Episode 13 Thoughts
Spoilers for TBB Season 2
I very nearly spoiled myself for this episode because the clocks in America changed and it meant that this episode came out earlier than expected. Managed to scramble off Tumblr quickly enough this morning that I missed anything major. 😅
But let's get into my thoughts!
I forgot that Phee existed. How did I forget Phee existed??? 😭
Cute ceramic tree.
Love Phee teaching Omega how to bargain. 😂
Hunter grabbing the guys wrist when he tries to steal the credits. 🤣
Hunter's senses have had a little more attention this season and I love that. A lot of it is just for small moments but they're nice little additions that actually give us a chance to see how he uses his mutation.
Fun fact, centipedes can actually be venomous! Not so much to kill a person, but they can be carnivorous and use venom to catch prey. So these centipede-y things that they set after people are actually not too dissimilar from what we find on Earth! (Just more dangerous).
BAR FIGHT!!!
Where's Tech at? 🤔
Okay, Phee pushing herself off the table like that was very cool. 😄
OMEGA DROPPED A BELL (-shaped thing?) ON A GUY??? Well done. 🥰
Tech's just playing a game by himself???
"It is the only time this game is a challenge" TECH 😭
Phee's right, Omega needs more friends her own age.
Tech pointing out that they didn't have any. 😭 Tech, honey, I can't say clones are the most socially adept group of people and there's a reason for that.
OH FUCK OFF CID
I'm definitely concerned that she's gonna dob them in to the Empire. 😬
Pabu's pretty!!!
Looks like we were right about it being a safe place for the Batch to camp out.
Wrecker has my heart this entire episode. 😭
"You've got some competition" WRECKER OMG 😭🤣
After everything that happened last week, I needed this episode. It's so wholesome. 🥰
"I have not heard her laugh like that in some time" IT'S STILL GONNA MAKE ME CRY THOUGH 😭
ALSO MOON-YOS?! THAT NAME IS SO CUTE! 🥰
Hunter's dad vibes are strong this episode.
Wrecker being appreciative of different cultures is so sweet
Wrecker being full and Tech making a note of it. 🤣 Ffs, I love them all so much.
They weren't kidding. This episode is so pretty! 🩷
I'm not one for unnecessary romance but I gotta say that the whole thing going on between Phee and Tech is so wholesome. 😊
Is there some island monster that we don't know about???
Oh great. It's a tsunami. 😨
Avalanche last episode, tsunami this episode. WHAT'S WITH ALL THE NATURAL DISASTERS??? 😭
I love moments where we get to see the Batch help people without the need to shoot a place up.
Wrecker carrying Mr Eenta! 🤣
OMEGA! LYANA! RUN! RUN VERY VERY QUICKLY!!!
I was very concerned that something was going to happen to Shep for a second. 😭
All the lights from earlier compared to all the dark rubble...
These poor people are all refugees. They've already lost their home and now their safe place has been destroyed too.
And to be taken out by an uncontrollable force as well. It brings up the question of whether or not there is a place anywhere that is truly safe.
But I love how Sheb says that they are resilient. These people can keep on fighting, even after they've been through so much.
(Reminds me of a very specific cyborg, who I am missing very much at the moment 😭).
But after the defeats we've seen this season, I love that we have an episode that is so strongly grounded in hope. That even in the face of tragedy, they can keep on fighting.
And hope is a key concept in Star Wars which is why this episode works so well thematically.
Aaaaahhhh!!! So I really liked this episode. After the absolute misery that was The Outpost, I really enjoyed having a much more wholesome episode. Even though the middle wasn't particularly action heavy, there was some nice exploration of themes in Star Wars. It was super sweet and I loved it. 🥰
No doubt that there's gonna be "it's filler" comments but it really isn't! It's a deeper look into the Batch and stuff that's happening in parts of the galaxy that people don't think about. I love it for that.
And while I'm really not a fan of unnecessary romances, this thing going on between Tech and Phee is adorable. Even if it doesn't go anywhere, she's still helping him open up a bit and appreciate things in life from a slightly less analytical perspective. It's cute and I can't be mad about it. 🥰 (Although I will start having an issue if it starts getting in the way of the story but I think we're good for now).
Saying all of that, it's been another week without Echo. 😭 That man would've been in top form this episode as well. We know how he is when it comes to helping people. AND WE COULD'VE HAD WHOLESOME MOMENTS OF THAT MAN ACTUALLY GETTING TO RELAX FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE! Hopefully they get to come back here and bring Echo along because he really needs a vacation.
But overall, solid episode! The animation was beautiful and the soundtrack was great as always. 🥰
