Obviously the big question surrounding Maarva's death is what Cassian will do about it. You can hear how hollow his voice is as he lies to Melshi that everything's fine on Ferrix. His mind must be racing. Will he risk a trip home to pay his respects — or perhaps to retaliate? — PolitiTweet.org

There's also this incredible humanity to the way that B2 tentatively suggests that Brasso could keep him company in Maarva’s house overnight so B2 doesn’t have to leave yet. When Brasso agrees, B2 visibly perks up and approaches Brasso with joy. He's like part dog, part child. — PolitiTweet.org

The saddest moment in the episode might be when B2 says that he doesn't want to be alone — he wants Maarva. He has a childlike naivety that is incredibly endearing. It's also very human to process a situation in that irrational way. It's not something we expect from a machine. — PolitiTweet.org

When B2 wants to go with Brasso, Brasso — playing on B2's sense of purpose — tells him that he needs to stay and address matters of “grave importance” with the Daughters of Ferrix. You can really tell how much time Brasso has spent with B2. He knows how to appeal to the droid. — PolitiTweet.org

Brasso and B2 have some very sweet moments. I love how Brasso offers to have the room cleared so B2 can say goodbye to Maarva alone. You get the sense that Brasso genuinely respects B2's agency and isn't just tolerating him. There's a kind of friendship there. — PolitiTweet.org

I thought it was great how that initial Ferrix scene started through B2's perspective, with camera angles that emphasize how he's watching the humans do their thing. It emphasizes his consciousness and makes you wonder about his thoughts, feelings, and anxieties in that moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, we have to talk about B2EMO, who really earns his name in this ep. He's such a wonderfully designed character, every mechanical sound carrying clear emotion — especially those whimper-like servo adjustments. His attachment to Maarva makes him so...alive. It's great. — PolitiTweet.org

Side note: Ferrix custom of mixing a dead person's ashes w/ mortar to create memorial bricks is both touching & disturbing. It preserves their essence in the literal foundation of the community, but it's also an eerie transmutation of a living being into an inanimate object. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

In the shot of Maarva's friends escorting her coffin out into the street, many observers linger nearby — a touching reminder of how beloved she was in the community. You can tell that this is going to be a tough loss for an already battered town. — PolitiTweet.org

The way Maarva’s friends discuss packing up her house and dealing with her belongings will be achingly familiar to anyone who’s lost a family member. It doesn’t matter that this is a galaxy far, far away — they still have to discuss what to do with her bedding. 😢 — PolitiTweet.org

First, RIP Maarva. I was really surprised that they killed such an important character off-screen. Andor hasn't ever felt rushed, but that's kind of what this felt like. Give her the dignity of a dramatic final scene! — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

#Andor gave us such an incredible variety of intense scenes this week, from the emotional to the stressful. Trouble's brewing on Ferrix, the walls are closing in on Coruscant, conviction is forming on Niamos, and Luthen is just out there being a total badass. In Kleya we trust. — PolitiTweet.org
