The revelation that Kino can’t swim is just...brutal. We're so excited for him to escape, but he’s known all along that he’s trapped. He admits it in an almost upbeat tone, like he's still elated from the jailbreak, but his sadness is clear. What an incredibly tragic figure. — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate that Kino exhorts the prisoners to help & protect each other. The Empire tried to stamp out their fundamental decency, & earlier scenes made us think it succeeded. But a tiny glimmer of decency remained alive inside Kino this whole time, & Cassian helped him find it. — PolitiTweet.org

Andy Serkis' acting is just marvelous here, too. I love watching him deliver his speech to the prisoners for the benefit of the guards. The way his voice falters and his eyes dart around shows you he’s putting on a show — and starting to get nervous as the moment approaches. — PolitiTweet.org

“I’m going to assume I’m already dead and take it from there.” Amazing line that captures the fatalism that often drives insurgency. The prisoners don’t have anything to lose, so why not rise up? We see this all the time in the real world, and I love how Andor portrays it. — PolitiTweet.org

I love watching the completion of Kino's transformation into an insurgent. As he listens to the prisoners argue, the conflict on his face slowly melts away as his will solidifies and he accepts Cassian's plan. You can literally see him realizing it's the only way. It's brilliant. — PolitiTweet.org

Kino's big speech to the prisoners is a key moment for him, but it's equally key for Cassian, who uses savvy persuasion to embolden him. It's b/c of Cassian that Kino can deliver this inspiring call to arms. Kino even repeats Cassian's earlier line, vindicating the wisdom of it. — PolitiTweet.org

We see Cassian's steady, motivating presence repeatedly in the ep. He inspires prisoners to keep their wits about them: “Don’t die until you put up a fight!” He issues quick, almost offhand orders during the escape, showing his burgeoning tactical abilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Tony Gilroy said in an interview that true leadership is convincing someone else to step up. That’s what Cassian does in persuading Kino to take charge. We're not just watching Cassian radicalize; we're watching him develop the ability to lead and inspire. He's come so far. — PolitiTweet.org

Where Cassian's anger emboldens him, Kino's shock unbalances him. When Cassian shouts “Program!” at the end of the opening scene, it’s a nice juxtaposition with Kino’s earlier command to him. Cassian’s now the calm one trying to shake Kino out of the grip of uncertainty. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking of great lines: “I’d rather die trying to take them down than die giving them what they want.” Cassian's at an intermediate stage of radicalization. He’s not selfless yet — his insurgent impulse's driven by fatalism & spite. But he's moving toward more selfless bravery. — PolitiTweet.org

“Power doesn’t panic” is such a great line, and I love these consistent reminders that, while Cassian is far from a Rebel leader at this point, he already has an excellent grasp of the way the Empire operates — and the weaknesses inherent in its approach. — PolitiTweet.org

The opening scene shows Cassian's come a long way from the meek fish out of water who first arrived on Narkina 5. He sees the prisoners' power, the guards' fear, and the resulting opportunity. We’re seeing him turning insights about the Empire into motivation & logic for action. — PolitiTweet.org

If you didn’t get chills or cry watching this week’s episode of #Andor, I don’t know what’s wrong with you. Cassian rises to meet the moment, Mon Mothma confronts a horrible choice, and Stellan Skarsgård and Andy Serkis earn their Emmy nominations. Unparalleled storytelling. — PolitiTweet.org

Just gonna lay down this marker for #Andor season 2: I predict that Mon pushes Luthen out when all the unsavory foundational work is done and it's time to start building an inspiring public face. https://t.co/jqc6mDdieB — PolitiTweet.org

This #Andor interview with Tony Gilroy is honestly so good. The man has a clear (and refreshing!) vision and is fearless about executing it. "Drama is watching people you care about in difficult circumstances make decisions that you’re interested in." https://t.co/U2mflmzPzB — PolitiTweet.org
