    -------------------------------------

    Discussion of New Episodes - Rules
    (1) One of the mods will post each week's episode thread a day or two before it airs on Disney+.

    (2) Official episode commentary may be posted in this episode thread.

    (3) Discussion in the actual episode thread will be limited to that specific episode, NOT future episodes; past episodes may be referenced. Speculation based on released material is permitted.

    (4) The Bad Batch episodes air on Wednesday on Disney+. Anyone who shares plot details about an episode before then must use spoiler tags. After that folks will begin discussing their reviews and thoughts without tags which will likely include spoilers. To anyone concerned about being spoiled before watching the episode it is your responsibility to avoid the thread until you have had your chance to view.

    (5) All leaks and rumors must be spoiler tagged until they are either proven or disproven.

    (6) Reviews for each episode may be posted once they have aired. One of the mods will add a grading poll to that episode's discussion thread.

    Looks like we're getting an episode of Omega and Crosshair in confinement.
    I just didn't think they'd run across Kino Loy so fast.

    And indeed after finding Kino Loy, the play one One Way Out with One Face All was a nice touch...though it would have better if it wasn't a musical number.

    I didn’t think I needed to see Crosshair eating cereal for a whole episode, while Omega reprimanded him for having no good job prospects. But I did need to see it. Very Andor-esque. I liked it.

    I like the new opening credits. It's amazing that they were able to get the rights to use "Overture, curtain, lights, this is it, we'll hit the heights."

    Such a bleak and dark episode. Definitely setting the tone for this final season. I loved it!

    I mean, you were at least half-right (depending on whoever Kino Loy is)...! :)

    Slow burn but I kind of dug it. I liked the full focus taking place on Tantiss, I've never minded not seeing the actual Bad Batch for an episode at all.
    I'm sure Batcher(?) will prove to be crucial down the road. 7/10

    I loved how the repeats of the routine made the episode feel longer. Just like staying in the same place.

    Yeah, a couple of moments really resonated with me. Struck a perfect balance, though. Bleak without being depressing.

    I am going to check something real quick, but there is a shot where Omega is marking the days half way through the episode. I’m gonna count them

    okay Omega was at Mount Tantis for 140 days at least. I think there are more tallies than that so I it is probably more than that.

    Question is, how long is a rotation on the planet Weyland? Is it a standard day? Omega doesn't have a clock; she's using daylight.

    Either way I would probably say the true number is closer to half a year

    So something I noticed from the trailer footage. We have seen almost all footage that has Omega in it. Only two scenes we haven’t seen are Omega flying the ship during the day. And Omega, Crosshair and Batcher after they crash said ship. Other than that we have had no other scenes with Omega

    They probably crash said ship next episode. And we see her fly and crash.

    It makes me think that the likelihood of my other theory of Omega being captured again is very likely. I hate to imagine what the empire will do with her.
