#the bad batch finale

[techwrecker]

There would be no other point to reveal CX-2 as Tech except for:

-emotional distress (killing him again)

-future projects (new show)

-completing the family and having them live happily ever after (i’m delusional)

[rebekadjarin]

I will cherish this forever. Whatever happens in the finale, this is who they are. A family, brothers, together. In my mind, forever...

Random finale prediction:

Omega releases the Zillo Beast to cover her and the kids escaping from Tantiss.

Echo is with Emerie when this happens. Emerie is Very Worried about this unexpected turn of events. Echo, however, knows exactly who released the Zillo Beast. (Of course, it’s Omega. Who else would release such a dangerous beast to provide ample coverage?)

Eventually, Echo and Emerie find Omega and the kids among the chaos of Tantiss. The kids are understandably still scared about being able to get out successfully — and they’re worried about using what weapons Omega pilfered for them.

And Omega very kindly tells them, “It’s okay. I used to have trouble with weapons. Big lesson for using them today is — it’s all about tuning out distractions when you’re firing.”

Cue Echo getting teary and proud at hearing Omega pass along the same advice to the kids that he once gave her.

yes I am a Hunter girlie, how did you know???

[forcesavetheclones]

okay I have to tell you something.

so as we know our current state is rather horrific. there is one episode left, there's like shit ton of BARELY OPENED threads, Cody's still missing, like I told you I think there are plans for Scorch, Wolffe - generally, zillo beast and many other things.

but what I'm trying to get to is that in my opinion CROSSHAIR STILL HAS HIS CHIP.

yes I know he said in s1 he had it removed, but don't you think he's too big of a character not to show us the actual removing, or at least actually connect it with something, for example his scar? which I still think wouldn't have much sense becouse the scar is from a burn, and burns are superficial, so no way it could affect his skull, let alone brain. beside that we're missing the fact that he had no knowing that he had a chip, the batch is informed that they have them in the second episode, reminding - Hunter was confused, so I assume they rather thought it was their entire being that was controlled becouse as clones they are genetically altered. Crosshair also says to Wrecker that lying was never his strong side, so if Crosshair can always tell when Wrecker is lying, we can assume he's a good liar (becouse he understands the psychology and the body language of lying). so he probably lied, not knowing what chip is, trying to defend himself and indicate dominance over Hunter to shut him up.

there is a few scenes where we can see Crosshair experiencing headachec, and also through what do you think did the empire created the X assassin clones if they already had a very useful tool for that?

I AM SO EXCITED🫡🫡

[totally-not-your-babe]

I have one question:

What happened with the clone cadets and babies?! I mean they took them from Kamino but they are training storm troopers now not young clones. We can't see them anywhere, the Commandos not training them, we didn't see them in Mount Tantiss...

WHERE ARE THEY?! WHERE ARE THE KIDS AND BABIES?! ARE THEY OKAY?! ARE THEY SAFE?!

[ilovemedia]

Ok so this right?

But hang on what about this

There the same picture.

[ghostmistdraws]

Okay real talk.

We all hate what happened. It was horrible and we all love him. But let's talk about it from a story writing standpoint.

Tech from the beginning of this season has been trying to show his love for his family in the ways he knows how. In Ruins of War, he showed it by perservering to help Omega and Echo even through a painful injury, which is very in character. In Faster, he showed his loyalty to not only his family but Cid by competing in the race. In Truth and Consequences, he helped find the information to help ALL his brothers. The Crossing showed him jumping without hesitation the moment he saw Omega in danger. And then he told Omega "I may not process moments and thoughts the saw way, but it isn't mean I feel any less than you do." Also he was the first person to say hey needed to go save Crosshair.

All of these inherently small moments show how much Tech loves his brothers and sister and his care for them. Tech's love language is sacrifice.

He sacrificed his safety multiple times to help and show his family he cares, he sacrifices things he wants to do to make his brothers and Omega happy.

He sacrificed his life to show his family he loves them.

Tech's character arc this season shows that even though he isn't affectionate, he loves his family so much.

[crosshairslongasslegs]

me, my fucking oblivious clown ass just realising that “plan 99” was never about saving crosshair but was named after clone 99 who sacrificed himself on kamino to save his brothers and THAT’S WHY THEY NAMED IT PLAN 99 AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT TECH DID TOO OHH IM SICK-

[techwrecker]

I’m lowkey panicking with the realization setting in that with The Bad Batch finale, this could very well be the closing of the prequel era.

I’m not ready to let it go.

[yen-stanning]

I desperately need an hour long finale or longer even

like I could see it all going down in 25 minutes but I think the payoff of everything leading up to this moment would get lost in the creatives trying to wrap it up in under 30 minutes

this show really does not deserve a rushed ending. Plus, we were also already robbed of a full 16-episode season and now have 15... like how can the final one not be a supersized episode at this point?!

[ladygelfling]

I never post here normally but have a Bad Batch comic I made.

[huntingforstardust]

[not-a-big-slay]

plan 99 is named after the clone 99 that was a janitor on Kamino and sacrificed himself when separatists attacked Tipoca City in the clone wars.

i will just cry now, thank you very much
