Other than 23 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,439 that, I think that's everything, So we can get into this now. 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:40,760 I'm briefly non spoilers first here. These episodes were absolutely wonderful. The quality 25 00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:46,920 of this show is beyond anything I've been anticipating and expecting. When you get 26 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,560 to that season one of the Bad Batch, it follows up after the Clone 27 00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:53,400 Wars, and while some of the Clone War stuff is very serious and very 28 00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:57,040 much engaging and adult oriented, a lot of the stuff that they do through 29 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,439 in those shows is just over the top kid crazy frenzy and whatnot. But 30 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,799 I appreciate how a kid can still I mean, maybe I'm not a kid, 31 00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:07,719 so I can't speak for kids, but I would like to think and 32 00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:10,479 I appreciate that maybe a kid can watch this and still get enjoyment out of 33 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:15,360 this show. But as an adult, wow, give me this in live 34 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,080 action. I really really want this in live action. But that being said, 35 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,039 these four episodes were really something great. I had a good time getting 36 00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:29,199 to see a little bit more of Crosshair and Omega, their story and their 37 00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:32,840 connection developing between the two, getting to see more of Hunter and Wrecker and 38 00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:38,199 seeing them kind of connect as characters, and just see more familiar faces that 39 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:42,520 sprouted out in these episodes. It was really really wonderful, and we got 40 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,520 a little bit more insight to a degree of just what's going on and the 41 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,759 overarching narrative. And now the Hunt is really really on to try and complete 42 00:02:53,800 --> 00:03:00,759 this mission objective that our one character is trying to achieve. Trying not to 43 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,840 be super super spoiler here, but there's just there's something building up here and 44 00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:08,400 I'm really really looking forward to it. But I'm also really scared because I 45 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,560 feel like none of these characters are safe, and that's what really really concerns 46 00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:15,479 me. I love these characters. I love the abundance of clones that we're 47 00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:20,000 getting to see in this series, and so as a clone guy, it 48 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,360 hurts whenever I see some of them die. But overall, I think that 49 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,400 each episode here does a great job and does not really it doesn't live up 50 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,319 to the title of being a filler episode, which we've labeled things in the 51 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,759 past, whereas a filler episode just serves as what it is. It's filling 52 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,800 the episode in between the main story plots of a season. And I feel 53 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,159 like for the most part, for these episodes, while they are acting as 54 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,400 that filler, they do a wonderful job at continuing that main storyline and continuing 55 00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:57,000 in being detrimental to our characters development and the progression in this narrative. And 56 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000 I think that's absolutely wonderful. So I think that this wi this show just 57 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,479 it does, it does so much. Justice really really love it so well. 58 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:12,240 Further Ado, let's get into some spoilers here the episode for a different 59 00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:15,279 approach. Now we see following Yeah, spoilers, I guess should say, 60 00:04:15,399 --> 00:04:19,600 following the escape of Tantis Base, Omega across their flee on their stolen transport 61 00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:25,240 shuttle and they've gotten through hyperspace. They did get damage and they tried to 62 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,800 reach the bad Batch, but they were not able to. So while they're 63 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,160 trying to fix the ship, they decide, okay, we've got a crash 64 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,040 land And this just felt like a real nice, laid back kind of episode 65 00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:40,680 with them just trying to make their way off planet. And I mean they 66 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,279 managed to, but this reminded me of things with like Solo a little bit 67 00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:48,160 and a little bit of and Or, because you get to see this really 68 00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:53,319 confident side of Omega that I really appreciate when she just starts gambling and you 69 00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:56,560 get to see her take on this local governor, which was I love the 70 00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:01,480 character. This is just felt immersive. It felt like it was well well 71 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,439 sawced inside the Star Wars universe. It didn't feel like it was just main 72 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,040 characters and the main story anything like that. Again, this is a perfect 73 00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:12,800 example for me. Or it didn't feel like a filler even though this was 74 00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:15,839 basically just a filler episode. They didn't have to land here, they didn't 75 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:17,879 have to go on this brief adventure. They could have just crash lined or 76 00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:21,720 escaped or gotten to their base, whatever. But I appreciate the quality of 77 00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:26,720 world building that this episode did. And I also appreciate that this game that 78 00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:30,680 they created. In the Bad Batch here, I read that it is apparently 79 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,720 a game that the animators they tested. They actually created this game. It's 80 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:36,480 not Sabakh, but it's an actual game that they were able to play and 81 00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:40,800 they implemented that into the show. So I think that's a really cool concept 82 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,040 that they were able to pull off. Now, obviously Hemlock is just salivating. 83 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,240 He needs to find out where Omega is because Omega has got that m 84 00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:55,639 Count dyl Muss. In the chat, there's a solo of you, Bad 85 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,000 Batch, So I think Hemlock has just proved to be still a very mysterious 86 00:06:01,079 --> 00:06:06,560 character. We know that he has some very powerful motivations. He wants to 87 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,399 move up in his position. He wants to get in more favor with the 88 00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:13,439 Emperor, so you got that going on for him. But he's still got 89 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,480 an Lsa imprisoned and is still trying to keep her around for some benefit which 90 00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:21,680 we're not really sure yet, but we know that the m count is what 91 00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:26,240 he's juicing for. It's what he's going for, and Omega's got it. 92 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,680 Now we see our characters get through this whole ordeal of dealing with this governor 93 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:33,680 and what wasn't supposed to turn into a fight turns into a fight, and 94 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,680 I feel like you really get to see this different side across here here as 95 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,959 he's understanding and becoming a little bit more closer with Omega. And I like 96 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,800 seeing the relationship full because before, while all the characters of the Bad Batch 97 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,480 have had that unique personal relationship with her, we never got to see cross 98 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,160 Hair have this, and so now we're finally getting that, and it's only 99 00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:58,279 expanding as each episode progresses, and I'm really thankful for that, because two 100 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,600 seasons without Crosshair and Omega having a real strong connection, it's nice to see 101 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,879 it finally unfold here. So we eventually at the end of all this, 102 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,519 we get to see Omega put out a signal. They get on the ship, 103 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,399 they leave with Crosshair, and they have Batcher still with them, so 104 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,279 they managed to put out a signal, they figure out where the Hunter Wrecker 105 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,600 are and they land there and you just get this super tense moment because why 106 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:28,959 would they trust Crosshair. I don't doubt it whatsoever, their apprehensive tension hesitation 107 00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:32,120 to trust such a character, and I'm just I'm excited to see how this 108 00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:36,639 kind of rebuilds and their friendship maybe rekindles, but between them and just the 109 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,160 end scene there of just being the standoff, I really appreciate it and liked 110 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:44,279 it, so I think it was a great episode, really really do. 111 00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:47,920 Moving on from that, we get episode five, and this one is called 112 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:55,800 the Return. So after Omega wakes up, she enters the common area where 113 00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:59,959 she's greeted by hundred Wrecker and recor gives her fruit sent by Shep and Leanna. 114 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,439 Basically, we're back on Paradise. This is our familiar location we've seen 115 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,160 in season two, and we just kind of see things progressing with Crosshair here 116 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:15,279 that we understand. Now, Okay, he's definitely not the same trooper he 117 00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:18,680 used to be. He's definitely going through some things. And I'm not just 118 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,040 talking mentally, although maybe it is mental that's affecting his skills, but I'm 119 00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:26,720 meaning mostly the physical sense, where he's definitely he's lost his shot, you 120 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:33,000 could say, and it's just it could very well stem from some mental perspective 121 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,320 or causation causality, but it remains to be seen. We've yet to really 122 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,519 figure that out. They do expand on that a little bit more in the 123 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,440 next episode, but for now we'll just we'll keep checking on. So the 124 00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:56,360 apprehensive perspective and stance that Hunter has with Crosshair is expedited a lot more in 125 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,360 this episode, exponentially greater record that you don't really detect from him, and 126 00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:03,600 not because records. They're just playing this all broad, no brain character. 127 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:09,240 He's absolutely grown and developed into a really, really a passionate character, I 128 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,559 would dare say now, not at all like the blue blue kind of person 129 00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:16,639 that he maybe was trying to be portrayed as in that first season or at 130 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,679 least the last season of the Clone Wars. He's he's changed. He's really 131 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,519 changed, and I'm really really thankful for that as a character and how he's 132 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,679 grown. So our characters here basically want to dive into Ana. Let's say, 133 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,960 is data pad that Omega swiped, and this is something now, let's 134 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,080 say gave Omega when she was trying to escape from Tantas. So they have 135 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,799 data pad and they're thinking, okay, we're going to go to We're going 136 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:41,639 to go to a base here banded one and see what we can see. 137 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,080 And this is interesting because of course we get Echo coming back to join the 138 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,000 fight, which is great, but the planet that we're going back to is 139 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:56,120 where is a snowy planet Barton for And if you are familiar with this planet, 140 00:09:56,159 --> 00:10:03,039 this is where a certain things were stored for the Empire back in the 141 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:05,879 previous season. And we see Crosshair having been stationed here for a brief bit 142 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,279 dealing with some rebel activity going on some pirates. But there was and you're 143 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:16,000 gonna people are gonna kill me, kill me, but there was Clone troopers 144 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,399 that were stationed here, and one of the Clone commanders was basically here for 145 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,080 a long long time. And I was reading some articles about how it's interesting 146 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,679 that they probably were here and didn't even have like they weren't aware of Order 147 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,120 sixty six. This this thing would have just happened. But they were stationed 148 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,200 out here, They're no Jedi around, they were just kind of left to 149 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:41,279 their own devices. So this is a very very deep and powerful callback for 150 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,399 Crosshair as a character. And I love that episode in the season two. 151 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,320 It is so emotionally heavy because of the things that Crosshair goes through to save 152 00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:54,559 this Clone and it just ends in literally him dying at the very very end, 153 00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:58,399 and it was all for nothing, and just to see the loyalties and 154 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,960 how this thing goes. And I mean that was turning point for Crossir. 155 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,519 That's where he fired upon his superiors and basically said, you know what, 156 00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:07,519 screw it, I'm done. This is this is not who I want to 157 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,919 be and not who I want to serve. So this is definitely a very 158 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:16,320 interesting place to visit. You see it still reflected how Hunter does not trust 159 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,639 Crosshair because crossairs like, I'm gonna go survey the area, this and that, 160 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:26,639 but they get a This episode is actually timed well because Dune too dropped 161 00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:31,919 and so you get like snow snowworms the very much like Dune style, and 162 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,759 they're kind of going through the snow and everything like that. So this is 163 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:41,519 very fitting to have some more Doom centric stuff even though it's a different landscape 164 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,399 or terrain. But yeah, overall, I think it was great. They 165 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,559 again this was to act as another filler, but it didn't serve as a 166 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:52,720 filler to me at all. It just served as another key character device episode 167 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,279 that was really focused on exploring more of this relationship between this character coming back 168 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,879 into our friends' lives. So you see a lot of the protectiveness too emanating 169 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:07,039 from Crosshair with with Omega as well, but overall it was just a really 170 00:12:07,039 --> 00:12:11,279 really good episode. I'm really really happy with it, and it sets up 171 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:20,559 kind of getting into our next episode where let's see here, I'm gonna dive 172 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:26,399 into it after the sad break and we're back. So the next episode here 173 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:33,120 is getting into familiar territory where you've seen some of these like assassination clones, 174 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,200 these guys that are basically trained and to do really really crazy things, and 175 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,960 they don't seem to have any recollection of their brothers. Their they're clone brothers. 176 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,480 They're just they're they're clone troopers based off Django's DNA, but they are 177 00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:50,720 wholeheartedly they're evil and mission oriented, ejected, and they are not stopping for 178 00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:54,120 anything else. And if you catch one, well, they'll bite into their 179 00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:00,720 teeth and they'll kill themselves. Very very crazy. And I mean they haven't 180 00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:05,039 confirmed it, but I'm pretty sure that these are clones that are affiliated or 181 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,799 stemming from what's going on the experiments on Tantus to a slight degree. It's 182 00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:15,960 hard to say, but it was nice to see that we get a whole 183 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,279 list of recognizable clone troopers here with it being Rex again, Echoes coming back, 184 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,399 Houser from earlier on in the Bad Batch series, so it was good 185 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,279 to see him pop in. I was nervous because that episode two is one 186 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:31,120 of my favorites, when his squad kind of divides up and some of the 187 00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:35,759 Clones don't want to turn and some of the Clones do want to stick to 188 00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:39,759 the Empire, and it was just a really really good, a good little 189 00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:43,960 arc. Anyways, So this episode Infiltration, it's episode six, and it 190 00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:48,840 starts off with an assassination attempt, and we see some familiar faces here, 191 00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:56,320 like Senator Chucci, and then we see another one Separatists, a former Separatist 192 00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:01,399 senator actually called Singh, and we've seen him from Clone Wars, and so 193 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,279 just to see again the dynamic between a clone, sorry not clone, a 194 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,279 Republic old Republic senator and a Separatist senator kind of teaming up is very interesting. 195 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,840 And I think this was just to serve as the baseline. They made 196 00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:18,000 it seem like it was a much more grandiose thing, even though it really 197 00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:22,960 it is, But it was not the foundation for this episode. It was 198 00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:24,840 just okay, if this evil Clone was here to assassinate one of them and 199 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:30,799 break up this meeting, and we have Rex just doing his stuff. His 200 00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:33,799 clones are all here, and it was really cool to see that he has 201 00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:37,320 like a whole platoon of Clone Troopers working with him. They all got different 202 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,240 colored armor and whatnot. It was just really really awesome. I was really 203 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,639 driving with it. And I would easily take a live action show of just 204 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,840 Clone Troopers doing their own, their own mo stuff like this. It's it's 205 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,519 totally awesome. Granded, that's what the bad batches. But I mean live 206 00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:56,240 action. Give me the live action. Put in a bunch of a bunch 207 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,840 of Clone Troopers post Order sixty six. I just I really want to see 208 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:07,320 it tomorrow. Morrison just dozens of him everywhere. I aggress though, So 209 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,720 after this meeting obviously doesn't go their way, but we know that they were 210 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:18,080 talking about creating a rebellion, so to speak, to pose Emperor Palpatine. 211 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,840 There is a little bit of dialogue that I really wanted to latch onto here 212 00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:24,799 and highlight, and it's the fact that they talk about how they are leaderless. 213 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:30,120 But even if Emperor Palpatine was to do something and do something drastic here, 214 00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:31,679 he would not be able to sway public support. And I find that 215 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:37,159 very powerful because at this time, we know that he's Emperor and he can 216 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,360 do what he wants for the most part, but it doesn't mean that there's 217 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:46,840 freedom free of or actions free of consequence, and he's still subject to that 218 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:50,600 consequence. And it calls back to season two when he's taught trying to get 219 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:56,600 to the Clone Troopers dismissed in, the Stormtroopers brought in, and Admiral Rampart 220 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,559 is dealt with, and he comes into the Assembly and talks to the Senate. 221 00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:03,919 You can see how he's trying to appeal to the like a public opinion, 222 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,320 and it's just one of those things that I really like and I love 223 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,200 seeing one of those sides of Palpatine, and so the fact that he's still 224 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,840 subject to that is interesting. And we know too in a New Hope that 225 00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:18,720 those remnants that he was still subject to of that public opinion was swept away. 226 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,960 It didn't matter anymore, and he could basically do whatever he wanted because 227 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,120 he had enough power and enough supremacy. So this is just a nice little 228 00:16:25,159 --> 00:16:30,159 touching point on continuing that story for Palpatine's character and that universe building. However, 229 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,679 so continuing on from that, we see that the Clone trooper that they 230 00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:41,879 kidnapped the assassin one Rex Houser and nemech I believe his name was bring it 231 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,799 back to their base and they check out one of the Puck targets and it 232 00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:51,039 looks like Omega's on there, so they decided to call the bad batch hunter 233 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,320 cross her record and Omega come drop by and they basically tell him, hey, 234 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,639 Omega is being hunted. You need to be careful. And we get 235 00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:03,399 a little bit of a little bit of inquiry here because they talk about how 236 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,960 like why why are they looking for you Omega. Omega is like something about 237 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,960 an m count and Rex is like, okay, well you know what. 238 00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:11,799 I've heard that before, but I'm not really sure what it means, which 239 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,920 is a shame because I feel like he would know. But m count is 240 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,160 based off Medchlorians and Mediclorians. I mean, the only time they talk about 241 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,519 Mindiclorian's I'm pretty sure was the Phantom Menace. I don't think they touched upon 242 00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:30,359 that in episode two, and definitely not episode three, and certainly not the 243 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,359 sequel trilogy. So I think it's it's it's I like the idea of m 244 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,200 Count. I think it's a fun touch touch pit touch bad thing. Uh. 245 00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:44,039 I can't eve remember if they talk about in the Mandalorian with Grogu, 246 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:49,119 But that's for another deep dive another day. So they get the puck. 247 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,920 They know that Omega is being targeted, and because they've captured this one Rogue 248 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:59,839 clone or Assassin clone, another one has basically been activated. And this one 249 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,119 feels like we know that they're clones, but this one feels different. We 250 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,440 never saw the helmet come off, but man, they've really wanted you to 251 00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:11,960 feel a connection to this one, like he wasn't just some other Assassin clone. 252 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,440 The whole time throughout the episode, we're really focused and engaged with him 253 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,240 and what he was doing. And even in the end of this episode when 254 00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:22,799 they made it seem like he died and he didn't, they get focused on 255 00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:26,400 the fact that, Okay, he's probably gonna come back, and he like, 256 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,839 are we supposed to recognize him? People are saying maybe it's Tech, 257 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,759 which I hope not. Please don't be tech. Tech is gone, Tech 258 00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:37,240 die the hero. Don't let him become a villain. So I'm very interested 259 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:41,160 to see who and if this is just indeed another clone and whatnot, and 260 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,319 this kind of vendetta he's gonna have, but he basically causes all this shit. 261 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,960 The base is basically taken down, and lo and behold we get Commander 262 00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:56,119 Wolf who is swooping in here with his Clone troopers. And I'm happy to 263 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,839 see more Clone troopers still in service of the Empire. And I say that 264 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,480 because I don't I don't like seeing the clones work for the Empire, but 265 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,039 I'm happy to see that the transition hasn't fully taken place between stormtroopers taking over. 266 00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:11,759 We've just seen a heavy Stormtrooper presence on Mount Tantis, which is fine, 267 00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:15,440 but it's funny to still see a lot of Clone troopers still in the 268 00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:22,480 enlisting with uh the Empire, but still questioning some of the Empire's motives and 269 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,400 orders. And so when you have this assassin clone trying to do his thing, 270 00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,400 Commander Wolf is like, oh, what what are you doing? Like 271 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,200 you gotta be I'm paraphrasing, but you can't be doing that. Come on, 272 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,880 no, no, no, no no. He's applying logic and reason 273 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:37,880 to all this. And so he's got his clones with him as well. 274 00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:42,559 He's got a Republic commando, a Clone commando with him too. But so 275 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,559 basically he starts the pursuit because he's like, why are their clones here? 276 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,480 This is super weird, like they're what, they're targets. Their rebels know 277 00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:53,599 they're clones. And so that kind of continues on and we see more of 278 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:59,319 a dilemma between Crosshair trying to get his shot back, but he's super protective 279 00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:03,240 of Omega. Episode and I really really like it, and yeah, it's 280 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,720 felt like it got claustrophobic really really quick because the Empire just popped in here. 281 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:14,119 And this kind of is what surprises me because this then transitions into the 282 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:22,119 next episode where it's called Extraction, and this episode I was really pleasantly surprised 283 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,400 with. I thought it was fantastic getting to see Gregory in here and getting 284 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:33,720 to see the face to face the confrontation between Rex and Wolf. I appreciated 285 00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:40,759 that Wolf understood the situation and understood that if I mean, if this was 286 00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:44,240 anyone else another Clone Trooper, he probably wouldn't have batted an eye. I 287 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,839 would have followed orders, but set the guns to stun and let's be done 288 00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:52,920 with this. Even though the fallen Clone Troopers or insurrectionist rebels, would you 289 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,279 want to call them. They're still their brothers, and so they were going 290 00:20:55,319 --> 00:20:57,960 to bury them properly, clack the bodies and whatnot. And I can really 291 00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:03,039 appreciate that. And this sets the foundation too, because we know that Wolf 292 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,079 ends up in Star Wars Rebels. He's up there with Rex and Gregor, 293 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,359 so we know at some point something's gonna happen here and he's gonna make the 294 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,400 jump too. But I think that this episode, again, it's it's very 295 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,079 much. It's just it's a continuation from last the previous one, of course, 296 00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:21,200 and we just have the team trying to escape, and we got this 297 00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:26,119 bloody evil Clone who's just going to town, going crazy like the Bee's knees 298 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,440 on our squad here, and you get to see Crossair adapt to make some 299 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,680 alterations because he's not super super accurate anymore, so as you do, he 300 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,359 throws a bomb and then shoots the bomb, knowing the bomb will have an 301 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,559 area of effect instead of just a direct shot. So he's pulling out some 302 00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:45,200 strings, which I can appreciate. But overall, I think this episode was 303 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,599 great. It was visually appealing because when the ships are landing, the animators 304 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,720 did such a good job. You're seeing like the smoke and wisps all throw 305 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,480 like the ships and stuff like that. It's absolutely awesome. I love it. 306 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,319 And yeah, sadly Nemck doesn't make it, but Buser gets gets out 307 00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:06,079 here, which is great. Uh yeah, the Clone base is pretty much 308 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,079 gone and totaled, but the crew is all together and it's gonna be interesting 309 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,240 to see what happens. Because moving on from this, when we got one, 310 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,000 two, three, four, five, six and eight more episodes, 311 00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:23,079 so you're gonna get two more reviews out of me. And I mean, 312 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,279 we've got bad Territory, the Harbinger at any crisis. I won't get read 313 00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:30,119 all of them out of spoilers, but uh yeah, the last the last 314 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,359 couple episodes, I can't wait to see what's gonna happen. I imagine that 315 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,000 we're gonna get some unexpected deaths here, which is gonna be really really quite 316 00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:42,559 sad. But just having our our whole group, our whole band back together 317 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,680 is wonderful. And I for second thought that Omega was gonna get captured in 318 00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:49,920 this episode. I really really did. It's funny too how Wolf doesn't give 319 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:56,359 a shit about this role Clone Assassin Clone and just left them behind that's that's 320 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,839 funny. But I'm I'm happy where we're at. I'm happy with our characters, 321 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,599 and I'm looking forward to what's next. So thank you for tuning in 322 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,119 to this review. I'll be back in well, we'll see it could be 323 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,279 four weeks, could be three weeks, who knows, but I will be 324 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,359 there. So until next time, everyone, We'll see you in the search bar.
