Jung is subverting off screen (my read was he tipped luthen about his own operative who somehow infiltrated bail s team), the bald guy in the control room is Lagret (and not turned rebel AFAICT). Confusing indeed
In the episode "Messenger" it seems to me the writers are leaning on the quasi-religious theme by drawing an oblique comparison between Cassian Andor and John the Baptist, who is described thusly in the book of Mark: "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way."
In the Bible account, John was tragically killed, but his death paved the way for Jesus to become the savior of mankind. Similarly Andor was tragically killed, but his death paved the way for Luke Skywalker to become the savior of the galaxy.
We're so back! Feels like the Andor that was promised is here, finally.
Really flexing your encyclopedic knowledge here, Dan. I love it! I had no idea Davits Draven was someone we'd seen before. I really enjoyed getting that bit of context on Janus Metz, too. Can totally see how having that background and experience translates to a lights-out episode 8.
I'm very curious to see where they go with the final arc. This one felt really tight and very fitting as an ending already. Definitely hoping for a lot of Luthen and I'm pretty sure we'll get it but I love how there's still a lot of room for other stories.
Thanks for the shout-out regarding my knowledge. Certainly, there are few instances where my childhood investment in Star Wars trivia can be utilized and this is one of those.

Good to know, and glad to hear that we had the same read on what was going on with Jung and his role in the escape.

The Force works in mysterious ways?
That's an excellent insight. I'm an ex-Christian, so my knowledge of these details gets more limited each year, but I can totally see the comparison.
