Meathead

No... Fridays. Episode 2 was released last Friday.

Watched the first two episodes with my girlfriend tonight. Pretty good start so far I would say.

I wasn’t sure about this group of characters, but they’re growing on me. Omega seems a tad on the annoying side just in terms of being the overly ambitious kid character who has a knack for getting into trouble.

Crosshair turning on the team seemed telegraphed throughout the premiere episode. I don’t really mind that it’s just the other four on the team.

I like the era the show is set in. Interesting to see the early days of the Empire.

Overall I’m happy with the show thus far. Looking forward to seeing how things progress, and who all might turn up eventually. I’m still holding out for cameos by Rex, Ahsoka, and more.

I just cannot get into this. I have tried Clone Wars a few times and just cannot do it. The overly-juvenile catering aspect kills it for me every time. I tried to watch this, thinking maybe, just maybe, it would capture my attention ... but no. I got about 30 minutes in and had no interest.

I did get through Rebels and enjoyed it for the most part. It did have moments of being too childish though.

That said ... those Bad Batch posters are pretty cool looking, especially the first one. Disney points are burning a hole in my virtual pocket ...

Where exactly do they release the Disney+ posters (other than occasionally reaching Disney Rewards)?

Pretty good episode.






I like the members of the Bad Batch, but am still somewhat iffy on Omega. Definitely feels like a Disney mandate to me.

TGM

totally digging this.

Omega is annoying... hopefully there's some big reveal about what she is really all about... maybe eventually some accelerated aging or something would be good.

love the armor variants and love Wrecker.

Really good episode this morning (S01E04 - Cornered)... and we see the introduction of

Loved the story thread of how they got the credits and wove that into fixing the ship. That was fun.

Good sky chase... and another Loth-cat sighting.

VinVega

Omega is definitely a nod to the kids, but there are some grown up scenes with her and Hunter. He is trying to learn how to be a father to her and that is really touching. With all the heat she is drawing, she is obviously a valuable clone. There is a special power about her. You have to wonder if the Caminoians worked some M count into her blood because she seemed to know what Crosshair was going to do before he did it.

Goldberg74

That’s right. I should have known that. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

lisadoris

I thought that as well but if Omega is force sensitive, why didn't she feel her new friend's intent in this episode.

VinVega

Good point. She does seem emotionally attached to the Bad Batch clones though. Maybe that's a factor.

Or that she's an untrained kid who may and probably doesn't even know what the force even is...

I got caught up on all four episodes on Friday, and as someone who has not watched The Clone Wars, and only a handful of episodes of Rebels, I really enjoyed this show. I am more than okay that I went in cold and did not even watch The Clone Wars eps where these folks were first introduced. I will say that the show can be quite touching and emotional at times, and also more than a bit dark and adult, such as when the "follow the mission" clone forces his team to do the unthinkable when it comes to the civilians they have cornered at gunpoint.

At times, the colors on this show really pop such as on the episode when The Bad Batch lands on the planet looking to lay low. The animation of the sky and natural life on the planet was beautiful to look at. I do enjoy a show with bright moments (visual and character moments) sprinkled among the darkness. If this series was all grim and gritty I am not sure I would have enjoyed it as much.

I have to admit I've given up on this series. I liked the first episode, but have been bored with the rest. It's not that the show is "bad'...it's just that it's soooo "average." Just too much good TV out there for me to spend 30 minutes a week on this.

Goldberg74

I've thought about letting them build up and then binge a bunch of them (in a movie like mode)... but for now, I've got the time to watch them.

Mike86

The fourth episode was good I would say. I’m enjoying the show a lot more than I expected to so far. The sky chase was good, and I liked how Hunter tried to pass Echo off as a droid

story

Fifth episode had a bizarre missed opportunity. I thought the people held prisoner with Muchi were Malakili and Giran, the keepers! I thought, wow, I love that connection. Then the Bad Batch said get out of here, you're free. Bummer. You even had a green-skinned Giran and a heavyset Malakili in those prisoners. I mean, come on, if they're not going to write this stuff, they might as well let me do it.

In episode 6, “Decommissioned”, the Bad Batch meets up with

I wonder who they were reporting to at the end?

Oh, and poor Wrecker, I have a feeling he’s gonna snap soon.

dex14

I'm assuming Ahsoka.

Goldberg74

Yeah, that’s too obvious though. I was thinking Bail Organa or Mon Mothma.

Mike86

Yeah, I’m wondering about Wrecker too. My girlfriend thought him having a headache in the fifth episode was indicating it, but I wasn’t sure since he’s always ramming into things. Hoping that if his chip does activate the rest of the Batch will be able to shut it off.

dex14

Maybe someone connected to Ahsoka… like Rex.

Goldberg74

And for me the only downside of this ep was...

Oh, and for those who didn’t know, Rhea Perlman is the voice of Cid.
