    Dr. Karr isn’t “allowing” the empire to do anything, it’s not up to her. She explicitly acknowledges in the episode that she doesn’t have the power to do anything for them. She cares, but her problem is not that she isn’t doing enough, it’s that doing anything risks her being punished and replaced by someone who cares about the children less. Remember, Nala Se cares about people but had to be replaced for doing something to help someone.
    The message is that, within an authoritarian structure, only few individuals actually have enough power to noticeably influence and change the institution from within, those few being at the top. No increase of will changes how much power she actually has in her situation.

      I think that's what Emerie tries to be and tries to find her purpose in life by doing that. But it's clear that she's finding it harder and harder to pretend that she can simply ignore what she sees going on around her and that it's either all for the greater good or its just science. I think because of the way she was "raised" and all she knows is being a scientist she's fi makes here want to be able to turn a blind eye to what she sees or knows because, like many of her clone brothers, she considers her job an integral part of her identity and wouldn't know what to do if she can't continue to be a scientist.

  • @GGBlaster
    @GGBlaster 2 місяці тому +18

    It’s true that Emerie has so far failed to really stand up against evil and try to make real, positive change. However, these small acts of kindness show that she does have a heart, and suggest that she may yet truly redeem herself.
    Another thing to note, Emerie probably feels powerless to stop this child experimentation (for now). She barely got the job, the person she’s replaced is now behind bars, and even the on-site security talks down to her. Add onto that the fact that SHE asked for the promotion; it’d raise eyebrows if she suddenly turned it down. She could’ve been promoted to lead of the Empire’s entire scientific division, and it wouldn’t matter, cause she’s being treated like an unappreciated secretary.
    Furthermore, there’s likely a palpable danger she felt as soon as she realized the moral depravity of the Empire. If they would go so far as to experiment on children, what might they do to people who step out of line?

    I'm definitely getting the feeling Emerie is going to finally turn against the Empire, and Crosshair's failure to hit with the tracking device is setting her up for final good guy turn as what allows Omega to contact the Batch.
    Some of the statements seem to imply that she was discarded by Nala Se and then essentially raised by Hemlock. And that can't be good for any child's development.

    My guess is CX's are either phase zero dark troopers or pre-dark troopers (potentially just test units to see how effective a cyborg like unit could be) and the picture we see on his screen is of a more modern version than the ones we've seen so far (with more dark troopery like visors.)

      personally i feel like if CX-2 is anyone Tech would have the most dramatic weight to it (esp since Omega is now in his vicinity), but with only four eps left (albeit with the finale likely being longer than normal) i'm not gonna hold my breath for even a reveal

      I personally think it will be someone we know, but I'm not sure who. I think it would be a bit silly for it to be Tech, but it *would* have a lot of emotional weight behind it, like you said, and SW does have a habit of choosing emotional stuff like that over what makes the most rational sense.
      I personally think Cody is more likely, especially seeing as we've had zero mention of or updates on him since he went AWOL, and I think he would've found and linked up with Rex and Echo's operation by now if he was out on his own and free. He's too smart not to have.
      But I hope to god it's neither.
      Tech deserves his peace in death, and Cody is too much of a hero to me personally for me to want him back if that's the condition.
      Another point for it being Cody though is he continued working for the Empire till his death in Legends, and we know Filoni still likes acknowledging the EU and finding inspiration in it.

      It’s ether a clone of crosshair which I personally thing is what the case is the movement the subtle hints of his voice mixed with a regular clones voice his accuracy and not to mention the range finder on his helmet so that what I’m going with the other option is Cody I’m sorry to all the people that think it’s tech but it just isn’t and honestly I’ll be disappointed if it turns out to be him because at the end of they day I’m not saying all of them are going to die but we are going to start to lose people in the next four episodes and I just think it’s a waste to bring him back plus like other people have said it would make his sacrifice void like I say it’s ether Cody or crosshair clone but I’m mainly going with the clone we know
      crosshair turned on the empire because of how they treated another clone who wanted to serve the empire like crosshair once that happened he realised even the ones who want to be apart of it dont matter one bit if that didn’t happen I honestly belive he’d still be apart of it and I think hemlock knows that like crosshair said hemlock is smart very smart if your gonna have a cx assassin you might as well have it be a clone or probably excluding sev the best sniper and the clone who always did what was needed to be done I think Cody it could just be a case of wherever Rex and echo are they are finding more clones to recruit and wouldn’t surprise me if when we see him next and the clones he’s with Cody is already part of it

    I have already seen it discussed that the CX troopers might be the equivalent to Phase 0 Dark Troopers, so Hemlock's upgrade(?) seen here I think could easily lead into the introduction of actual Dark Troopers, especially since with Phase 1 they would probably be the most organic (given how in canon Phase 3 is the opposite of Legends where they become completely mechanical), and Hemlock seems most involved in biological science so it makes sense it would be him involved here.

    Until now, she didnt know about the children. Now that she knows, she doesn't know what to do. It does the children nothing for her to be reckless and fail. That only results in them getting worse treatment and her death. She has to wait for the right moment and the right plan to make a real difference.

    I have a theory regarding the CX trooper. I might be the only person who thinks this, but I think that he is Crosshair. Now, hear me out. Crosshair's a clone, so that Angle is covered. We also know that it is (somewhat) possible to transplant memories in the Star Wars Galaxy (at least via the Force, but whos to say they can't do it through technology either). It also explains the captured CX troopers' reaction to Crosshair when they met on Teth, as well as the who teasing of who it might be, but also Crosshair's hand shaking problem. And to further reinforce this theory, these last two episodes had a couple of instances where the CX trooper sounded a lot like our favourite Sniper...
