Yet another guest on this week’s episode.

The Caminoans hired a bounty hunter to retrieve Omega... and they got...

This is gonna be interesting.

Oh, and poor Crosshair. I don’t really have any sympathy for his character.

Mike86

This show is getting better as it goes in my opinion. Maybe the best episode of the show. Liked seeing Crosshair return again. Curious if he’ll eventually get his inhibitor chip removed and rejoin the Batch or if he’ll stay with the Empire.

He was kind of my least favorite of the team even before his turn anyways so I don’t care, but it is an interesting element having him hunt down his ex-team members.

Crosshair just has the villain vibe to him. I don't see him being brought back to the good side. Good episode. I like what they are doing with Fennec even if we don't see her again.

Just watched Common Ground (S01E10) and we have an episode that seems to be a one-off story, but could open a whole new chapter.

6 episodes left in the season.

Mike86

My girlfriend and I just watched episode ten last night. It was pretty good, but felt like a filler episode compared with the other episodes in the season. Still liked it though.

I liked seeing the Empire come in to occupy a planet. That was cool. at Omega eating the Outpost Mix popcorn from Galaxy's Edge.

story

Today's new episode was a cool twist on how to "follow" the Bad Batch while expanding and connecting the universe. I've been making my way through Rebels for the first time over the last few weeks in the background and literally just watched the "Homecoming" episode last night by coincidence (about 2/3 of the way through season 2 and I'm enjoying it) and this was fun since I'm in the middle of all of that.

Goldberg74

Glad The Bad Batch got a break this episode (“Devil’s Deal” S01E11) and we got see how the other side lives (I’m talking about Crosshair and his shenanigans).




Can’t wait to see where this takes us.

Good episode. Liked that it was a sidebar episode and that the Batch were only in it briefly. Curious what the Empire is doing on that planet. Maybe mining supplies for the Death Star or something?

One thing I thought was kind of interesting was that Clone Trooper seemed to somewhat question his orders. So some of the Clones still seem to have a conscience and aren’t just mindless drones for the Empire.

I'd read in another thread Disney+ is moving to Wednesdays for premieres, is that the case for The Bad Batch, too? I'm surprised to see episode #13 isn't up yet today. That said, I can't remember when they usually go up on Fridays. ...It is Friday, right? This blasted pandemic...

Mike86

This week should be the twelfth episode actually.

story

Oh, funny. I saw the thumbnail for episode #12 featuring Hera and figured that was last week's episode.

My Disney+ platform doesn't remember where I am often. It's telling me I can play the latest I haven't watched, episode #11, which isn't true because I've watched it. It will also stop after a few episodes of Rebels, make it impossible to find without going into search, and then say the last episode I watched was even further back than the batch that just got interrupted. I've wondered if some sort of "premiere date" listing per episode when a new series debuts would help.

I'll take my lumps for getting this wrong, and Disney+ isn't making it easy.

New episodes of The Bad Batch a released on Fridays.

The Wednesday release date applies to new original shows/series starting after July 1st.

TBB started May 4th.

The Questyen

I watched through the first 8 episodes and I'm done. Not terrible just completely uninteresting. I haven't been able to get into any of these Star Wars animated shows.

Mike86

I would say that The Bad Batch is watchable on its own, but for a more full experience it’s probably better to have watched The Clone Wars first. If not I can see where a person may not like it as much.

Not that the characters are in The Clone Wars much at all, but there are certain things that this show calls back to, and certain things were set into motion on that show. Also you get a more full realization of the Clones as characters, and to me it’s interesting that they all have personalities versus being mindless drones.

The Questyen

I watched the first 2 seasons of The Clone Wars and couldn't get into it either. Like I said not terrible just completely generic in every way and I have enough shows I want to watch I'm not going to force myself to keep watching through it. I loved the first two seasons of The Mandalorian and figured I would give Bad Batch a chance but it's not for me.

Mike86

I will say that The Clone Wars takes time to get good. The first season is rocky. Season two is better, but the show is still going through growing pains. I think it hits its stride later in season three and beyond.

Gizmo

I can’t get into any of the animated shows either. They are just a wee bit too kid-focused and my son doesn’t care about Star Wars so…

Mike86

Not a ton to say about the last episode really. The main thing that I still found interesting that carried over from episode eleven is the Clone Captain who didn’t want to go along with his orders. Curious if his inhibitor chip isn’t working properly, and how many other Clones have defective inhibitor chips.

story

My take is this series is a bridge to show how...


And that last episode really pits that on display.

Goldberg74

... and we're back to a "story of the week" episode in S1E13's Infested. We meet a few new characters... but I'm curious as to who this person is (and I don't know why they stuck out but they did)...



Three more episodes left.

story

Great cliffhanger setup for the final two episodes today. I've never watched a Star Wars animated show before, at least during a weekly premiere, and I'm having fun. I caught some of the early Clone Wars but I never had cable and I didn't get around to it on Netflix. I'm liking this show.
