What I Liked

1. Hunter and Wrecker have become mercenaries. They are looking for information and to get said information, they have hunted down the Pike who took her son’s horn and disgraced their family. Their efforts get them the information they seek.

2. Hunter and Wrecker go to an abandoned Empire base, on the way there, they bump into “regs”. I always enjoy seeing young Clones who would have gone on to become soldiers. The regs were skeptical of Hunter and Wrecker but ultimately decided to help.

3. I do like how this episode had some sort of dark tone to it with a feeling like it was part of the Alien franchise.

What I Disliked

Nothing to report.

Favorite Moment

My favorite moment would be when Hunter, Wrecker, and the young clone were trapped, basically near death when the other two young clones came in with the Bad Batch ship to save the day.

Standout Character

I think I’ll give this to the young clone who instantly helped the Bad Batch. He knew he was a soldier and he decided to help anyway.

Verdict

Overall a better episode than the previous episode. This episode had a ton of action and a decent story. The episode also had an Alien franchise-type vibe to it which made it even better. Hopefully, the season continues to progress at a decent rate.

Rating: 8.7/10
