Ebon Moss-Bachrach is shooting "Bear", season 2...he had to be killed-off
I wonder if he's shooting it now. He lives down the block from me and it's been weeks since I've seen him around the neighborhood. The Bear is an AMAZING show! I highly recommend it.
Just spitballing here but they did not want any reports what so ever getting out, ot the ISB or anyone else. They are making parts for a secret project. Questions would be asked if investigated. Hence why they killed all of Level 2 and are so quic to euthanize prisoners. They dont want anyone going to a med facility etc. where questions will be asked.
Thank you! I've been wanting to make this comment for days now, but I kept talking myself out of it. In the meetings, there appears to be 12-15 other ISB agents sitting around the table. Maybe someone else was assigned to the prison break. Meero (in the last couple of episodes) appears to be very busy dealing with Andor/Ferrix and Kreegers attack.

That's a good point. It's entirely possible that the ISB received a report about the prison break but that report is caught up in the system and nobody has yet bothered to push it up the ladder yet or some low level functionary didn't think it was a big deal and simply just filed it away somewhere. It's not like anybody anywhere knew that Andor was in that prison so, of course, the prison break is not going to have any more significance than just being a prison break. And this kind of thing (not prison breaks) happens all the time where things are known and reported but that info gets lost in the bureaucracy or because different agencies guard their turf jealously and don't share info with other departments. Just look at the lead up to 9/11, the US intelligence community effectively knew that 9/11 was going to happen, but because all of our different alphabet soup intelligence agencies don't like talking to each other nobody ended up seeing it coming.

That was absolutely hysterical...perfect!!
I think the ISB Supervisor for the sector containing Narkina 5 would just find an excuse to close the case. It would come up in one of the ISB meetings as something that's been quashed.
Remember how inspector Blevin managed the Morlana Incident. In addition to putting Morlana under direct Imperial control he had the Preox-Morlana officers sign forged statements that were stripped of any nuance just so he could close the case expediently. And Blevin is just about regarded as a model supervisor. So your typical ISB Supervisor is going to be a lot more like Blevin than Meero. They would bury it, too. That's how you can oversee six sectors and turn in your reports on time.

I agree. The ISB doesn't really seem to encourage nor necessarily reward initiative and I'd imagine that most that work there are very big on CYA and don't let word of anything going wrong in their sectors get out. It seems that it's very competitive within the ISB, at least at the higher levels and the supervisors seem very reluctant to share details of the goings on in their sectors with others for fear of a rival taking advantage of that info to advance their own careers. This is, once again, assuming that word of prison breaks even gets to the ISB at all and isn't kept quiet within the prison bureau system. The Imperial bureaucracy has never struck me as being very cooperative in nature and each major bureau/department jealously guards their turf for fear of a rival bureau/department head taking over any of its duties/authority.

Let's not forget that in the case of the Empire, or any type of society like it; collusion/corruption is rampant and is a normal trait in any Fascist/Communist philosophy...not to say anything about these "going-on" is typical of that organism. Delegation of authority makes it that way also; far-away postings, people in power making decisions based on their level of corruption doesn't make for great outcome in the end.
The danger of spreading your forces too far, too thin is that some people will instill their philosophy on their terrain (rather than the one from the Empire) and will play King-in-the-Cattle with the locals.

No.
Ha… strange, figured he’d show his face
I think that's exactly what we're seeing with the Russian army. I'm sure all the officers from the bottom, up to Putin, are saying everything is great and they have the best soldiers/equipment in the world.
