    I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking, "It's just outgassing."

    I hear ya but I am hoping that Echo's insistence that they should be doing more has a payoff later in the season. I suspect this was a heist to link into last season kind of like the Order 66 and Clone Wars style intro last season and will set up for the change into something new moving forward. I am hoping so anyway.

    I'm glad that it looks like Echo will play a more important role this season. Having him be the member of the group who wants to fight against the Empire the most makes sense. He was always the perfect by-the-book soldier, so even if he is disillusioned by what the Republic/Empire has become, old habits die hard.

    Gave both of them a 9. As you all know by this point I suck at grading things. Giving way to many things a 10/10

    Fun episode. I like that it sets up what I think will be the central conflict of the season. Are the Bad Batch just mercenaries now or do they fight for something greater? Should they fight at all or simply settle down and care for Omega? Very interesting questions that the season premiere brings up. 8/10

    Again, nicely done... some interesting elements, but feels a bit like filler. I still like it though... 6/10

    So, Lambda and Delta shuttles were mentioned. Hope that this season will end with some big Imperial operation (preferably, subjugation of Kashyyyk), that will include early usage of iconic ships, like ISDs and TIE fighters.

    It was funny how I just watched Avatar 2 yesterday and now this show starts on planet that looks like coasts of Pandora... Whatever planet that was though? New world or some more familiar beach world Scarif, Kothlis, Tibrin, Glee Anselm, Rakata Prime, Rishi, Pantolomin or Niamos? Could've been any one of those, I guess episode guide will tell.

    This really has me steamed! I’m currently on the sidewalk on my way home from the bustacean, but I will reply to this unclawful provocation once I get back!

    I slept on bad batch when it first came out, only to discover later that it was pretty good. I watched both new episodes yesterday, and they didn’t disappoint! I’m excited to see where this goes.

    Enjoying them more than half of the live action streaming output. Never, ever thought I would say that.
