[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scene where Dedra is desperately trying to push down the horror for what she's done was haunting.  The actress really did a great job.

I think ultimately Syril found it easier to direct his rage and guilt onto Andor than to actually wrestle with what he'd done.  He was so close to getting it, but found a distraction and paid for it.

I've always thought that what made Syril compelling is you see how he thinks he's the hero in the story.  And when that finally falls apart for him, he can't handle it.[/quote]

And the final blow is realizing that Cassian doesn't even know who he is.[/quote]

I read a great analysis on Syril and his character arc that hints at this. It states that Syril probably was being led to believe by Dedra that the end mission was to infiltrate the local rebels to get the big time rebels like Cassian to come to Ghorman and when he realized he had been played, even by Dedra, he couldn't handle the Empire using him, his girlfriend lying to him, the rebels being disgusted by him, his mother being right all along and then Cassian, the reason he got fired from his job in Season 1, having no clue who he was, he lost it. No one really cared about him.

It surmised that if he had lived he would have gone off somewhere to be alone, he wouldn't have gone with either the rebels or back to the Empire.

I saw an interview with the actress who played Dedra that said her family has a name for the scowl she does, and when she got this role she thought, finally, it has paid off. She is exaggerating it for the role.[/quote]

While I appreciate that Andor doesn't spoon feed, I could have used a teeny bit more clarity on the Syril situation, but it's kind of a moot point.

He definitely deflected all of his feelings onto Cassian - I'm sure in the end he was thinking, "If this guy had just gone to jail I wouldn't be dealing with any of this."

RIP Syril and your awkward dinner party.[/quote]
