Did Leida’s husband/fiancé/fellow-child-marriage-victim ever actually speak? Like did he have any lines at all?
Friends, Bix was always a trope.
She was The Hero’s Ex who he Still Had Feelings for, her boyfriend was Conveniently Disposed Of, she was involved in the rebellion just enough to get Captured By The Villain, so that the hero could mount a Daring Rescue.
Why would that have changed in season 2?
This debate over what Mon Mothma’s speech was commentary on irl annoys me so…
It could have been about a lot of things. It was about one thing.
Fascism.
The Empire is Space Fascists. Space Nazis.
And one of the most famous and obvious examples of a massive propaganda campaign - aka ‘the loss of an objective truth’ - is Nazi Germany.
See this…
and this…
and finally…
Anyone else this speech made you think of is either heading down or has already arrived at the end of a dangerous road.
The Empire are Space Nazis.
Louder for the people in the back: THE EMPIRE ARE SPACE NAZIS.
Whatever else they are, whatever representations of more modern evils they might be used as, The Empire was created to be Space Nazis.
Me just now realizing the implications of a man whose people were massacred by space NAZIS saying a JEWISH phrase…

One of the nice touches during Mon Mothma’s escape from the senate building after her speech is that she quietly sheds her coat of office, because of how noticeable and cumbersome it would be. Practical but also coming after, in her speech, she observed that she came to coruscant and the senate as a child and has few memories of significance prior to that, and how deep her bond is to the senate and her service, it was somewhat poignant and sobering.

"Rebellions are built on hope."
1) I may have teared up a little hearing the hotel clerk say that
2) He demonstrates that rebellions are also built on small, everyday acts of resistance. Not logging Cassian into the system allowed him to evade Imperial scrutiny, which then allowed him to witness what happened on Ghorman, which sets off a series of events that eventually leads to the Battle of Yavin and the destruction of the Death Star.
they said the thing.
rebellions are built on hope.
little does that hotel worker know how that will carry down to the destruction of the death star.

SUPER controversial statement, but sometimes characters do exist to further other characters’ storylines.
That’s how stories work.
These are not real people.
P. S. I’m not saying there isn’t definitely a ‘bury your gays’ or ‘fridge your wives’ problem, but when a show has multiple examples of gays/wives and ONE dies or pretty much every single character including the protagonist will die by the end…c’mon. Pick something else to hate a good story over.
This episode is annoying me for a number of reasons but the pure burning rage I felt when that pathetic man child dissed the Brigadier was the peak of it
What do you think it would have taken for Parker to kill or paralyze Bligh (no idea how to spell her name lol)? Like, if Astrid weren’t there I kind of genuinely believe that Parker would have done a lot worse, but Sophie was still in the room so she probably wouldn’t have killed her, you know?
Oooh good question! I agree that if Astrid and Sophie weren't there she would've done a lot worse, though I also think it's dependent on how much Bligh injured Sophie. Like if Sophie had been actually physically injured, even so much as like just a little beat up, a few bruises, maybe a split lip, I think Parker would've hurt her more, though I don't think Parker would kill Bligh over a black eye. But if Sophie had been any more injured? Then Parker would've killed Bligh. Even if Astrid and Sophie were there to watch, they wouldn't have been able to hold her back.
what's fun about the trickster in sja is that for all he claims to love chaos, what he actually poses is the threat of normality. sarah is weird. both as a person, and for someone of her age - she skipped all the typical milestones of adulthood; she never married, never had kids, you get the idea. what does the trickster present her with? an alternate version of reality where her life is normal. in whatever happened to sarah jane?, sarah is literally replaced by a woman who lives in her house but acts far more like what you'd expect from a woman her age. in the temptation of sarah jane smith, sarah is presented with the opportunity to replace her childhood as an orphan raised by her aunt with a childhood raised by her parents. the wedding of sarah jane smith speaks for itself - an opportunity to replace a life spent perennially single with marriage. crucially, each of these occasions is a path to certain destruction - course correcting her life to be normal will literally destroy the world. the trickster is an outside force threatening to impose social expectations on sarah's life; it is perhaps telling that it is otherworldly forces, in particular the doctor - long a symbol of nonconformity and weirdness - that counteract and ward off the trickster. the trickster is tempting because he offers what seems like a better life. but equally, the trickster only has power over reality if you let him.
“Mon is not fully committed to the Cause yet, she hasn't given up her life and enjoys her status quo—” Mon Mothma is doing money laundry to fund terrorist activity/organization. Do people understand that? I think it's important people understand that.
from the perspectives of Imperial auditors and financial regulators that’s literally what she’ll be charged with if she’s caught. Slush fund accounts and blaming Perrin's gambling and strategic child marriages only cover her tracks until the right financial regulator goes looking; until one civil servant with the same amount of Freak as Syril Karn decides to go after discrepancies and she no longer can paper over the cracks. She's being observed by her own driver. She's got enemies everywhere, yearly financial audits, and multiple obligations to powerful people. She's borrowing time with a highest interest rate known to man and she will have to pay that debt with everything she holds dear.
Mon has long been radicalised; she's put everything on the line as down payment for it. She just puts up a front so well it’s apparently tricked the audience.
Moreover, the political thesis of the show is that resistance is everywhere; it’s an old lady clearing the underground rain tunnels for potential rebels as well as it is manifestos and prison breaks and overt attacks on Imperial buildings.
It’s also one person in the heart of the imperial core committing stunning amounts of financial crime.

You watch the Pitt because you like Noah Wyle from ER. I watch the Pitt because I like Noah Wyle as the weird ass lawyer in the reboot of an early 2000s tv show about criminals who con billionaires. We are not the same.

Leverage Con Names
This a list of all the cons/scams/grifts that the Leverage team names during the show. Included is everything from a small one-on-one interaction between a grifter and a mark (eg. Little Orphan Annie) to full blown multilevel integrated cons (eg. The White Rabbit). If it had a name, it’s here.
If it has a black star beside it, it has a canon explanation or demonstration (eg. The Moonwalking Bear). If it has a white star, there were hints or comparisons made about it (eg. The Apple Pie is “like the Cherry Pie, but with lifeguards”). If it’s hyperlinked, it’s a real life scam and the link is to Wikipedia. If it’s totally unmarked, then the name was mentioned but never elaborated upon and is a part of the team’s beautiful argot. :)
