The Bad Batch: The Summit + Plan 99 [2x15 + 2x16] ✦ Watchalong Reaction & Review
Added 2023-03-29 21:00:13 +0000 UTCHey everyone! This week I am swapping my Bad Batch and Breaking Bad days for reaction releases just because I was too eager to get my reaction out for the final two episodes of this season of the show. I am very excited to discuss these two episodes. I have speculations that I dive into in my review. I'll certainly be thinking about this for a while. I feel like I need a month to recover from it.

Cheers,

Ok I think most of the Bad Batch fans are in a similar state of numb denial regarding Tech’s “Death”, and I am one of them. I do think that he is probably dead, but I hope I’m wrong, and I see it as a possibility! It would make sense to have Omega, Tech, and Crosshair at mount Tantis, and Hunter, Echo, and Wrecker searching for them. A nice even split between the group🤞! And the project that Nala Se is being asked to work on is interesting. We don’t know for sure what it is, it could be more Zillo Beast stuff, it could be Cloning Palpatein himself, because the Rise of Skywalker Palpatein is technically a Clone with OG Sheev’s spirt in it. And Rey’s Dad is a clone of Palpatein. Or it could be what Hemlock mentioned about creating a subservient population of Clone Citizens for the Empire to rule🤷♂️, or a 4th option. Also the planet the Summit was on is Tarkin’s Homeworld, it is known for having a harsh and deadly wilderness. And I believe that we’ve actually met everyone at Tarkin’s Summit meeting. Tarkin, Krennic, Hemlock, and then one of them looks like Plo Koon’s Admiral from Clone Wars, and the other looks like one of the Officers at Tarkin’s table on the Death Star in A New Hope. And I think that the empty seat was for Rampart😅. I am now excited to Watch the Rebels Season 2 Finale right after this to make SURE I cry tonight😂😭! Loved your Reaction Kaiielle! And I’m SO EXCITED for Season 3, because THEY UAVE TO MAKE 1-2 more Seasons!!!

2023-03-31 06:21:22 +0000 UTCDon't worry, I am. I haven't ran into any specifics in any reactions I've seen.

2023-03-31 00:41:12 +0000 UTCOh and just be careful of reactions to Bad Batch, people might reference things that happen in other shows.

2023-03-31 00:11:00 +0000 UTCThis was an evil season finale. I'd rather Tech be dead than being made into a Dark Trooper prototype or something and losing all of himself to serve the empire. I just wanted him to be with Phee and that might be the delusional head canon I create for myself.

2023-03-31 00:10:19 +0000 UTCOn the other hand, I am very intrigued about the female clone researcher. And the whole cloning thing... I would prefer for it to be about something else, because I don't like Palpatine's return, BUT I think the main research effor on cloning could be related to ensuring Palpatine can return if killed.

2023-03-30 23:31:21 +0000 UTCOkay, that was a great finale, and very much unpredictable, but I loved it. I am very much torn on Tech being dead or not. I love him and definately, the Bad Batch will not be the same without him, and I don't want him dead, he has had the most growth out of the whole Bad Batch crew, specially thiss season. But at the same time, we have seen way too many characters brought back from the dead, and I believe with Maul it was definately worth it, and with Echo too, (but with Palpatine in the Rise of Skywalker not so much, in my opinion), We even got Gregor back from the dead, which I don't think was bad, but also maybe a bit unnecessary. But, while I think there's a good chance Tech survived, I do realise that with the track record in Star Wars, keeping him dead would be less predictable than him being alive: if the writers were brave enough to kill him, perhaps it is better for them to be brave enough to keep him dead.

2023-03-30 23:25:05 +0000 UTCOoh, I'm down for your theory! Honestly, Crosshair was always the one I expected to go and his sacrifice would make the most sense based on everything that has happened. Guess we'll have to wait the long wait and see!

2023-03-30 12:56:25 +0000 UTCI was totally wondering if that was Krennic when I saw him at the table with Tarkin and 💥! I was right! So awesome to get a Jyn reference (stardust) No way Tech is dead, I’d put money on it. I don’t even think they found him, just his glasses. He got out of it somehow. My guess is that he will reunite with Sid and she’ll have some kind of redemption arc next season. Kinda like Lando. They’ll meet up with Rex and join the others to save Omega. I still think Crosshair will die by the end. Thanks for the reaction and thoughts at the end. I’m guessing Season 3 will be late next year, Septemberish. 🤘

2023-03-30 03:37:37 +0000 UTCI'm very excited for S3 and you're right, him going out on his own terms IS a good thing. I just have hope. Like I did/do with Crosshair. 😂
kaiielle
2023-03-30 01:56:41 +0000 UTCWhat an ending! I love how you threw in a little Last Of Us reference in there because if Season 3 is anything like Joel looking for Ellie then boy howdy! Im with you! I don't want to believe hes gone😭 But, I'd rather see him go out on his terms and be heroic in his fall than him getting captured, you know? There's no doubt Hemlock would turn him against us, just like how they did Echo to Rex. We got lucky once rescuing Echo from Separatists with the help of a Jedi. But this is the Empire, they see clones as "property". Also loved how they tied in Rouge One in these episodes! At first, I couldn't for the life of me remember why the name Director Krennic sounded so familiar. The way my eyes widen when I heard project Star Dust😳 This season finally we lost, bad. HOWEVER, this might mean the come back arc next season is gonna be crazy! Hopefully season 3 isn't far😅

2023-03-30 01:29:46 +0000 UTCThis is all Saw Gerrera's fult. If only he chose to not blow the place up then our boys, and girl would have escaped.

2023-03-30 01:22:31 +0000 UTCTotally. At the end of the day, she's just lookin' out for herself as anyone should do. Still sucks, though.
kaiielle
2023-03-30 01:15:41 +0000 UTCThis was the empire strikes back with Cid being Lando, but without a security force to help turn things around. I'm disappointed, but not mad at her. It was a lose lose situation with the empire.
Jam
2023-03-30 00:53:54 +0000 UTCI think because this is a "kids show", that's why there isn't any blood. But you're right, it's not something we see pretty much ever. Thanks for joining me in the hopeful camp! I have a permanent seat there until Season 3.
kaiielle
2023-03-29 22:28:50 +0000 UTCEver since Lama Su informed Hemlock about Omega I was expecting her to get caught by the end of the season. Only thing that was uncertain was how and where. Now, it seems that nobody in the SW universe ever bleed, but I would knida have expected to see blood on Tech's goggles. So the theory of him having survived the fall still have some hold in my mind. 🤞 Gonna be torture to wait for S3...

2023-03-29 22:27:02 +0000 UTCI am truly going through the DENIAL stage of grief right now and probably gonna sit in that for a while. I know that's exactly why I didn't bawl my eyes out during that scene because I just didn't see it coming, didn't want it to come, didn't accept it. 😅
kaiielle
2023-03-29 22:23:56 +0000 UTCI don't know what to say really. I just cried a river at that last episode i was not even happy at the Omega's sister confirmation or mad at the Cid betrayal. It was a great season but it is a hard cliffhanger and an even harder death to accept. Thanks for the reaction, looking forward to get some info on a season 3 at Celebration.

2023-03-29 22:17:12 +0000 UTCThe Summit just gave me massive Castle Wolfenstein vibes from the Cable carts to the massive fortress on top of a mountain. Love those cool red Stormtroopers who seem to be the replacement for the Clone Shock Troopers. Seeing Orson Krennic and hearing the mention of Project Stardust was also a fun little Rogue One nod. Rogue One itself mentioned Project "War Mantle" which we saw in Bad Batch Season 1 with the introduction of TK Troopers so everything's came full cycle. Love the AT-ST we saw in Plan 99 great seeing prototype and early versions of Imperial equipment we know from the original trilogy. Hopefully we see early Tie Fighters in Season 3 and who knows maybe a new Star Destroyer like the Victory Class from the EU.

2023-03-29 21:35:21 +0000 UTCI wonder what made you so eager 😁😁 Looking forward to watch the reaction ❤️
