@admiraljello I guess but haven't we already seen them rebellion-ing together by 5 BBY? — PolitiTweet.org

@ditzkoff the people have been jonesing for it — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not quite sure how the broken World Between Worlds wall/door relic works, since this episode predates that Rebels story arc, but I guess the whole thing about the WBW is something something time travel blah blah blah, so 🤷‍♂️. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh, and speaking of Easter eggs in this episode, Luthen's gallery was like a feast. https://t.co/M53aGz8779 https://t.co/3tMqxJw5NS — PolitiTweet.org

Mon and Bail Organa are already close allies from their time in the Republic Senate, so while I do expect (and want) a Bail cameo, I don't think Mon's comment in this episode can be a reference to him. — PolitiTweet.org

Also, it was funny seeing Ebon Moss-Bachrach in this episode right after watching The Bear. Definitely less of a POS here! Speaking of cast crossover, this is basically the Game of Thrones reunion show. First Rupert Vansittart, now Faye Marsay and Anton Lesser? — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

There's just something about the establishing shot and the "capital of the galaxy" label that gave this moment a "majestic sci-fi/space fantasy" feel. Like a scene from Dune or The Expanse. I don't know, I'm probably not articulating this well. But it felt like a new tone for SW. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

I’m going to be honest, I definitely teared up when I saw this. Coruscant, you beautiful place, it’s so great to see you back on screen. You looked amazing in this episode. https://t.co/MrCSORK08D — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Some funny moments too. I loved Sergeant Mosk raising his hand to ask a question while being fired and Blevin being like “seriously dude?” I can’t wait to see what it’s like for Karn to move back in with his mom. What a mundane, grounded, and hilarious storyline for a villain. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

A delightful basket of Easter eggs in this episode. Increased shipments to Scarif... 😮 Mon mentioning Ghorman — Rebels fans know where that situation leads. Definitely was not expecting Rakatan shoutout! Talk about a deep cut. Ars Dangor and Sly Moore — now we're talking!!!! — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Luthen is so good in this episode. I loved the shot of him rehearsing his elegant mannerisms. It’s a great way of showing us that his Coruscant persona is the mask. We don't usually see rough-and-tumble Rebel operatives having to mingle with fancy people to get what they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

It was such a brilliant decision to start the series with Pre-Mor as the big bad for our sympathetic Ferrix locals and then show how even the Pre-Mor guys blanch when the Empire shows up. This is the galactic hierarchy, and we’ve never seen it depicted so vividly or directly. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

This episode also does a great job of showing why the Empire decides to assume more local control. Watching the ISB put our haughty Pre-Mor villains in their place, you can tell Imperial patience with amateurish corporate rule is wearing thin. Outsourcing has backfired. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Major Partagaz in particular is a superb character. I loved his speech about the ISB’s role identifying and purging societal disease and disorder. The scene where he resolves Blevin and Meero’s dispute is this really grounded workplace-drama moment that just happens to be in SW. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

One of the best things Andor has done is put the ISB at the center of the action. Everything from the design of ISB headquarters to the casting of the officers is spot-on. I love seeing the power dynamics & the structural & cultural forces complicating Dedra Meero's ambitions. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

“If you make me pay attention, I will. And you won’t be happy.” What a great line. Mon is basically threatening to make a scene at Perrin's big dinner. What a fun side of her. We better see this next week. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

The scene at Mon’s home is so great too. You can instantly tell what kind of relationship she has with her husband. She and Perrin don't agree on politics. He enjoys life among the elite and sees her as a moralizing killjoy. This is not what we expected from her personal life. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Mon’s anxieties are exactly what you'd expect them to be, but for a live-action series to actually show her confronting them is great. You really feel the net tightening around her. Genevieve O'Reilly shines in those moments when Mon puts the mask on and takes it off. — PolitiTweet.org

Mon visiting Luthen's gallery — best scene in the episode. Both of them dropping their masks as soon as they're alone. Mon describing feeling trapped, with spies everywhere. Her & Luthen arguing about bringing in a new ally (?). Wonderful writing. New depth to Mon's character. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Another great episode of #Andor this week. The FANTASTIC Mon Mothma scenes definitely stole the show. I’m obsessed with ISB office politics. We’re seeing why the Empire tightens its direct control over systems. Lots of great Easter eggs. This show is firing on all cylinders. — PolitiTweet.org

Star Trek: Lower Decks' latest episode was a beautiful tribute to Deep Space Nine. I totally teared up when they first played the DS9 theme. Beautiful love letter to one of the best TV shows ever. LD nails the sweet spot of simultaneously celebrating something & making fun of it. — PolitiTweet.org

.@samsabin923's Codebook newsletter is great today as always: https://t.co/M1GnWNsIYV She talks to @RecordedFuture's CEO about his plan to expand his Ukrainian workforce. CEO says "we just love the quality of the work" they're doing. — PolitiTweet.org
