Ever Been to Ghorman?

This episode proves why this season is deffinetely a slow burn! Not much happens storywise, as the episode is mostly devoted to set up future arcs and storylines!

I would say this episode centers mostly on the events on Ghorman! It was introduced to us in the first episode and I feel like that its a planet which will play a larger role in this season! Its nice to see the consequences of what the empire is doing, and the secrecy of it, only makes you more invested!

The small character moments is enough to make you speculating on what is gonna happen later on with some of the characters! Syril gets to play a larger role, and Brix is struggling with her experiences! We see how this is slowly turning more serious and that war has consequences! Is it all worth it or not?

This episode was not very eventfull but it has enoigh to make you excited for whats next and the production is still on point!

The underlying malice of the Empire is expertly weaved into this episode without a stormtrooper in sight.

Every conversation has weight and you can feel the desperation of all of the disparate Rebel factions - from Mons efforts to persuade her Senate colleagues to set aside their fear through to Luthen clawing at the elevator door asking for more.

Anton Lesser steals every scene he is in playing Major Partagaz, the gentle hand on the back of the chair the perfect summation of his role in the Imperial machine.

All of the previous decade of dirge Disney made us sit through was worth it just to get this show.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Ever Been to Ghorman?", a 4th episode of "Andor" Season 2 was a very good in setting up the story. Writing is very good here, as well as acting, directing, and exceptional set design. The way this show looks is off the charts great. Its a real, lived in world. When I'm watching Andor, i need to remind myself every 15 min. Or so that I'm watching a Star Wars series, because it sounds, plays, looks like no Star Wars before - in a great way. You do feel just how powerful the Empire is here like in no other instalments before.

Overall, this was a great episode in storytelling and world building.

Man this show rules. Ghorman is finally revealed in an expert fashion and it really puts this shows production design to work. The city feels so alive and lived in and I adore how it is like a space France, I think thats really sick.

Lonni is a very interesting chracter and I'd love to see where he will end up, though if you're thinking realistically he will probably end up dead.

The music is as beautiful as ever and delivers so much more emotion to each scene. This was a great episode, a plot builder at its finest that has me very hooked to where we go from here. A strong episode. F the minimum character requirement.

Ever been to Ghorman moves the narrative on from the previous three episodes and lays the foundations for what is likely to come next.

Due to the time jump, there is naturally some exposition. The information dumps are not what I would describe as subtle, but are done as well as possible. For me the build up to what is coming is intriguing enough to make up for that.

Events portrayed on Ghorman are the most interesting part of the episode, plus what the future holds for characters like Syril and Dedra. It must be good storytelling, if I know the outcome of the rebellion's larger narrative, but am still invested in what happens to the certain characters. Likewise Bix has some moments that fill me with anxiety for what might be coming, as she is also an unknown entity in the SW universe.

There is less screen time for the likes of Mon Mothma and Luthen Real, but what we see is full of promise for future episodes.

The show continues to portray the ruthless exploitation and subjugation the Empire displays towards its peoples in a relatable way. Also, the organisation and actions of the rebels continues to be plausibly depicted. As a longtime fan of the original movie, this continues to be the best and most meaningful prequel material written for the franchise.

The nerdgasms continue!
