The Weekly Batch

Wednesday's Bad Batch wasn't so bad, it had some good points. It was written by Jennifer Corbett and Matt Michnovetz and directed by Saul Ruiz.

The action sequences were highlights. The story begins with Rex and his crew rescuing some imprisoned clones. It's a decent, exciting scene, though I find it a bit silly that the clones have their blasters on a stun setting all the time. The one time we see that setting in the movies, it's used against Leia, who's not wearing any armour, which might explain why we never see it again. It really feels like Disney tampering that it's used all the time now.

I also liked Crosshair's escape attempt. There was real tension as he manages to grab a blaster and stumble out into the corridors, drugged up.

Meanwhile, back on Pabu. the rest of the Batch are still cooling their heels. It was nice seeing Omega reunite with Echo but mostly the scene felt like setup for next week's finale.

The Bad Batch is available on Disney+.
