STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH 2x14 REACTION "Tipping Point"

[@asellape9270]

One thing I gotta give Crosshair, when he chooses something, he gives it everything, and he does not back down. Not always such a great thing, but at times, it is admirable how dedicated he can be.

[@-FourthInquisitor]

So true I’m glad he did not reveal the Bad batch whereabouts and warned them that they are in danger

[@jasonmarbach]

This show is SO underrated. Consistently peak every single week

[@pampoplayer]

Agreed

[@Baby_Bebbi_The_Fur]

For real!!!

[@jackson857]

Agreed.

[@labernaut9260]

Nah, these episodes like this are really good, but those filler episodes are annoying.

[@Baby_Bebbi_The_Fur]

@@labernaut9260 the only one I found annoying/bad was Entombed.

[@erikolson4148]

Emerie is showing even more sympathy, and Crosshair just stunned her instead of killing her because she showed compassion towards him 🥺😣😔.

[@reverseprime141]

Seeing Echo, Gregor and his clones scene made me like HAHA! Yeah let’s go!

[@clankers8929]

Killer intro for our recruited Clones, *Fireball & Nemec.* Instantly love these guys. Plus, the fact our Howzer knows Fireball.. Must have been affiliated with Commander Gree? And damn. My Crosshair. But being the man & not breaking. Standing his ground though he gets pushed around for it. Obstinance isn't always a drawback. Poor Cross. And how can you not love our Tech. After all, he has that Exceptional Mind. Great teacher, was there any doubt. And Bless our Echo. Hunter, it will never be enough. *#SAVECROSSHAIR*

[@kyletonarella4353]

I think that female scientist is gonna play a role in helping Crosshair out of this situation in the finale next week, especially with her concern over him, the last scene especially.

[@erikolson4148]

At the end of the episode, both directly before and after/during his interrogation/torture, he looked genuinely _frightened,_ and then *terrified* 😨 and in *_physical agony_* 🤕😰😱🥺😣😔😓.

[@scigirl451]

Seeing Howzer was a shock, but a very welcome one. It was a stellar episode and truly begins to draw together threads for the upcoming finale. I'm very worried, still, for Crosshair, who continues to protect his bothers (and sister) but I live in hope that his ending is at least as happy as the rest of the squad!

[@kaygee2121]

Tech so deserves the MVP this season!

[@Nothingness00000-o]

The Clones are rebelling!❤😀

[@jasonmarbach]

9:51 Hemlock out here giving Silco vibes

[@kulteska7551]

Silco? Please. He's based heavily on Dr. Josef Mengele. "The Angel of Death" of the Nazi SS.

[@moldomre4838]

Okay, this may sound odd, but this episode felt the most Star Wars movie-like. Not necessarily the most cinematic, but definitely an episode that made me think "Dang this could be a movie" Not entirely sure why, I think the fast pace of cutting back and forth between Crosshair, Echo, Bad Batch, back to Crosshair, etc. really made me think "oh we're setting up the rest of a movie here, this feels like Act 1"

[@Noblemiss]

Figures a character named "Hemlock (which is a poison) would be immune to poison....

[@erikolson4148]

Yeah, specifically a chemical toxin that is a formula he thought up and made. Most likely one of those *_"unauthorized and unusual experiments"_* (in other words illegal and unethical experiments) and tested on himself repeatedly to build up his immunity to it, and his sadism towards Crosshair and his other test subjects (victims) 😰😱!

[@lapisinfernalis9052]

I think that Hemlock may be responsible for the Shadow Trooper during the Coruscant episode. He might also plan to turn some of them into Death Troopers, since he seems to have a cybernetic hand/arm and enhanced himself in other ways too (like the immunity). He is the sort of scientist who is not mad like that dude on Naboo with the Blue Shadow Virus, but a cold calculating person who has no morals standing in their way. They are one of the darkest versions you can get as a scientist and I always like when the writers bring characters like Hemlock. An interesting fact btw: hemlock is also a very poisonous plant and very famous for assassinations in past times.

[@wardlafferty5022]

I don’t think Hemlock knows his time is short…yet another rival for Tarkin to dispose of.

[@joluoto]

Tarkin will keep Hemlock around as long as keeping Hemlock around is beneficial to him. When it's not, Hemlock will face an unfortunate series of completely circumstantial events.

[@clankers8929]

Hahaha, yep. Indeed so friend. (Krennic, Rampart)

[@erikolson4148]

Dr Royce Hemlock misinterpreted Crosshair's killing of Lieutenant Nolan as an act of self-preservation 🙄😒🤨, when, in truth, he did it as retribution for letting Mayday die 😠😡.

[@clankers8929]

Oh, how I hope Hemlock dies a long & very painful death. Please.

[@jackson857]

This show is sooo good! Loved this episode!

[@AarowSwift]

I'm of the opinion that Hemlock is responsible for the clone assassin. I think he's fiddling with the clones sent to him and turning them into..that. I have a hard time believing all of those commandos at Mt. Tanis are cool with their new jobs. I figure something's been done to them too.

[@clankers8929]

So intense & a little scary, that Clone X (I think it was Slick) knew who our Captain Rex was. Jaw dropper.

[@erikolson4148]

@@clankers8929 Clone X was too young-looking to have been Slick 🤔😓. Apparently it was implied that he was a Clone Commando, because his weapon (DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System also used by Clone Force 99, who also wear Katarn-class commando armor) is standard issue for commandos and was in sniper mode with added modifications 😓.

[@clankers8929]

@@erikolson4148 Aahh ok. Be pretty killer if Scorch joins our boys in this Clone uprising.

[@erikolson4148]

@@clankers8929 yeah 😓.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

My prediction is that Cyd ends up saving the Batch. Tech's pirate girlfriend might be the one to shame her into it but I really think she was trying to change. They REALLY set things up to make her seem shady.....well, moreso- but it'd be a great change to see Omega's shine rubbed off on her. I kinda fear for Tech's life after so much character development.

[@janekfilipowski9119]

Okay I think that this assistant of Hemlock might be traitor.There was focus on her in some crucial shots.Also I think that Scorch might be a part of spy-network inside of the Empire created by Echo and Rex

[@clankers8929]

This would be super cool friend. And yes, a lot of focus on Emerie at the end of this episode. They don't show these types of shots for nothing. She could be the key to Omega & Crosshair's escape. After all, Crosshair didn't kill her, he had every right to here. She positively knows this.

[@jackgroves2518]

I think the female scientist might be a clone, theres a resemblance and the accent is very close.

[@mikenelson1624]

👍✨💫✌️😎

[@joluoto]

So Bad Batch Season 1 was just kinda okay, relied way too much on cameos and crossovers. Bad Batch Season 2 though is great, and I enjoy it more than I enjoy Mando season 3 right now.

[@lordfoul6259]

This episode was proof that Dave Filoni has no filler episodes you guys should've learned this from Rebels and I lmao when Crosshair killed those stormtroopers while he was still drugged imo Palpatine made a big mistake by replacing clones with regular people as stormtroopers
