Yeah, they really seemed to care about her when they left her alone with the Pykes. That was a poor writing decision imo as it made me feel like the bad batch are cowards.
It's funny I feel like in Clone Wars we were always told how dangerous the Pykes are but we never actually saw that and in this we didn't really see why they are so dangerous but I was still like stay the fuck away from them
They were never intimidating cause we saw them from the POV of the Jedi, the only organisation they don’t fuck with, and maul rules them and we see characters stronger than maul constantly, but from a non force sensitive they are scary
@@sirboomsalot4902yes, because in Solo, he's still in charge of the Crimson Dawn, which along with Pikes and Black Sun were working for Maul. So chances are Maul is still operating his criminal empire
Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Echo all drawing their blasters at the slight suggestion of any harm coming to Omega is such a heartfelt moment, in the most masculine way possible.
@@conallgough4642 i was thinking that.can the bad batch have a conection with Solo ??????and there Caracters The death of Aura sing by tobias beket.Maul Syindicate
Except we already know he doesn't. In Rebels he's just a lone dude doing random stuff. Meanwhile Jabba the hutt and the pikes still going strong around that time.
This episode was fun and light, for me at least. I enjoyed seeing Cid develop as a character, and get more of an idea of how widespread the Pikes are, though I do feel like they could've been a bit more intimidating. Overall, it was easy to watch. This definitely means that the next episode is gonna rip my heart out.
18:44 that wasn't Cid's pet, that was a previous job that the bad batch did for Cid, remember when one of the episodes started with a loose animal in their ship? that was Ruby and they got her for this dude, that was the job that's how Omega knew the animal
They're definitely bigger though. Just because she's a first-generation doesn't mean she's older. Samples can be frozen for 5 to 10 years before they expire. I have cousins who were grandmas & grandpas before I was out of high school. I've done the math, and the Kaminoans could've realized they needed another unaltered clone about three years after Boba was created.
When I first saw Roland I thought it could be Vizago from Rebels... until I heard his voice that is.. Then at the end when his horn got broken off, maybe he changes his name and his voice so the Pykes couldn't find him? 🤔🤔🤔
It amazes me how good the animation actually is. From the lighting to the body movement of characters. Cid for example has so much personality to her model.
I said this before on another video, but Roland Durand’s name comes from a french poem and song titled “The song of Roland” which starred a character named Roland who wielded a legendary sword named the Durandal
the season 1 finale arc is gonna be ultra emotional, this episode is just making us let our guard down. they did the same thing in season seven with the bad batch storyline (which takes place before the siege of mandalore and after ahsoka's episodes with those sisters).
When I saw the guy's horn cutoff, I thought for a few minutes that it's Vizago from Rebels, but then I checked and that character's broken horn is on the other side. Maybe he got in trouble with the Pykes and that's what happened to him
When Wrecker and Cid were getting swarmed ... all I could think was: They're towing them on a ship, just fly up. granted I don't think its one of those situations where the ship can just fly straight up without also moving forward.
Man is that voice of the Pykes simply terrifying. Good episode. I agree tho I don’t need Maul in this show. He was done so friggin well in Clone Wars they can’t ever top that story line.
A lot of people weren't a fan of this episode but I don't get the hate, it's definitely not the strongest but its still the typical Filoni quality weve come to expect
A lot of people seem to hate episodes of modern tv shows that don't progress the plot, even if the episodes themselves are good. Which I don't understand, since even Clone Wars had dozens of episodes that were stand-alone.
It’s not that it’s bad, it’s entertaining, but when there are only 4 episodes left, we would think that it will be more plot based involving crosshair and the empire, not another cid mission
The series uses the episodic format, only once we have seen that the show uses two episodes to tell a story, the rest were episodes with individual and conclusive storylines Now with all that said, i think the main issue of why people are upset is because last episode, Crosshair was about to hunt the Bad Batch and people expect some sort of 4 part for the ending. My theory? Another two parter for the ending, next one is gonna be another mission.
For me, I liked the change of the pace with the ryloth arc or the commencement of War Mantle with Crosshair executing rebels . I’m far more interested in what the empire’s up to and how clones are dealing with Order 66
I think they’re expecting something different, while this is following closely to how TCW episodes went. I’m LOVING all the side stuff, wish we had more episodes tho!
I think this is important because Omega is not letting them walk away from "Rescues". How will that turn out for her and the rest of the Batch? What happens when it's time for her to tell them don't kill Crosshair? If she makes them hesitate they may get killed. But then Hunter's doesn't even know their real purpose anymore other than to be soldiers and protect Omega. But they aren't really soldiers anymore. I don't have a problem with the being around Cyd. They need a place to live and a way to make money.
Right? I love that they made Liam and Sam who are best friends in real life play the two character. It’s like they’re playing themselves instead of characters.
16:52 Have they already seen the finale of S2 of Rebels? I know they’re getting close and record stuff in advance but I feel like they still haven’t seen enough of Maul in Rebels for casual talk about his journey through that show lol
I think it was a good episode but for it coming out this late in the season makes it feel not as good. At this point we shouldn't really be having these episodes where it's just based around Cid missions. If this had come out earlier then it would've been better.
Honestly I don't even really understand why they're still doing Cid missions at all? Like, initially they had to do Cid a favor cause she had information they needed. Then they owed her a big debt because of all their expenses while on the job. But Omega paid off all their debt playing dejarik, so I have no idea why the fuck they're still hanging around here with this lady who is sometimes *kinda* nice to them, but also constantly blackmails them into doing her dirty work. It's not like Ord Mantell or Cid's bar are exactly great places for them to lay low - Cid has connections to Jedi, Separatist Senators, and Jabba the Hutt ffs, she's clearly a pretty high profile figure. Not to mention that doing this many jobs for a single person in a short period is a great way to start earning a reputation, which is exactly what they *don't* want to be doing. There's seemingly no logical reason why they wouldn't just ditch Cid at this point and move somewhere else, especially now in this episode when she lost what little power she had to Roland. When she was standing there, on THEIR ship, threatening to expose their secret (which incidentally is basically just "I know you exist!") if they didn't help her, I was just thinking "Lady, they could very easily kill you and your two flunkies, throw your bodies out on the ground, and fly the fuck away from this planet. You are not in a position to be making demands here" But then Omega said they should help her because at some point she helped them (for her own benefit, of course), and so they help her back. Sure, I guess.
@@Wolf6119 thank you at this point the Bad Batch should be finding a planet to relocate on permanently they should know by now that most likely the empire are going to be aware soon that there working for Cid and will send Crosshair and troopers after them
@Wolf6120 I know this a year late and I am not past season 1 yet. But it's seems like they want to be involved in something. And Cid missions seem to keep them in the loop of what the empire is doing. But idk
Dont think so and hope it isn’t. Why i love seeing hera, kanan, and fennic, i do get people’s complaints about the universe being to small, so im glad it wasn’t visago
I feel that it is pretty much confirmed that we will get a season 2 because if this was only one season then we wouldn’t have a filler this late in the game and there would be way more episodes dedicated to plot. Plus there are a lot of loose ends to tie up that I don’t think will be resolved in just 3 episodes
My only real complaint about this show is how all Echo does is moan - he’s gone from one of my favourite clones to my least favourite member of the Batch
Well, to be fair Echo did blow up and now has a commuter in his brain, and considering we already knew that the brain computers mess with your personality in Star Wars it is understandable. Not to mention he IS most likely the oldest one there
I hope they look more into Liam O’Brien and Sam Riegal, idk if they know about the talent they have and about Critical Role, that’s how I found them and the rest of the cast. Great reaction!
These Pikes seem a LOT more competent in combat than the ones in the last season of Clone Wars. How did they manage to massacre ALL of Roland's men when they already had their blasters pulled?
I would've preferred they'd used vizago instead of durrand then it would've played into why he has one horn in Rebels.. Filoni must have something against devaronians having two horns, vizago in Rebels, burg in mandalorian & now durrand.
This was a fine episode of The Bad Batch especially since we saw the Pykes again and more of the criminal underworld. It's not the best episode but not the worst either. I Can't help but get a lot of "Pitch Black" vibes from this episode especially when The Bad Batch and Cid face off against these insect creatures who are sensitive to the light while getting the spice.
Good filler; the BIG takeaway in my opinion from this episode is the Criminal Underworld, more specifically the Pyke’s and Durand families are aware of the Batch and their capabilities concerning completing missions. This is setting up next season where the BB boys and a little Lady become more involved in the Criminal Underbelly
For a show about one of the most dangerous squads in the Republic, I expected more. These guys could be giving the Empire hell in its early days, and Crosshair could be giving them hell back. Just seems like this would be the closest thing to a Republic Commando type show, yet they didn’t go that route.
Compared to Rebels and TCW episodes, this was close to a 10. I can see where people's expectations could lead them to rank it around 2/10, but there's more to it than just being the third to the last episode for TBB. Most of the speculation and rumors aren't going to happen.
"It's something of a dishonourable thing to have your horn cut off." Maybe I'm going a little too deep into this, but if I had my horn cut off, the last thing on my mind would be honour! But that's just me. 8-Þ~
@@tanner5809 The audience knows who the pikes work for, but nobody in the star wars galaxy really knows about Maul's involvement other than the leaders of the groups. He's 100% in hiding right now, as Palpatine would be an idiot to knowingly allow one of his former apprentices to regain power.
I don't really understand what makes the Pikes so powerful. I mean, i get you don't wanna start a war with them in general, but here there were only 3 pikes and they were able to order around everyone. Is it just that if they meet resistence they will send more? Or are these guys actual gods of some kind?

The voice acting in the episode was great, Wrecker sounded TERRIFIED when the bugs were attacking him.
Poor fella... I'da been the same.
i agree, but the voice actors for the rest of the bad batch and all the other clones sound pretty eh to me

I loved the part when the Pikes threatened Omega ALL the Bad Batch pulled out their blasters. Shows the bond they have formed.
So much more to this episode than some people are giving it credit for.
Dad Batch mode, activated.
I’m really foreseeing them all dying for her.
Indeed
Yeah, they really seemed to care about her when they left her alone with the Pykes. That was a poor writing decision imo as it made me feel like the bad batch are cowards.

@@Kaoticreeper best way to say it
Well, they should not be f*cked with just by the sole fact that they still work for Darth Maul XD
imo I still think the writers could have done a better job of "showing" why they're so threatening rather than just "telling" us
So glad Eric said “Fool of a Took” cuz I said the same exact thing when that happened lol
People have been pointing that out non-stop 🤣 I'm dying
I said it too.
me too!
Same hahaha
Me too! Lol! 😂
You don't mess with Pykes when it comes to the spice business, specially when you know who they are are working for.

Ruby isn't Sid's pet. He was the original client that hired her to retrieve Ruby.
Maul is hiding building up his under world syndicate right ow since this is a few years before solo
I think solo is like 8 years after this.
He already has its Crimson Dawn. We see the Pikes and Dryden in season 7 of clone wars.

I especially appreciated how they pulled their blasters on the Pykes and the Pykes didn't give a shit.

Roland’s voice actor plays Scott Ryder, the protagonist of Mass Effect Andromeda. That’s why he’s so familiar to me.

Liam O'Brien and Sam Riegel who play Sid's goon are also players in Critical Role.
When I first saw Roland I thought it could be Vizago from Rebels... until I heard his voice that is..
Then at the end when his horn got broken off, maybe he changes his name and his voice so the Pykes couldn't find him? 🤔🤔🤔
Vizago has the left horn broken, not the right. Unless Devaronian horns grow back?
Maybe cutting off a horn is a typical first (and only) warning punishment for Devaronians?
nah. different horns were cut off
I thought the same at first until I realised that it was the wrong horn. There could definitely be a connection to him though.
Maybe Vizago is his brother? Or even father? Or there is just no connection?
Not the most exciting episode of the season, but still have faith that it'll end strongly.
Sid said the tunnels were old mining tunnels that were now used for smuggling.
It amazes me how good the animation actually is. From the lighting to the body movement of characters. Cid for example has so much personality to her model.
Now if they could only improve on the writing
I mean, that was clearly a swarm of Kryll from Gears of War. Right? I'm not the only one who was getting those vibes.
😆😆
Reminded me of Drones from Halo, especially the sound of the wings
I actually got halo 3 odst vibes. The mission where you have to get through a hive of drones.
That and Tech basically made a mini lightmass bomb
They remind me of the monsters from Pitch Black
Ngl at first I thought that was Vizago from rebels
I think it is. Or rather he will be
@@potato3996 I don't think so in Rebels his left horn is missing but the guy in this episode had his right one cut off
It’s the guy who started the clan that vizago eventually became a part of
I said this before on another video, but Roland Durand’s name comes from a french poem and song titled “The song of Roland” which starred a character named Roland who wielded a legendary sword named the Durandal

I am glad that I wasnt the only one who screamed Fool of Took when Wrecker dropped the flashlight.

the season 1 finale arc is gonna be ultra emotional, this episode is just making us let our guard down. they did the same thing in season seven with the bad batch storyline (which takes place before the siege of mandalore and after ahsoka's episodes with those sisters).
Ever since I found out they did the voices for Bolo and Ketch, I love that it's Sam and Liam because they're best friends irl.

Does anyone else really like Cid's character, even though she is kind of a sleazeball?
Yeah, it's that feeling of like "Yeah they're an ass, but they also have a respectable moral code."
I love how she got her hands dirty in this one and retrieved the spice herself with wrecker for Omega.
While her "archetype/character" isn't anything new.. She's just so charming with her design, writing and voice.

Compared to Rebels and TCW episodes, this was close to a 10. I can see where people's expectations could lead them to rank it around 2/10, but there's more to it than just being the third to the last episode for TBB. Most of the speculation and rumors aren't going to happen.
Crosshair's found them. He was the guy leaning on the post when the Batch and Cid were walking around town. I'm certain of it.
I like that idea
Any sumo fan out there? Did you see that Rick was using a Hakuho tshirt? I thought its a nice tee
Kind of generic episode but I'm excited for the next few weeks.

"It's something of a dishonourable thing to have your horn cut off." Maybe I'm going a little too deep into this, but if I had my horn cut off, the last thing on my mind would be honour! But that's just me. 8-Þ~
32:39 Never happens in *Star Wars!* XD
Megopterans, again? Primeval may be gone, but its legacy will live on forever
Does filoni have something against devaronians having two horns? vizago from rebels, burg in mandalorian & now durrand..
Filoni is a hornist 🤣.
I was hoping the Durand would be Vizago or however you spell it
I think it is! I feel like it might make sense!
Maybe Roland is Vizago's brother? Idk they look so similar!
Not a terrible episode but definitely weakest one so far. The main threat being a swarm of bugs, not once but twice, was a little annoying.
Not to mention they weren't even really a threat just like, a swarm lol
The main threat was the pikes actually, because everyone knows who the pikes work for.
@@tanner5809 The audience knows who the pikes work for, but nobody in the star wars galaxy really knows about Maul's involvement other than the leaders of the groups. He's 100% in hiding right now, as Palpatine would be an idiot to knowingly allow one of his former apprentices to regain power.
Yeah, it was a good episode but it feels way too late in the season for this tbh.
The main threat clearly was the pikes.
I don't really understand what makes the Pikes so powerful. I mean, i get you don't wanna start a war with them in general, but here there were only 3 pikes and they were able to order around everyone. Is it just that if they meet resistence they will send more? Or are these guys actual gods of some kind?
I love your videos.
I respect bugs enough to leave them TF ALONE!
My god I haven't been this early on a video since FMAB
Did you see one of the horn got cutoff in this episode?
