Narkina 5

Yes.

Previously on Andor, we finally escaped for Narkina 5.

Luthenrael told us about how he made his mind a sunless place and scared the shit out of Lani.

But now it's time to kick off episode 11, which, Rusty, and holy shit, we only have two episodes left of season one.

So we start with our Andor logo, which I feel like it's very jaunty music-wise.

It's almost at its full evolution, which makes sense for what's going to happen later in the episode.

Yes, back on Narkina 5, we find Melshi and Cassian are hanging out, literally hanging on the side of a rocky cliff.

trying to avoid the Empire patrol ship looking for escapees.

It's fully James Bond.

Oh, I was thinking Narkina 5 in Andor.

[laughs]

I don't know that.

[laughs]

Oh, okay.

Narkina 5 from Andor, deep cut for everybody out there.

Um, Liz, do you get the reference?

And it doesn't seem like they interact very much, but they're all-- There's like a leaderboard and whatnot.

Like just like in "Andor" with Narkina 5 Prison, like they're all probably in competition with each other.

Uh, but again, it's all to keep everything like balanced out and like this is how you have a 1% that can rule over a 99%, is you keep them all in somewhat of a tension/competition with each other so that they're not all united against you, [chuckles] right? Um, they're able to maintain so much control through just social reinforcement and social engineering.

They don't need violence, they don't need like, you know-

So yeah, let's, let's hop in, uh, where we left off last week.

Previously on Andor, uh, the great escape from Narkina 5 kicked off.

Uh, we lost Saul and Burnok.

RIP.

Yep.

And following the words of Natasha Bedingfield, the prisoners of Narkina 5 released their inhibitions and have felt the rain on their skin-

[laughs]

... or rather toilet water.
