OOC Cantina / Re: Andor Season 2

See, this is where I think the truncated seasons hurts the show - what we got here with Luthen and Kleya's relationship building toward the inevitable ending/action she would need to perform in service to the cause would have been far more beautifully spun over the course of a season, weaving their history in and out, which would then make the outcome hit much harder. Not that it didn't - it absolutely did.
Kleya is a badass - never underestimate what a gal can do with just an outfit change. Once I saw her in those heeled ankle boots gathering herself in the empty safehouse for what must be done, I was like, yeah, girl. Yeah. You got this. You can do this.
I very much enjoyed the banter between Dedra and Luthen, she almost came off as likeable for a moment, but we all know better.
Previously, I was a bit disappointed with how they handled Bix, so I'm hoping they may tie something up with the last two episodes. I thought it was kind of cheap to have her just bounce, without even a pregnancy reveal or something equally dramatic. We never got to see her heal or be swallowed by the trauma - but it did look like she pulled herself out of it, made a chill life with our boy despite the rising rebellion, but ultimately knew his focus would be split if she stayed. It didn't ring as much of agency as I would have liked, but sad boy Andor is a dangerous Andor.
Excited to see how they end this!
