Gave it a 10/10.

One of the only episodes in all 3 seasons to really blow me away.

Some great visuals, and it was nice to see Grievous and Ventress being badass. Shame about the edited death kiss though.

 

6.
Geeked out at first because Kamino was stunning. Loved the setting more than anything else. Nothing against the episode itself, but I got the impression we'd seen it all before. Especially the fight between Grievous and Kenobi.

 

Gave it a 9. A pretty healthy dose of awesome action (action which was actually pretty even to me), and character. Though I do note that the character bit works better when paired with Clone Cadets.

A subtle point is detracted for the whole 'Grievous vs Obi-Wan' rehashing and Shaak Ti's minor role, but I still enjoyed those because firstly, Grievous got some good licks in, and secondly, Shaak Ti had a great role in Clone Cadets, so this was icing on the cake.

Highlights would be Echo and Fives in battle, 99, and Ventress against Anakin.

 

Mass baby-slaughter, hunchback slaying, and necrophilia.

TCW, how did you go from that to poison tea?


I'm torn between 8 and 9. 8.5 rounds to 9 so 9 I guess.

 

i give seven because of Shaak Ti - but i agree battle was bit lame- especially when best parts were spoiled in previews- like tridents drilling themselves to the city and then escape of baddies- surprise, surprise

Asajj/Grievous scene was awesome though and as said Shaak in action- pure awesomeness- please change the kaminorepresentative and bring Shaak to the battlefield

 

9/10

Two people voted 1. Who are you and why?

 

10/10

My favorite prequel era battle.

 

It must be Filoni again

 

A perfect 10 for me. Incredible animation. Great lightsaber battles. A dazzling Shaak Ti. The best quote from Ventress ever. It'd be an 11 if they had included the Ventress-Clone kiss.

 

10 (of course)



Actually, it's like the pastry at my local bakery.

A few bugs, but generally yummy.

 

Gave it a 7. It was a good episode but I really didn't like the fact that they let Obi-Wan duel Grievous again. Should have given it an 8 though because the death of 99 and the moment where Anakin wanted to let the clones execute Ventress were awesome.

Also, swashbuckling, I think you accidentally gave it a 6 or 8, because there were no 7s before I voted.

 

"The best quote from Ventress ever"

Which one?

 

I'm guessing the one where she says there's nothing Grievous has that she could possibly want.

It has to be GG! Because clones were promoted to ARC Troopers!

 

I bet it wasn't him. However, I still would like to know who voted 1, so I could get some explanation.

 

Hmmm. Always two there are.

 

10. Both season openers were just perfect.

 

9/10 just because I thought 99's death could have been better. He was running to get something they said they didn't need

 

8/10. Great episode, took the series in a new direction. Regrettably, it didn't last. But anyway, my only gripe was that the battle didn't really seem that large. At most, we see only a few droids fighting a few clones. We don't get a good idea who big the battle on the ground really was. Pretty much a textbook example of "Suspiciously Small Army."

 

You guys have to stop thinking that I voted for 1.

While I hated ARC Troopers for all kinds of reasons, I did not vote for it yet.

 

I said you didn't.

 

Ooops number is above the bar ... sorry i gave six accidentally.... LOL error again i thought is above and it was below still i gave six as i said but i was about to give seven.... well six will do -episode was bit disappointing- i was expecting Shaak vs. Grievous duel and 99s death was uneccessary when he had no reason to go and i thought he was only physically weak but after all he wasn't so bright as he was in clone cadets and killed himself without good reason- disappointing - i was expecting he would sacrifice himself to save someone but he was just stupid in this to be frank- in cadets it seemed like his brains work normally and he was smarter than average clones.... now he suddenly was bit dumb
and i agree about Obi vs. GG duel- it was too similar to others- grievous pushed against the wall.... he escapes in his "scorpion-mode".... they really want to make Obi and Grievous to be arch enemies.... well they made it- they are arch enemies now- 4 duels so far.... let Windu to fight Grievous or Yoda or Plo Koon or Ki-Adi or anyone else

 

9.

Great episode, great animation and amazing battle sequences. This is currently my favorite episode of the season so far.

 

Gave it an 8. Decent episode, not my favourite this season, though.

 

I was only kidding, GG. Hence the:

I know that if you gave it a 1, you'd motivate it too.
