[What did you watch?]

 Another long day of grading (though at least I finally finished the latest batch!), so I got home late-ish. Thus I only got through:
 soaps: GH - Tue's ep. Lulu lays out her "Gio is Brook Lynn's secret son!" scenario to a skeptical Carly, and seems to win Carly over to the possibility, though Carly continues to warn Lulu to just stay out of it! though Lulu outright refuses. Sonny tells Laura that he wants to sell the piers to Jenz Sidwell and get out of "the business", though Laura warns Sonny that Sidwell is a monster. Tracy Q. tries to get Jason to track down Brook Lynn's long-lost son (letting Jason know about this sitch' for the first time), but Jason staunchly refuses, not wanting to get into Brook Lynn's private business. An outraged Emma goes to Anna to complain about Josslyn "taking her job" (which Joss literally did!), but Anna warns Emma to let this go or she'll face blowback. Joss and her handler ransack the (evol?) professor dude's collehe office, but assume what they need is actually in the dude's lab at GH.
 What did you watch?
 

I watched:
Andor (Disney+) - The final 3 episodes of the season were released.
"Make It Stop" - This episode hit the ground running as Luthen learns the Empire is building a new weapon called a "Death Star."
"Who Else Knows?" - Krennic shows up to personally look into the "Death Star" situation and make sure it's handled.  Meanwhile Cassian and everyone's favorite killer robot K-2SO mount a rescue mission.  "Are you with us?  "No."
"Jedha, Kyber, Erso" - K-2SO continues his killing spree, I mean rescue mission, as Cassian has vital information he must return to the rebel alliance.  I had a bit of a "Total Recall" flashback when K-2SO grabbed one guy and used him as a human shield as he fought his way through.
Overall the show wrapped up very well.  Nothing's going to top season 1, but season 2 held it's own.  I was a little surprised when K-2SO mentioned remembering being in a parade in front of the emperor. Obviously he's a reprogrammed droid, no hiding that.  But I figured they'd have wiped his memory.  But he actually remembers his old life. I wonder if he has any thoughts on that.  Or maybe it's just as long as he still gets to kill people, he doesn't care which side it's for.
