I thought here Emperor Georgiou with golden armour and red gem decorated sword was weirdly reminiscent of 40k, but c’mon that’s practically Alpha Legion there with the hydra tattoo and cybernetics.
I was going to mention “you could’ve also said ‘first Star Trek since Enterprise to end’” but then I realized I forgot about Picard.
I was going to ask “But what about Prodigy” but that hasn’t actually aired its second season yet.
So yeah, first Star Trek show since The Animated Series to end without having Two Takes Frakes, even though I feel that having him on the director’s chair should count.
I’m glad Doug Jones is more comfortable in the softer make-up now.
I’m a bit embarrassed, but I didn’t realize that Doug Jones had his own stunt double. I thought he was a stunt actor given his many roles under heavy prosthetics.
Nah, Andor was the one Star Wars show that was good despite being Star Wars—as in if you take out all the brand specific stuff you still have an amazingly written story about building a revolution, cynicism, and the disenfranchized standing up to change. It didn’t rely on nostalgia or power fantasy. If the same director gave its own “One way out”/“I can’t swim” or “to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see” moment to Star Trek, it’d rank in the top of Star Trek too.
