Andor: “What a Festive Evening” (Season 2, Episode 6)

It was the best of times, it was the bloodiest of times. And for some, it was a very festive evening. 

In our recap of “What A Festive Evening” (S2, E6), we dive into relationships in the Rebellion. Should our Rebels be giving them up for the cause, or clinging to what makes them feel human? We dive deep into engineering ethics and why Dr. Gorst definitely should have suffered more. And we parse whether a show with such a high death toll can still be faulted for Burying Its Gays.
