Episode 87: The Bad Batch — “Kamino Lost” (Season 1, Episode 16)
It’s finale time! The final episode of Bad Batch Season 1 sees the Batch literally (or, well, at least figuratively) reborn in fire and blood, shot straight out of the test tubes that grew them back into the world for a second chance at life.
We talk about the finale, “Kamino Lost,” and also discuss Season 1’s themes: purpose, togetherness, liberty vs. order, fascism, and whether or not you understand that your life is what you make it. Yes, these are all themes in a kid’s show, and yes, they are all beautifully wrought. We crown Baes for the episode and overall Baes for Season 1. And we laugh a LOT.
Next week, join us for the first two episodes of the newly-dropped Bad Batch Season 2 (!!!)—”Spoils of War” and “Ruins of War” (Season 2, Episodes 1–2).
