Go speed racer, go speed racer go!

Only the penitent man will get all the references this week.

Epsidoe 5 - Weirdly empty. They do some Indiana Jones stuff. Suddenly they're in a Divine Beast from Breath of The Wild. It blows up, they go home. No character moments, nothing gained. Just stuff.

 

[The Tomtrek]

I think it was closer to a Tallneck from Horizon Zero Dawn but yeah, weirdly empty episode. Like someone said "What if we did something like Indiana Jones" and then they had no further ideas beyond that.

It was an empty episode for sure. It was really just a bad filler episode.

Wookiees are cool, Gungi is cute. I like big monsters that characters ride on. It felt pretty rushed though? Like the batch barely got to know Gungi. If this was Clone Wars it would have been a multi-episode arc.

I liked that the village was based on the Matt painting from the holiday special.

 

[Dr Dave]

Better then the last episode, but nothing spectacular.

 

[Dr Dave]

Two episodes this week. I liked the episodes.

This season seems all over the place though.

 

[whisky]

I wasn't expecting an episode of the bad batch without the bad batch.

 

[The Tomtrek]

I like it when "The Bad Batch" is good, like these two episodes were (they were very good).

 

[CaptainWacky]

Senator Chuchi is the blue hero we deserve.

 

[Kyehlar]

Two episodes? Have to keep that in mind when I watch tonight.

 

[Dr Dave]

Oh good character development!

Good episode!

 

[whisky]

Seemed like slow boring filler to me, but each to their own.

 

[CaptainWacky]

The part where Tech talked about being an Aspie was good, the rest wasn't much.

 

[whisky]

Not sure I liked them going into someone elses mine and pinching their valuable yellow stuff, that makes them no better than the guy who stole their ship.

They were doing a job for Cid, who is well established now as a dodgy character (and will probably betray them for money soon.)
