The season is now complete. I’m not sure if they plan another. The overall arc was good. They tied off the major themes and left leads for more stories. ---

Its funny to me that to some people it sounds like “she’s faking it” because the first time I heard it, it was unmistakeably Kiwi. Ang is also fairly well known here, a really solid hard working actor, so its great to see her have more success on the international stage. ---

Question for those who’ve seen the whole season: I gave up after the Young Hera episode. If I didn’t like the series up until then, should I give the rest of the season a chance, or is it more of the same? In particular, do they actually do anything with Omega beyond being an annoying kid sidekick/McGuffin? ---

> [@gdave](#): > > In particular, do they actually do anything with Omega beyond being an annoying kid sidekick/McGuffin? Yes, actually. They do. The last few episodes give her a lot to do, and she really comes into her own as a character. All in all, the first season was uneven, but it had a strong ending. ---

I found it very interesting that they mentioned Omega was present and remembers when the other “Bad Batch” clones were created, and is therefore _ **older** _ than them. I presume the other clones were subjected to artificial aging, but she was not. She may have a deeper background and life experience than we realize, with several more years of education and training than the others. In one sense, the “adult” clones may really be _ **her** _ kid sidekicks. ---

> [@Retzbu\_Tox](#): > > I presume the other clones were subjected to artificial aging, but she was not. This technically makes her more accurately a sister to Boba Fett, who had the same non-ageing treatment. Though this is set a few years after we first meet young Boba as a 10 year old in AOTC, and Omega seems like 10- or 12yrs old here, so there is still a considerable gap between their births, maybe as much as five years difference. Makes me wonder if an adult Omega might show up in a Disney+ live action series. ---

Yeah, I bet she shows up in Book of Boba Fett. ---

The first two episodes for Season Two are out. They’re very introductory, obviously building up this season’s plot line. Anyone else watch? ---

I watched the first two Season two episodes and liked them but kind of forgot a lot of last season. Eventually will have to rewatch from the beginning. ---

Third episode - which deals with Crosshairs - is very good. I had always wondered what happened to Commander Cody. ---

This is a show with kids as a prime demographic. More serious and dark, not quite Andor level, but definitely more complicated in its theme than I was expecting it to go. Not the Easter Egg laden mostly fairly cute of S 1. I liked but am eyebrow raised. ---

I caught up last night (so haven’t seen today’s episode). They have a nice groove going; it feels like Clone Wars. Each episode has a narrow focus on a situation and a few characters. ---

Interesting that episode 7 “The Clone Conspiracy” didn’t feature the Bad Batch (and other than Crosshair who I presume was the sniper) didn’t have any of them. brian ---

I have seen complaints online that the show is not following the core characters but I am happy because I always thought they were kind of boring but really like and want to see more of the Post Episode III/Rise of the Empire era so I really enjoyed this story. ---

They have taken asides from the main characters before …. Remember Hera Syndulla’s origin ep? It’s not like they are doing a Boba Fett. ---

The writers definitely want us to think Tech is dead, but they didn’t show us a body. Broken glasses isn’t proof of death. Also, this is a kids show. So I think there’s about a 99% chance Tech is alive and will be revealed at a key point next season (perhaps in the same facility Omega is in, and he and Crosshair will help her escape).
