Eck is off so Zack steps in to discuss the latest episode of the Bad Batch as the third season begins wrapping up, but will The Juggernaut stand among the best episodes of the series?

    Crosshair in season one was like the final boss in a video game. Crosshair in season 3 is the boss when you unlock him as a playable character
  • @TheWhiteDragon3
    One detail I really like from this episode is how competent the Imperial garrison at the labor camp was. The moment the commander understood that something was wrong, he immediately took action and commanded the response, and even the TK troopers that landed on the Juggernaut moved quickly to disable the main weapons on the tank and started trying to open it.
  • I loved how this episode showed us that Rampart is still a bastard eventhough he has spent s year in a labor camp. He wants to be in control, can't stand being commanded around by a nobody; He remembers Crosshairs code but doesn't even bother to call him by his name; He tries to spin his kidnapping into his favor; And as soon as he sees a gun, he tries to grab it to shoot people. The man is rotten through and through
  • I enjoyed this episode, but I really hope that the finale is an hour long. There's so much to tie up, especially considering this is the final season.
  • @cameronclowe29
    It was a FUN episode and the turbo tank action killed it
  • @cd5sircoupe
    Everyone's harping on the end of the episode where Omega gets the monologue from Hemlock... sure we as the audience already know all that, but she doesn't know jack shit yet. I think it was meant to really have us feel the weight of her decision last episode, from her point of view. She might not have put all the puzzle pieces together quite yet, but it's like an "oh shit, this is more serious than I thought" moment. 3:43 Looking back on this scene, damn Tarkin's cold. He basically played everyone else seated at that table. And he's already maneuvering to fuck Hemlock over as we saw recently.

    If anything I feel like Rampart will end up trying to redeem himself in the eyes of the empire.
  • @BCrane-ej4iq
    I love Hemlock’s excitement about science and progress. Even though we know he wants to ascend the ranks, you can see he’s fascinated; whatever makes him mad is quickly overtaken by news of advancement or getting back on track with his project. It’s a great character trait. Ruthless but utilitarian, as Thrawn is.

    I hope they have wolf and Gregor and other clones in this episode to infiltrate tantis and free the clones.
  • @cliffcorson4000
    I like how we get to really see the power of the Juggernaut assault vehicles in the episode
  • @mathewwright4129
    I think this episode is great. I wasn't expecting Rampart but they really needed to bring him back to tie off that loose thread. The scene that Hemlock casually walks Omega back into Mount Tantis was genius. It showed how in control he is of her now and i love how he just walks her straight into the belly of the beast, locking the doors behind them as she's introduced to her new permanent cell. Crossheir going up against his former boss really highlighted his progression through the show as well.

    Im becoming infertile from eating scented candles.

    I feel like Rampart will be the turncoat that causes whatever plan to go sideways; I think he is still loyal to the Empire, and would turn in dissidents to regain favor. I am hoping for a clearcut finale to the Bad Batch, and I think the confirmed death of any one of the main characters would be the cinching point. With Phee joining the team for the finale, you know it is all but confirmed that the clone assassin is a "rehabilitated" Tech, since the burgeoning relationship between them is that clearest plot thread to build on with her. Phee and Tech will have to make it out of the finale alive, Disney wouldn't allow a child character to bite it so Omega is safe, Wrecker is a lovable oaf that no one wants to see go but is also pretty accident-prone... 50/50 on if Wrecker will make it, Crosshair is a character on a redemption arc and those can be a death-sentence more often than not but if only one person dies it won't be Crosshair, Hunter is Omega's father figure and that is a guaranteed death-sentence in the Star Wars universe. Echo is with Rex, and while they will probably recruit Wolff to join their liberation effort, Echo is not part of Rex's old-man-clone-squad in Rebels so Echo's survivability is dubious, but his story has been pretty sparse lately and I see no reason to kill him off, if he gets his brain fried trying to hack some terminal on Tantiss then it will be really upsetting.
  • @DIAMCAT
    that tank fight was awesome, there arnt many scenes where you get to see them I action in starwars media.
  • @kineuhansen8629
    isnt thrawn only a cadet or something at this point in time dont think he would have a connection to tantis if he is only a cadet
  • @johnmckenzie7096
    I like the idea that anyone who goes to tantis get their memory of it wiped so that no one genuinely knows where it is
  • @KimberlyM-W
    When Crosshair ask Wrecker, “do you remember plan 55 ? “ There was a long sound of silence from Wrecker….That made me 😂 I ❤️ Crosshair and his communication skills! 😂
