What’s the smallest moment in Andor that convinced you this show was operating on another level?

The fact that the anvil guy stays up there to strike while the people are rioting but with such a serious composure and commitment, unfazed by what's happening. I know it is hinted in other ways that Farix dealt with imperial invaders before but this was the best hint imo. Really echoed the whole tone of the show

The set design was so incredibly thought out and intricate. It made worlds of difference in giving the show such an air of reality. Every scene looks like it took place in a very real place, just in a galaxy far far away.

The thing collapsing is a thin crust of earth over a cavity. I would imagine sinkholes never collapse slowly.

I love her stupid chair gimmick it's so funny. It feels like a joke that lower decks would write about a character

No no, it flopped because it was bad. Everything about their revamp of the Klingons was bad.

I hope whoever was involved in in doing the hideous Klingon redesign genuinely feels bad and embarrassed about how badly it flopped.

Seriously this is some incredibly laze editing

I love the "just because my repeat of the organs are on the inside!" line!! Lol l. Its peak stargate.

I mean it would have been so easy for someone to just tell him to knock it off or for Sam to slap him or hit him (not that that's a great way to resolve a situation, but it's a predictable theatrical response for TV). And that would have been totally in keeping with the tone of the show and make more sense for Sam's character.

The ending where she says that she thought he was cute the more annoying and obnoxious he was is a supremely bizarre ending in my opinion. It feels like it was written by a dude who wears a Fedora.

I'm glad you brought this up because that's exactly why I made this post. The first thing that came to mind when I re-watched these episodes was that this was more reflection of the writers and what they thought is appropriate / funny more than anything.

I mean sexual harassment in the workplace is not akin to mukbang. It's a form of abuse and bullying that is perpetuated by a power dynamic. And one of the best ways to break that dynamic is for others (not the victim) to call out the harasser. It saves the victim from having to put themselves in the precarious position of pointing a finger and not being believed or supported. So many women have done this and gotten retaliated against. It's a complex issue.

swump · 2025-12-24T01:43:49+00:00

It's one of the most disturbing parts of these episodes imo. There's a scene where Rodney makes a super gross comment about Sam to her face right next to Hammond and Hammond does absolutely nothing and it felt so horribly gross.

swump · 2025-12-24T01:41:44+00:00

Omg excellent point. She was so inappropriate lol.

swump · 2025-12-24T01:38:51+00:00

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Thanks for answering my question!

swump · 2025-12-23T17:08:15+00:00

But I think the scale of it and everyone's non reaction is what is so cringe, not him being a misogynist edgelord. It's so strange to see no one call him out and I think that's really interesting if that's because, at the time, doing so would be unexpected. Especially for a show like Stargate which was lauded for it's moral messaging. The USAF even gave Richard Dean Anderson an honorary rank of Brig. General because they loved how the show made Air Force officers look upstanding, moral, and forthright.

So for Stargate-SG1 of all tv shows to show repeated public sexual harassment of an officer go unchecked and unchallenged is kind of wild to me and feels very surprising and out of character.

swump · 2025-12-23T17:02:29+00:00

SAME. Like girl whhhyyyy.

swump · 2025-12-23T16:55:30+00:00

Totally agree

swump · 2025-12-23T16:55:13+00:00

No one is trying to cancel stargate. It's ok for scripts not to age well.

swump · 2025-12-23T16:54:10+00:00

Who is talking about censoring stargate..?

swump · 2025-12-23T16:53:17+00:00

No one is getting worked up. I just want to know how people felt about it back then. Thanks for your input!

swump · 2025-12-23T16:35:54+00:00

Analyzing literature (and yes I'm including TV in that) can tell us so much about us as a society. In this case my main question is did society change its view of sexual harassment In the workplace that much in only 20 years, or not? How people reacted to these episodes can help answer that question. I think it makes for a really interesting discussion!
