The Bellians built on hope. And welcome to another episode of Radio Rebellion A Star Wars podcast. I am your host, Alva Kaledon. With no audio today, but that's fine.
I'm very good friend, co-host of the Sifting Minute Podcast. This is Andreas Alvarez. Andreas, how are you doing today on this Star Wars Saturday as we like to call them? I'm doing great.
How are you? I'm doing well also. We're talking a little bit before we start it. All looking forward to the weekend.
It's been busy weeks all around, work, extracurricular activities and all that. But man, Andrew, I'm just keeping us during the week. It's that little jolt that we need during the week, right? Yes, absolutely.
I'm actually really... We'll definitely get into it when we get into the show. But I find myself accidentally seeing the latest episodes of like three to five times a week. I just keep coming back to it.
Yeah, I think... For Star Wars shows for some reason, after that season, it's over. I don't go back and re-watch them for some reason. I think this is the first one.
But if I say, well, I'm going to re-watch the whole thing. I just want an episode here and there. I think I'm going to do the whole season all over because this has just been on point since the beginning. Absolutely.
All right, that's... Before we start, as always, let me check with our first episode. Let me check with our friend Mo. What's up, Mo?
She was here last week, so I guess, three inside us always. So it's great to see you in the chat. All right, guys. You know what's next.

Just a few other things. If you're watching, again, as always, make sure to help out the media. The media's initiative, quality text, it's very important. Meters are coming up in two weeks.
Everywhere around the country here in Florida also very important. Natural Network of abortion funds and the What-Choice Fundracer. And of course, you can help out in Puerto Rico. There's a bunch of links somewhere down there.
And at the description of this video, you can find links to all those websites and fundraisers. Spread the voice, sign up to vote, sign up with other people and make sure you vote, because that's how change happens. And it's very important right now. and the andor files.
I'm like computer is not working. Here we go. And the andor files. I'm in these fights since I was six years old.
Has he has he has he has he has he finally. Yeah, no, I'll make sure to ask during every episode has he because he wasn't six when Marita took him. It doesn't matter. Marita, Mira, I forget there's too many names right now.
But you know, I am curious if like maybe he considers because there's been a lot of good conversation online as far as like the Republic already being like your same, you know, same flavor of ice cream just a different label on it. Yeah. So I wonder if that'll be like a later reveal of like him coming maybe across a file while he's doing his work and realizing like that's what they were mining or that's what destroyed. Canari was in the best shape when we saw at the beginning of the season like they've already been mining there.
So maybe he's talking about even before he was in the fight like the Republic the Empire whatever it was at that point was already there and he had to fight at that point. So maybe maybe it's right and we're all wrong. But Andres as I guess, when I come here first for a new show just give me overall have you been your feelings for the season so far of Andor and then your overall thoughts on episode seven before we move into more specifics of the episode. Yeah for sure.
So Andor has basically been just one of my dreams come true as far as what I want to see from Star Wars like you know, sit these Star Wars in politics and all the films and shows that we've gotten before kind of make references to it like it's there. There's our political elements but Andor is really that first show and you know with Mon Mafma and Luthin in the mix like that is really taking the time to talk about hey how do you fund a rebellion? What does rebellion actually mean? Like it's protesting as a part of it but like there is also a point where you know you have to steal payroll information where the spies are you you know you need to poke around and it's it's been really nice to see that and like to see each episode where they're leaning more and more into it has really gotten me excited because I was also afraid that like they would put Mon Mafma maybe in like one or two arcs and be like okay yeah politics are happening and then go back to like look at Andor blow and stuff up so it's nice that they're doing both.
For the latest episode I argued in in my review like you could have probably taken the first two arcs and made them into a crawl. I'm not saying that that's the best move I'm just saying if you just showed me episode seven as the beginning and it's like the crawl tells me that the al Donnie heist happened and then you just pan down and start showing everyone kind of reacting to it that would have easily fit like I would have believed it if that was a movie or something. So I love it to me it feels like the core of Star Wars and just like what all these characters we already know where they're gonna end like Mon Mafma will one day become a rebel general but like I loved seeing her feathers get ruffled and thinking that she was just you know hey I thought we were just gonna make Black Lives Matter stickers and like Luthin's like no no that was that was part of it but like that was definitely not the opening move that we were hoping for. Yeah I agree.
I even though I love the first six episodes by the end of episode six so coming into it was kind of wary that these three episodes arc kind of this format was kind of might get old and we'll see with the final five episodes because it's okay especially the second arc the aldani arc that the first two episodes are a lot of set up and I don't mind it because the writing was great the conversations everything worked but you're like okay let's get to the finale of that arc it's a little bit more action but still it moves the story forward with all the characters and we'll have kind of parallel and you hope kind of this height happened I know these are the consequences but I enjoyed and I tend to fight we also within the way that they've gone especially that first three episodes I said here if this was them and the lawyer or something like that those three episodes they would have done it in a 30 minute episode like this is a new character he goes to a planet to me people for a height and here it is so but we got three episodes to kind of know all the characters and all the setting but by the time we get to episode seven we kind of know what's going on and I agree with you they want to say yeah I'm not my you saw in the trailer that's everything again it's like really no that's not what the show should be about we talked here before and when the show was an ounce I said what I want to see is the empire in the empire the normal people working in it because it's their nine to five job and we're still in that special with zero corn and the way he is now so it's in both sides it's not just the rebel side but also the imperial side and yeah once you steal some money that's what that's when they get angry because they've been losing all these artifacts but as soon as you take their their credits like whoa whoa whoa we got a close-net fist but and rest as we I'm gonna be jumping a little bit we're gonna go to the end and that's not with the ending because that's where a lot of people and again you mentioned your show so I'm sure you're spent a lot of time on it but we get and or and again if you're watching this you've watched the episode so the heights happen the empire cannot say okay we're done playing we're gonna show our force but for andro is like I just told some credits I'm just gonna retire go to these paradise like you said and one of your tweets that a lot of us know these beach paradise that you think you can just escape but the police presence doesn't let you but he thinks he's got three I got my money I found a new girl somewhere we're partying I'm just gonna go to the store and as soon as something happens they see someone that kind of looks like he shouldn't be there what are you doing here I'm just gonna read real quick what the that's true pet awesome oh you're sweaty are you part of it why are you running two-ish don't run and then calm down sir and that's the one we've heard a lot from people on the confront the police oh come down I'm just talking oh come down calm down and everything goes up the rail what was that seemed like for you not just personally but also seen something in Star Wars that relates so much to real life yeah it uh it definitely made me like perk up you know what's interesting is with episode seven it's it's the beginning of another arc and presumably this is like a prison arc because I think he's going um but I did not expect to be like standing up like in my seat so much at the end because yeah you go you go to the the end of the first episode in the aldani raid and you're like okay I get what's happening but like show me the next episode or I call wait um so from a show perspective it was very much like okay they're gonna go there like this is definitely a political show and it just happens to be themed with Star Wars characters and blasters um as someone who also does like a little bit of like protest photography and working different nonprofits like it was also so fascinating how real and believable that exchange was even though it was happening in space right like you don't have to change too much to make it believable for like a space show um yeah and you know I like during the 2020 protest like for folks who don't know I'm a first-generation immigrant so I'm naturalized all that fun stuff but like the Trump administration would challenge people's naturalization papers so there was more than one occasion where I had been at an action or around different groups and knowing that police were coming put me in a spot where like I would tell my partner like hey we we have to go like she was born in Chicago and has her birth certificate and all that fun stuff so I was like you're fine but like if someone decides to do what that judge did in the end of end of episode seven um you know I mean she says take it up with the emperor right like it could have been a clerical error but like you're gonna have to go through the court system like everyone else if you want to um so yeah that was very much a moment of like okay like immigrants are writing the show like Diego Luna isn't just an executive producer to have his name on there like there are conversations that are being had about how do we let people know that like empire is this sinister thing that most people don't feel until it's right up on you right like yeah Andor really thought that like he's just back to like he found his new bicks he found his new pharynx but that's just where he's gonna hang out and you know now that insidious empire that he's like I'm not really fighting but I'm not really proud of them either um has literally thrown him into a cage for thinking that he could just you know dance through that middle line yeah you heard that in that theme music going into Niamos I thought he's got three and just gonna have some part of some copacavana music everything's fine but you know there was some probe droids flying people weren't happy uh Amy that's what being here Amy Garero friend yeah and like honestly the last time he heard that song he killed some corpus and got in trouble so like personally if I heard that song I'd be like uh I'd go somewhere else like why not off I know he's spanish but like because I've just been hanging out on off yeah some cool coats I'm sure they can keep him warm yeah yeah we've seen Rogue One I know he's doing those coats yeah with the fur um it's I mean it's not funny but I was and I don't know the show yesterday for that geeky waffle and uh space waffles we'll come at some point later and it's how real the show is in terms of showing what's happening real life from the past from right now some of the hosts from that show are from Iran and know what's going on now with the Iranian people and all the protests there another one of the hosts is South Asian with her parents her grandparents having to immigrate because of things happening down there so South East Show has impacted a lot of us as his parents I know you see me for the first time I'm just a regular white guy but I'm from Puerto Rico and as soon as I open my mouth people start asking how you Italian and you're from Arby Nes not menacingly but hey do you need a green no we're natural American citizens as we're going even if we want to know so but I haven't thankfully been to that extreme that cash and went but it's always there so as you open your mouth I might look like this but as soon as I open my mouth people are gonna okay where where where where is this guy's wrong we see he's supposed to be here and sometimes the eyes start kind of looking down with the corner of the eyes so it's how they showing us in pet a lot of us a lot of people from different reasons or the rebellion or the police brutality we've seen it or no people have been through it but it's no not have been like it's just hammering over it like come on it's not sincere it's like they know what they're doing like they're doing like they're doing one of the producers and other people it's they know what they're doing to show this yes it's Star Wars but it also impacts your life and I think they've been doing a great job yeah I think like that's that's the one thing that I love talking to Star Wars fans about of the the more you try to overlay those lessons like the the original trilogy is referred to in universe as a galactic civil war military property that's blown up like people who just got recruited and went into the empire because they have dental or you know whatever benefit you want to give them like they will all go to war and like that is because things like this are happening and you know maybe maybe there's a great transition to the ISB but like Deidre sees it like the empire is really full of itself and like we're totally prepared for this moment and Deidre and that whole scene and even as her like attendant and stuff is asking like oh you don't look happy she's just like this is what they want right because before the rebellion propaganda could have been seen as just propaganda like oh yeah you say they're bad but like pharix has never been happier or whatever and like now that that table is going to start getting flipped and the rebellion can now legitimately point and be like hey half of your friends have been in jail for 10 years because they were jaywalking near something that was deemed anti-imperial and then just got slapped with a six to ten year fine or like a sentence and yeah it's it's becoming really brutal but that is what it's going to take and you know if you read the books and stuff there's constantly mentions like if you've seen rebels there's constantly arcs where they're breaking into imperial prisons and like and doors just laying that groundwork of like there's a reason the rebels are always going into prisons because a lot of people got imprisoned right on that area for no one's taking they take political prisoners in rebels i think they do go over nor something from one of the planet so it's there yeah it's animation sake it's show it's got cool lights every fight but it's there here it's right in front but yeah let's go right to that is because that's where it all starts it's okay we've left some other things passed we lost eight in medium credits they hit us where it hurts attacked us directly it's not that they stole one thing from wherever so we had that great scene okay you laren comes in we'll talk about him i mean i missed it come be a fake fan that's fine i was interested in didra deciding which of the two similar quotes he was going to get but that's why i said that didra is my favorite character of them he wants even though she's one of the bad guys because she's real and she's like you know the series she knows she's the only one in the know that doesn't take this like this like no they have a plan this is how we'll do it take a little bit from here a little bit from there and when her assistant oh you're not happy no this is what they wanted it wasn't just a robbery was an announcement oh we're here but everyone's oh no they took our credits we're gonna close our face our presence gonna be everywhere triple the sentence of everyone that's what the rebels want because now they can point to us as being the real bad guys that's what they want i love that she's the only one that gets it because it shows her thinking as a rebel no so not as an imperial and then i also love her the actual she's great and the guy that plays blevin the other guy yeah i love i love that scene because if you've worked in a job environment with different managers or whatever you have those type of meetings that someone wants to bring something in oh this is in the place to talk about let's talk about it in private and oh you think this is the right venue to express your grievance against a fellow whatever super vice oh oh yes she's always stepping on that she throws her in his face oh i love when party guys then i was oh didra do you mind having your whatever your integrity ventilated i'm public i love that scene all the isb scenes are great but i love that and then she gets what she won at the end which is kind of overview of the more lana sector but then he goes hey great job but watch your back we might all be working together but he's coming for your work are you enjoying those things because we're getting to see you know just political side in the senate but how the empire works there in a work is where the isb you don't have to read the power things and the toy things it's the real job that's happened i love those yeah yeah i have been really enjoying those scenes i think for me in episode seven seeing that kind of like office politics play out um was just really really fascinating um specifically because like blevin is so by the book right and he's kind of worked his way up there he's got his sectors and whatever but didra is exactly who the isb needs and you know again we're talking about villains um so yeah that that means something that she's exactly who the isb needs um but she makes a lot of great points and again it speaks to like it bleeds over and it's like are we talking about star wars or is this real life because you know she challenges all the supervisors of do you really think the rebels care about the lines that we draw on maps right like oh yeah they're not attacking bases because like oh we hate supervisor blevin so we're gonna go ahead and make his life a mess like no they if anything they probably know that you've structured yourselves based on these sectors and didra is the only one who's figured it out of like they're taking a little bit from each spot so none of you think it's a big deal because it's one star path it's one like crate of pro tantor petos or whatever but you turn around and suddenly they have enough to like take care of a whole argument right and it really just kind of shows up the empire's not ready the empire does not know or like see it coming um but didra is super aware and she's seeing those uh those kind of deficiencies right like even when everyone else like the empire's so much about hierarchy and respect that even when she makes the suggestion that they shouldn't be thinking about the sectors as like individual things that all kind of like put a gas and they're just like oh but uh kurta progress made that and she's just like yeah as as an organizing principal yes not your little personal portfolio or whatever you think that says yeah i love that scene because it cannot he thought believe it oh i'm just gonna say partic acid road he saw boss you can say that boss was run the rebels don't care like you said aligns on a map who cares we're gonna jump right through them and get what we want and just kind of spread it which is the same thing like you said you're sticking a little bit from everywhere and then at the end when you bring that together kind of form something in rebels they did the same thing they stole some fuel from here they stole a ship from here and whatever when you start bringing all that together oh actually meant something yes she's the only one that notices and that's why i love you so much but then moving forward i'm guessing for the next few episodes now that she has the more lana sector and ferris should start looking more for the nspath know that zero crown was involved with the bringing simon to the fall gets him out from his new cubicle another two of them together gonna create chaos going after cation yeah i can't wait zero is the hype man that de-drone needs like she has her isbss to end who like you know follows yeah yeah takes notes like is willing to support her whatever but i would love for her to meet zero and zero be like oh an opportunity to go catch these guys and just exit around i'm sure that doesn't happen it's gonna be great oh man i can't wait it works great for both us like you said he made she needs someone to kind of push in the right direction where everything was going and give her focal point and or this is the guy we need to go behind and for zero it's just finding someone to yes i can attach my anchor to this person she'll take me out from here and i'll be able to expose my record because i'm so angry stay killed two of my co-workers and the other just sit on your cubicle and find out the currency or fuel purity or whatever was the bureau of standards that sounds so bad but that that cubicle i said that's a cool setup i don't know it's really nice and judging by you know haven't been able to see the cubicle of clothes but that being said i feel like when i first thought i was like oh that's definitely one of those ergonomic like sporty boards too yeah i was like that must be a very comfortable place to spend eight to nine hours or so yeah probably more they won't let you go out when they pull back just feel with kiwiko's no windows anywhere probably tell you have 30 minute lunch and you gotta eat at your desk yeah that's probably a joint that brings it to so you can't even make a conversation yeah just like here's your sandwich and like it just moves on yeah and you don't even get to choose to choose this every day they'll bring you something you gotta eat it yeah all right this guy race it's got about pot tatix here probably roe how you doing roe thanks for joining us let us know in the comments your thoughts on episode seven oh he's been enjoying it but we talked a little bit about Andor and how he thought that just getting 30 000 credits that was his card i believe was gonna save everything and back on ferris and paying my depth i'm taking my mom out of here i'm gonna go to big south see what happened with that Tracy broy boyfriend that tried to kill me and everyone's like what are you doing here you don't know what you brought the empire's here they're not they're taking things seriously and he's like ah don't worry we'll just go out and do it everyone might turn right now because we're all suffering he's like it was just a robbery so they do enjoy that scene with him and me right with his mom kind of hey let's go and she's like i can't what happened on al denti kind of boost me up i finally have the courage i can to walk down the street when my husband was hanged and doesn't understand at all let's get out of here i don't know if they can fight and be courageous i can stand here and i'm like okay this is it this is gonna turn and turn into the rebel and no it's still like i don't get it i'm leaving like dude let's come on that rousing speech yeah yeah i love it's especially love the acting because you know no one knows where andor went on ferris they just know that the corpus came and like he just high-tales it out of there so the acting in that scene is incredible because marva is telling and or right like have you heard about the old audience he's so inspiring the rebels did it and you know like she doesn't know what it caused for that high to succeed and the empire doesn't know because even the news reports are like we're still finding we need information we need to know who was behind it but like as the audience we know only three people even made it out so it's this very like they barely made it out and the empire thinks that they're hunting down a well-regulated militia or something yeah um so yeah so it's like marva's inspired her acting is very much like i'm ready let's go if they can do it i can do it and you can see india galuna and andor's eyes like what it took and he's like okay that's great that you thought it was all that but like we literally barely made it out alive so like this isn't the victory you think it is this isn't the war you think it is um and you know as a typical like spanish son he couldn't tell marva that yes but i'm not gonna tell you why i don't believe that i just let you know that i don't believe that and then just decides to move on so it's very like it is very interesting because it just reminds me a lot of how media covers these victories or these movements and then what it actually feels like to to go through them um because yeah it's not easy work but you know if you read the history books like rosa park refused to get up and then like a quality happened like kumba and holding hands and we're all happy yeah everyone saw the air of their ways and was like no no we need to we need better laws but next birthday came around everything was fine that's right that's right so yeah it was it was very interesting to see how that plays out and especially for like for someone like marva to still be inspired because i want to know more of that flashback like what was she doing with klem back when they were running around because she knows about hard lives she knows about hard choices and something about the aldonnie heist still made her ready to get either back into that life because you know she's always had her guns and stuff yeah it was just very very well done acting yeah it was great from both sides and you say we don't know too much about her past marva and klem we see them they saw a red ship basically went into grab something the separatists were coming or the republic at that point they grab and or i tell it and then we know that clangotch are trying to stop people from throwing rocks at clone troopers we don't know how involved they're being in this rebellion or whatever it seems like they're very into it but like you said it's for andor it was a robbery only three of us made it out i almost died because i got betrayed by this guy after we made it out freaking skin type of kill me because he didn't care he's fighting his own rebellion against me i guess everyone else i don't want to keep going through this i get my cut just get out of here but then i love her when he's kind of saying oh but what's what's here what's what's keeping you here oh they're rebellion and for him come on you can't fight them and she said i can't do that if i don't stand up or something like that it's like oh she's ready to go but then we'll learn more about that flashback i'm gonna guess all 10 years ago or something the empire is there on ferris as we're real close after or the 66 because they're still clone troopers or at least the arm or the one stone troopers on ferris clangotch are hey stay here i gotta stop this and unfortunately run place run time we've seen that before about rock goes fly through the air and then four clone troopers turn around and then shoot him hang him and i don't know how many more people really severe to see that and also kind of shows why i'm doing my not be ready to join the fight at this point i see knows what happens right my dad got hung just because he wasn't there what is gonna happen when they figure out that i was one of the three that robbed him so i even though i just said hey how did he mark a speech trying to propel you to join the rebellion or just to stand up on the other side okay i kind of understand you see what happens when people stand up and you're kind of in the middle of it so i understand what he just said i did my part i got lucky i just want to go and party and then we know what happens over there unfortunately so let's finish up with um for the no uh what's in a multiple planet nyamos and they will keep going because he's there we get the a bunch of aliens i've been coming from an alien scene and or we got them and i love that that scene i don't know how many millions had to go into because there is aliens everywhere uh said that they constructed outside in this european country for like a minute and a half scene because it's not that long but they went through all that trouble flew all the crew overseas came over with all these alien designs just for five minutes i mean two minutes but i love everything about it and then we get the kx which is not just going in the k2 droids right we love a two but this is this wasn't him and it goes again this he has this shoy trooper while you're doing here you're sweating too much to be a tourist i just want to go to the stores right there i don't care hang him or hang around and he just chokes him yeah which great use of the flashbacks like you know very very restrained very good story writing of like they show us clem hanging and then that gives you like so much more context when and or like there starts being fear in his voice right towards the end where he's like trying to get the stormtroopers attentions like tell him you meant just like watch around yeah watch not hang and yeah it's like he must be when i re-watched that episode i was like oh this is like he is reliving that moment and he's like i wasn't even trying to be a rebel and kind of face the same fate just like my dad did yeah i have it here cassian same as empire hank honk is dead same thing and then on the show that was yesterday uh nor how her friend that was here a few weeks ago she said great i wonder first time we see this k2 droids grabs cassian by the neck and then in rok one the first time we see k2 is when he grabs cassian i mean jennias over the neck and then just slams to the floor to say hey you're being rescued they just love going for next they know it's one of our which is a soft spot yeah um do you like i'm sure but because as soon as we get that scene with the isb annular and i'm just giving your thought on him showing up when they start saying we're gonna tighten our face we're gonna make our faces known as soon as that scene ends is when we have a fairly name of luthan's kind of assistant at the shop that she gets to the terminal looking for vow that's the first time we see stone troopers like we're here then when it cuts back to aldani that's what we get this story here it's now the planet and then of course the short troopers on nemos the empire didn't wait as soon as they said okay we're done playing we're gonna be out there boom they're there and they're making their presence known as if there is a lot of um protest as we know we know that today's after protest the police is gonna show up in force everywhere and of course by midnight things escalate but you enjoy how quickly the empire is starting to feel kind of put themselves out there so people kind of remember that there is the one in charge and that you get psyched when you saw you laren did you know he was you laren there i had no idea so yeah we're on the same page like every time i see the isb you know like which also by the way reminds me of the death star two opening that all time flies in yeah um so yeah every time i see that building i'm just like okay this is dee drow this is blood in the funeral pedagrass like yolaren is there for you know for fans and it's also there to remind folks that like there is another structure and there are other people doing other things but i did not catch that it was him until i started seeing the tweets of yeah this person and this anime character had the exact same handlebar mustache okay i get it um but yeah for me like the the way that they quickly move in um i love that scene and i love how they really spell it out like we know the sentencing thing will come into play at the end of that episode so you you know you get to see it come into fruition but um the tax part for me is what really made me raise an eyebrow because the the charges any sector that is known for harboring partisan activity will now be levied like have a tax levied against them that is equal to five times the amount stolen we know that they stole 80 million credits so we're talking about like 400 million dollars credits worth of money that is going to be vacuumed out per sector and you know the way that the empire tells you your harboring activity is if you like if the bad batch did something somewhere in the galaxy the empire is going to turn around and be like oh it's because you're harboring them and that may or may not be the case but like they don't get a choice and now they're going to be financially under the heel of the empire yeah even when that same scene says and if you're throwing a not a party where there's a celebration or something that the rebels use as a way to get together do something that counts and that's what happened to cast and some people were running all your part of this so this is the way six months it's six years now he got like three different charges i can't remember the other two and then almost you're like hey don't fight with the courts because you'll get another one then just bring it out with that with the with top a thing we see see they know he was arrested well mexican yes space executive uh moe is adding they blame everything on the partisans without thinking they could be other rebel groups forming yes that's why you need more didras like you said because even Antor made the point when he was being recruited by lutheran of when lutheran's like oh you think you know me and he's like yeah whatever your partisan your rebellion like i don't care i don't care i don't know um but lutheran is like i'm not really any of those um so yeah there's other squads forming the empires just like you know again parallel to the real world right they're just the first scapegoat um so for the empire's the partisans in the real world you know you pick your issue but we could flip through uh you know frankly different fox news channels and find like okay it's this group today in that group tomorrow and it's this other group but like they are they're so eager like those i's b scenes in episode seven is you can tell the eagerness of like they've been waiting for this moment they've outlined their scapegoats and now finally things got so bad that they can see like that they can finally say oh look the partisans say they're here to help you but all they did was use your celestial event to you know kill and loot and steal and then that's the rationale to then use the boot yeah and if they catch one just see we are all taken care of he's a scapegoat we caught him the empire makes you feel safe um so let's jump from there to to lutheran because he had two great scenes first he's talking like you're not gonna forget the name of his assistant but it's like yeah clear clear clear and i'm sure mo mo put it on the chat soon clear clear clear it's kind of and i think he talked about on the previous episode others i wasn't careful because andor kind of knows a little bit about me and we say we get clear kind of going to to vell basically saying we're gonna take him out we can have cassia i mean lutheran and she's like oh what about um forgot the name of her friend san klei sinta thank you and yes mo thank you klei and she's she was doing her part sending communications is just about as receiving them we have a loose thread cassia andor who you know as clam can have been going around you'll take care of him oh you mean kill him well well yeah do what we gotta do which i like oh crap this is gonna get serious now when i saw it i thought that it was lutheran telling klei hey when you see vell tell her tell her she has to take care of cassian but then i again on space what for several i maybe klei has her own intentions and this is not part of lutheran's plan maybe she just displaying a different game do you think that's did you see that way or do you think that lutheran is just okay i can have cassian out there because he knows he knows me he knows what's going on we gotta yeah yeah absolutely i think um the way that i've been uh the framework that i've been using as i go through andor is really this show is about showing us all of the little mistakes that both andor and the rebellion are going to clean up by the time you get to rogue one because like yeah to get to that rogue one andor who like knows how to break into prisons knows operational security like knows all these little odds and ends like each episode kind of shows me those mistakes like lutheran in the beginning is telling andor like you should have a calm like don't have any care control like and it really feels like for me klei represents that part of the rebellion where um they just blew up edu right like okay we're not getting communication from andor anymore we don't need this like let's just go ahead and blow up the facility and call it a day um klei is kind of operating from that perspective of hey this network is about destroying things and not being able to put the pieces together and or could potentially put pieces together therefore he must be eliminated um so yeah i could see it either way but i think it's i would be interested in it and i think it could be more compelling if like klei represents that kind of knee jerk reaction in the rebellion we see in rogue one um because yeah because the rebels pass rogue one they don't do that right if their friends get captured the next mission is saving their friend it's not lu's end find someone in the prison who's like a gj type character and has no qualms with killing them and all the day yeah scariff podcast is adding the clays seems to be that head honcho maybe lu's things they properly feel you might might be but this i'm hearing this more and more that they might not be at the same page or maybe they're set different type of relationship i might be right they also say when we're talking about the isb that this will be the first step of dissolving the senate permanently as we send the arena film when talking announce it and yes it's going that way because i will jump into the party in a minute when mon mott maa and toy type comar talking and he kind of says you might not be too happy with my politics and there's all these senators that kind of feel the same way that's when the empire might okay we gotta dissolve this and because too many people out there are dissenting i guess but with before we get that we we get this scene with mon mott maa and lu's and she goes back take the the thing freaking terrible the painting yeah uh pretty liked it i don't think he loved it and then oh was this you that you do i don't know what you're talking about and then he goes you know what we were doing you know what it cost you weren't bringing the money that we needed this is the cost of it and she's like taking a bag like oh i didn't know that we're gonna go that far or that we were ready to start which of course as we go on and we meet soge reira and we bring rebels again well everyone uses a tweet about you know you lost fighting by the rules or whatever and we see a little bit of that because it's like she wants to do something but she doesn't want to go i guess hit them directly i don't know what her place but i didn't expect that on the show bring a new character like lu's gonna be so important to the rebellion and so kind of ahead because he kind of puts mom mothman here plays a little bit in that scene but i love also when she says oh this is gonna get people hurt and he's like that's the point and first i like to get all the way from all you can't say that but no that's the point because when the imparts are serving people that's what you can again hit them look what they're doing that this is what we need to reveal but she's not at that point but i love that that we're starting to get them by the time we get to soge reira and his more extreme methods we kind of understand why yeah i i love that scene like yeah not only for like luthin just putting mom mothman her place and being uh the line while he's holding the cultural list yes has anyone ever made a weapon that was never used yeah and it's you know again and or like hats off to the writers hats off to the producers like but that's another one of those lines where it's like uh star wars are real worlds um but the acting for mom mothma is great because like folks have to remember going through this series she's an imperial senator and imperial property is getting damaged like yes she's not a fan of the empire but she is also coming from the perspective of she operates on behalf of this government she she tries to play within that that rules and she like i think you've done inside like she knows that ultimately she will have to cross that line and i just don't think she was ready for it yeah like same thing as we've been watching her marriage slowly most likely crumble because i don't i don't see paren in a return to the jedi so she's sending to all the ron just i heard something's happening all the ron just go face it for a few days yeah send bail my regard oh well people are gonna suffer yeah but yeah i don't think we're seeing it crumble in slow time i think that's happening pretty quickly but i love that um yeah that same was amazing mom mothma's voice was shaking like because i can't she's trying on her side i'm trying to move money is difficult now because they're watching me at the banks i'm gonna bring someone in to do this i hit him way he's like eh you weren't working i'm gonna take money my own way like you said she wasn't ready for that because she was still trying to play by the rules move money around with without people knowing and they just hit like i said i an imperial site which then goes when we finally get to this party we find out a person she wants to bring in this other senator a friend of her uh tycoma and how can i confine in you is this person or political political he's like oh let me stop here right there uh if my final politics are a bit too strong for your taste and then she goes well actually you've liberated me because when i'm gonna tell you only three people know and then she doesn't say but kind of wants him to move some money around for this fixed charity that she's gonna make which is also something that happens a lot in real life i'm gonna have a charity and i'm just moving money around without people knowing and usually it's for a bad cause but i love that whole scene i love this new character of tycoma that yeah he's a senator it seems to be kind of leaning into that rebellion but we don't know too much about him what were your takes on this scene and then i want to ask you who do you think those three people are that she's talking about because i heard different things i have my own personal view of it did you enjoy that party scene i was like oh smile smile we gotta keep up appearances well i tell you that we're gonna take down the empire but keep smiling yeah i i love the scene it's very i believe tony kelroy did house of cards um and yeah it was very reminiscent of like his wheelhouse um and the type of scenes that he's really good at crafting um like the the other thing is when you watch it again every time on moths looking over her shoulder um paren is in a different part of the party and he's talking to someone differently but he's always taking like a second or two answers uh-huh and like and just see where she is who she's talking to so it's it's very much like it's well done it's good writing um it also it really reminded me of like 2016 to 2020 america where folks are like hey like how do you feel about this and it's like hmm hang on like before i keep talking uh let me let me just tell you my politics yeah um but yeah as far as the three people um i think it's bale and luthin feel like too i have no clue who person three might be or is like yeah i don't know i'm like trying to scratch my hands like it's probably some obscure character but i took it very literal that she said only three people know and i thought she was counting herself so i thought it was her uh luthin and then clay yeah because i think clay i know what's going on so i took it like just those three people didn't go anywhere else but it makes sense that bale has to be here somewhere we know he's involved in this since revenge on the safe so bale has to be one of them and then maybe a third person will be a surprise at some point but i wonder um i scare him i know it's not hodel i know what he's doing and i don't mind hodel especially in layup is a father on luthin it hodel is a great character yeah now i would say maybe layup because like putting putting the fact that um the end of the kenobi series has bale and um i forgot his wife's name uh braya yes uh so bale and braya are like coming together and recognizing that okay layup can lead in other ways um maybe this is like their test because yeah we're a few years out from the battle of yavin at this point so she is old enough she we know she's an imperial senator by the time of a new hope so like maybe she's a junior senator maybe she's running for office at this point and maybe this is one of those tests that bale is putting before her like hey you wanted to lead you've already been to fortress and quisitorious so you've seen the darkest parts of the empire like you know i want you to meet mama or i want you to like get her endorsed minters like i could see something like that being the set up um and then bale kind of like wink nudging mama and saying hey if if you want to take this to the next level this could be a person to bring in because the empire won't be expecting such a new senator to already be in the deep end yeah i i suck at timeline so they're all over the place i was aiming at i think timeline wise layup doesn't get into this until about two two years from this point, which I was going to say in lay, I believe it's in layup in terms of all the runs, she figures out what's going on because one of the missions she goes to a planet, I can't remember why, but it's, I think she goes to Crete and that's why we know she knows that that's a place to go, they need a last Jedi, it's a place that Bea was using for one of his secret missions or whatever, so and that's how she finds out that her parents are kind of involved in this rebellion. But I don't know where that fits on the timeline because it's too many, too many stories to keep straight from. But she's to be there soon enough. I don't know if she's there at the point, at that point, but she's getting there.
What are you? What are you? What are you? What are you persons?
Charge is, do I charge you, right? That's what everyone's saying. Yeah, I would love it for like, you know, he already learned the consequences of not a, of like trusting too much. So like maybe now he's more like, I need to keep a secret.
So then I'll just, so I'll just, so I can all give you a test. Okay, this is your last chance. Don't mess it up. This is your last chance.
And then he goes with with pairing two, all the runs. Take part with your shine. Show me a little play place. I don't know.
It's gonna be my new backhanded compliment of it. Hey, I have a house in Altarong like you should go to. I got this time share and I'm not using this time of the year, maybe should go there for this. Astronomical, astronomical effect.
It was gonna happen soon. It looks like a moon. An extra moon is gonna show up just right there. But that whole policy was great.
And this episode was a different type of tension, right? Episode six was tension because you don't know what's going to happen with the heights and all the characters. And the tension here is what's gonna happen with the fallout of it, right? And we see the empire starting to kind of crack down on everything.
We have this party. Like you said, which I didn't know that I think about it. Of course, that praying was moving. Every time she kind of said, smile, he was talking to the daughter, talking to this day, 15, 20 feet away, like just circling them.
And she says don't trust her. She tells Tycoma don't trust her. So what's gonna happen? It's gonna be interesting to see what happens with them.
And I think like final point for me on the party is it highlights there's a book called Spying in America. It's written by Michael Sullick. He actually used to be the director for the CIA and would teach people clandestine service. So we had actually do spy stuff abroad.
And a point that he brought up in the book is that like spying is incredibly mundane. Like the TV shows, the movies will make it sound like James Bondi and cool gadgets, whatever. But like at the end of the day, spying is this really mundane, boring kind of job with a very high cost for failure. And I appreciated seeing Mon Mothma like she is a spy in that moment.
Like she's telling this man how to behave. She's trying to like keep up a persona. And she's struggling with it. Like she thought it'd be easy to move money around turns out it's not she thought it'd be easy to trust people turns out it's not.
And I just love that we're seeing these kinds of scenes and like, you know, Mon Mothma started that day being nervous about blowing up Imperial stuff. And she ended that day, you know, kind of leaning into it and like, okay, well, you're into doing more than just giving speeches against the Empire. So maybe I can do this. But yeah, but still really kind of strong because she's telling Taita's smile, but she's not like doing that great of a job as well.
Like as they're having those conversations and she's being like standoffish and this and that. So, you know, it's she's figuring it out as she goes. And it's very reminiscent of like that spy craft. Yeah, you know, who didn't get a good lesson on spying?
Anakin. It's a callback to our class. Yeah, I call back to our revenge of the Sith. Watch along where I can go called out on his first spy mission.
I just find on me. Oh, no, you got me. It wasn't my choice. I just wanted that clear.
Yeah, he just turned. He turns quick. And I can couldn't have served in the rebellion, man. He will have turned.
He won't be smart. Yeah, maybe he would have been too good. He's like, let's just go and like, kills whatever we need to. And they'll try to be James Bond at that point.
It's like, no, they'll just give me cool. All right, thanks for joining. Skaters have to jump out. Thanks for joining us.
They have the on-show coming up there tonight. But yeah, I think we kind of covered most of it. We said before this show is doing a great job of showing yes, this is Star Wars, but everything that happens there happens in real life. And there's different ways that you can kind of react to it.
I'm very interested in how this show is going to move forward because there were a bunch of interviews that came out right before episode 7, 10 or so. This is a standalone. So don't expect now that this is going to follow the next two. But it seems like the next few episodes, I guess, is going to be this breakout from the jail cell.
I don't know if it will be two more episodes. It will be three. It will be just one or something else. Do you think maybe now that the rebellion made their announcement that kind of made their first move?
Are we now going to see that Luther and saw scene and see what Sogarera and his partisans of what they're doing? Or is this kind of way more closer to the end of the season? I'm hoping that we start seeing Sogarera soon. Yeah, I could see it as like maybe saw being his own standalone arc and maybe Luther and trying to connect with another cell.
And yeah, I could see it that way where it's like maybe Luther is trying to find another cell to do another all-dawny type action and he stumbles onto Black Squadron and Sogarera. But then realizes that that's not the move because I keep thinking of Mon Mothma's line in Rogue One that saws militancy has created many problems. And it's like, maybe this is what we get in Andor to show what some of those problems are. But I don't think saw an Andor will interact too much.
Like if they do maybe an arc, maybe an episode, but yeah, it seems like because Andor makes the point in Rogue One of like, hey, we know how to find him. We're just trying not to get shot. The moment we come through. So last time we saw each other, it didn't go well.
Yeah, so it leads me to believe either you saw him for a moment and things didn't go out like the way you wanted him to, or you've never met him. But maybe you heard from Luther or someone else that, hey, he's a tricky person to work with. Yeah, what we talked about yesterday, I hadn't thought about it. Now that Casan Andor is in prison, Luther knows that he knows about me and my shoulder beans, let me go find Sawgarera to not break him out, but break him to the prison to kill him.
But maybe through it, he gets out and they, I don't know, something happens. Or maybe that's why he goes and finds Sawgarera and Black's squadron. And he sends Edio Toutu and his brother, hey, I got a little prison, you need to destroy over here. And he kills a bunch of people.
And that's when the Empire gets even angrier. And then it kind of leads to Mon Mothma's message. But yeah, so I'm just gonna, two things I'm gonna complain about. Not one thing, it's not complaining.
It's, I've been mentioning every time it's, I don't like the way the episodes end. Because this episode ends with Casan's in jail, he gets sentenced for six years, could have been a great ending right there. But then he goes for a friend zero, his fancy cubes, pulls out episode ends. And this doesn't make sense.
And understand, I understand people are not dumb. Might be showing that he has his own type of prison, his own type of cell working that job, not where he wants to be, might be there for 10 years, people falling to jobs are that's the whole thing for 20 years. So maybe showing zero's own type of prison. I get it.
I just, I don't know, it didn't fit for me that ending every episode ends. I'm like, you should have ended differently. But like I said last time, I should know about this already. I can't complain because it happens every time I need to expect it.
I got a show up about it. The last thing I just want to get your thoughts on it. Are you enjoying the music? People are falling in love now that the Spotify released the first four episodes is soundtrack.
Everyone loves the music at the end. Are you liking the music for Andro? Does it fit in Star Wars or does it matter as it fits with the show? So I'm kind of balancing it.
Yeah, that's fair. I have been looking forward to the music. I think there was an article that came either with the three episode premiere or right before it where they mentioned that each episode will have the intro reworked. And for me, I love that.
It works for me because it already cues me in a lot to how the episode will be. I think all the episodes that have more tension or the highest episode of the music is definitely much more ramped up. And then all of the other episodes have the three episode premiere, the first two are kind of sad and somber and it's really giving you the backstory and it's telling you, Andro is not, he didn't live this nice and privileged life. So I really, I have been appreciating that.
Does all the music work for me? I don't know. But I also think this is Disney trying to get away from like the John Williams epic sweeping scores because you're not always going to have John Williams. And even if John Williams wants to make even a theme or two until the day he dies, like that day will come at some point.
So I think this is them trying to explore like, okay, what else can we do? What can we do? What can we do that's new or different? Or can we find, you know, either can we find the next John Williams or can we find like a suite of producers and then depending if we're making a hype movie, we put this person in or something more emotional, we put this composer in.
So yeah, I think they're just, they're just playing around. And like, I appreciate that. I think until we get another movie, I am very encouraged by the fact that Disney is playing with different producers and composers and just kind of like shopping around and you know, hey, if you don't like the audio and a TV show, like that's fine, you know, like Mando only has two seasons. It's not 28 hours of movies or something that you know, you have to love that composer.
So it like when it works, it works, like Niamos absolutely loved it. Every tweet that's past two days, every tweet that's about the soundtrack has a little clip of Niamos playing. Which is a nice one. Yeah, I was like, maybe that's, you know, I know I'm speaking to another Floridian here, but I was like, that I could hear that in a South Florida, I can hear that in Central Florida.
Like you could play that over the Galaxy's Edge speakers. I wish they should, right? They should when you're walking in, play that music, getting in the vibe, you're already sweating that hell. Just put that trooper right down the entrance in Orlando in the summer.
Why are you sweating? Are you part of it? Don't get in the mood real quick. Absolutely.
Yeah. I, the thing for me is I've been really enjoying the music because it fits the show. You can have, like you said, this rousing John Williams type themes in Orlando because they don't fit. But at the same time, if I just listening to a song that just, let's say, any song from this center starts playing, it's not going to jump on me.
Oh, that's Star Wars. I know what that is because Star Wars has a certain feel. Even Rogue One, having Michael Giacchino, it still felt like Star Wars. He had a lot of rousing kind of orchestra and whatever.
This show doesn't have it. It's very sci-fi and very kind of thriller like. So it fits for the show. It doesn't fit really what I think when I think about Star Wars music.
But I think it's better that it doesn't because yeah, if it's this type of, if we get the, I don't know, the Jedi theme or something when Captain shows up is, eh, this doesn't fit can be very much work when the ISB is there, maybe, but it might not fit with everything else that's going. So I've enjoyed it. It doesn't scream Star Wars to me. But like you said, that's probably the point and it's been working out.
Yeah, you know what I missed opportunity in my opinion is, I felt like the music for the Aldones should have been something closer to like the Cloud Riders from solo, like that. Yes, like, and you know, maybe it'll show up later because I think, again, that's one of those mistakes where the Rebels and the Aldone heists are using the celestial event as cover, but they don't let the Aldones in on the fact that they're doing that. Whereas, you know, again, you watch, this episode is just a big reminder to go watch Rebel Folks. But yeah, you know, you watch Rebels and what do Hurricane and Ezra do every chance they get.
They rile up the locals and are like, yeah, you should also fight the Empire and like, don't worry about what we're doing. But like, yes, you should definitely fight the Empire. Yeah, because if we go back to all Danny, we know the Danny people are going to be suffering right now. Don't take him out on them.
So yeah, they're going to be like, we didn't do anything. We're looking at the stars. Yeah, Rebels. All right.
So that brings an end to our Android Talk episode seven announcement. A great standalone, if you want to call it standalone, I think it was a very good bridge between everything that happens and we'll see what happens with episode eight. I don't want to start ranking episodes, but so far, and there hasn't been very interesting to see we're down in the back half of the season. So we'll see where it goes.
All right. And with that, we're going to jump to our other segment. We're talking about other things that are not Star Wars, a world between Fandons, and I don't have my graphic there. I apologize always.
The talk this is very loud. But Andres, I don't know if you watch any of these shows, Rings of Power is done. So I cannot talk about Lord of the Rings. She'll focus down.
The only thing out there right now is how so they drag on. Have you watched how so they drag on? Are you a Game of Thrones fans? Yeah, so I jumped in late house of the dragon just because the ending of Game of Thrones, I won.
I had a spoiled. Yeah, I had a coworker back in the day who loved reading the spoiler sites. And literally one day he was just like, I literally, he's very contrarian, loved to death, but he knew that I wasn't trying to get spoiled. So I memory certainly correctly, he like yelled from a hall across a hallway.
I was like, this is what happens. And I was like, oh man. And then watching it happen on screen, I was like, so I just went on the run. Yeah, I know.
That's the first time I was like, I need this time here. But yeah, I caught myself up. I think I started after like, I've had already premiered and was like, all right, let's do this. I enjoy it, but I'm also enjoying it mostly because I'm casually watching it.
Okay, let's hear. Yeah, like I'm not super committed to any of the Targaryens. I'm not like Team Green or Black. They're all terrible, right?
Yes. It's a big world world. And they're like, of course, everyone's terrible because people were terrible in medieval times. It's like, right, if that's the case, then I'm rooting for none of them.
And I'm just trying to see all the deaths. It's funny that you say that because I've seen that somewhere a few weeks ago, people saying it's difficult to kind of love the show because you don't root for everyone or anyone because everyone's terrible. And it's right. None of these people deserve the iron on top apart from the series, which you can say that you didn't care too much about your wife when she was given birth.
Afterward, you were, yeah, of course, I always loved it. But same to the baby wife. Sorry, we need an air. But yeah, no one's there's no Jon Snow or Daenerys.
What were you rooting for in Game of Thrones? We don't have that. I love a bunch of the Targaryens, but yes, they're not the best. But are you caught up with the last episode?
Yes, yes, with the coronation or? Yeah. So well, I like to do here just not to spend too much time on it because it will be here another hour. Three things that we liked, one thing that we did in all Star just real quick, I love the music in this episode because I can't remember that I rewatched it.
Yes, I just remember that they're all things. No, it's like this piano playing just three different notes. It just worked great. And they just wrote the whole episode all the way to the coronation.
I love the way they use music in this episode. I love the coronation. In fact, it's in all their rows of sword when Aegon, Aegon, Aegon, Aegon, I don't know names are difficult. Aegon, Aegon, because he's named after the dude that had the vision.
Yes. Which is why Jason drinks, and Sarah says the timing him is okay. All right, good. Yeah.
So Mo is saying, yeah, the music the other was so well. So I love the coronation just the way it looked because I love fantasy. I think it's my favorite thing and it gave you that kind of feel this medieval fantasy world that maybe not everything is horrible. So I love all these stories kind of they just falling down at his working.
I love that good night. So Harold when at the beginning of the episode when they're like, oh, that's there. Also finally, we can move with our plan that we've been working behind the Queen's bag. She doesn't know anything about it.
And then freaking Chris on call, which just freaking kill him already because I hate him. But then so Harold is the only one that has one of the few that has has an age that I can't do. I can't be part of this. I'm here.
I protect the king. We don't have a king. I'm not gonna be a part of this take his coat and just walks out. He's like, thank you.
There's one good guy. There's one good guy in house. Also the dragon. And of course the ending.
It's just the dragon comes out. Rainy's had had had it. You kept me here. I can't kill you because the game of thrones happens already.
So I cannot spoil that. Can break canon. But I just love that she shows up. It's like if I wanted to kill you, I could kill you just like that.
I'm just gonna let you live for a little bit. And finally, a month ago, which I don't like and beginning one of those that you love to hate. Like I'm liking this actor more and more. I didn't like him when they were younger kids.
He started to grow me a little bit de-actor. I still hate the character. But I think I'm starting to see where he's coming from. So that's kind of my likes.
What were some of the highlights for you this last episode? Yeah, for me, I'm gonna go with the cinematography. It was very dark. There's a lot of like people getting put in positions they don't want to be in.
And the camera does a good job of showing you that like even when Rainy's just trying to leave. And then she realizes she can. And then she realizes that she's near her dragon like yeah, skiing those pieces out up. Eric and Eric and like how the camera just hangs on one of the brothers as he's like, not down for this anymore.
Those moments for me were very much, again, a reminder of like you're not really supposed to like any of them. And all of them are making choices that are not great because this episode just solidifies that Westeros is gonna go to war. And no one's thrilled about it, but everyone's also like, but I am willing to die for this belief, whichever side you use the land on. I also love like the theme of just how unsavory all of it was like, Alison wants her son to be in control, but she doesn't want her son to talk to her dad.
So it's like, for me, all of those scenes were like, okay, you know, you could just make your friend the queen and be done with it if you don't want if you don't want your dad's playing. Yeah, because he has the hands. So it's like, and she's a queen, which she could walk into a small council meeting if she wanted to, but she's not going to be invited now that they have a king and the whole court. So yeah, it was very like, I appreciated that they leaned into it again.
They're not giving you a hero, Alison is wants her son to succeed, but she's not for the reasons that would make him a quote unquote good king. It's just because she has her ideas about how this is going to go. Yes, I was watching the episode. I was I hate how much I'm enjoying it, because I'm not team green, because I hate auto high tower because from episode one, he's just maneuvering to get for his, his, her daughter.
Oh, the king is stuff went into well. Talk to the king for a little bit. Do you just mean your daughter? And she's like 14.
So you know what he's been playing for, I don't know, 15, 16 years at this point. So I hate auto high tower again. The guy playing him is doing a great job. But the episode just like you said, all the build up, the camera movement, the way that's in the narrative, cinematography kind of follows the characters kind of gives you that impression that, all right, people are moving the chess pieces to see which, which side they're going to align with.
It's going to be someone from Allison's family, either it's going to be a gun, but it's going to be what she wants with for him as a good king, you're not going to kill your, you're costing or whatever. It's going to be with auto saying, Hey, if she's there, we got to take her out because she's going to come for us and they get a bunch of dragons. So I love all that kind of cat-of-mouth that we got in this episode, even though I hate Kristen Cole, I love that we got to see the twins Eric and Eric try to get him and then Kristen Cole and the Aemon and Aemon trying to find him. And then we get, I love that Eric, I think was Eric kind of showing his brother.
Aemon is, I mean, Aemon is not a good person. Look where he comes, where kids are made to fight, that's one of his sons, they're just laying there, one of many, and I don't want to be part of it. And then by the end, he kind of rescues Rhaenese. And if you're seeing that trailer for the next one, he goes to Dragonstone and kind of plays his allegiance to Rhaenira.
So I also enjoyed that now we have this other because they took How When Strong From Me, which I love, he's gone. So now we have this other knight on the other side. So it's a great episode to kind of, okay, everything set up for definitely, everyone has their dragons, everyone has their knights willing to die for who they think is their queen or queen. So I'm ready for it.
Yeah, fair. I guess like, dislike, I appreciated that end of it, of like the the dragon and showing up. But it was, I dislike it when movies and shows kind of telegraph what's going to happen, like really blatantly, I kind of like that whole like, oh, you have to tease it out. But you know, they were going back to the the sept and it was like, this is very Game of Thrones, where like they're all in one place and someone's going to take things into their own hands.
And it doesn't quite play out that way. Right. But once once I saw Reyna's looking to the staircase, I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, like everyone's in one little cramped room and everything's about to blow up.
But you know, because of Game of Thrones, the building still has to like survive. But it's almost the same like shot for shot. So, yeah, when they started making everyone kind of force them into these keep or whatever, it's like, I was starting to think, wait, are these dragons going to be under it? I think the dragon is like, gonna be them.
That's why I think she's gonna drag on just escape. I didn't expect her to just blow up the middle because I thought you're there, you're just kill everyone. But of course, you can, because in 200 years, Game of Thrones happens. So, yeah, all right.
But yeah, so far, it's been a great season. Tomorrow, I should be definitely so we'll see how that ends. Yeah, or it was yesterday if you're terminally online, because someone leaked it and fans already talking about it. Yeah, I'm glad that I haven't run into any spoilers.
I heard that there's spoilers already somehow. People found out entire scenes, like entire scenes, my understanding is the whole episode is out. I have not seen the whole episode, but I have seen enough scenes that I'm like, okay, something will happen. But I don't remember everyone's names.
So it's like, cool. No one. Yeah, it's like cool thing about the rest of the game. So you don't know.
Yeah, it's like, oh, two blinds are mad at each other. Okay. Yeah, and they won't do the same because Daemon and Aemon now look, if it's not for the iPads, you can say, you can say, have the same straight hair, bro. Yeah.
All right, that kind of does it for our show today. Thank you, Andreas, as always, for being here. It's a pleasure and great talking under with you. We'll have to do it again at some point soon, like we always try to do.
