AG Monday!
Andor, part 2.
A quick bleg: If you listen to the podcast, please consider leaving a quick review on your podcast app of choice. It really will help us find new listeners. Thanks!!
More Andor! Our discussion of the show continues with our analysis of season two. The Empire tightens its grip. The Rebel Alliance gains strength. Characters reach the final destinations of their story arcs. And in the process, we get the best Star Wars in a long, long time. It’s John le Carré-level fiction, but with blasters and droids.
Hear our analysis of season two, and the series overall. Next episode, we’ll get the political science take on this ground-breaking series. What makes this show one of the best allegories about authoritarianism and rebellion ever on screen?
Ancient Geeks is a podcast about two geeks of a certain age re-visiting their youth. We were there when things like science fiction, fantasy, Tolkien, Star Trek, Star Wars, D&D, Marvel and DC comics, Doctor Who, and many, many other threads of modern geek culture were still on the fringes of culture. We were geeks before it was chic!

While I listen to the rest on the way home later:
Misguided plagiarism 1:
Capt. Picard: Will, are you pondering what I’m pondering?
Cmdr. Riker: I think so, Jean-Luc, but what if the Borg won’t wear the nylons?
Finished it today. Light traffic on the way home yesterday…
I’d only add that Syril(SP?) shows more concern for subordinates than the average imperial. This is something his ill-starred sergeant agrees with when they go after Andor in season 1.
