So just looking at the trailer looks like there’s maybe 2-3 episodes worth of content we haven’t seen... all the space action scenes we haven’t seen. The V-Wings on Kamino, the Venator and Rex obviously. And all the scenes with Crosshair and the clones looking to be against the Batch we haven’t seen. Oh and Wrecker fighting those droid. Then there’s the AT-TE stuff.
I’m gonna guess next episode will be the stuff with the AT-TE maybe on Onderon, and then two episodes fighting the empire and with Rex and then we will be at mid season and likelt get another trailer

Honestly I really think this show is fine, great animation and the characters are improving. Obviously biggest difference with TCW is you have the main heavy weight characters pulling the show along, but George’s original idea for TCW was a show kinda like this with a rag tag group of new characters.
The universe building is on par with TCW easily, the animation is season 7 quality. Comparatively to the earlier seasons of TCW this is definitely better. There’s never gonna be another show quite like TCW cause when you really get down to what makes it good it’s the main characters... I guess they could do a show with the OT crew post ROTJ or between episodes 4 and 5 but then they would over write the comics in that era. And they are already using Thrawn in the Ahsoka show as he would be the best villain for a post ROTJ animation show anyways.
One thing I noticed is almost every episode starts in space but I guess when you have a show like this it’s kinda the most obvious choice, same with Rebels, it’s hard to do something else.

It's possible Rex is in the next episode. They just restocked his black series figure and I remember the Walmart exclusive ROTJ Luke was restocked a couple days before the Mando finale. They should really restock them after the episodes tbh because they are usually sold out by the time everyone wants one after having seen the episode lol

Decent episode, Corellia was well done to both Solo and EU standards. Trace and Raffa weren’t totally annoying like they were in TCW. I feel like the call at the end was most likely to Saw or Rex tbh and not an enemy of the Batch.
They will definitely find Rex soon and probably remove all of their chips since this thing with Wrecker is getting worse.

I think there’s probably 2 episodes worth of content left from the trailer. One with Rex and one with the AT-TE and stuff. Maybe 3 cause of the space sequences in the trailer

First episode I was disappointed by... Why would they bring the sisters back when they are so hated? Really put me off immediately. And I'm disappointed they're actually going through with the Wrecker chip thing and not just teasing the audience. It's so dumb for the chip to activate just from hitting your head a couple times... How many times would clones have hit their head in battle? No one else's chip ever activated from that. So ridiculous
But besides that it was also kind of a lame story like the entirety of the episode was a shootout in the factory which was sorta boring. I wish we saw more of Correlia. I was just imagining that a young Han was there somewhere lol. And R7 obviously means Ahsoka met with the sisters again. Hopefully that hologram isn't Rex because it'd be stupid as hell for Rafa to make a big deal about not trusting clones when she's talking to Rex...
Also those factory worker uniforms were the same ones from Rebels. I feel like we might see Lothal at some point

Surprised we saw the Martez sisters in this one, but thankfully they weren't too annoying. Based off that ending, it seems likely they'll reappear alongside whoever they're working for. Saw would be most obvious, unless they spin it on a darker route and include Maul or Boba.
The episode felt kind of short, but I think that's because almost all of it was an action sequence. Liked seeing Correlia, but wish it could've shown more. The beginning with Omega training was a good touch, I'm glad she isn't an amazing fighter from the start with her bow. Really demonstrates once again how well the show is doing in developing its main characters before going into more complex stories. Hopefully we get back to the Empire story soon, although that might not come until the halfway point of the season.

I'd say this was the worst episode so far. Can't believe they actually brought back those Martez sisters lol There just wasn't anything that interesting. It was just going through the motions, which is why I'm expecting more like it to bulk up that 16 episode run. Also, the hidden figure is more likely to be apart of the rebellion, so I'd say either Saw, Bail, or Ahsoka. I highly doubt they'll go for anything more unexpected. It just doesn't seem like the kind of show that throws those kinds of curve balls.

Also, they probably starting working on this before TCW season 7 aired, so its not like they knew these characters would get a lot of hate then. And the chip thing is definitely stupid. I feel like the way Bad Batch has handled the chips so far is just kind of ridiculous in general... |

If this was their first appearance, it would've been fine but knowing how shitty the characters are just ruined it for me lol. It's like if they brought Rey back for something and even she wasn't badly written, it'd be kinda annoying at least for me. I guess that's sorta what happened with that Lego Christmas special |

Anyone notice the LEGO Bad Batch Shuttle looks like it might be on Tatooine though? Could also be the planet Rex is on. But the August 1st release date is also near the finale of the season... they got the speeders in there with Imperial Crosshair.

If Rex is on Bracca, idk if there are canyons and stuff there but I guess we didn't see that much of it in the game and not at all in daylight |

If Rex is on Bracca, idk if there are canyons and stuff there but I guess we didn't see that much of it in the game and not at all in daylight I have a feeling that episode will likely be episode 9 or 10. I think we will get the space sequences and the AT-TE episode first. We need to see more Imperial stuff/ Crosshair though  |

Bracca was cool to see, some nice relations to Fallen Order there. I also liked seeing Rex, I didn’t feel like his inclusion was too forced and they set it up pretty well with the Sisters last week. So I’m guessing next episode will basically be a Part B of this one and we will see Crosshair and the clones fight them on Bracca.
Glad they finally got the chips out, Hoping they keep that Tech model for awhile, assuming Hunter hadn’t got his chip out yet so he should get a new one as well.

Bracca was nice though I wish we saw more of the Scrappers. I feel like there was a different shot of them in the trailer which we didn't see here. Guess it was cut. I was kinda hoping for more to happen tbh like this is quickly becoming Rebels level writing... It was also kind of weird to me that they couldn't find any other doctor in the galaxy to get the chips removed instead they had to go to a destroyed Venator on a junkyard planet to use its medical facility. How did they know the equipment there would still be functional? Literally the last place I'd go to to perform brain surgery...
I wonder if they'll stay on Bracca for next episode. Probably not. But maybe Crosshair will be sent after them. Hate to say it but the show's starting to lose steam for me I think we need the next episode to involve Crosshair/Kamino/the Empire.

This show is getting more mediocre each episode. Sure, having Rex in the show is nice... but the plot is so slow... I am not very excited to watch this.

Yeah, this thing is dragging its plot out to meet that episode count. And as cool as the scenery can be and the cameos like Rex are welcome, truth is this really getting tedious. Plus that whole scene with Wrecker going full Order 66 was so predictable.
I'm also just not finding much interest with the main cast. Omega's okay, sure, but the team is just so lacking in depth. Also, isn't any one of them curious as to why Kamino made a female clone at all?

I thought at least Rex would voice a bit of curiosity, but instead they keep artificially lengthening this mystery. It's getting kind of annoying at this point. |

To be fair it’s not like the clone army is the first and only creation of the Kaminoans, they had lots of cloning contracts before the army.

That's something that's always interested me and I wish we saw more of their other clone projects. I wonder if they ever did like one off orders I mean their facility looks built to specifically do mass produced bulk orders. Which makes you wonder if anyone besides the Republic had done large orders from them |

 Looks like there will be a new clone showing up at some point, Captain Baja Blast lol Wonder if he's Imperial or not seems like painted armor has been done away with except for the Coruscant guard |

Also upcoming episode titles came out:
1.10 Common Ground
1.11 Devil's Deal
1.12 Rescue on Ryloth
1.13 Infested
1.14 War Mantle
Good chance the Ryloth episode features Hera and Chopper. Not sure if I want that tbh... Wonder if Ahsoka won't be showing up this season. I think I'd prefer if she didn't. I think we're also supposed to see Bo-Katan at some point since Katee Sackhoff was said to be joining the cast
I just want to see Rampart get a decent part in some of these episodes though he'll probably end up being underused just like Moff Gideon

https://www.reddit.com/r/thebadbatch/comments/nxg6vd/star_wars_the_bad_batch_episodes_8_to_16_all/
All remaining scenes from current trailers. Crosshair on Bracca is definitely the next episode, then I think episode 9 will be the AT-TE stuff. Reddit seems to think the city planet is Raxus, and remembering back to when we saw it in TCW I think that makes sense.
The Fennec scenes don’t really fit in with the rest, might be unused stuff from the earlier episode

We've had tons of clone captains and commanders like this. |

Yoo the episode was already pretty good but Bane made it even better. Loved that they amped up the western-ness of his character, though I will say they could've made his outfit a little cooler... Also did Crosshair's face get melted off lol. Wonder how he looks now in normal lighting it wasn't really clear here. But yeah I'm glad something is finally happening. I mean it was pretty predictable but still
I feel like the Batch won't know to look for Omega on Kamino even though it's kinda obvious the bounty hunters came from them... Might get some filler episodes of them finding where she was taken like how Mando needed to find Gideon's cruiser
