I love the fact that at first Kino absolutely does not want to hear about any hopes of escape, completely shutting Cassian out, and then the combination of finding out no one actually leaves, the facility mercilessly slaughtering an entire floor to keep things quiet, and then the cold-hearted way in which they put Ulaf down leads him to give Cassian any information necessary without hesitation.
@@nogrecords pretty sure you're right. Episodes are built in arch's and it's why it's so hard to stop watching. Basically watching 2-3 movies. 1-3 intro, 4-6 heist, 7 interlude, 8-10 prison break, and 11-12 rebellion on Andor's planet.
It’s crazy how good the writing has been during the 2nd half of the season. It’s so good, they have us believing a Red Light bulb to be hotter than Lava and a white Light bulb to let us know everyone’s safe. It’s that good!
@@callo3 He made a good comparison, Red light stands for Lava, mostly red. being electrocuted and burn both mean death. not touching the ground or touching at all I would advice for both, electric floor and lava. But anyway, it didn’t got me that much, some visuals as sign of the electrical energy going on would’ve been nice !
@@callo3 We know what the lights stand for. But it was a great comparison. You know the game the floor is lava, well its the same principle here, you step-you die. And it really is fascinating how with just the cnage of small lights from white to red they can make us so anxious and clenched. That means the series have mastered stakes and tension, which is a sign of great storytelling.
That just killed me. And then the med tech says that within a week the rest of the prisoners will wish they had such a 'peaceful' end. I think Episode 10 is going to be another tough watch.
Andy Serkis has such a great line to end of the episode, really gave me the feeling that things were about to start ramping up, really excited for the next episode here "Never more than 12"
I think what makes it even better is that it proves he's paying attention too. He doesn't want to think about it, but he's obviously thought about it. It's parallel to Cassian's "get off the fence" moment re: the rebellion.
It was heart breaking to see the state of the Galactic Senate in this episode, especially when compared to how it was during the prequel movies and the Clone Wars series.
I'm really enjoying the world building connectivity too. This in between, on the ground look, of what happened to the Republic after the Imperial takeover makes episodes 1-3 and 4-6 so much better.
One messed up detail I noticed in this one: when the doctor first calls for "a bag and a trolley" the guard responds with, "It's coming!" The guard hadn't moved before that and he doesn't call in to anyone, meaning he ordered the bag and trolley before they even got there. No matter what the doctor diagnosed, the guards intended for poor Ulaf to leave in a body bag.
This show just gets better and better. People who aren’t watching because they heard it was “boring” are really missing out on, imho, the best tv Star Wars we’ve seen.
We need more recognition for Andy Serkis’s non-vocal acting! His visual performance in the Planet of The Apes trilogy was done mostly by his eyes alone, and it’s one of his best performances!
@@1216jimmyz To this day, I still meet people who have no clue who Andy Serkis is. People who’ve watched both LoTR and PoTA trilogies, even. They only recognize him as the magazine boss from “13 Going On 30.”
These episodes honestly get my heart pumping. I feel the intensity for what's going on. I'm waiting for the Emperor to eventually show up because he is always eluded towards. I really really love this Star Wars. The Rebellion is sparking
I love how during the interrogation scene in this parallels the interrogation in A New Hope. From the door closing to the officer walking down the hall
Once Again Another Great Episode and love the tone and feel. This episode is non stop tension and loved it. Andor And Mando are in a league of their own and can't wait for the breakout episode. I think next episode Kino is going to sacifice himself for the other prisoners, Bix is saved by Saw And Luthen, Mon gets exposed and escapes to lead The Rebellion.
Honestly! Can you imagine if the sequel trilogy had this level of story telling. It really highlights how awful EP 7-9 was. Even Rogue One was better than any of those 3 movies and managed to do it in one.
@@MashMalloman Jeez. Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams truly screwed the pooch. One has to wonder if they are even aware of it. My beef was the shitty lore. THe prequels are barely watchable (I and II especially), but at least they had a consistent story line.
Kino giving Cassian the info needed that there's 12 guards made me feel hyped up as hell for an elaborate prison break! "No more than 12." That line alone gives hope to both Kino and Cassian as they really needed it after seeing Ulaf die. Great breakdown as usual.
A few more notes: Imperial Military Intelligence, distinct & sometime competitor of the ISB, is mentioned by Major Partagaz in the meeting. Captain Tigo has been promoted, his three blue squares on his rank badge are now four. But he still takes his cues from Lt. Supervisor Meero, which lends to the idea that the ISB holds more power (at least politically) than their military counterparts, as seen by Admiral Yulareen himself moving to the agency. The door closing cutaway as Bix is being tortured is very reminiscent & pays homage of the same scene from A New Hope. Andor’s team won as seen as them eating with plates. Special Trivia for the host of New Rockstars, Major VOSS was an Imperial Officer who was the senior officer on the bridge at the time of a Rebel attack on Admiral Giel’s armada. Sent from my iSB
This was definitely my favorite episode so far. So much great worldbuilding and acting from everyone involved. They’re really showing the true darkness of the Empire in the eyes of the average person
The torture of Bix. The possible gangsta way that Maarva is gonna die taking with her as many storm troopers as she can and as much as I hate to say it, Kino will sacrifice himself so that Cassian and Melshi can make it out of the prison. I love this series #nevermorethan12
Cyril's jacket when he is stalking Dedra, is called an anorak. They are synonymous with odd little men who stand at the end of platforms and check train arrivals against the timetable. And may have possibly buried their mother in the garden.
It's literally an amazing star wars soap opera. I absolutely love it and only the true star wars fans can keep up with how it moves so fast while moving so slowly
Voss, seriously... best breakdown ever. I loved this episode already, but someone else seeing nearly all of my catches of interesting shit in this episode made me do a happy dance in my living room.
(edited to fix typos) What really gave me chills, as I lay awake last night stewing over this show, is the med tech saying that within a week the rest of the prisoners will be begging to die as peacefully as Olaf, which suggests the Empire is about to start systematically killing off the prisoners to erase the very fact that the prisons are, in the end, death camps. That begs the question of how many times before this they've exterminated the entire population of a facility. Is that what really triggered the PORG order? Meanwhile, I've been spending a scary amount of time forcing myself to laugh over how wound up I get over just thinking about these past few episode. I mean, it's just a show, just fiction, totally made up out of things that could never REALLY happen, right? RIGHT??
@@WTC2014 maybe it’s pumped back up using the electricity it generates. Like it generates electricity then uses some but not all of it to pump it back up which creates an infinite loop of constantly generating UNLIMITED POWER!
@@cowgoesmoo9981 that doesnt work for the conservation of energy rule. The same amount of power generated by the falling water would be required to raise it to the previous level again...there is no 'extra' energy generated
I think that Karn is a shadow of things to come for when Dedra, in her hubris and lack of listening, will have that same inevitable fall from grace in an unforgiving and cruel system.
I hope Davos Sculdan is played by none other than Ser Davos of house Seaworth , Hand to the king of the North , hand to the true king of the seven kingdoms and the fabled onion knight !
The tube that Andor cuts in the bathroom couldn't be an electrical wire as he'd be electricuted he's most likely malfunctioning the plumbing which would cause flooding which could short circuit the whole system of the prison
No one I’ve watched from these Easter eggs videos for this episode talk about Dedra’s assistant. I think he seems to be overstepping his role based on Dedra’s reactions. When he speaks up in the meeting and when he tells her that he’s already sent whatever it was that she tells him to send, Dedra doesn’t seem too impressed even after saying well done. That’s what I picked up from it all anyway
They're either out in the field desperately trying to figure out how to actually do their jobs now they're required to, or they've been sent off to some salt mine.
Omg that would be horrible. Just absolutely horrible. Just busy work and imagine if you get released & transferred to the floor that takes apart what you previously built???
Anyone else notice how prepared Dedra's aid was? I saw that as maybe he's taking a page from her in the earlier episodes and going for her to try and get a promotion. Or I'm looking too much into this this and he was just prepared to have her back 🤷🏾♂️😅
I hope at the end of this series we get to hear Ezra speech from season 1 of Star wars rebels and that's when we see people starting to rise up and fight back!
OMG no pointless cameos! Especially that crappy Rebels series cameos. I don´t want to even think about the characters from Rebels and Andor existing in the same universe.
I was a nerd and used to run role playing games with my friends in school. I loved the Star Wars rpg because it was fun and simple and the setting was so expansive. There were millions of stories to tell. It was fun for a writer. There were no Jedi or tatooine etc. just good solid sci if, like this
That lingering shot of Portegaz as the ISP left the room, in a world where everyone and anyone can be a spy for the other side. I'm starting to think he might be
Syril is an interesting character to me. I can usually pick up on character motivations quickly.(I’ve been able to guess twist villains quiet easily in a few tv shows) but I can’t get a read on what goes on in Syrils head. He seems lost is the only thing I can pick up and he’s desperate for something to anchor to.
He might be a psychopath. He has meaningful connection to another human being (obsession does not count), being convinced that Dedra must share what's in his mind, embracing the 'rightness' of authoritarianism, and the way he totally blanked out when he was totally defeated on Aldani. I too am skilled at reading people, but while dealing with a truly scary person a long time ago I learned the hard way that a normal person with even a hint of empathy is incapable of understanding the mind of a psychopath. Even if not technically a psychopath, the complete lack of empathy he's been surrounded by his whole life sets him up for a seriously disordered mind.
His anchor is justice. He's a true believer and was upset with his security corp for not fully pursuing justice, and he's continued to try pursuing justice for Andor without power to act. Being interviewed gave him hope that someone is still trying to pursue Andor, and he wants to help.
Dedra’s assistant “Heert” was giving off some major Tarkin vibes. I’m assuming timeline wise there couldn’t really be a correlation but I couldn’t help but notice it.
The supporting cast has been impressive. Like Andy Serkis as Kino as the prisoner in charge of the unit (11:00). Hopefully they don't kill off his character as they did with most of the robbery cast.
There's 2 shifts per room though, each with a supervisor. So it's 100 per room, making 4900 the correct maths, reduced to 4800 after those who got fried are taken off.
I think the parts they are making are for tie fighters. There are 6 arms on their finished parts. These look similar to where the solar array wing attaches to the pylon arm. There are 6 wing braces on a tie and there are six extensions on the parts they are making.
What I don't get is if prisoners were recycled to different levels, would they not just tell the other inmates? "Hey guys, I used to work on level 4, then I was released, only to end up with you on level 2." I think the "mistake" that the Dr said they made was they didn't terminate the prisoner but instead accidentally had him reintroduced to another level, where he told everyone, and then they had to off the entire floor to cover it up.
Initially I thought Syril might go Rebel but I'm thinking the last shot of the series will be Syril arriving at the prison and getting the welcome shock.
i absolutely love the end of the episode, Kino answering Cassian without hesitation speaks volumes
That time, he was waiting for the question and Casian knew he was going to get an answer that time
so much yes! the way he delivered that line gave me chills.
It was inspiring and chilling at the same time.
. ?
Totally cool ending.
Love that
"You're in my net now, Bix" The torture scene is one of the darkest scenes in Star Wars and I absolutely love it.
It reminded me of the opening of Inglorious Bastards.
Yes and its good that dark doesn't mean gory (probably not going to see much gore in Disney properties) or straight up cartoonish
What about the droid attack on the wookies...?
I love the fact that at first Kino absolutely does not want to hear about any hopes of escape, completely shutting Cassian out, and then the combination of finding out no one actually leaves, the facility mercilessly slaughtering an entire floor to keep things quiet, and then the cold-hearted way in which they put Ulaf down leads him to give Cassian any information necessary without hesitation.

This is the most gritty dark and guttural episode in SW ever, and I LOVE IT!! gods is so gut punching.
Definitely Rewatching Rogue One after the last episode of Andor. I Have a feeling its going to hit different
What if another level is disassembling the parts in the prison?
Why would they?
that would be WILD. i kind of want that to happen now

My first thought initially. Or the night shift does the disassembling just to keep them all working.
@@DS9TREK it's not unheard of to assign prison laborers pointless, time consuming, tiring, tasks just to keep the suppressed.
They're so gonna have a game of "The Floor is Lava" in the next episode
That's my take. The guards think the system is foolproof, but there may be a glaring weakness that only Andor realises?
Thanks for doing the prisoner math, yes, I like those odds!
I'm ready for Andor to break out "Alcatraz to the 10th power" 💯💯💯💯💯

This series is such an emotional roller-coaster.
The dining table that Syril karn sits at is shaped very similar to the prison cells that Andor is in. Syril is in his own kind of prison.

It all ties together
"Il y a combien de gardes par niveau ?

Boom.
Another Harry Potter cast member (Goyle) played one of the guards last episode
Really? Didn't spot that.
This series is proper.
10:14 They switch off their lights and you can see them walk away too

Syril Karn turning up the sexual tension was my favorite part
Really is the most poetic and beautiful Star Wars property ever
7 people per table, 7 tables per room with 1 supervisor (50), 7 rooms per level (350), 7 levels (2450).
There's 2 shifts per room though, each with a supervisor. So it's 100 per room, making 4900 the correct maths, reduced to 4800 after those who got fried are taken off.
I think the parts they are making are for tie fighters. There are 6 arms on their finished parts. These look similar to where the solar array wing attaches to the pylon arm. There are 6 wing braces on a tie and there are six extensions on the parts they are making.
The Prison Break episode is going to be SO good.
Series is so good
Cassian never folds his hands completely behind his head like the other prisoners do… it’s his symbolic rebellion
The 🎬 acting in Andor is intense!
When the cop says, I have ways of knowing, I thought of Light with the mechanical pencil lead in the door hinges.
OG day Voss from the old days 😊
What I don't get is if prisoners were recycled to different levels, would they not just tell the other inmates? "Hey guys, I used to work on level 4, then I was released, only to end up with you on level 2." I think the "mistake" that the Dr said they made was they didn't terminate the prisoner but instead accidentally had him reintroduced to another level, where he told everyone, and then they had to off the entire floor to cover it up.
That or they were transfered to other prisons, where they maybe were working isolated, giving them no chance to tell others where they came from
Yeah transferred to somewhere even worse where nobody cared
Initially I thought Syril might go Rebel but I'm thinking the last shot of the series will be Syril arriving at the prison and getting the welcome shock.
