One thing I really love is the role the Republic has had in Andor so far. Maarva's insistent that the Republic will cause the suffering of Cassian's people once they figure out what happened with the crash, and yes it is the Imperial mining operation that ultimately destroys the world, but the Republic still started it. When the Pre-Mor guys come to Ferrix, they're using ships clearly based off of the Republic gunship—five years before the battle of Yavin and you're still seeing Republic influence in Imperial design. The Empire is what the Republic became in the end, and this show isn't letting us forget that.
And I love that the Empire's roots in the Republic are being emphasized like this cause I think it opens up a lot of room for conflict later on especially since the rebellion is officially named "The Alliance to Restore the Republic". People like Mon Mothma are gonna criticize the Empire and argue for the Republic in the same breath while someone like Cassian knows they are one in the same, and I'm really interested in the internal issues and rebellion politics we could see because of it

I know everyone likes to shit on the Virtual World arc for dragging on so long, but it has that Yu-gi-oh charm of just being absurd, and I can't help but be charmed by it.
One of the villains entire motive for being a corporate hater is because Kaiba thinks pandas are the superior black and white animal, because he's a sixteen year old boy in charge of a multi-billion corporation. And now said villain has lost his body, decided to inhabit of the digital avatar of a penguin, and is dueling a teenage girl who has only dueled once in the show before for possession of her body.
Yu-gi-oh is such a good show guys.

I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.
Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.
Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.
And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.
All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.
