^ I think we burned-out Ahsoka's Arc with that rebellion on Onderon - whose name is surprisingly similar to Alderaan, yes?
Anyway, I agree. This episode was a bit too jam-packed. The Deathwatch "saving the day" was all too staged and hurried. Maul using several syndicates to occupy one location was also dumb. Why not spend an entire episode setting up the terror of each individual syndicate taking over their individual territories and starting a "gang war" in the streets. The whole bad guys here today, good guys here tomorrow thing bothered me.
Can I just say that I'm a HUGE fan of the Darksaber? I'm kinda surprised we didn't see one in Grievous' lair, with his collection of other Jedi weapons of old. Now that Maul's got possession of it, I think his "look" will be complete.
