He's a far cry from who he was back in Domino squad.

[@Lazarultos]

@@connorgrynol9021 Someone else said it before, but Echo has become an... "Echo" of Domino squad, and has taken on aspects of his fallen brothers' personalities. Fives' creativity and resourcefulness. Cutup's sense of humor and mischief. Droidbait's willingness to throw himself into danger for the sake of others. And Heavy's determination and stubbornness to do what he thinks is right. Echo is not Domino squad, but he's what remains of them. The last garbled echoes of their voices in the galaxy, which he will broadcast until his final days.

It's been like that for awhile but yes it is really cool.

[@Verebazs]

@@joshwilliams5860 Yes they are. Just take a good look at their faces. It's the exact same design as all the other clones, except feminised. Just like how Omega is a girl version of TCW pre-teen Boba.

[@jackson857]

I love how you can hear a bunch of different music from throughout the season in this episode. The music from the episode 'The Outpost' is really prominent in the Crosshair scenes.

[@PerovNigma]

1) I love that you can hear a distorted, distant-sounding variation of Mayday's leitmotif when Crosshair is taken to the interrogation room, and when he finds a console to send out his warning. 2) It's peculiar to me that Tarkin - and Sid, in previous episodes - has a coloured hologram. I'm so used to seeing them as only blue or only red. I thought that Snoke's hologram in _The Force Awakens_ was a sign that hologram technology had advanced, but clearly that's been a thing for decades.

[@jonasquinn7977]

To be fair Hemlock is the head of the ADVANCED Science Division

[@PerovNigma]

If Im not mistaken I think there is a little color on R2D2's hologram of Leia in A New Hope. But you're right that they are often completely or at least mostly one color

[@OrionInSpace]

Getting Howzer back again is great! Glad they tied that back in and showcased it but also seeing new Clones join the force with their own cool designs is awesome! Next week it's all going down people. We could get a small Clone uprising and revolt from our main current clones that we've seen, Scorch might come back in, Crosshair rescue with the Bad Batch AND all within two episodes at once. Let's do this!🙏

[@applefanatic414]

All the other amazing stuff in this episode aside, MAN Kevin Kiner deserves to score more Star Wars stuff, his score this season has been exceptional.

[@yetibeardson1168]

Hell yeah. This as well as his score for Tales of the Jedi seems to be using more dark sounding synth stuff. And it's super awesome.

[@OEx25]

This show is just everything Star Wars should be. Stunned by how much I'm loving it, but glad it exists. Thrilling and phenomenal "action" storytelling and then just a delightful Omega episode.

[@blasecascadeanimation4671]

One option is that Mt. Tantiss wasn’t where they were actually training TK’s, it’s just where Gregor was being held after defection, and when he tried to escape at the beginning of Warmantle, that was just an escape attempt

[@swooshie4749]

that makes sense because the nurse lady says crosshair won’t be able to escape the hounds

[@luftwaffles274]

If people and reactors actually paid attention to the show, they would notice that Mt. Tantiss is on the planet Weyland and not on the planet Daro, where Gregor escaped from.

[@AirbenderHawk]

BRUH!!!!!!!! The seeds for a clone rebellion had been planted since the start, and seeing Howzer, Gregor, and Echo working together is the most epic thing I've ever seen. Also, Rex and Cody will no doubt show up again for the finale by next week. On top of that, we're getting dual episodes so that's good. The one detail that stood out to me is Crosshair's old code for the bad batch to intercept. I'm so anxious to see how it all ends, but at the same time excited to see it all unfold.

[@brianalambert1192]

"I suggest you complete the maneuver before I come to my senses" I have never laughed so hard at a Tech line

[@rileybridgham1963]

It's nice to see Howzer, I was wondering what happed to him. And I'm happy that Omega and Echo are reunited, love your videos, your commentary is hilarious, keep up the great work.

5:46 I didn't know I needed to hear the Imperial March blaring on tubas, but that was sweet

[@eknar8937]

Loved seeing Gregor and Howzer again. Great times. Still waiting on Wolf tho.

[@moldomre4838]

I love how there's a chapter in this video specifically for Echo and his ship. When I saw the episode, the first thing that popped into my head upon seeing that ship was "I bet Blind Wave will love this." I could literally hear Aaron say "Ooh what's this ship, it's cool!"

[@claytonepich2132]

I always forget that Echo is older than Rex and Fives. Him saving clones behind enemy lines must hit home for him.

[@RangerHouston]

$20 says Cid put a tracker on their ship. I’ve never trusted her.

[@jennym2276]

I'd take that bet. Cyd has nothing to do with it. The bad batch is going to find that medical facility and go to the empire, not the empire come to them.

[@fallsong1050]

​@@jennym2276 unless she sells them out for the money the empire is offering and Omega I'd brought to the facility maybe with a tracker sp they can find it and rescue Crosshair? Just guessing hehe

[@fallsong1050]

[@RangerHouston]

@@jennym2276 this is the classic tale of the warriors journey. They settle down, make a life for themselves somewhere peaceful and prosperous, but the danger follows them and destroys what they’ve built so the warrior has to move on knowing they can never settle down.

[@ItApproaches]

Nah, I could see the Bad Batch needing to return to Cid asking her for help in getting info on the Empire where Crosshair is, and there being tension there, she'll be like OHHH, just ignore me then come crawling back for help huh!

[@dm_dude]

When they captured the evil clone agent they said, that he didn’t had any tags and they were very confused, because that shouldn’t be possible. So every Clone has their number marked. Either on their body or in their genetic code or a microchip. Something like that. And that you could remove it or even change it seemed impossible to the Batch.

[@NorthernLaw_]

Seeing all the Clones in action against the Empire was so cool I hope we see more of this. So there is only 2 episodes left and they have done way too much setup so I'm assuming some of this might be tackled in Season 3 if that's happening? Whatever is going to happen with Sid mainly, there is no way that can happen if the Batch is going to be going after Crosshair going forward so it must be for the 3rd Season

[@shirosaki15]

That's what I was thinking.

[@ForgeofAule]

So happy to see Gregor again before Rebels!

[@invaderpez12]

I like the detail of how when Crosshair was drugged, he would miss the first shot and putting in the device he missed it at first too

[@chrisziegenhagel1987]

There was a fireball clone in Clone Wars. I believe it was the Arc where Greivous goes to attack a clone medical facility and they take fighters through a nebula as a shortcut. I always remember it because his ship gets damaged and Aniken says something like “hold it together Fireball” then he almost immediately explodes.

[@scizorlord5126]

I think that was Matchstick, but I could be wrong.

[@JaysonJames-np2ko]

Theory: What if the female doctor is cares about omega because she’s not actually a clone? What if she was working as a scientist on kamino, and she had a natural born child with JANGO FETT!!! This could explain why Omega is the only girl, and why the doctor sounds incredibly similar to her.

[@iso460]

[@TamrailKinogo]

Didn't Tech say that Omega is a clone and the only one with pure Jango Fett DNA other than "Alpha" aka Boba?

[@jennym2276]

She is a clone that ages.

[@Barbara7567_]

I mean Omega even remembers that she was created in Nala Se’s private lab. It might be that she is eager to begin testing on the Zillo beast but she needs omega to persuade Nala Se to begin her work.

[@alicia8581]

22:38 haha they mention that he wants to make sure the boots were comfortable definitely referencing Peter Cushings slippers

[@ketchup016]

As an adult, I can see the Batch loves and cares for Omega, but sometimes I think she needs more overt affection! When Echo said he hadn't been gone that long and Omega disagreed, it made me think of how slowly time passes to a kid, where a month does feel like forever. Give her more hugs, boys.

[@ericcunningham1678]

Aaron’s impression of Gregor 👌🏻👌🏻

[@neobot2751]

Such a good episode, favourite of this season so far

[@jacobhogan3208]

I'm nervous about death coming up, not for Crosshair, but for Tech. This episode made me want the squad to reunite even more but I know in my heart someone is going to die. Here's why: *My Theory:* Tech's prominence this season early on, his character growth, the amount he was emphasized in this episode as being someone who could help or as Omega's teacher, and his relationship with Omega in general as well as his situation with Phee makes me believe that if anybody dies it would be him as a twist. I could see Crosshair joining the team next season and that be part of his arc, he's got a lot of potential development to go if we bring him in, especially if Tech dies. That could also play into Cid's character next season if she feels responsible.

[@MikeHesk742]

I agree, if there's a death in the family Tech has always seemed like the most disposable, and this season has been making him more prominent in a very "death flag" kinda way.

[@rorylawford]

Your thinking makes so much sense.

[@vahlte]

What if Pabu is just an island community on Scarif?

[@RubenAssassinRose]

In the gambit books, there's a clone pilot in gold squadron called Fireball who was promoted to captain, I wouldn't be surprised if they were the same trooper

[@asellape9270]

7:35 The end of the Occupation of Balmorra theme is Revan’s theme. I love that tune.

[@airsoft6147]

The beginning of this episode gave me flashbacks to the 501st story campaign in the old battlefront 2 when you're boarding the Tantive 4 and you start out in this small room and as soon as the door explodes out the rebel a.i. just starts chucking grenade after grenade inside, forcing you to run out into the hallway to get gunned downed. One of the hardest levels in the story.

[@khelatar]

Dr. Karr has the red glasses, Dr. Scalder has the bangs. Scalder was only in one scene in this episode, she came in during Crosshair's first interrogation and reported to Hemlock about the hijacked clone transport.

[@RandomRuffian]

That gas has to be some form of what the Nihil use in the high republic novels

The Bad Batch is an amazing TV show and I'm totally attached by it. As soon as I open my eyes wednesdays morning I have to watch the weekly episode. I like the live action series, but for a reason I don't know yet, I really love the animations. All of them give a lot to think. I have a special feeling with this squad, Clone Force 99. For me, it's fantastic to watch their evolution as citizens in the galaxy, not merely soldiers that used to follow orders. Besides, The Bad Batch is filling so many gaps of the fists years after after The Revenge of The Sith. The Clone Wars serie was a huge sucess because made us love the clone troopers and now with The Bad Batch, even knowing that The Empire will overpower the galaxy, we do care with each one of them. I myself would like to keep each member of Clone Force 99 safe and alive. Dave Filone idea of Star Wars give me hope that at least some of them may survive. I love Hunter, Echo, Tech, Wrecker, Omega, Crosshair, Gonk and AZI.
