PLEASE DAVE I NEED A SCENE LIKE THIS!!!!!!

Rex: I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales.

Ahsoka: [turns around] What?

Rex: I wonder if people will ever say, 'Let's hear about Ahsoka and the clone wars, order 66, peridea, you name it .' And they'll say 'Yes, that's one of my favorite stories. Ahsoka was really courageous, wasn't she, Dad?' 'Yes, my child, the most famousest of Jedi. And that's saying a lot.'

Ahsoka: [continue walking] You've left out one of the chief characters -Captain Rex.. the Brave. I want to hear more about Rex. [stops and turns to Rex ]

Ahsoka: Ahsoka wouldn't have got far without Rex.

Rex: Now Commander, you shouldn't make fun; I was being serious.

Ahsoka: So was I.

[they continue to walk]

Rex: Hmm…”Captain Rex the Brave...”

What I really want out of Chaos Theory (amongst other things) is the return of Dave’s mixtapes.

Like it comes on while they’re travelling cause one of them put it on the roadtrip playlist and none of them even bat an eye when it starts playing because Dave’s mixtapes are just a part of the camp fam™️ culture at this point.

Or we find out that Dave is a quasi celebrity because he had a SoundCloud that the Nublar 6 all followed when they got back from the island. And for a while they were the only followers Dave had, but he still enthusiastically posted new music plenty and the Nublar 6 would get on Skype and have listening parties and would all comment stuff hyping Dave up on SoundCloud. Then at some point someone realized that all the Nublar 6 are following this one random guy on SoundCloud and Dave’s account blows up overnight with all these people trying to figure out what the deal is.

Or I need Brooklyn, alone after faking her death and missing the others, putting on one of Dave’s mixtapes to cheer her up and remind her of the others.

I just think Dave’s mixtape should make a comeback in chaos theory guys.

How we feeling yall???

Did anyone else notice that Dave joined the marines not the army at the end of season 2 so actually Klaus probably did save his life or was that just me

Loki would’ve definitely gotten a job at the jet ski shop just to get closer to Mobius.

Season 2 Episode 3

Can we just talk about how cute and sweet all the siblings' meetings are? I mean, not [Viktor] and Luther last episode, but Five and [Viktor], first of all, was sweet. He was gentle and softly explained (sort of) who he was and whatnot. And how he didn't tell him that HE was the cause of the apocalypse. (Which could be argued that he should've, and it leads to later problems, but that's okay. He was just looking out for [Viktor]). He looked so happy to see [Viktor], too. And then Klaus and Allison??? They were so happy to see each other! I mean, Allison jumped into the pool with her dress on to hug Klaus. And the playful banter 😭

And how Klaus IMMEDIATELY gets Raymond out??? Also, I think it is so funny how he goes, "I told you I had friends in high places."

Like, he emphasizes high because he used Ben, who's dead 😂😭

Speaking of reunions, Klaus and Dave 😭 That's all 😭

[thelove-ablepenguin]

I owe Dave Filoni an apology

Every time I've talked about things I don't like about his story writing, the zillo beast plot hole is one of my main talking points. 🤣

Do you guys think Klaus told Dave everything whilst they were in Vietnam? Hey sexy did you know that I'm from 2019 and was raised alongside a bunch of other kids to save the world someday, but we failed and fell apart. Btw I can speak to ghosts and once waxed my ass with chocolate pudding. If you care

[theladyfulcrum]

Come here children. Come here. Sit down. Take my hands. Listen.

Here’s what we are not going to do. We are not going to let them unravel us and leave us in a heap of bawling bodies. They want us to sob until our eyes fall out and we rupture our abdominal organs because they’re heartless and sadistic and part of STAR WARS—shhh, steady—but we are going to remain CALM. Call it denial, call it call it bargaining, call it what you will, but he’s not gone.

Deep breaths, all together now. Crying is cathartic and necessary for coping with the emotional abuse we endure at the hands of Filoni et al., but don’t cry from lost hope. I’m serious. Was it among the worst things we could have possibly been forced to watch? Has a good majority of the fandom been mulling where the hell we are supposed to find the will to go on after that? Of course. But they’ll be back. And Tech will be, too.

Hush, child. Listen to me.

There was a reason he fell into cloud-cover. He could have been falling into anything. Water can be lethal from that height, yes, but let’s all just remember what Hunter pulled in War-Mantle with falling OUT OF A SHIP and down a LITERAL MOUNTAIN and surviving that with JUST HIS KNIFE. HIS KNIFE, KIDS. Tech accepted what he was doing, and he was okay with dying if that was what this meant, but he’s Tech. Once he fell from view he did whatever he could to increase his odds of getting out of it alive. Trust.

Speaking of falling from view— we know the Clone Wars rules. No body, no confirmed death. Forget that— we know the STAR WARS rules. Even if someone gets SLICED IN HALF before your VERY EYES and FALLS AN INDETERMINABLE-BUT-DEFINITELY-NOT-SURVIVABLE DISTANCE, they STILL aren’t dead. Further still, if you had put the two scenes in front of me with no context, I would have said Echo’s death in an EXPLOSION of FIRE seemed more final and certain that Tech falling away from us. And no, I don’t care about the argument that it’s a kId’S ShOW so they wouldn’t show us the body. Go watch Colt’s death and get back to me. Or you know, pretty much any Clone Wars episode.

BUT THE GOGGLES, you wail. I know, dear heart, I know. I see the cracks in them every time I close my eyes. But Hemlock getting his hands on those isn’t confirmation of anything other than what we already know— no matter where he wound up, Tech is having a Very Bad Time™️. Whether he lost them on the extremely unpleasant way down or whether he’s being experimented on in critical condition is hardly a nicer thing to know, but we’ll take just about anything right now if it means we’ll see our boy again, won’t we?

Shhh, I’m not through. We also have that scene with Phee. If it had been a true goodbye, if Tech had shown an ounce of the development he had with Omega about differences in emotional processing and communication, you’d have seen my soul depart through the atmosphere. But no. That scene’s entire purpose was to be unresolved. Was it just to make us incurably sad in retrospect? Maybe. But my gut says no— there’s more he needs to say to her.

On that note, the same goes for Tech and Crosshair. I refuse to believe we’ll never see them together again. I don’t have anything stronger than my refusal, but my feelings on this are rock solid. There’s also the important issue of THE Bad Batch theme— you know how they’ve established a precedent of not using it unless the whole Batch is together? Collectively, we’re going to refuse to believe they’re going to break that now. And there’s too much love for that theme to never hear it again.

Finally, beloveds, we come to our old favorite: story analysis. You know I’m insufferable about this, but listen. If we look at screenwriting, if we look at story structure, if we look at BEATS, this is the old “DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL” for the Batch (and us obviously). It’s the ALL IS LOST. The EVERYTHING IS AWFUL AND THE HEROES ARE AT THEIR LOWEST LOW. It’s the classic “oh my god this second installment is EMOTIONAL TORTURE HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME” that we can point to in novels, shows, and film series again and again. It’s the ESB ending, it’s the Catching Fire ending, it’s the Rebels S2 AHSOKA IS D E A D AND ANAKIN KILLED HER ending. S3 will open as they enter Act III, where they use what they’ve learned to move upwards toward the finale of this particular story arc. Doesn’t that sound like something nice to cling to?

There now. If I’m wrong, I’ll give you all the choice of k!lling me first or tossing me alive out of a plane with no *hard swallow* parachute, jet pack, or functional grappling gun. But I truly believe you won’t have to.

In the year or two we have to wait, cry for his absence, cry for the Batch being more fractured and farther apart than they ever have been, cry for Hunter feeling like he’s failed everyone he loves, cry for all of it, but not because you’ve lost hope that all might not be lost.

Tech will be back.

[iggyfingers]

Will I ever forgive them (Legion, the Red Dwarf creators, whoever) for making Rimmer hard light and then putting him through the most overwhelming sensory experiences ever (having food chucked all over him and then hit on the head multiple times to try and knock him out)? No.

Will I savour that the first thing he does when he knows he can feel is grasp Lister's shoulder? Yes, oh my god, yes, let the boys hold each other PLEASE

[zarophod]

i hate when shows says something and then later on do the opposite and create plot holes.

unless it’s Red Dwarf. the show is inherently paradoxical it could have 42000 plot holes and i would defend them all.

The secret member

[short-wooloo]

Pedro Pascal isn't actually playing the character in person, Greef Karga's actor died, season 2's beautiful ending was made pointless, Gina carano got herself fired, the main villain was killed off, the darksaber plot amounted to nothing and it's increasingly obvious that fauvroni have no idea what to do with the show/plot/characters going forward

And they want to make a movie
