Episode 82: The Bad Batch: “Decommissioned” and “Battle Scars”

The Bad Batch is officially a show about parenting and we’re okay with that.

In “Decommissioned” and “Battle Scars” (The Bad Batch Season 1, Episodes 6–7) we get the good, the bad, and the unintentional, as far as parenting goes. Good: Hunter rescuing Omega from a lava-fired slag pit in a droid decommissioning factory. Bad: Wrecker’s inhibitor chip finally snapping him into an Order 66-fueled fugue state. Unintentional: RAFA MARTEZ showing up having become a much better influence on her lil sister, Trace…all thanks to Ahsoka being herself in Season 7 of The Clone Wars.

We also talk about bow and arrow safety, what Rex is up to, and the increasingly narrow line between droids and clones.

Join us next week to recap “Reunion” and “Bounty Lost”  (The Bad Batch Season 1, Episodes 8–9).
