Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I watched OFMD over the weekend (DH and son are away, so I can actually watch things). I am glad that I went in knowing it was renewed.
I will bet a shiny nickel that:
1) A lot of that writers room has written fic at some point or other
2) Lucius is not fucking dead.
2a) Secret passages are involved.
3) If they get to end the series on their own terms, there will be an immense amount of fuckery, fake deaths, and sailing off into the sunset...errr...rise.
I have also read all the contemporaneous comments here and need to stretch my neck from all the nodding.

They definitely introduced "fuckery" early on to slip around the historical record.
I mean, even if you get into Anne Bonny's actual history the record suggests fuckery.

Beeee! Best droid ever, and the only one that people actually treat like a person with feelings.
Mon Mothma's outfit in that last scene! HOLY SHIT. I really need a longass video essay on the costume design on this show.
It was all so good. I cannot believe how good this show is. It makes me happy to have it in the world.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Andor comment shamelessly stolen from Mastodon, but one I 100000% agree with: When I die, bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Three episodes in, and Wednesday is easily exceeding my low expectations.
I do hate how fucking padded these Netflix shows are, though.

I finally saw the end of Andor. I loved it. Great character arcs, and an older woman got to have a major scene (albeit after death).

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Agreed. You would think streaming would give a lot more freedom for both episode count and episode length than we see. Let the show runners take whatever time they need to tell each particular story they want to tell instead of trying to force them into a specific running time.
Wheel of Time had the opposite problem: a lot of the episodes could use an extra 10 minutes to let things breathe. (Though it sounds like they may be getting that for season 2.)
