Cyril sets a trap and the Cassians escape

This post contains the destroyers of this week's episode Andonow streaming on Disney+.

Deciding that compression was once the meaning of four seasons Ando There is no bumpyness of it, including in three episodes of this week. The character arc feels rushed or insufficient, especially with the Cassian and Bix this week. Many important events and growths have to happen off-screen, such as Cyrill learning to play spy with Ghorman's resistance. Sometimes, like the scene this week when the Force Therapist called Cassian "Messenger," the series became somewhat focused on moving towards events Rogue Onerather than considering its greater thematic focus on how fascism rises and the moral cost of fighting it.

That being said, these plots (written by Dan Gilroy and directed by Janus Metz) are easily the high point of Season 2 and one of the most effective parts of the entire series. They are dark, unparalleled, exciting, asking and answering many of the biggest and most powerful questions of the show.

In the first few weeks of the season, their various stories spread across all three episodes, and this week we basically got a two that brought the Ghorman arc to a climax, followed by the end of Mon Mothma at the end of the Imperial Senate era. Changing the structure according to the needs of the story is a wise move, rather than stringing things up on Ghorman, as there are three hours to play.

We opened for about a year later. A lot of things have happened. Yavin base is up and running and is served by some familiar faces like Alistair Petrie as General Draven. The Rebel Alliance evolved from a spy ring managed by Luthen to a military operation similar to that Luke Skywalker joined two years later. But change is tough, and there is tension between the people who run this more organized rebellion and Luthen, with Cassian and Bix falling into the middle. After working with Luthen and Kleya for more than three years, Cassian was burned and made his return trip to Ghorman as his well-known "last job" before he and Bix tried to find a peaceful place to take the rest of their lives, no matter what happened to the rebellion.

Again, it's too much to depend on the audience filling the emotional gap between the arcs. Bix's decision to escape Yavin in the third episode of episode escaping the Cassians to keep doing the necessary work wasn't particularly profitable, as the writers barely gave Adria Arjona any pain.

But once Cassian reaches Ghorman, everything is on the rails, because we have been for the tragedy since Krennic brought Dedra.

While some members of the resistance movement like Rylanz can be said the Empire is setting them up as bad things

Syril succeeded in making young leaders feel overconfident. They went straight into the fake flag operation set up by Dedra, where it looked like a resistance attack on the power of the empire, thus demonstrating every harsh action against the planets that followed.

Once, someone other than Admiral Akba said, “This is a trap!” What is inevitable will happen makes the sequence of the city square feel very nervous and painful before Dedra reluctantly orders the Imperial sniper to fire at the crowd. Rylanz and others have blatantly taken the French resistance as an example in World War II, and the scene of gathered citizens singing the Ghorman anthem greatly evoked the famous scene.

All French refugees sang "La Marseillaise", flooding the Nazis of Rick's Cafe. In this case only, the Nazis were preparing a version of the scene where the machine gun was prepared for everyone in the bar.

The only mistake in the Holocaust sequence was Synil, even though these were two wonderful moments. First is when he realizes that there is never any external mixer and his girlfriend tricks him into doing something horrible. The second is when he faces the Cassians, and Cassian doesn't know who he is, just as Javert spent years chasing a completely forgotten Jean Valjean. In between the two, however, Sirill’s discovery on Earth weakens the moment he realizes he is a villain, not a hero, because before him he must be an outside agitator who looks like him. (It's OK, Syril has been the agitator all along.) Kyle Soller was so brilliant in the early realization moment, a character moment that the series had carefully built nearly two seasons before being abandoned because Syril could take into account all the hatred that could have been killed by Syril. Then he was killed, not forced to live with everything he did to Gorman. Gilory, Metz and the company also used fearful use of KX security robots, and the use of fleeing citizens by the Imperial Forces seems particularly unfair and cruel. When the transport crashed into the transport that was about to kill him, the Cassians were lucky and dragged him with his deactivated machine to Yavin, then reprogrammed it as our crafty old friend K2SO and expressed again by Alan Tudyk. After Cassian escape, we never really saw what happened to Ghorman. On one level, it feels like compressing the story into another kind of casualty in one season. On the other hand, we already know most of the things that will happen are just based on Krennic and his fool telling Dedra and ISB at the start of the season. Perhaps the Gorman people will be surrounded by concentration camps in other worlds. Maybe they will be forced to stay on the planet, watch helplessly at the Imperial Mines and eventually destroy everything. Given that the fruits of this labor will result in the weapons being used for destruction

Except for the planet. But this is the next two years for these characters. Currently, bail has a chance to be alive and good, and there provides Montmasma with the public, resisting the Senate's challenge, and pretending to be strongly opposed to everything the Empire does and represents. There are two separate tensions at the end of the week: Can Mon deliver her speech, and can Cassian keep her alive? Because both Mon and Cassian are alive

Rogue One (After that, Mon), the latter question should not be so suspenseful. Still, it creates proper anxiety, in large part because Genevieve O'Reilly makes Mon's fear so obvious. Although she has cut a lot of fall-out deals to help fund Luxen’s work, she has never been part of a practical mission, nor has she ever seen people witnessed people being shot in front of her, even to keep her safe. Because she seems to be scared, it's scary, even if we know rationally that they will all do it. Iron Star Wars Meanwhile, fans also know she is actually speaking and broadcast throughout the Empire. This hour's incident directly led to

The series is called "Secret Cargo", and the ghost's crew watches the speech, which later helps Mon on the next phase of his journey to Yavin. But whether you've watched that episode or not, it's encouraging to see so many different people using council procedures to arrange her speech to the maintenance staff locking the control room for as long as possible.

The speech itself is an impressive remark, like many seasons of this season, it feels too relevant in this galaxy at this point, especially when Mon began to discuss things like the Empire used to get rid of the destruction of Gorman, Mon started to discuss the lack of attitude.

"The distance between what is said and what is real has become an abyss," she declared. "Of all the things that are at risk, losing objective reality is probably the most dangerous. Death of fact is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us - when we let it slip away, when it tear it off from our hands, we become susceptible to any monster's screaming appetite."

Hot stories She even managed to speak to Palpatine by name, as monsters, they would be before the Empire can finally turn off the signal and escape the route with Cassian. We know what will happen to Palpatine in the end - at least until he returns somehow - Cassian and K2SO. near

Ando may become more and more surprised when he reaches its end. But for the huge group of this episode, the series doesn’t require real surprises to tell its story in a spectacular, devastating way.
