I haven't gotten to this arc's finale yet, but this episode is without a doubt one of the greatest episodes of television I have ever watched. Just jaw-dropping writing, never ending tension, raw emotion, everything about it was executed to a tee. This was an absolutely brilliant episode, not much more can be said. Andor has been my second favorite piece of Star Wars media since season one-only behind Empire-but it just continues to raise the bar for what Disney should be producing.

I know that right now the next episode has a similar score rating, but I don't know how this episode can be topped.

Other than the fight scenes, everything else was pretty unbearable again. The dialogue has been consistently bland and flat throughout these five episodes, and the monologues in this specific episode were just uninteresting. Like he was trying to cook, but I personally did not think he cooked. I would also say that 90% of Osha's dialogue within the last two episodes consisted of her and someone else walking through the woods, them stopping in their tracks, and then her just spewing out a bunch of nonsense.

I also have not been a fan of the editing of this series, specifically with the transitions from scene-to-scene and with the music. I don't know why it just feels off every time there's a switch in scenes (don't know if anyone else feels the same way). Even the fight scenes contain pretty decent choreography, but the editing just does a number on it imo.

Overall, definitely the best episode so far. I still find the dialogue and characters to be lackluster, but I guess it was a step in the right direction (maybe, idk)
