Andor [Drama, Action, Adventure, Thriller, Sci-Fi] (Page 3 of 4)

First three episodes of Season 2 were OK.

Very slow pace, all three episodes could've easily been compressed into two episodes.
The lack of alien life continues in this season, I think all in all I saw 3 non-human people so far.
The title of the first episodes makes it clear that there is a time gap to Season 1 which I very much aprreciate.

I agree with the above. Season 2 first 3 eps was clearly desgned to waste as much money as possible on giving as many extras  a job for as long as possible. I hope thats that and we now get  into the real story.

Just as well they gave us 3 eps in one go. I hope the writing gets better

I re-watched Season 1 and compared to that, this season is kinda bad. It reminds me of when BSG came out with Caprica, or Stargate came out with SG Universe.

Everyone thought Caprica would be action filled shoot em up. But it was more of a political thriller and background introduction. Same with SG Universe. It was darker and people could not adjust to it.

It does feel like they fired the writing team and hired new people. Seems to me more politics than action. Will stick with it, since this will be the last season.

Hope it gets better. The city scenery and surrounding view is just amazing though. Now if they could only improve the script.

2x4,5,6 are more interesting than the first 3 episodes, incredible sets/props/wardrobe/locations, there's some suspense in 2x6, but other than that, it's mid at best, as every character from Cassian, to Luthen, to Mon Mothma, all seem to lack a clear sense of purpose, urgency and intensity, compared to the first season, like, they're directionless and just fighting a random war of attrition, and so the story seems directionless.  Also, the social issues they bring up this season landed unoriginal and unnecessary for Star Wars, like, is this supposed to be that kind of drama?, even the music and use of language and accents felt too much like Earth and not escapist Star Wars, that it took me out of the fiction, when every episode needs to capture, "A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far Far Away."

...so far not paced with a story worth following but with 6 more episodes to go, just hoping for 1 good one...

lolz, yup, exactly, the audience would have seen Rogue One so every episode needs to be interesting and full of purpose otherwise the audience is just left saying, "Why did they make this?" and "How does this add to what we already know?"

Here's what I felt after 1x1 as per my previous post, 3 years ago:  2022-09-22 16:12:02

I'm a bit late to the (season 2) party, only watched the first 3 episodes. What can I say... I liked them!

Looked like in 2x3 they used the same cutlery as in 2001: A Space Odyssey (when his mom came over for the cringe fest/ meal)! Love that!

Yeah, 2x09 was great, I may give it another watch too.

@WDM, I had similar thoughts, my comments are in red...

Looking forward to the final episodes of Andor Season 2.

I understood that the machine was required to syphon off the fuel without causing a big explosion. I felt like they added it mostly to...

After watching the last 3 episodes, I have come to the conclusion that the first 4 - 6 episodes are utter garbage, in timing and story progression. They should have turned season 1 into a movie and season 2 into a movie. Or combined S1 and S2 into one good film.

The flow in the first 3 or 4 episodes was off. But it sure went out with a bang. I enjoyed the last 6 episodes.

The problem with prequels is you know how it ends, so you better have a damn good story.

eps 7-9 much better. Had to wait a very very long time though. giving us 3 eps at a time suggests they knew they had a curates egg
