It’s quite likely that the character of Saw Gerrera, portrayed by Forest Whitaker in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (which serves as inspiration for the series “Andor” and sets the narrative direction), wasn’t designed for us to admire. This rebel leader is depicted as more machine-like than human, with metallic legs, an oxygen mask, and a haunting gaze that hints at paranoia and danger. The name Saw Gerrera bears a striking resemblance to Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, but the way he was portrayed in “Rogue One” seemed more like a critique than a tribute.

Initially, Cardinal Becciu from Italy wasn’t considered a potential candidate for this conclave like Tremblay, but he was once a frontrunner to become pope due to his close relationship with Pope Francis. However, in 2020, Pope Francis asked Becciu to step down from his cardinal duties over allegations of embezzlement concerning a London-based church real estate investment. He was indicted in the Vatican court in 2021 and found guilty in 2023. Despite this, Becciu maintains that he is the target of a conspiracy and intends to challenge the verdict. Recently, he attended the pre-conclave proceedings, asserting that the pope had not officially revoked his right to vote. (Once more, the term “Conclave” broke the story first.)

In September 2018, I shared a piece in the New York publication regarding the mental health issue within prisons. Impulsively, I contacted a producer I knew from CNN, Loen Kelley, to see if she could facilitate a segment where we could discuss this crisis. Our connection was through her website, PrisonWriters.com. In 2001, at the age of 24, I took a life on a Brooklyn street and was sentenced to serve 25 years to life, in addition to the three years I had already been serving for drug dealing. Over time, I found myself at Attica, where I joined a writing workshop and developed an interest in journalism. Loen and I had exchanged professional conversations before, and I believed she was looking out for me.

To clarify, you currently have nine chances left to earn top marks for the group-chat glory. After using up these nine tries, feel free to go back and complete any squares that you might’ve skipped due to confusion about Willem Dafoe playing Aquaman again (he didn’t) or Lupita Nyong’o being in The Woman King (she withdrew before filming). These additional guesses won’t boost your score, but it gives you the pleasure of a well-filled grid.

Maya seems to believe it’s a mix of nostalgia, tackiness, sarcasm, and foolishness that might be at play. She ponders if they should kiss again, but Matt reminds her that they had agreed not to do so anymore, given their history and Matt’s tendency to engage romantically with colleagues, as hinted in the previous episode. (This fresh piece of information about their past, although not entirely unexpected considering Matt’s behavior, is now being brought to light.)

In his statement, John Derderian, Netflix’s vice-president of animation series, expressed that “Big Mouth” pioneered the realm of adult cartoons by combining emotion, comedy, and utter pandemonium. He explained how they transformed the discomfort of adolescence into a relatable and profoundly human experience for viewers. Furthermore, he shared his delight in collaborating with Nick Kroll and the exceptionally creative team at Brutus Pink throughout the eight seasons of this groundbreaking series, describing their partnership as legendary.

In a letter, Loen introduced me to two producers from HLN, a network that specializes in true-crime shows and is related to CNN. Their colleagues subsequently paid me a visit, mentioning that their program centered around redemption, with Chris Cuomo expressing an interest in discussing my journey towards becoming a journalist while incarcerated. During my trial, there were some sensationalized articles in the tabloids due to the similarity of my name to the deceased Beatle, but overall, my case received little attention from the media. Given that I had already served 18 years, which is the average time served for murder in America, it was not difficult for me to assume that Cuomo wanted to highlight my second chance. Prior to their visit, I had asked my brother to find a docuseries hosted by Cuomo aside from his nightly CNN show. One of them was titled “Inside Evil.

Almost every child from the same elementary school class in the small town of Maybrook vanish simultaneously one night, leaving the community puzzled about who or what could be responsible for their disappearance, as hinted by the logline of the movie Weapons. However, according to director Cregger, there’s a lot more to the story than just the missing children. The mystery surrounding the kids serves as the driving force for the first half of the film, but it doesn’t define the entire movie. As he explained to Entertainment Weekly, the movie will evolve and take unexpected turns, delving into uncharted territories. While the question of the children’s disappearance remains unanswered, it’s not the central focus of the entire film. By the halfway point, the narrative shifts to events far more bizarre than that.

It seems that Cassian’s intentions are clear – he wishes to spend some time with Bix at home. However, Luthen’s interference disrupts their temporary semblance of a peaceful home life in their hideout apartment, which offers a lovely view as Luthen had noted earlier. It appears that Luthen had been secretly checking on Bix without informing him, an action that Cass recognizes could create an awkward situation when he eventually learns about it. Even if Bix tries to minimize the intrusiveness, possibly due to her desire to protect her own vulnerability, Cass is visibly upset and storms into Luthen’s antiquities store to address this matter directly. This confrontation leaves both characters agitated.

Cass carries out his duties in a rather grumpy manner. Disguised as a humorous fashion designer, he converses with a hotel employee who experienced a brutal massacre sanctioned by Grand Moff Tarkin during her childhood (the very same Tarkin). He then connects with Carro and Enza Rylanz, members of the Ghorman Front family. In a stern tone, he instructs them on their inadequacies in spycraft for the rebellion. Additionally, he notices a military transport that adds to the construction of the Imperial facility – a building disguised as an armory, yet the Imperials refuse to acknowledge it as an army base, leaving the Ghorman Front puzzled.
