Our confused king hits us with another "what" question

“Loyal to no one but yourself.”

“I’ve changed.”

MY BOY DADDY WARCRIMES 😭

[elektroskopik]

Wants: Echo and Emerie to escape together (after rescuing Omega, the kids, and some clones) and then they go on adventures together. Not. Romantic. Adventures.

Just fun.

Needs: Scorch kills Hemlock and GTFOs there.

MY HEART! Are you KIDDING ME?!

I'm maybe a little salty about something tonight. 🧂Just four episodes left to the season and he's had so little screen time...

cross is spotted with a toothpick again - the world is healing

(also the fact he got one after being in his old Armour again tells me there must be a toothpick dispencer somewhere in it)

I always thought of Echo as the older brother in the batch, not just because of his age compared to the others. But because of how he interacts with them, he is the responsible one; he is the most mature and the one who sees the bigger picture and does things for the greater good. Even if Hunter is the "leader", Echo doesn't try to impose; he can give his insights on matters he believes are important, but ultimately he lets Hunter take his own decisions. He is the most experienced; let's not forget he was an ARC trooper, and he worked alongside Anakin Skywalker and the 501st.

And with the last episode, he is the one whom his brothers can rely on, no matter what. I am the youngest of my siblings, and I understand from where it comes that trust and comfort that they seek out in him. I remember when I was feeling overwhelmed and hopeless in some situations in my life, and I always ended up calling my older brother for advice, like if he could "magically" fix everything.

Every time The Batch®️ does something IT, all I can think about is Tech, watching them from clone heaven and facepalming because he probably knows about at least 3 easier ways on how to do it lmao

Ok but the original Bad Batch theme song playing so triumphantly in this moment? When we haven't heard it in so long! Frickin GORGEOUS.

[minecraftian1213]

So we can all agree Batcher is a service dog now right? Look at the way she kept looking after Crosshair. We need to get her a vest. Make it official.

I wanted to share my thoughts about the first three episodes of Bad Batch season 3 immediately after watching them, but I was too emotional about everything I saw that I needed some time to calm down a bit.

It's beyond my expectations, just perfect! From the plot, to the characters, through the beautiful graphics and wonderful music, everything was epic. This season will definitely be much more mature and dark than the others. I love Bad Batch with all my heart and words cannot describe how important these characters are to me. I don't think I will focus on each episode separately, but I will show my general feelings and thoughts.

Something that touched my heart deeply was how Omega becomes so much like Hunter. Her facial expressions, her eyes, tactical skills and that characteristic whistle! I immediately thought of Hunter. She became so mature, strong, decisive and calm in stressful situations. It's clear that she's no longer the same little child we met on Kamino in the first season. She has changed so much... Even Crosshair seems to see this, as he let her lead during his escape from Mount Tantiss. He was her support, did not question her ideas and did not hesitate to follow orders. I love watching their bond become stronger. Every day Omega came to his cell, talked about her day... and he listened... he had no choice because he couldn't just go, but I think they both needed each other's presence. They knew they were not alone and encouraged each other, in some way.

It is clear that Omega still misses the rest of her brothers and strongly believes that she will be able to return to them again, together with Crosshair. She can't imagine leaving him, it's out of the question. No matter how hard Crosshair tries to make her believe that he is not worth saving, she will still be on his side. I think Crosshair realized through her that his brothers never really wanted to leave him and were willing to take him back at any time if he just wanted...

Even though Omega has become more mature, she is still a child. Being locked in a cell, the routine and monotony of life must be very exhausting for her, because she is by nature a lively, active and curious sweet girl. She spent most of her life locked up and the only good memories she had were of freedom and her brothers, even though it wasn't for a long time. She even made herself a doll like Lula, who stayed on the Marauder with Hunter and Wrecker. This parallel symbolizes their connection, despite the enormous distance that separated them. And Batcher... Omega doesn't want to forget, she wants to remember her brothers, the love she had for them and received from them, all those good memories together... Ouch...

Somewhere in another part of the Galaxy, two brothers are desperately looking for their little sister. Their worn armor shows that they have fought hard during this time. Hunter also has different bandana... I've seen a theory that it's similar to the band Omega wore on his wrist in season two. This way, maybe Hunter wanted to always have her close to him, at least a part of her, I wonder if he can smell her scent... Oh Force, I'm gonna cry...

The sight of Hunter having difficulty working with Tech's Datapad, how desperate he is to do everything he can to find Omega, how exhausted he seems... Maybe it's just me, but he looks thinner and has paler skin than before. This breaks my heart. I'm sure he was thinking about Tech who could do the job in a second. The sight of his goggles resting alone, the empty space he once occupied... Marauder never looked so lonely... Let me tell you, I shed a tear.

I really liked how Wrecker was the voice of reason in his conversation with Hunter. It's beautiful how one look, a nod of the head, or a hand on the shoulder can bring Hunter down. They support each other and it is clear that after everything they have lost, they have become even closer. They need each other to keep from going crazy.

Even though they are the only two left, Wrecker still considers Hunter to be the leader and waits for his orders even though he knows he doesn't have to. He remains loyal. When he was talking to the little cadets on the Marauder, I was so happy when I heard his laughter. Honest, loud and heartwarming. I think he's needed this for a long time. He definitely misses the company of a child on board, he loves children so much...

I also love that little scene where Hunter is working and looks at Lula out of the corner of his eye, thinking about Omega. He can't live without her... I feel like if they were separated again, he wouldn't be able todeal with it and would just explode, showing all the anger and despair he was holding, possibly doing something stupid in the process... He loves his little Omega too much that he can't imagine life without her. He is ready to drop everything just to be able to hold her close to him, to keep her safe. I'm so scared for him.

On the one hand, I was surprised that Echo didn't stay with the boys to look for Omega, but I expected him to join Rex. They may also be searching, but I think their main goal is to free prisoners and gather as many allies as possible to create the Clone Rebellion.

I could talk for hours and still not express all my thoughts and emotions that these episodes made me feel. I can't wait for next Wednesday.
