#so you get a lot of the Hunter-Omega-Crosshair-Hemlock stuff

[heyclickadee]

I think Crosshair’s arc is really, /really/ close to being resolved. It’s right there on the cusp of resolution, it’s not not completely there yet. He’s part of the family again, he knows he can rely on them, they know they can rely on him, he’s not beholden to his Kaminoan-built purpose as a soldier anymore—but I think there still needs to be one last step from him before his arc is really resolved. His trauma is all still there, and we never get any indication from him that he’s forgiven himself or that he no longer thinks he deserves to die, since the last thing we heard him say about himself is that he thinks he does. He doesn’t even get any lines after Tantiss. (And—honestly? I know I’m going to sound like a broken record here, but I actually think you need Tech around for this last bit of Crosshair’s arc to resolve itself, and that the reason it hasn’t resolved is because Tech’s not back.) We have no idea what kind of life he even wants to live now or how. So while I do think Crosshair’s arc is the one other thing that’s close to being resolved, I also think there’s still a little work to do there.

Sssooooooooo…

I turned “Aftermath” and “Cut and Run” on in the background during work yesterday, just to see how watching The Bad Batch would go—I didn’t actually watch it (because I did have to work) but I was listening, and:

1. I had a great time. Despite all my bitching about the finale, this is still may favorite show, it has an amazing 46 episode run, and I’m willing to change my mind on some aspects of the 47th episode if we get more context in the future. It’s because I think this is an otherwise phenomenal, remarkably well-written show that I am so disappointed with the last episode.

2. Slightly crazy, extremely hypothetical theory that I’ll have no way to prove or even defend for months to years, but if “The Cavalry Has Arrived” is really the end of this story, full stop, or was ever intended to be then there’s something that’s very structurally weird about the first two episodes. Basically—

I think this show has two pilots.

The first is “Aftermath,” which serves as the larger overall pilot, for this show or something more but, either way, for something that hasn’t resolved yet or hasn’t been given the chance to resolve.

The second is “Cut and Run,” which, right now, serves as the pilot for the only part of this story that has resolved—basically, Hunter finding a small, safe, out of the way planet where he can stop being a soldier and give Omega the chance to be a kid and have a normal life without the threat of Omega’s Kaminoan-built purpose looming over them. Everything else is completely wide open.

So I’m wondering if what we’re looking at is the end of the show (because it is the end of the show, I am not going down the Sherlock “ACTUALLY there’s a secret episode that’s the real finale” road, as much as I currently sympathize with the sentiment), but not the end of this story overall. Just the end of a chapter.

(DON’T put any stock in this, I’m just having fun theorizing. Overthinking is how I deal.)

God how did I not post this before.... I've got some soft stuff just for you

"We're home."

Tech felt his breath catching at the sight of Pabu. After so long, after so much hurt‐ the planet had never looked so pretty.

Still, staring at the surface, as their impending arrival grew closer and closer, Tech's bandaged hands squeezed around the yoke reflexively. He felt a trickle of nervousness sweep down his artificial spine.

Omega and Wrecker, looking battered, stared and leaned over the console with such enthusiasm, it was easy to forget what they had gone through to get here. What they had needed to fight for to make it back.

Hunter seemed to sense his anxiety, because he squeezed Tech's uninjured shoulder.

"S'okay, little one," He murmured, the term of endearment more frequently used now that he finally had his youngest brother home to hold. "We're right here."

Echo shooed their overly enthusiastic siblings away from the console, telling them to prep for landing– and make sure Crosshair wouldn't hide in the ship.

As Tech hesitated, he was given a sympathetic glance. "You also can't hide," He said softly. "But you won't need to– they're happy to have you back."

Tech wasn't sure how happy they would be once they saw him. What he had become, what he had done. His armour still clung too painfully tight to his skin, the helmet still felt attached to his aching jaw.

After so long of having it lock and stinging as it was held shut, open– and dare he try remember when he was still close enough to his brothers– caressed, Tech locking it himself was soothing in comparison.

The lengths he had needed to go to seemed so... pointless, if he couldn't even bring himself to enjoy the end result. He had his family back, his life, his home– why wasn't he happy? Why wasn't he thrusting the ship forward, hurtling down to where he knew everyone wanted to go?

He wanted to go home, too. Desperately.

He just- seemed to forget where it was. Had the coordinates wrong- everything felt wrong. His hands, his legs, his face his mind his eyes his skin oh stars his skin felt so hot and itchy and wrong—

He was jolted from him twisted mind when the landing gear engaged and they settled a bit shakily on Pabu's surface. Tech blinked, mind hazy and reality warped as he felt the soothing, warm rays of the sun on his skin.

When was the last time he had felt that?

Hunter squeezed him, turned him around in his chair. "I know this is a lot," He said, kneeling and putting his hand on Tech's arm, rubbing at the flesh there, hidden under armour. "But you're safe now. Here, with us, and.. and we'll heal. You'll be okay, Tech, I promise."

Nodding jerkily, Tech tried to pretend that he believed his brother. That he would walk out there, brave as always, and Hemlock's touch would be nothing more than a memory- rather than the oppressive, vivid phantom he felt, creeping up his spine, fingers gliding over him like a warning—

"Vodiʻka," Echo spoke now. "It's time to go."

Was it? Tech looked around again, out the port view. Omega, Wrecker and Hunter were already greeting Shep, Crosshair close by.

They looked happy. He didn't– couldn't find it in him to ruin that when he had caused so much of their suffering.

A hand smoothed through his hair. "I know," Echo whispered. "It's not easy, coming back. But you'll manage, you always do. And- I'm here, when you're ready to talk about it."

Talk about it.

Talk about Tantiss, about Hemlock. About... about what had happened to him.

Tech bit back a shiver at the thought. He couldn't imagine ever telling them what had really happened. They might not let him back in if he did.

"Let's go." Echo was pulling him, and before Tech could lose himself in the familiar haze- the comfort of do not move until he's done with you, just stay still until it's over, comply– Tech stood on the ramp, watching Pabu again.

He did not look through CX-2's lenses. Only his own.

He took a small breath, and paused. Fresh air. Tech subtlety gulped in another, greedy breath of Pabu's air. It felt so good- he had forgotten what it felt like.

He watched for a long time, wondering if any of this was his place anymore. Considering that he may be safer on the ship. At least there he could see through the rays. Maybe this was a mistake, maybe he should stay on the ship.

Maybe he should go back to Heml—

"Brown Eyes?"

Tech stilled, his whole brain shutting down again. It did that often, these days. Regressing and curling back into old routines he had used as a cadet to stay safe.

He looked up, eyes wide as he caught her eye across the courtyard.

"Phee."

She looked as beautiful as she had the night he left. She watched him, and his brother's shared a look, letting her past as she took an unsteady step towards him.

He wasn't... sure why he moved the way he had. It was similar to how he moved when he had first seen his brother's. Simply, he was overwhelmed and needed to know they were real.

So, Tech allowed his feet to carry him down the ramp, less than graciously, and he stumbled into a run as he barrelled towards Phee.

His first real connection outside their squad. Their conversations were just for them, their relationship was private- he hadn't needed to share, for once, and he loved it.

He loved her- who so kindly and fiercely lived and breathed to explore and protect what she valued. He felt warm just thinking he was on that list—

Was he- still on that list? His brain caught up to his body as he dared slow down in panic, because what if this was all just him and she would push him back, reject him like others had before? What if he truly was impossible to—

Phee crashed into him without warning, and Tech let out a choked sound as they toppled. The panicked cries of the others, the sting of his injuries against concrete was forgotten as he was enveloped, encased in Phee.

Her arms squeezed him so perfectly, just the right amount of pressure, to break his resolve and train of thought.

He hadn't even realised his arms were around her, that he was babbling, tears coming from somewhere he as heaved and sobbed into her shoulder.

He felt her tears stain him, too, as she wept and laughed into his shoulder. "I missed you," She ended up whining, smiling so wide her cheeks hurt. "You karking asshole- that's not what I meant when I said—"

Tech brightened, tears still falling with no sign of stopping. "I didn't run away with a pirate!" He interrupted, unsure of why he was so very proud of that little detail. "Just as you told me to."

Phee, still on top of him, such a comforting weight he found pulling closer to have for longer, laughed so brightly he believed his siblings earlier joy was enough to forget. He certainly could, if she kept laughing like that.

"Good job," She smiled down at him, and as she looked at him so lovingly, he finally felt as brave as he used to, and quickly leaned up, pressing an inexperienced kiss to her cheek before hugging her again.

"I– I missed you, as well," He admitted into her frozen shoulder. "More than I can say."

He felt her push him back. He paused, and in a moment of confusion, he felt his heart freeze and splinter. Of course it wouldn't be that simple- he had ruined her home, destroyed Pabu- why would he think he had any right to- to want comfort from someone he stole from?

He let out another, shakier sob, apology on the tip of his tongue as his jaw went slack, mouth open—

Only for her to catch his lips, kissing the apology away with a swipe of her tongue. "Better have," She whispered into his mouth. "Been waiting for you to do that, Brown Eyes, what took so long?"

His whole being flushed. "Ah-.." He said, floundering. Phee laughed again, sweet, and she helped them to their feet.

They stared at each other, her thumb caressing his cheek, and he leaned into the contact, the surge of adrenaline from.... everything seeping from him at her touch.

He slumped into her, completely spent. His knees knocked as his legs collapsed under him. He wished he had been given more warning as Phee let out a shout, holding him up suddenly.

He couldn't think to care- not when his brain melted under the sun and his body finally seemed to want to relax- to rest.

Stars, he needed to rest. He felt so tired..

"Tech–?!" Hunter's voice called, sharp with panic.

"M'okay," He mumbled over the gradual uptake of fear. His siblings settled, closing in around him. He felt safe, with them all there.

"Just..." He trailed off, a warm, wide smile gracing him. Maybe it was the safety he felt to feel, maybe it was the lack of sleep. His voice dropped to a whisper as he met his family's eyes over Phee's steady shoulder.

"Just... happy I'm home."

tech lives shut up. he said so himself from my attic.

Crosshair, Omega, and the Hidden Horrors of Tantiss

Crosshair and Omega going home might've saved them from experiencing more of Tantiss' horrors, but "Infiltration" and "Extraction" remind us that these two still have so much unspoken trauma. They've told us only the surface level of what happened to them and I think we'll finally start getting answers in the coming weeks. I also have a new theory regarding Crosshair's hand.

Major spoilers below

A lot of people commented on how Omega feels like she's hiding something. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes and she feels distant. Our sweet sunshine child is no longer in the bright sun. She kept putting up a brave face because Crosshair needed it. He needed someone to help him push through the darkness. But underneath, Omega is suffering. We see her routine and the monotony of it in "Confined." Months and months of that leave marks that we can't see. She isn't being physically hurt, but the separation from her brothers, the routine, Crosshair's broken spirit, and Hemlock breathing down her neck have all gotten to her. She is tired and is doing the best she can with the hope she has. Her hope, Crosshair, and Batcher were the only things keeping her from falling into despair. But that can only last for so long and thankfully, she made it. But that doesn't mean it didn't impact her.

During "Infiltration," the way Omega spoke to Rex dug deep. There's something she's not telling us. She looked sad, scared, and broken. The look on her face when she mentions herself as part of Hemlock's experiments hurts. I bet they did more to her than we realized. I bet there's much more going on with her in general. She also carries a lot of survivor's guilt due to her escaping when so many didn't. Worse, she left them behind. That doesn't sit right with Omega because she knows what the Empire is doing to the Clones. They're not just there getting blood drawn, something far sinister is happening.

I think in the next few weeks, we will start hearing Omega open up more to her brothers. Michelle Ang said in an interview I think that Omega worries her presence will endanger her brothers. She needs to talk to them. I know personally what happens if you keep stuff in. You don't want to let that stuff fester and I think if we want to see our girl truly happy again, she needs to confide in her family. Crosshair, Hunter, Echo, and Wrecker won't let anything happen to her. They love her so much.

We're also finally starting to get answers as to what happened to Crosshair. But like Omega, he's not fully open either. Crosshair explains to Rex and the others that Hemlock tried to turn him into a clone assassin, a process which involves erasing their identities and going through intense conditioning. Hemlock himself states that Crosshair resisted this "reeducation." But that's all we get about it. Like Omega, Crosshair isn't telling us the full story. We don't know what reconditioning implies or how Hemlock erases identities of the clones. They even come with a tracker that can't be found with normal technology.

I definitely think that Crosshair will also begin to open up more in the next few episodes. He's tied to the Clone X story now so I know we will be getting answers soon. I also think Crosshair's bad hand is tied to the Clone X program. What if his hand started shaking as way to get him out? If he can't function, then Hemlock wouldn't have use for him. Crosshair also knows that they wipe identities. What if Crosshair did have his identity wiped and his hand is shaking as a result of that? He fought Hemlock's programming. But at what cost? His mental scars are there, but there's more than he's letting on. Crosshair is not ok; he may have come to terms with Mayday and his brothers, but his trauma from Tantiss is still there.

In "The Return," he says "I was a prisoner, not much else to tell." Except that's not the case; he was avoiding talking about his trauma with the program. Seeing the clone assassin frightened him and whatever is to come in the next few weeks will be emotional for sure.

Edit: to add to this, Crosshair says that being defective is part of his nature. Now, he could just be making a remark, but what if there’s more? What if Crosshair’s mutations helped him resist the reconditioning?

Thoughts & Feelings after the TBB Finale

Loved the show, but there are a couple of things I wish had been different/added. We still got damn good finale; pretty tense at times, action was great, Hemlock died (and Hunter and Crosshair got to do it together. Remember; sharing is caring), the way Rampart and Nala Se met their end, we even had a pretty happy ending for once, lots of good stuff.

However, I am disappointed Rex and his rebellion didn’t really play a part, despite being the reason Echo was gone for so much of the show and the screen time they got in season 2. They were also looking for Tantiss, determined to free their brother, so I’d been hoping Echo would manage to get a message out. Just imagine Rex with his boys showing up clutch, keeping troops occupied, evacuating the prisoners, giving the Batch the opening they need to get to Hemlock or something.

While I like how the show stayed focused on the Bad Batch, and didn’t drag in too many characters from other stories, this could have made Echo’s absence/working with Rex feel more vital. Maybe the Rex-storyline was dropped and they’re saving some of these plotlines for another Rex-centred show; those might also show when Wolffe switched sides or what happened to Cody, after he went AWOL.

Now, am I sad Tech is really dead? Yes and no.

While I am sick of every other character in Star Wars returning from the dead, part of me had hoped he’d survived somehow. As mentioned in previous posts, it felt like he died in the middle of his character arch (which his death certainly didn’t complete); Romar in the first episodes of season 2 gave him inside into the value of culture, and how people weren’t defined by what side they were on during the war. Phee added to this with her own love of history and culture...and then it didn’t go anywhere. They also teased the possibility of a romance with her, but it was ended with an awkward goodbye and we didn’t see her react to his death. She mentions him, but its business as usual for everyone at that point. Tech could have been on vacation the way everyone acted most of the time in season 3.

Seriously, the main reason I’m unsatisfied with his death is the lack of reaction and consequences in this season. Even in the episode he died in, it was kinda overshadowed by Omega’s abduction 5 minutes later. Not to mention that it ended with Emeri revealing she was her sister; you lost a science-inclined sibling with glasses? Well, don’t worry, here’s another. Bit overdramatic on my part, I know, but I really didn’t like that reveal, not at the time. Should have been in season 3.  Though honestly? Emeri didn’t need to be related to any of them; just have her be a not morally bankrupt person and the story wouldn’t have changed. She didn’t need to be related to the other kids to care about them, so what really was the point of her being another clone?

Going back to Tech, it’s a shame we didn’t see Crosshair or Phee react. Like, did Crosshair blame himself for what happened? I’m sure he did on some level, but we have not really seen it. Even in episode 5, when he argues with Hunter, Crosshair says he risked everything to send the message, but Hunter ignored him and allowed Omega to get abducted...but nothing about Tech’s death. They all just silently look down a few episodes later, when Tech is mentioned, and in the final episode Crosshair points out the team died with Tech. It’s something, but I wish there had been more. Maybe show different ways they deal with loss and how to support each other. Maybe Phee and/or Shep show them what funeral rites on Pabu are like, as a way to say goodbye to the departed. Compare how clones and civilians handle death, something like that. We had a little mourning in season 2, but again, was abruptly ended/undercut by Omega’s abduction.

Concerning consequences; the team operated pretty normally, once Crosshair was back with them. I think it would have added weight, if there had been more things they weren’t able to do at all without Tech. Really make his loss be felt/shown in the way they approach their missions, but there was only like one instance, when they were trying to find out about M-count and otherwise they operated pretty much as usual.

Now, even if Tech had survived there still should have been consequences. I have made posts like a year ago, talking about the possibility of him being permanently disabled (e.g. paralysed below hip/unable to walk), but still able to help the team, as his mind has always been his greatest asset. Still, I’m okay with him staying dead, so I’m not going expand on this further here.

Moving on, we never learned why Omega was created the way she was. We know why she was useful for Hemlock, but why did Nala Se made her to begin with? Did she have similar goals/did the Kaminioan have a similar project at some point? Was Emeri like a failed test-version of Omega? Just things I wish they had answered, rather than spending two episodes on finding out what M-count means, something the audience already knows.

Which brings me to my next point: why Ventress was in the show? The Batch found out what the M-count was, which honestly is a piece of information Shand could have given them at the end of her episode. Testing if Omega was force sensitive or the taming of that sea creature, didn’t set up anything in the finale as some suspected, so despite enjoying Ventress’ episode, I wish they’d used the time on other plot points. 

We also never did find out what exactly Project Necromancer tried to accomplish (though we got a good idea), or how close Hemlock was to achieving his breakthrough. Could have added tension, if we’d known how far along he truly was, added catharsis to see him fail so close to his goal.

Overall I’m not quite happy Omega got brought to Tantiss and escaped twice with minimal help (really undermining the place as a whole). Why did infiltrating Tarkin’s “summer home” feel more dangerous/consequential than the secret mountain-base they built up so much? I love we finally got a happy ending, but one named character on the good guys’ side should have died, not just nameless prisoners we only just met. This is where the clone rebellion could have come in, some sacrificing themselves, helping the Batch, or maybe have Phee (who felt underutilised) get shot down, after getting them to Tantiss.

If you’ve seen previous posts, you know I’m pretty mad about what they’ve done with Scorch overall. What happened in the final episode can be summed up like this:

He’s unrecognizable from the games and books, to the point I wonder why they even bothered to include him. He didn’t even really do anything. Was it just because he was recognizable? And where is the rest of Delta? We never got closure concerning Sev and now this, a waste of a pretty fun character.

Speaking of clones working for Hemlock.

While I don’t mind the CX-clones being no one special, they had no personality, and except for CX-2 perhaps, no rivalries with the Batch either. They didn’t even get voice lines, so they looked cool for 5 minutes of screen time and died, but were pretty forgettable overall. They are this far down on my list, ‘cause I legit forgot about them. If only they’d been introduced sooner.

Anyway, those are some of my thoughts. I still like the show and would recommend it to any Star Wars fan, but there were a few things I just needed to get off my chest.

Bad batch season 3 reaction

Double length finale good good

Wrecker I love you so fucking much

How are they gonna get this baby out that's literally all I care about

Oh shit droid take over let's go

Oh they're getting a sling for the baby good

And for the teddy omgggg

Zillo beast zillo beast ZILLO BEAST

Hemlock keeps rubbing his hands hmmm

Echo is so proud of omega!!

Oh Wrecker is weak Crosshair has the tremors what a mess

Oh there is major foreshadowing happening, isn't there

Omega truly is a clone she loves kids hahah

This is some winter solider shit!!

Did crosshair just get Skywalkered????

Crosshair got Skywalkered holy shit its been too long since that happened to someone

God Echo you're such a good boy

Nala Se also having a redemption and Rampart being a fucking menace

So Hemlock is dead just like that and they all just escape hmm

PROJECT STARDUST YOU SAY

Ooh Emerie and Chuchi huh? I'll ship it

Hunter wants to lowkey steal these children lmao

Also no Phee?? Rude

ADULT OMEGA HELLO???

Omg she's going to JOIN THE REBELLION

'You've all fought enough' except Rex, Gregor and Wolffe lol

She's taller than Hunter omg shut up

I'll be real. They've left a bunch of stuff unanswered and had a lot of foreshadowing that didn't pay off

And I'm gonna say it--I'm glad Tech didn't come back. That would have cheapened his sacrifce

Though I must admit the special force clones went nowhere

This show does smack of 'this is set in the prequel era so we're bound by what we can do regarding the timeline' and I think the clones trying to navigate life after the war is much more intesting than the project necromancer stuff, which we already know Palps succeeds at much later on

Overall I find this show very fun but you can't look too closely at the story lol, it's the characters that shine

Predictions of how the rest of Season 2 of TBB is going to go

Hello everyone, I have seen the newest episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch and I think I am seeing my Mark Omega Clone Project theory come true. If you haven’t seen that theory, I suggest you read that post before reading this one. 

According to Wookiepedia we have five episodes left of Season 2. Anything can happen in those episodes. Thankfully the website was kind enough to give me the names of those episodes so that I can make some predictions easily. Keep in mind, some of those predictions may or may not happen and if you like to make your own predictions of each episode, feel free to do so in the replies.

Without further ado, here are my predictions to the last five episodes of Season Two of the Bad Batch. The Outpost (Episode 12): This could mean a lot of things. It could be an underwater outpost, desert outpost, jungle outpost, Imperial Space Outpost, etc. Basically Clone Force 99 enters the outpost, discovers some hidden secrets, kills a bunch of bad guys, your average Bad Batch episode stuff.

Pabu (Episode 13): I have no idea what this could be. It’s either a planet, or some person named Pabu, or someone’s pet. I’m not going into much detail. If y’all might know what Pabu could be, please feel free to tell me in the replies.

Tipping Point (Episode 14): This episode is when I think will start showing my Mark Omega Clone Project theory. I believe that Lama Su will help an Imperial Squad find Omega, capture her, and send her to Mount Tantiss where they will make the Omega Clones. This episode might also show a scene of Cid telling the Bad Batch why she acts the way she does since they don’t trust her anymore. Or this episode could be about the experiments with the Zillo Beast becoming so successful that Clone Commandos and advanced TK Troopers will start to wear the armor from the Beast’s shell and use the armor for combat.

The Summit (Episode 15): Okay for context of what a summit is, allow me to explain. A summit is known to be the highest point of the mountain. Like DK Summit in the Mario Kart video game series. My prediction for this episode is that after Omega gets captured by the Empire, Clone Force 99 will get into Mount Tantiss to rescue Omega. But there is a problem, that mountain is filled with Clone Commandos, Imperial Scientists, and some Astromech droids. To my knowledge there are zero TK Troopers. Now it is likely that there could be Imperial Security droids, not like the ones on Corellia, like the ones on Scarif. If that prediction comes true, then the difficult of rescuing Omega won’t be as hard as it seems. Unless the security droids are as powerful as the Clone Commandos, then they are screwed. Which leads me to the S2 finale of this amazing TV series.

Plan 99 (Episode 16): I have a prediction that Crosshair will find Clone Force 99, makes amends to his brothers by saving Omega, and kill Lama Su, Dr. Hemlock, that scientist woman, and a few other members of the cloning project. This could be one of the scariest episodes created ever in TV show history. Imagine all the fight scenes with all of Clone Force 99 together. Crosshair, Omega, Hunter, Wrecker, and Tech against everyone on Mount Tantiss. This could show the best ending of The Bad Batch or the worst. In my opinion I have high hopes for this season and I think they better make a Season 3 of the Bad Batch. If they don’t then I’ll get upset. Plz Dave Filoni, make Season 3 of Bad Batch possible. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this post. Let me know of your own predictions in the replies and I hope I get to hear from y’all very soon.

TECH'S GOGGLES ON THE DASHBOARD I'M NEVER GOING TO RECOVER FROM THIS EVER

[beardedcomputergardener]

Hemlock: standing with their back turned: I’ve been expecting you, Omega.

Omega: How did you do that without turning around?

Hemlock: ... To be perfectly honest, the first couple of people I did that to were not you.

Hemlock: Ok, maybe playing ‘whose family is most dysfunctional’ wasn’t the best idea we’ve had. Omega's been crying in the bathroom for an hour. We can’t get them out…

Crosshair: *Gets down on one knee*

Hemlock: Oh my gosh, it’s finally happening.

Crosshair: *Falls over*

Hemlock: The poison is kicking in!

*Omega and Nala-se sitting in jail together*

Nala-se: So who should we call?

Omega: I’d call Crosshair, but I feel safer in jail

Omega: If I die, my funeral is going to be the biggest party ever and you’re all invited

Nala-se: If?

Crosshair: Great, the only party I’ve ever been invited to and they might not even die.

Hemlock: *negotiating with Hunter* We have Omega. Give us ten thousand dollars and they will be returned to you unharmed

Omega: Whoa, whoa, wait, you think I’m only worth ten thousand dollars?

Hemlock:

Omega: MAKE IT ONE MILLION–

Hunter: OMEGA STOP!

Omega: Tonight, one of you will betray us.

Nala-se: Is it me, Omega?

Omega: No, it’s not you.

Crosshair: Is it me, Omega?

Omega: It’s not you either.

Hemlock: Is it me, Omega?

Omega:

Omega, mockingly: Is IT mE Omega?

Omega: Yo, is Hemlock sleeping or dead?

Nala-se: Hopefully dead, I hated their guts.

Crosshair: Yeah, so did I.

Hemlock: Okay first of all-

Omega: I think we're missing something.

Nala-se: Teamwork?

Crosshair: Cohesion?

Hemlock: Morals?

*Omega's helping Nala-se out after they get injured, while the others are watching*

Crosshair: How does Nala-se look?

Hemlock: A little better than you, actually.

Omega: My life isn’t as glamorous as my wanted poster makes it look like.

Omega: Dear friends, your Christmas gift this year… is me. That’s right, another year of friendship. Your membership has been renewed.

Tech: You’ll have a hard time believing this because it never happens, but I made a mistake.

Omega: You wanna see how hardcore I am?

Omega: *punches wall*

Omega:

Omega: Take me to the hospital.

Hunter: So apparently the 'bad vibes' I’ve been feeling are actually severe psychological distress

Omega: I’m going to defeat you with the power of friendship! ... And this knife I found.

Echo: Goodnight moon.

Echo: Goodnight tree.

Echo: Goodnight ghosts that only I can see.

Saw-Gerrera: Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

Echo: People are always asking me if I'm a morning person or a night person.

Echo: And I'm just like, 'Buddy! I'm barely even a PERSON!'

Echo: Not trying to brag or anything, but I can wake up without an alarm clock now simply due to my crippling and overwhelming anxiety, so…

Tech: You can de-escalate any situation by simply saying, 'Are we about to kiss?'

Lizzie: Doesn't work for getting out of speeding tickets, by the way.

Rampart: I was born for politics. I have great hair and I love lying

Crosshair: *when he first woke up on mount tantiss* Well, well, well... if it isn’t my old friend the dawning realization that I messed up.

Nala-se: Hunter... How do I begin to explain Hunter?

Omega: Hunter is flawless.

Crosshair: I hear their hair's insured for $10,000.

Tech: I hear they do car commercials... in Japan.

Hemlock: One time they punched me in the face... It was awesome.

Tech: Good responses for being stabbed with a knife?

Omega: Rude.

Hemlock: That’s fair.

Hunter: Not again.

Lizzie: Are you going to want this back?

Echo: I’ve done a lot of dumb stuff.

Hunter: I witnessed the dumb stuff.

Lizzie: I recorded the dumb stuff.

Omega: I joined in on the dumb stuff.

Tech: I TRIED TO STOP YOU FROM DOING THE DUMB STUFF!!!

Okay so, this is an update of my predictions since Into the Breach and Flash Strike has been released and I am so glad that none of my death predictions have came true yet.

So because of this, I am going to restart my predictions for the final episode called: The Calvary has Arrived. Here they are:

Omega rides the Zillo Beast after freeing it.

Echo and Emerie free the other children but try to find Omega

The TK Troopers execute Rampart in the forest

Nale Se gets killed by Hemlock

Commander Scorch fakes his death

Hunter kills Hemlock

Echo kills Dr. Scalder

Wrecker almost kills Emerie Karr but was stopped by Omega

CX-2 shows up and reveals himself to be Dogma

The Clone Commandos show up and kill Emerie Karr

The children and the Bad Batch escape

Crosshair kills CX-2/Dogma

That bear-ish creature from Flash Strike shows up and kills all the TK Troopers

The Clone Commandos corner the Bad Batch only to be occupied by the Zillo Beast

The Bad Batch try to find their way home only to discover Tech being alive.

They all hatch a plan to rescue Tech from the Empire

They discovered Tech's memory was wiped so there was no way to save Tech.

Tech kills Jax and Eva

Sami tries to run away only to get executed by Clone Commandos (Rampart Loyalist not the normal Imperial Commandos)

Hunter becomes Rambo as they execute plan 54 (which is basically them going batsh** insane)

Imperial Tech gets knocked out as Wrecker and Hunter kills the Commando Loyalist

Echo "dies"

Crosshair explains why his hand shakes

Tech remembers everything and kills everyone who attempted to kill Wrecker, Hunter, Crosshair and Omega

The Zillo Beast dies (somehow)

The Bad Batch carry Echo's "corpse" to the shuttle where they made a one-in-a-million chance to escape

Not a happy ending since Omega blames Echo for allowing Emerie to die.

Crosshair explains to Omega what truly happened

Tech explains how he survive his fall

When they arrive on Pabu they find out Echo is not dead.

Omega distances herself from Clone Force 99 (in other words, she doesn't forgive Echo and Tech for all the stuff they did)

Shep adopts Omega knowing that she'll be safer in his hands than in the hands of Pabu

Phee hugs Tech as he slowly hugs her back

Clone Force 99 abandoned their uniform and change their name while raising Mox, Deke, and Stak

Governor Tarkin shuts down the Advanced Science Division and initiates Project Starkiller (Not Starkiller Base from The Force Awakens)

The Clone Underground gets to be the next Clone related animated series.

And last but not least...

Hunter goes on a journey to make Omega happy again.

I know that is a lot but hey, it's better than Gonky, AZI-3, Phee, and Crosshair dying. With that being said, have an awesome rest of the weekend and I will see you all next time. This is PurgeTrooper77 signing out.

Hello there, fellow Bad Batchers (yes that's what I'm calling Bad Batch fans now) since we are gonna be approaching the Season 3 finale soon, I would like to share some of my predictions of how certain episodes are gonna go. I did this when Season 2 of the Bad Batch was still a new thing. With that being said, here are my predictions

Into the breach:

Rampart, Hunter, Wrecker and Crosshair find someone who knows how to get to Tantiss Base.

We see Captain Wolffe again

Omega talks to Eva and becomes close friends with her.

Hemlock terminates an Imperial deserter as a demonstration

Flash Strike:

Rampart dies during a mission

Phee hatches a plan to get to Tantiss

Wrecker Hunter and Crosshair have an encounter with CX-2

CX-2 is revealed to be Dogma

Crosshair finally explains why his hand shakes

Hunter fights Crosshair

Gonky and AZI-3 dies

Dogma/CX-2 dies

Phee falls out of the cliff (presumed death)

Hunter and Wrecker find their way to Mount Tantiss

The Calvary has arrived

Jax and that Pantoran child gets separated from Omega and Eva

Hunter and Wrecker breaks into Tantiss

Hemlock puts his special gas in (like in Tipping Point)

Hunter kills Commander Scorch in a rage

Wrecker rescues the children

Hemlock kills Emerie Karr

Hunter and Crosshair kills Hemlock

Howzer, Rex and other Clones go into Tantiss

Jax, the Pantoran subject, and Eva dies

Howzer gets blown up

Hunter becomes John Rambo and kills everyone

Crosshair meets an Imperial version of Tech

Tech reveals almost kills Crosshair but was stunned by Hunter

Omega learns the truth about Crosshair

Crosshair sacrifices himself to save Hunter Wrecker, and Omega (hopefully that really doesn't happen)

Gregor kills all the Clone Commandos that work for Hemlock

Hunter Wrecker, the Clone Underground members and Omega escape Tantiss

Omega blames Hunter for allowing Crosshair to die

Palpatine learns about what happens to Tantiss and dissolves the Advanced Science Division

Last but not least... a new series will rise that take place after the events of the Bad Batch (basically the final episode leading up to a special event or a new series)

These predictions may change but they may also remain the same. Have a nice day and I'll see you all whenever I do.
