ok there is NO WAY i’m doing a full episode thoughts thing anytime soon but I do have to talk abt one Crosshair thing:
When I first watched the episode, Crosshair picking up the gun and shooting everyone felt like a desperate escape attempt, I thought that was where they were going with it. I thought he would try to run and end up failing. And that wasn’t the case.
But watching it again, there’s more to it. (and it’s probably kinda obvious but listen i’m just interested bshsjsjsk) Firstly, Crosshair isn’t trying to escape. He grabs the gun, fights his way through the facility, and intentionally makes his way to a transmission hub. He calls the batch, but what does he tell them?
Plan 88. The Seeker. Which Tech explains as “We’re being targeted.” And we see Crosshair after the coms cut still trying to speak, warning them: “You have to hide. They’re after O-“
First of all HE ALMOST SAYS OMEGAS NAME OMG AAAAAA but secondly, he’s telling them to run. He’s warning them to get away because the Empire is gunning for them and he will not allow that to happen. He’s fighting to keep them safe, not just by refusing to help the Empire find them, but by actively warning them to hide.
He breaks free from the empires control and uses the precious moments he has to warn them about the Empire.
But he doesn’t ask for help.
He calls the batch, directly contacting them for the first time in who knows how long, while he’s currently imprisoned and being tortured and experimented on, but he doesn’t do it to save himself, he just wants them to stay safe. He doesn’t bother telling them anything about his situation, he doesn’t say where he is, he doesn’t say that he’s in trouble, he doesn’t ask for help at all. I wonder if he even thinks about it.
…so yeah anyway Crosshair is the absolute best brother he cares SO MUCH OMG HES AN ABSOLUTE SWEETHEART WAAAAAAAAA
