Some UK-filmed shows (like House of the Dragon and Industry) are keeping going through the SAG-AFTRA strike, because most of their cast aren't SAG members, and they were able to film scenes with American actors up-front.

I'm assuming actors like Diego Luna, Kyle Soller and Forest Whittaker are SAG members, but I don't think they would have been able to use the same tactic, because of the way they film in 3-episode blocks (with different directors), and how much their characters are interwoven with everyone else.

TLDR: Fluff.

~~Currently, this bot just subtracts yesterday's subscriber count from today's, and give a percentage difference.~~

Current Algo: percentage difference in subscribers, averaged over the past 7 days. Where it's showing less than 7 days, it's because I don't yet have the data (mostly because this bot hasn't run for 7 days yet, but also because either it's a new community, or because I had to fudge things a bit in the first few days by excluding communities with less 100 subscribers)

Edit to add: since the posts from previous days will always be available, the first filter for each new day is now how much a Community has grown in that one day. That is then added to earlier day's, and averaged out.
Previously, it was just showing the rolling-average for every Community, but that meant that sites that had had crazy growth in one day but had now plateaued were still showing up and the list wouldn't change until that aberration had aged out.

Please use this post if you'd like share better ideas of what constitutes "trending", and if you have any preferences for how the posts are displayed. Thanks.

Community Discoveries

From Return of the Jedi - The Empire 1 comic (one-shot issue to coincide with the re-release).

TLDR: Ben's great, more Ben please

None of Season 1's directors returned for Season 2. A leak on Reddit (from someone whose other reveals had turned out to be true) has said that Tony Gilroy had yelled at Susanna White in front of her crew. Of the three directors, it's noteworthy that she's the only one not to do any press for Andor. The reason given for Haynes and Caron not returning is that they're in-demand and had other projects, but I would question whether filming a single episode of Black Mirror really prevented Haynes from further involvement in Andor.

I'm sure Season 2 will be great, but the new directors don't all have same level of experience (especially with shooting in the UK), plus many of them will be doing without it a showrunner (although maybe that's a good thing?)
