Awards - My Top 10 TV Shows of 2022

Awards – My Top 10 TV Shows of 2022

Our previous end-of-year best lists mainly focused on films because there is too much TV to get even close to a definitive list. However, this year there were too many good shows out there not to engage with them.So this year, we will look at all the shows we reviewed last year, SEE HERE, and pick our Top 10 of the 34 shows we reviewed. For a show to count, it needed to end its run or season in…

What kind of work do you think uncle Harlo will get Syril?

honestly idk, it could be anything, but i kind of get the impression that since eedy said that harlo thought syril was never cut out for police work that he doesn’t work for the isb or anything related to security. i also have a crazy theory that harlo might be involved in the mob (or whatever the star wars equivalent is lol) because the way eedy talked about him was kind of strange… “he’ll respect that i waited so long to ask him” just seems like a odd choice of words to talk about your family. but tbh harlo could just end up being a well connected guy who knows somebody who knows somebody who could give syril a job for all i know🤷‍♀️

the point though i think is that syril will be unhappy regardless because his mom is making these decisions without his say, which is why i think their relationship is strained to begin with. he basically has no control over his own life (when at home at least).

Since all the nominations for Emmys, I need one fic where reader is either video calling or with Pedro when nominations are announced. Somethig fluffy and full of emotions cuz Pedro deserves all of this 😊

a/n: this ask skipped the line just cause I felt that if I posted this next week it wouldn't have made as much sense, so yeah here it is (also, I’m so happy for him and Bella, like omg man)

Today was the day.

Pedro was never usually one to care about this stuff, yes he was grateful, and yes he was happy, but no other time had he felt this electricity in the air, this buzz telling him that something was about to happen... something good of course.

He had set up his tablet on the coffee table in front of the couch, waiting for the announcement to start, but he hadn't even managed to sit- he was too nervous, too excited.

A ringing sounded through the room all of a sudden, and after an initial scare, he smiled, glad you finally could call him.

You were on set. In Vancouver. A thousand miles from him.

"Is it on yet?"

Your eagerness spurt through the screen.

And he thought he was exited

"nope"

"what? How much longer?"

He glanced at the screen, feeling a tiny goosebump traveling up his back at the countdown.

"two minutes"

"Oh my god!" You squeaked, smiling so wide your cheeks almost hurt "how are you feeling?"

"nervous" he chuckled drily

"Oh c'mon, what about? We both know you're gonna crush it"

"I hope so" he sighed "God I don't know why I care so much" he laughed "The only important thing is that Bella and the show get nominated"

"And you, of course" you chirped in

He tried to fight a smile, but it still pulled at his lips "Well if there's room..."

"There you are" you nodded, your smile fading ever so little after a brief moment "god I wish I could be there"

"Me too" he agreed "but at least w-" a noise in the direction of the coffee table caught his attention

"Oh shit, it's starting"

"shit, go go go go" you mumbled, feeling all too powerless in your position.

He sat down in front of the screen as the announcers appeared on it.

"what are they saying?"

"uh- just their names and stuff"

"ok-"

A moment passed 

"what about now?"

He laughed, ever so thankful for your presence "Still that, sweetheart"

"fine, just- tell me when they start telling the categories"

"ok ok here we go" 

"what is it?"

"talk series"

"Bo-ring" you huffed, making him chuckle "I want the good stuff"

"they're doing reality programs now"

"oh my god! it's like they want to torture us"

...

"Oh shit" 

A pit created itself in Pedro's stomach

"what?"

"lead actor in a drama series"

"oh my god" you screeched, doing a poor job of trying not to freak out "C'mon baby I know believe in you"

"jeff bridges... Brian cox... Kieran Culkin... Bob Odenkirk..."

come on come on come on

His mouth widened as he let out an incredulous breath.

"baby?" you called, already knowing but wanting a confirmation "baby pl-"

"I got nominated"

"I told you!" You basically screamed, jumping out of your chair "I told you, baby! I'm so happy for you! You deserve all of it babe, all. of. it." 

"I can't believe this" he smiled, his eyes glimmering with that spark in his eyes he only got whenever he was truly happy "This is crazy"

"Well believe it baby, you're an Emmy nominee"

"I just-" he interrupted himself as the next category was announced "shit it's best actresses"

You nodded, trying to cool down while really just mindlessly pacing around your trailer 

"Bella Ramsey!" he laughed "Bella Ramsey! They did it! I knew they fucking would"

"oh my god!" you grinned "What a power couple"

"I know right?" he chuckled "I'll have to call them I-" and once again, the announcers interrupted his train of thought.

His gaze moved from you to the tablet again.

"best drama series?"

He only nodded, clearly all the anxiety coming back.

"Andor... Better call Saul... the crown... House of the Dragon..."

he fell silent as his eyes came back to you, and this time... this time they shined with tears of joy.

"yeah?" you asked, feeling your heart beating out of your chest.

"yeah," nodded.

You felt your heart and chest and body fill with pure joy as you let some tears fall from your eyes.

"you did it baby" you sniffled "I knew you would. You deserve it, all of it" you smiled, wishing with all your heart you were there to hug him and kiss him and whisper in his ear

"How are you feeling?"

He laughed "I don't even know, I just- I think I need time to process this" he smiled, his hands slightly shaking "A-Are you ready to go to the Emmys?"

"are you?" You laughed, quite literally quivering from the excitement

"As ready as I'll ever be"

[jynersq]

thinking about how essentially the very first things we're informed of in the very first episode of andor are cassian's location (preox-morlana corporate zone), and the year (5 bby, before battle of yavin) and how the latter both helpfully situates our main character in time and space, but also starts a timer, starts a countdown, immediately and viscerally quantifies the time he has left, because the end of the story is already written and therefore we know his life is already forfeit: we just don't know the middle bits between here and there. immediately establishing the date reminds us from the outset that no matter what follows, try as we might to pretend that extending the known story means we'll have access to the character forever, try as the show might to distract us with close calls, near-misses, and new characters, there's always a countdown running in the background ticking down down down to zero. from the jump the story is a requiem for a character who is both still alive and already dead

1, 3, 40, 42 😉

hello friend! <3

What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

I'm actually gonna dig back a bit for this one and say Freight Car. This one came about during my brief (and probably final) phase with MCU when Falcon&the Winter Soldier came out, but it's based more around Endgame. But I think it's a good demonstration of my tug-at-any-last-thread-to-jam-some-coherency-out-of-this fic approach to some projects. Or as I put it: 'author uses Falcon and the Winter Soldier to pry closure from the jaws of Endgame' LOL

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

Lately, I think there's a certain undercurrent of destiny that gets teased at, which is the delightful result of Andor's 'start us on the countdown of this character's death' setting. And show choices like pulling Melshi into Cassian's story years before the setting in which we knew of their connection. And the show giving us banger prescient dialogue constantly.

40. Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?

Mostly one-and-done but there are always exceptions and I'll bookmark things that I think I might want to revisit.

42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?

Oh gosh. "Yes" is the short answer. You and your comments that led to Sipo/Mimban fic happening LOL. Any comment that notes a parallel or theme I did not intentionally include where then I'm faced with the 'pretend I knew what I was doing all along' vs 'well that was lucky' response choice. XD One of my old Hamilton AU universes will about once every 18 months get someone who really dives in (it is a beast) and makes my entire life discussing the parts that stood out. And a shoutout not to a comment, but to someone who bookmarked a Hamilton AU where I added a 3rd part (to a forgotten series in a dead fandom lol) 5 & 6 years respectively after parts 1 & 2 with the note that it was the most "humane" thing they'd ever read on AO3. That one will live rent-free in my head forever.

Andor and the unease of evolution

A breakdown of the 6th episode of Andor

Spoilers ahead!

There is a certain sense of morose novelty -

That we get to spend this much amount of time with a person whom we know will die. 

A Greek tragedy.

The Fates have already written his story, and we can't pull or change the thread.

Cassian barely has any agency in this story. He is doomed to die in 5 years. Which means that he is doomed to survive all events before that. No matter if he wants to or not.

When I saw BBY 5 in the very first episode, I seriously got chills. But mainly because Cassian's whole path leads to the destruction of the Death Star and the Battle of Yavin. BBY 5 in this context says: This man has five years left to live. It's a countdown to his death and one of the greatest sacrifices the rebellion has ever seen. 

Before the Heist, we see a very specific and context-driven Cassian. He has already lost the lustre for the Rebellion. He is like Jyn when we meet her at the beginning of Rogue One.

For him, the lofty ideals and goals of Rebellion are basically like fairy tales - fake bullshit fed to kids to shut them up. Meeting Nemik, he is mostly amused by him (before Nemik proves him wrong and showcases just how smart, capable, and valuable he is to the mission). He thinks he can recognize the kind of ‘revolutionary’ Nemik is, and he is keen on proving Nemik wrong - the tiny group of 7 is no match for the might of the Empire, and it’s wrong for Nemik to think that he is of any value or thought to them.

For Cassian to come clean about his motivation to complete the Heist is another character-driven moment for him. When Karis Nemik was trying to accept and rationalize “not playing by the rules” and accepting a mercenary’s help at the beginning of the episode from an ideological standpoint.

:readmore:

Choice vs action -

For Cassian, it was never a choice. We see that in Rogue One itself. He was colonized when he was 6, (we don’t even know what happened to his parent figures). He has been in this fight without his autonomy. He was stolen from his homeworld, was propagandised to kill the wrong people, and finally deserted to survive. He did not have the luxury to choose when and where he cared about things - whether it be his survival or his hatred for the empire.

We don’t know much about Nemik’s background, but we can guess. Clearly, this is Karis’s first bit (and last bit) of actual action as a Rebel, at least on this scale. We knew that he had been collecting ways to take down the empire, we knew that he had been writing and thinking about Freedom, Liberty and Justice. To equate, he could have been a college-going armchair revolutionist, who finally decided to join the protests after one too many innocent people had gotten killed. 

He’s an intellectual who was finally radicalized, whereas Cassian had no choice but to be radical, and yet conservative in how to express and visualize his own distaste for the empire.

Cassian knows the value and even importance of anonymity. Like he said to Luthen, the very reason why he was so good at stealing from the empire was his ability to disappear, and of course, the Empire’s utter arrogance and ignorance. 

For him, staying anonymous is key for both his survival, and for his success in the future.

The importance of perspective -

One of the favourite things I liked about Karis and Cassian is that they allowed each other to be challenged by their own perspective - they both knew and acknowledged that the reasons behind why they believed what they believed was because of lived experience and circumstances.

For Karis to swallow his perspective of Cassian from ‘true believer’ to ‘gun-for-hire’, by spinning it as a ‘necessary step forward’ for the Rebellion, and for Cassian to admit to Karis that yes, idealism was important for the movement, is why Nemik insisting that Cassian got the manifesto is a key moment.

Karis is trying to accept and rationalize “not playing by the rules” and accepting a mercenary’s help at the beginning of the episode from an ideological standpoint. He’s trying to work backwards from a new conclusion: that allowing mercenaries to fight the Imperials is important for success. 

For Cassian to tell him the truth about the Empire - that they not only don’t care to learn about those who oppress, but they don’t even learn about those who stand against them - and for Nemik to genuinely listen and absorb this vital insight into who Cassian is (at this moment, a gun-toting merc), still insists that the Rebels must blow the horns and alert the Empire.

We know from trailer footage that Cassian eventually does go back to Ferris, and I think that’s where he’ll finally realize why it’s actually a good idea to show the Empire a face to attack - otherwise, innocents might get caught in the crossfire. Not only are his friends and family now under Imperial Rule, but so are the Dani people - already broken and struggling to fight in their own way. All these people got affected, but without their consent.

For Nemik to insist that Cassian get his manifesto is essentially his way of recruiting Cassian to the Cause - he sees and recognizes Cassian’s true identity - beyond who he has made himself to be to survive and skim away from the Empire. 

Idealism vs survialism -

To lose Nemik and to kill Skeen in the same episode is to show how Cassian is going to 

evolve from the nameless mercenary we see in the first episode to the Rebel Captain we see in Rogue One.

One showed him that idealism is good. Important. Different perspectives away from himself are key for his growth.

By killing Skeen, Cassian has finally evolved from the need to raise above by pulling others 

down. He recognizes the idea that he was the closest to Skeen in his actions; that’s why Skeen decided to try and rope him in before just simply killing him or even leaving him behind along with Vel.

By losing Nemik, he now has the responsibility to imbibe his idealism within himself. 

The Eye heist is a key experience for Cassian. For him to lose the idealist Nemik, who we might guess was someone who didn't really need to bother himself with ideas of Rebellion on such a large scale and to inherit his idealism with the manifesto.

And him so coldly and ruthlessly killing Skeen - the mercenary who thought the only way to lift yourself up is by standing on the heads of others. Cassian essentially killed that part of himself. The final crumb of calculated survivalism that he was holding on to. Because, as Luthen said in 1x4, he knew that if he loses that last bit of self-preservation, he is gone. He will die fighting the Empire.

Where are we flying next?

But, inheriting Nemik's manifesto, and thus inheriting Nemik's idealism, Cassian is now on the road to not dying fighting the Enemy, but dying fighting for the Rebellion. For hope.

The change is an internal one, not an external one. That is why we are going to spend so much time with him.

I am extremely invested to see how he is going to change further.

Onwards to the next arc!

Cinematography That Made You Go Wow in 2022!

Cinematography is an art form that can be as bold as a gong crashing after a moment of silence or as subtle as the tide coming in. It elevates a film to the heights of accolades or becomes frustrating when it misfires.While at the heart of cinematography is the Director of Photography or Cinematographer, to get something from the script to the final shot takes a whole team of professionals, and…
