If Andor released weekly we'd only be on episode 8 right now and people would still be talking about it.
Instead the hardcore fans have already binged and moved on. Normal fans haven't caught up. And the hype is over.
I'm on episode 9 btw.

I know this shouldn’t be my big takeaway from rewatching Train to Busan but it really makes me wish America had better rail systems. Hold the zombie apocalypse, though.

Remember how RDJ said "I am Iron Man" and they played the Black Sabbath song.
He’s gonna do it again and say "I am Doom" and they play this.
