Andor – Episode 6

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Andor – Episode 6
  • IMDb: link

The sixth episode of Andor finally gets to the heist, although the show’s method of drawing events out unnecessarily continues even during the heist itself often flashing to events elsewhere on the military base or with the locals amassing to view the celestial event. The choice would seem to be done in attempt to draw out the tension of events even longer. However, the result is actually the opposite as editing of the episode continually undercuts and distracts from the events the show has finally gotten around to delivering. If Andor was a comic book series it would be a three-issue story stretched thinly over an entire year’s run where you could easily miss two or three months at a time and still have no trouble staying caught up with the story.

While it might not have been the strongest of Legacies four seasons, the final season does pay off on the promise introduced in The Originals with the death of Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) and the rebirth of the Tribrid who kills Malivore, and Landon (Aria Shahghasemi), and unlocks the final third of her powers when she comes back as a vampire. Most of the season plays on the fallout of Hope’s reemergence who returns without her humanity becoming a dangerous frenemy to the school for most of the season.

  • Title: The Umbrella Academy – Wedding at the End of the World
  • IMDb: link

In the calm prior to the final two episodes of the season, with nearly the entire world swallowed up by nothingness, Luther (Tom Hopper) and Sloane (Genesis Rodriguez) decide to get married. The episode offers us a bachelor party, the wedding and reception, and a nice family moment that even Ben (Justin H. Min) gets let into. We also see Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) remain a bitch and refuse to reconcile with Viktor (Elliot Page), and a drunken Five (Aidan Gallagher) gets a glimpse of something which will impact the final two episodes of the season, the journey into the Hotel Oblivion, and beyond. Aside from the fact the all reality is ending, it’s a fun and lighthearted episode, although dark times aren’t far away.
