With these two episodes we experience a bit of tonal whiplash following so close on the heels of the excellent and very dark Identity Crisis, but there's some good stuff to be found. Point of No Return is a solidly decent episode, although at times we wish it had pushed the stakes a little higher, and Juggernaut is a return to typical Bad Batch fare for better or worse, though it has some good humor and excellent animation. Let's jump in!

Out of nowhere comes Identity Crisis, an episode which quickly has become of one our favorite episodes in the entire series. It's probably most comparable to Twin Suns in Rebels as a one-off with a strong message and intense story telling. Let's jump in!

A strong return to form for the Bad Batch with a returning character that we all knew was going to show up. Asajj Ventress returning is everything we hoped it would be, and it's great to see her back in top form. Let's jump in!

The show takes a bit of an odd departure in this episode, splitting up into A and B plots where the A plot features an old bounty hunter friend but unfortunately doesn't do a lot to move the plot forward or to world build, while the B plot features more fun times with Omega and Crosshair that we wish could have gotten more of the focus. Let's jump in!

A great two parter has us very excited for what is to come next, but the lack of filler this season has left us feeling like we're racing towards the end. Let's jump in!

The showrunners seem to have developed the much appreciated ability to take an episode than in past seasons would have been disparaged as "filler" and give it just enough core plot movement to stave off that label. The majority of the focus of this episode is on the interpersonal relationships between members of the Batch, with some interesting parallels to Dune thrown in, and that's the strength of the show that has sometimes been missing from past episodes focused on the core characters. Let's jump in!

The first quarter of Bad Batch's third season has concluded, and we may be off to one of the strongest starts of any season of Star Wars animated TV. Continuing to feel more like Andor than any other show, a standalone fourth episode successfully navigates the treacherous waters that come from following up the excellent third episode.

The first few episodes of Season 3 start off strong, with three good episodes in a row. We get status quo updates on both of the major story lines from last season, with Hunter and Wrecker searching for Omega and Omega dealing with being a prisoner of the insidious Dr. Hemlock. Let's jump in!

We finally make it to the chronological end of Season 1, and to our most looked forward to arc! Impressively, it lives up to expectations and helps the season to end on a very high note. This will be the last Chronological Clone Wars episode for some time, as starting next week we'll be back with The Bad Batch, catching up on the second season in preparation for the third. But for now, let's jump in!

Coming in with low expectations may have helped this two-parter, as both of us felt the episodes were better than we expected. For the most part, these episodes helped us to refocus on how Clone Wars is perceived and remember that first and foremost, it's a show for the kids. Let's jump in!
