Wow that was actually a pretty great episode. 25 mins long as well which makes up for the previous episode tbh.
Some parts were predictable, my biggest complaint is that the plan relied on Tambor not informing anyone the algorithm was stolen.... a calculated risk I guess but kind of weird. I wish we saw Anaxes more to get a feel for the battle and situation in general, kind of like Umbara where we saw or heard of the fight step by step.
I did like the humor here, pretty good stuff from Windu as well surprisingly. I also liked how Dark Side Anakin got there at the end. The Bad Batch was also at its best in this episode and the ending was pretty touching. I would have liked to have seen more from them and Echo in the supposed Kashyyyk arc.

Pretty good probably the best out of the four. Makes sense for Echo to join the Batch kinda what I was expecting as he's probably not fit to go back to ARC status. That helmet he had was kinda weird though. Not sure why they'd have such a helmet specifically for Echo lying around lol
Also I wish we saw the ROTS clone pilots in this arc. Not sure why they dropped the ball on that I believe they were shown in the reels. Anakin's darkness was good always like when they show that. I just wish we were going to get more of that. It would be great to show his nightmares have already started in one of the remaining episodes but I highly doubt it

Weirdly I have had dreams about TCW the night before the episode airs..... Had one last week as well lol. They're not accurate though like in the first one a group of clones turned on Rex or something and then in last night's Anakin was killing younglings lmao... It looked pretty good tbh as my dream had the same animation as TCW... I know that's really weird lol

Very good conclusion to the arc. Echo's inclusion in the Bad Batch is pretty fitting. Seeing Mace and Obi take part in the action was nice, I was worried we'd only see Anakin doing that. Trench's death was the only part I really remembered going in, but even if I hadn't, it was fairly obvious the admiral had met his end.
Last week's episode still feels irrelevant other than getting Echo off Skako Minor, and it's also a little strange that Tambor didn't inform Trench he'd lost the algorithm. It would've been nice if we got more clarity on why this was the case, since the Republic victory on Anaxes hinged on this plot point.

I know that Echo briefly mentioned why Tambor wouldn't tell Trench about the loss, but it felt a bit flimsy for the Republic to trust this.

Good conclusion to the arc. I agree episode 3 feels a bit needless. It might have been better to give us some more battles, where we can see the tide turning and then in this episode finish it off, so it would be a bit of a split. Two episodes pre Echo rescue and two episodes post Echo rescue.
Cool touch with Anakin. And great line about not having such weaknesses or whatever it was.

Cool episode. Definitely one of the best in the arc. Don't know why, but I kinda like Echo's armour  It was pretty fun, high stakes stuff, though I feel like the whole uncertainty over Echo's loyalties was a bit undercooked. Still, I liked it and Anakin's latest Vader tease was probably one of the highlights. No idea why battle droids are programmed to get so scared though |

Pretty good episode. Fun arc all around. But also, come on. You get twelve episodes and spend three of them on this? Not bad but this isn’t compressed final season material.

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
