2.5/5
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
The Bad Batch finally get to set out on their own for a mission without Omega that takes them right into the heart of Separatists space.
I have been excited about the prospect of the clones setting off on an adventure of their own, without Omega, for a while. Sadly, the chosen adventure for this outing is one of the tamest and most boring of the series so far.
I think the group works better on missions without Omega, and here it is nice to see them back in their element again. Although the idea of having the clones have to help out their former enemy may look good on paper as a character growth storyline the emotional pay off here just doesn’t land at all and it all feels very inconsequential.
Whilst away from the Batch Omega has a side story about how she isn’t useless, though she is and the only reason she often saves the day is because of blind luck rather than skill. Anyway, this storyline finishes with her paying off the groups debts and having a bonding moment with Hunter, which as I have said before and will say again does not work, they are trying to do a Grogu esque father/child bond and it is not taking at all.
Overall, this is very much a miss-able episode.
Pros.
Seeing the Batch do what they do best
The idea of the clones having to help the Separatists
Cons.
The episode is dull and boring
The emotional pay off doesn’t work
Omega is still dragging the show down
