Honestly, the last episode of Andor was so fucking great, and it’s all in the eyes.
Bix’s eyes as the torture helmet is slipped into her head and the horror slowly crashes over her. I love that they didn’t include the sound and just let us as the viewers imagine it as we looked into her eyes.
Derdra’s eyes as Syril grabs her outside of her work, a place where she’s supposed to be powerful and in control of everything, and he’s not letting her go.
Kino Loy’s eyes as the news comes filtering through about what happened on Level Two, how he’s scared shitless, but knows that he has to keep it together for the sake of his guys, because if he loses it, then his whole team will lose it too, and then they’ll all get fried. How he insists that as long as they keep playing the game correctly, everything will be fine and they’ll all get out eventually.
Kino’s eyes as Ulaf dies and the medic tells him exactly what happened on Level Two, when he realizes that the game has been rigged all along and that he’s never going to get out and see his family again. How he silently makes the choice to throw his lot in with Cassian and damn the consequences.
It’s just such fucking good acting, and it’s SUCH A FUCKING GOOD SHOW.
