Same - I only watched ep 10 yesterday and will space the others out this week before settling in with a R1 rewatch to cap it off.
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!
Since you haven't see it all, I will do my best to avoid spoilers.
I will say this: I liked the last three arcs, and I really enjoyed those episodes.
I did not like episodes 1, 2, 3, - that Andor went on a mission is cool, but didn't add to the story. If there was a whole season of micro-missions, it might have made sense, but for a whole arc on stealing a fighter (which by the way, didn't show up in later episodes, so it didn't move the story forward), seemed like a waste, especially since that is the only thing we saw him do that entire year. That Mon Mothma married off her daughter was yes, a continuation from season 1, but again, that was it.
If year 1 had been a full season, we'd have seen when her close childhood friend mysteriously died in a tragic accident, and Mon Mothma grieving over it, and feeling conflicted for the role she had in his death. Nope, just skip ahead.
Bix - Bix got her revenge (episode 6, I think). But in 4 years, that was the only affirmative thing she did. In 1-3, she was waiting for Andor, in 4-6, she was, in the safehouse, largely, waiting for Andor, in 7-9, she was on Yavin, yup, waiting for Andor. We know she was dealing with PTSD. But that doesn't cover half of what she did. We assume she had recovered enough that between 6 and 7, she was out on missions, helping set up Yavin, something. But no narrative follow up there. Just the next bounce to a year later
The same is true of the remaining arcs. There was so much reaction we didn't get to see; follow up after the Ghorman massacre (or even lead up to the Ghorman massacre).
The last three episodes - again, no spoilers - were satisfying because we know there is a continuation, we know exactly what happens next (Rogue 1, ANH, etc.).
And I liked how they resolved certain characters, and also resolved some characters without killing them off. The rebellion is far and wide and many players, etc. etc.
But I would have invested in five years of watching five seasons, and wanted to see more.
