I swear, I thought they were going to kiss as well. And, honestly, I didn't want that. It would have made zero sense. Especially given the setting and who they were. I hate it when movies/shows do that. The world is fall apart, monsters/aliens/bad guys are running amok and what do the two leads do? KISS! No. Stop. Just get out of there. Making smoochies later. Or none at all.

For one second, hold off on the storyline. Whether you like it or not, I think we can all agree that Andor is one beautiful looking series. People have been throwing words like "cinematic" around describing this series. But I don't think that's right. It's not cinematic in the way modern movies look. It's very classic cinematic. The lighting, the composition, the sets, the costumes, it all harkens to older films. Films of John Ford, early George Lucas, Hitchcock and Kubrick. I know it's a cliche to say, "They don't make it like they used to," but here it fits. I find myself rewatching scenes just for the lighting. Wondering how did they do that. How could I do the same if I were to make a video. I love how costume is used to tell not just the culture but the class as well. How something as simple as hair will tell you what class someone is in. The higher up you are, the more slicked down and overly polished your hair is. The lower class you are, the more you hair is untouched by gel and things like braids or buns or even pins. I mean, hair. Something as simple as hair tells a story in this universe. That's how much thought is placed in this series.

I liked the first and a little bit under half of the second season. Once the blood machine appeared, I was out. At least in my head. I sat through the rest of it just to see what happened. But it went from, "Oh, this is a cool take on the myths," to, "Did they mainline True Blood and Twilight? What the everliving sam hill?!"

Just to think that if he had been given the right script and paired up with the right director, his acting career would have thrived. And most likely he would have never left it for politics. World history as a whole would be completely different right now. We are where we are now because he was a failed actor.

Saw a couple of "Poll watchers" this past Saturday at a poll in High Point. Two men and one woman. Wearing "poll watcher" shirts. Trying to look intimidating and failing terribly. All it did was make people pissed off and more determined to vote.
A year or two ago, people were intimidated by such MAGAs. Now people find them annoying and just want them gone. You can only make people scared for so long before than fear turns to anger. .....Yoda was right.

I think the Walker shows are okay because they have more mass appeal. It's the superhero/supernatural genre shows that are being axed. I will be shocked if the Winchesters spin-off gets a second season.

It used to have such a cult following thanks to Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries and Arrowverse. You would go to Comic Con, heck, you would go any of the cons, and there would be CW fans everywhere. Supernatural, alone, was up there with MCU in terms of con popularity. But that's all gone now. It's amazing how quickly it became a husk.

I know this is less of a post and more of an add but, dammit, I would love to get another season. The third one was the weakest. It wasn't the same without Harry Treadaway. So, I want another season as a second chance. Gleeson was so good in this series.

Would anyone consider Bev from Midnight Mass a sociopath? She has all the earmarks of one. Lack of empathy. The desire for power and control. Manipulative. Hostile/Aggressive toward others. Sense of entitlement. A constant liar.

Reply to comment by Gato1980 in Bruno Heller on the eventual (flashforward) Bruce Wayne casting in ‘Pennyworth’ — “I think we had the best Batman out there in David Mazouz. I’ll bring him back.” by RealJohnGillman
To me it was the best adaptation of the city. Usually when shows and movies do Gotham they make it depressing and/or corrupt. But they always forget that the town is just insane. It's a homicidal maniac psychopath with skyscrapers. And Gotham, the series, was so good at showing that side of it with just the perfect slice of camp to top it off.

Instead of a rotation, why not have one host and bring back the different segments like they used to have during Stewarts run? I miss when the correspondents would go out into the field and do them. It feels like the only segments we have left are when Keppler goes to Trump rallies and even then those segments are usually tossed online.

I miss Trevor in his hoodies. All the colors of the rainbow and he looked cute in each and everyone.

If he doesn't do the English dub I will be extremely disappointed. He was one of the reasons why Vash came across as so loveable to me. That sweet, goofy voice.

I am starting to think the title "Andor" isn't about Cass at all but about his mother and how she was the spark that lit the rebellion powder keg. Her name is also "Andor" as well.
