The Bad Batch Episode 7 and 8 BREAKDOWN - HE'S BACK

  • Two really fun episodes! I enjoyed these ones particularly because of the senate dealings which really dived into the transition of the stormtrooper army from the clones. I love how we got Rex and Palpatine returning in these.
    We enter the senate and Rampart and Chuchi go head to head. She makes a massive claim that he was responsible for diverting Kaminoan funding outside of cloning without senate approval. The crowd makes noise as Rampart tries to move on from the question as she grills him. She then goes for it and accuses him of destroying Tipoca City himself. She’s voted out of the senate for such a claim until the boys hand Omega the files, who hands it to Bail, who hands it to Senator Chuchi. They play the recording for all to see, and it’s the Venators destroying Tipoca City. The jig is up, and I couldn’t believe they actually showed this, I thought it’d be all over for the empire, until the floor opens up just as it did when yoda fought palpatine, and we see Palpatine in his pod, rising, Mas Amedda next to him.
    Ian McDiarmid voicing Palptine as he should, brilliantly twists the scenario into his favour. They arrest Rampart, and blame him for being rogue. He thanks Chuchi for exposing a rogue element in the empire’s ranks. Palpatine says he’ll be punished, however, he didn’t act alone. He blames the clones, too, and asks the senate if they really trust such a callous maneuver by such beings. He believes this legislation is their future, and that the imperial storm troopers will protect everyone from such things ever happening again.
    Brilliantly he had a backup plan should he be exposed, and the twisted everything to his advantage. The fate of all clones are now doomed from this. Either way, they were doomed.

      @@ZaWardo151 I have no problem with the OT or the PT, but ST is an abomination. My opinion of the fans of the ST is that they must not have brain cells to rub together. Not only are they absolutely atrocious movies with the Star Wars title strapped to them, but overall they are just outright horrible movies. Especially considering how one third of the trilogy is spend retconning another third of the trilogy, and the first movie, the first third, is just rehashed ideas of the original OT movie done very poorly. They were made like Monty Python films without any of the humor. There is only sad.

    Easily the best episodes of the season yet. A Clone Rebellion is now pretty much imminent and I believe that's going to be the overall goal of this series or this season. While it won't be on Kamino sadly, it's still going to happen now. Most likely Rex, Echo, and, hopefully, Cody will be leading that effort to save their brothers and fight against the Empire. Saying goodbye to Echo wasn't really surprising in hindsight. He's expressed throughout this season how annoyed he is with these small jobs for Cid and how the BB need to fight back. I'm hoping this is a sign that the BB are going to soon break away from Cid and go onto bigger and better things because they can't keep doing these things for Cid forever.
    Palpatine himself was so good in this episode and reminds us all how strategic and cunning he is. No matter what the outcome was, he was getting the Stormtrooper Program he wanted. If the evidence wasn't shown, he'd still get it. When the evidence WAS shown, he twisted the whole revelation to his favor and got the Senate to give in to what he wants. Rampart's fate, I'm willing to bet, is to become one of the first Death Troopers or Dark Troopers prototypes as punishment for his failure in keeping the Kamino bombardment a secret. This is who Palpatine is; someone who's always five steps ahead of everyone else and has numerous backup plans.
    Great set of episodes and I'm hoping next week it continues on.

      Best reason of how we don't see many clones during the Rebellion. It makes sense that old palps was afraid he'd no longer have control of em. And yes, this has most definitely got me watching bad batch again. For a while, I was a whole lot of disappointed in it. But its just like watching season one of the CW where it was made for children and grew into a darker and more murky cartoon series. Love it

      I would like to think the CG were understanding in the sense of respecting their soldiers, basically anyone who served. Don’t bring up Fives, that situation was blinded and twisted enough as it was, people always trash Fox for doing something he was ordered to do based on what he’s gotten on reports. Not to mention Fives being seen as hostile even before he held up the blaster.
      Commander Fox showed respect to Anakin in a way, I mean he doesn’t say anything particularly warm but you saw the respect in tone. But of course Anakin didn’t show that back after refusing his request lol.
      Or Commander Thorn showing his undying fight in the last moments. The CG ultimately have faith in their duty, while they’re colder sure- they aren’t machines. Someone’s gotta bare the red strips, and not all of them were simply stationed on a planet 24/7- Thire went out there and fought in the frontline a few times I’m sure.

    During E7, right before Slip is killed, he tells Chuchi that he saved a backup of the ship's logs to the central system. In other words, official logs were likely doctored, but Slip hid an unaltered copy somehow. He and the rest of the Clones probably know far more about the ship's databanks than Rampart does.

I think one reason for putting both on the episodes on the same day is because of the Super Bowl.

    The way Faloni wrote these characters had me jumping up and down my seat, I was practically rooting for Rampart to have something bad happen, I hated him so much because of what he did to our precious clones, on how he ended Kamino, the home of our clones, how he tortured the poor brothers. I know he was following orders but man, that look on his face when he got arrested!
    But boy what amazing episodes these two were, quick story, I was re-watching clone wars to hype my self up for the show and I watched the Talz episode with Chuchi right before, how ironic she was in these two episodes. She is such a pure character showing compassion for clones when no one else does, putting 'We're clones! We're expendable', 'Not to me.' to a new level.
    I love seeing the clones perspectives and palpatine at the end was phenomenal. His monologue shows how manipulative he is and how he had such a hand in controlling the galaxy and swaying everything to his side whilst also upholding his reputation. What a beast.
    Echo leaving got me kind of emotional, we knew him from some of the first episodes of the Clone Wars, he was best buddies with Rex, I knew this was imminent, I think everyone did, but seeing him actually leave was kind of sad. Omega is becoming more and more likeable, I feel like Faloni is doing what he did with Ahsoka to Omega, having her grow up and mature throughout the episodes, the 'Yes, sir.' at the end had a lot of power for me, I really hope Echo comes back one day, I don't want to see him go : (

    These two episodes were really good, definitely an ARC that was really interesting and with all the secrecy and running around Coruscant it really felt like TCW again.
