Hello! As you may have seen today, an AI-generated article appeared on io9. I was informed approximately 10 minutes beforehand, and no one at io9 played a part in its editing or publication.

Can't even wait for our recap to say it: Andor's greatest miracle is its own continued miraculousness. There hasn't been a piece of Star Wars with this kind of clarity of purpose in... maybe ever?
Remarkable show. A privilege to witness it, to be in the light of its gratitude.

Extra thought about X-Men '97: I fucking *adore* how it gets Scott. He's funny, he's charismatic, he's a boy scout dweeb, he gets some killer action that understands what his powerset is. It's a treatment of Cyclops for people who've dismissed him for years. Go get 'em, Slim!
