last few garbage series. I feel this sentiment exactly, just so glad I started it despite having serious misgivings.

A shame we won't see the final season. After S1,save for a few episodes in S2, there was a dramatic decline in quality. I don't remember anything that happened in S3, and S4 wasn't that much better. Watching Ed Harris I felt like he probably thought the same and wondered why he didn't get out like Anthony Hopkins did after the first season. Would have watched the final season had it been made but only out of habit and not enjoyment. They just wasted all these characters like Maeve "but my daughter!" which got really old after she left the train and walked back into Westworld way back in S1.

Hardly a shock, it meandered along a bit like Heroes did back in the day...and bored everyone to death.

Heroes at least had an excuse - They took off just as the famous writers strike happened.

Westworld S1 is probably my fave self-contained season of any tv show ever. Downhill from there.

Kino, no! I guess we're seeing the losses Andor carriers.

What a fantastic episode tho. A great escape. Mon having to choose between her daughter and the galaxy. Luthen just being awesome.

Andor is getting better and better with each episode. A couple of people I know are waiting for all episodes to air and then they'll watch it all at once and it's frustrating as hell.

"stupidity... is not a right."

It's not so bad when actress Genevieve O'Reilly is smiling-schmoozing Mon Mothma, but when she's pissed-off serious Mon Mothma all I hear is Moira from Overwatch.
