Summary
Clone Force 99 become stranded on a baron world after someone steals their ship forcing them to confront some difficult emotions.
Though this was a lot slower than the last few episodes I thought there was still a lot of good stuff here. It was nice to see the Bad Batch deal with the departure of Echo and their emotions surrounding that, yes this was done through the medium of Omega, who is annoying as usual, but even still it makes for quite an interesting introspection on change.
My issue with this episode comes from its ending and conclusions. In the end the Batch manage to contact Sid for help who promptly refuses them until she is guilted into reconsidering, my issue with this is how can the Batch have not seen thus far that Sid wasn’t there friend. They are supposedly expert special forces soldiers but they couldn’t see she has been using them this whole time? Hopefully after this weeks episode we can finally be done with Sid forever, she was never an interesting or likeable character and hopefully her villainous turn this week will lead to her being written off.
Overall, an interesting episode on an emotional front, but the conclusions reached feel like they have been obvious for a long, long time.
3/5
Pros.
Tech’s emotional journey
This feels like a very character driven episode
It is nice to have a platelet cleanser after the more action focused episodes from the week before
Cons.
Omega is just the worst
Sid’s betrayal
