This review contains spoilers
This week’s Outlander episode, “The Happiest Place on Earth”, covers a lot of ground in terms of action and character development. The extended cold open closes the chapter on the Christie family saga, which allows the remaining part of the episode to set up re-introducing William Ransom as a young man who will have his own story, as well as setting up the main obstacle for Brianna and Roger to overcome this season.
After Tom Christie’s death, Alan reveals to Claire that he was the one who killed Malva. He was motivated by jealousy that Malva was trying to break off their incestuous relationship and her failure to get child support cash out of Jamie. Ian believes Alan is about to attack Claire, so he shoots him dead with an arrow. Claire feels guilty, but a passer-by tells her Alan deserved it for his actions.

This post contains spoilers for the entire first season of Andor, which is streaming now on Disney+.
A lot of memorable things happen in the Andor Season One finale. Marva (Fiona Shaw) digitally rises from the dead, as her impassioned, pre-recorded funeral speech inspires the people of Ferrix to rise up against their Imperial oppressors. The riot that ensues is, like so much of Andor, visceral and tactile in a way that very little of Star Wars has been since the original trilogy. At one point, disgraced ex-security guard Syril...

There will be spoilers for "Andor" Episode X - "One Way Out"
The tenth episode of "Andor," titled "One Way Out," focuses heavily on the end of Cassian Andor's prison escape and brings us to the end of another arc of this show. Cassian (Diego Luna) finally convinces fellow prisoner Kino Loy (Andy Serkis) to help them break out. Loy signaled that his mind might have changed at the end of the last episode when it was revealed to the pair of them that no one would escape the prison. The time they were told they had until release was a sham and instead of being let go, they would be transferred to another work facility until their death.
Naturally, no one took this very well and they decided they could make a plan work. Though Loy finds Cassian's plan to be lacking, he agrees that they can't wait any longer.

There will be spoilers for "Andor" Episodes I, II, III.
Starring Diego Luna in the title role, the first three episodes of "Andor" quite loudly says from the very first scene that this isn't the sort of "Star Wars" you're accustomed to. The first three episodes tell the beginnings of a story with Cassian Andor in two different timelines. In Cassian's early days, he's trapped with other children on an Imperial mining planet, the site of a disaster that has killed most of the folks there. In Cassian's present, he's on an industrial town just outside the jurisdiction of the Empire, working to find his lost sister and to make a score big enough to get off planet and away from the trouble he's in after accidentally murdering a pair of local corporate authorities.
As part of Cassian's plan, he steals an important bit of Imperial technology that would...
