I’m already annoyed by how many people I see calling this ep “filler.” Folks, the A plot is literally moving the plot forward seeking info about why the empire wants Omega so badly, it brings back Fennec AND makes it pretty clear that she’s bringing in Ventress, and the B plot is crucial characterization stuff for both Omega and Crosshair. Yet another absolute banger. Thanks for appreciating it, Kyle and Bendu!
Yeah and I mean even if it was “filler”, I don’t understand why that’s immediately considered a bad thing. Are people so spoiled now that they can’t even enjoy a 20 minute episode that doesn’t go full steam ahead 💀
Filler does not exist. Say it with me: “I must not say filler. Filler is the mind-killer. Filler is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my characterization episodes. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the filler has gone there will be nothing. Only narrative will remain.”
I rly love how Wrecker immediately jumps in after Hunter is snatched without even thinking. Rly shows how much the Batch loves and respects their leader
I love how Crosshair trusts Omega with his life now. You can see he is unbearably uncomfortable meditating at first but listens to her eventually and is starting to heal those emotional scars he carries. Amazing character development for him this season. Makes me suspicious for his fate 👀
The fact that Fennec specifically said she had worked "some clones" who were asking about these bounties, and the way she said "clones" with such disdain, I 100% think she was talking to Ventress and/or Quinlan because they have _hired Fennec_ to keep them apprised of anyone asking about M-count bounties. They are STOPPING the hunters from getting to the targets, and/or reaching the targets FIRST to help them get away as part of The Path. There are all kinds of reasons Ventress would want that info aside from being the one doing the hunting. This info helps her and Quinlan to RESCUE targets of the Empire.
Fun fact: Sylar’s title “Slayer of Ordo Eris” is a reference to fallen order kinda, Ordo was the guy on the hologram in the Haxion Brood part of the game when Cal gets captured.
Hunter's wrong at the end when he says that's not what they agreed on. Fennec literally said "if you pull through I'll get you what you want to know". Like she says, she never claimed that she already _had_ the information.
The person Fennec called might not be the M-count bounty hunter, just someone who'd be interested in clones. My guess is she called Ventress, and the M-count bounty hunter is Cad Bane.
I can see Ventress going after other Force sensitive people for their high M count. Because she never liked the Jedi and knows how to hunt them down. But two other reasons I can't see her do it is because of Quinlan Voss and their relationship. And she was taken away at a young age as well, saw her master die in front of her. So I can see her not doing it because she doesn't want others to go through what she did. Or I can see her hunt them down but not for the Empire but actually for the Path. Because we do learn in the Obi-Wan show that Obi-Wan says "Quinlan was here?"
Kyle and Bendu...OF COURSE, she's talking to Asajj Ventress. Ventress is likely intercepting Force-sensitive Imperial targets, before they're apprehended...taking them to Quinlan Vos and The Hidden Path...Oh, yes, The Inquisitorius is about to be unleashed on the galaxy. The Grand Inquisitor would be the first to be introduced...of course, Lord Darth Vader is going to be the SUPREME surprise appearance of the entire series. I loved this episode. Loved seeing the contrasting relationship dynamics between Omega and Crosshair/Fennec, Hunter, and Wrecker. More Fennec Shand is always good. It sucks that We haven't seen her in live-action, in 2 years. I'm not sure, but I would love it, if this space station is The Wheel, from the Marvel comics, and, most recently, LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures. I would love to see The Freemaker Family officially become part of official canon. Rowan would be about 20 years old, and a budding Force-user, by the time of The Mandoverse. Would love to see him become part of Luke's circle of friends. He already knows Lando...
I don't know if anyone else noticed. But at the end the "Ventress Motif" soundtrack is played subtletly. That is why to me is 100% confirmed Fennec is speaking to Ventress
Just to remind you Hunters ability is to feel electromagnetic fields so droids, mines, ships, bombs stuff like that and is a top notice tracker but the shadow is biomater was following them you can track a person fallowing you. As for the call Fennec was most likely calling Ventress Fennec is likely helping to hide.
The Fassbinder color palette in the bar on Fennec was cool (green/violet), or was it more Matisse? and why is Fennec not a Class 1 bounty hunter? Ventress is more likely to come to Omega's rescue, maybe working with Voss and The Path.
Remember that Bane held a distaste for Boba being a "cold blooded killer who worked for the Empire" so I don't think Bane would be doing the Empire's dirty work!
I don’t think Fennec betrayed the boys. They’ve always made her mysterious and ambiguous as far as her allegiances. She likely contacted Fennec or Voss. I really hope that Ventress is helping Voss with the Hidden Path by identifying, intercepting or rescuing M-count targets from the Empire. They’ll hopefully help Omega escape the Empire. This sounds like set-up for new adventures in another animated series and I’m here for it. In another theory, the muffled voice responding to Fennec totally reminded me of fulcrum. Is it too early for Ahsoka to be involved with the rebel alliance? Could Ahsoka be the one to fill in Omega and the M-count stuff?
Seeing crosshair bond ever closer to Omega is both sweet and meaningful to us as they’re the best duo right now. Meditation is beneficial for both the body/mind so that’s great. I’m so hyped up for the clone rebellion around May.
Ventress wouldn't be doing bounties for the Empire at this point...it is her, btw, because her theme is mixed in there at the end...plus she would know what M counts means, being a Jedi padawan at first before she went to the dark side and was trained by Dooku, and why that is so important...she is the only other person on either side (major players)that we know of who would know the M count's importance...that includes Palpatine, Vader, Yoda, Obi-wan and Ahsoka (the latter 3 being in hiding since the purge)...and if you think about how they scrambled the voice in the hologram...they did the exact same thing with disguising Fulcrum's identity in Season 1 of Star Wars Rebels, who we found out in the Season 1 finale "Fire Across the Galaxy" that Fulcrum was Ahsoka...and given the fact that Ventress was in the trailer of this season of The Bad Batch, we know she's coming.
It’s gotta be Ventress. It’d make sense if she and Fennec have done a few bounties together. My second guess that’s not very likely but a fun one nonetheless would be Boba Fett. It’d be kinda cool if him and Omega met. Just a little fan fic of finding out they’re siblings and first clones.
I read a comment elsewhere that in that final scene we can hear Ventress' theme music playing. I'm not sure about that, but if true then that's our answer.
She was 100% talking to Ventress. You can hear her theme playing at the end. And I agree there is no way Ventress is working with the Empire. She might be taking these M-count bounties in order to reach them first, and hand them off to Voss. We may see the start of the Hidden Path here.
Ok, it's taken me watching a dozen reactions to come up with this thought. Fennec admitted to NOT doing one of these M count bounties, but why? I'd imagine that would be beaucoup amounts of credits. So, maybe she's against it for some reason. And maybe, since Ventress has an M-count, she's a target, and Fennec is helping her stay hidden. Maybe she's misread Hunter's intentions and thinks he's after the targets. So she's sending Ventress to figure it out and get rid of them, if necessary.
My theory is that Ventress is being hunted for her M-Count and can shed some light on what it is to the clones. Also, she might be willing to seek them out because they are not working for the Empire.
BTW, the praying mantis alien is the first one you see in the cantina in episode 4. Go back and check. I don't remember the species name as it is typically f'ed up.
I cannot believe they did not take the opportunity for EITHER "We're gonna need a bigger boat" Or " Never get out of the boat." Can you believe there are people who still don't understand the capabilities of the helmet? In addition to space, they can have extended Operation in total toxic atmosphere or underwater.. "Sir, is this gonna be a straight up Fight or another bug hunt?" ~PVT Hudson, USCM~ 19:23 I am sorry you do not get "asked" to become an inquisitor. If you end up on that list, I believe the exact quote is "join us or Die.".... In your best vader impression.
that was good episode like the space Florida planet. also, like meditation scene with omega and crosshair also i have good idea who she called WE SAW HER IN THE TRAILER
Hunter's tracking ability stems from him being able to sense the electromagnetic fields living bodies and droids produce......now if he was in a group and no one else then the Imperial Agent could have never snuck up on him, but he was at a base with various Clones in other areas of the base.
I think it's safe to say that while in episode 3 we had the positive M-Count test with Omega, this episode is basically the confirmation that Omega is force sensitive for sure. All the hints are there from other seasons.

@@jasonmarbachLisan al Gaib speaks the truth!
@@aricaj.3006 💯
Ppls attention spans can’t handle when there isn’t action, big reveals, and returning characters 24/7
It can't be Cad Bane. He wouldn't exactly be on friendly terms with Fennec after she ruined his score and destroyed his payment.
Probably Ventress. Her theme very briefly played in that scene.
I rly love how Wrecker immediately jumps in after Hunter is snatched without even thinking. Rly shows how much the Batch loves and respects their leader
I love how Crosshair trusts Omega with his life now. You can see he is unbearably uncomfortable meditating at first but listens to her eventually and is starting to heal those emotional scars he carries. Amazing character development for him this season. Makes me suspicious for his fate 👀
yep, last time Omega got so close to a clone (Tech), it didn't go that well... :((
yeah death flags are going crazy (im not ready)
What if the heartbreaking thing that happens is Omega splits from her brothers at the end of the season to protect them
Guess this is how ventress makes her debut soon. Still it was funny watching them fight space Florida man

*Literally everybody else* : Space Florida
*Me seeing the swamp mines* : did they just make Space Vietnam canon???
The whole atmosphere made me think of apocalypse now
to be fair, other reactors have said Planet New Orleans or Space Louisiana, and arguably even more famous swamp state than Florida
Umbara was Space Vietnam
The person Fennec called might not be the M-count bounty hunter, just someone who'd be interested in clones. My guess is she called Ventress, and the M-count bounty hunter is Cad Bane.
Ventress is hunting down bounty hunters who are looking force users for the empire.
I can see Ventress going after other Force sensitive people for their high M count. Because she never liked the Jedi and knows how to hunt them down.

Crosshair: "You've been to Kashyyyk?! What about he droid attack on the wookies?"
Suspect Ventress is the 1 who knows about m count, she is a former Jedi and Dark Side assasin, she surely knows they are midichlorians.
I hate how much I’m loving crosshair. He’s my favourite and the last time a bad batcher got this much screen time…we know what happened😭
Ventress doesn't have to work for the Empire to know what M-counts are.
Ventress was a padawan Before she was a Sith apprentice.... She knows exactly what an M Count is.
I don't know if anyone else noticed. But at the end the "Ventress Motif" soundtrack is played subtletly. That is why to me is 100% confirmed Fennec is speaking to Ventress
Blowing up stuff and wrestling a space gator. Wrecker has transcended to Space Florida man.
Skipped my favourite lines of the episode.
"Who's Phee?"
"She's a liberator of ancient wonders"
*Crosshair stares*
"Pirate. She's a Pirate"

Wrecker’s really fed up with Fennec this episode 😂😂
Fun fact Sylar is a Yam'rii or a Huk, the same species as the praying mantis looking patron from Chalmun's Cantina in A New Hope.
Crosshair doing owl impressions in this episode 😂
Who? Who?
This shadow assassin has to be Tech I recognize his knife
The Fassbinder color palette in the bar on Fennec was cool (green/violet), or was it more Matisse? and why is Fennec not a Class 1 bounty hunter? Ventress is more likely to come to Omega's rescue, maybe working with Voss and The Path.
what is the B1 battle droid prop doing in Kyle's background, giving off ian malcolm, jurassic park vibes.
She's talking to Ventress
Remember that Bane held a distaste for Boba being a "cold blooded killer who worked for the Empire" so I don't think Bane would be doing the Empire's dirty work!
I feel this this is the calm before the storm😢
I don’t think Fennec betrayed the boys. They’ve always made her mysterious and ambiguous as far as her allegiances. She likely contacted Fennec or Voss. I really hope that Ventress is helping Voss with the Hidden Path by identifying, intercepting or rescuing M-count targets from the Empire. They’ll hopefully help Omega escape the Empire.

Seeing crosshair bond ever closer to Omega is both sweet and meaningful to us as they’re the best duo right now. Meditation is beneficial for both the body/mind so that’s great.

With the meditating scene, am I the only one now who wanted to just join those two ?
Go listen to some TCW episodes with Ventress and compare the music in that scene. It sure does sound like we're getting some yellow lightsaber soon...
It’s gotta be Ventress. It’d make sense if she and Fennec have done a few bounties together. My second guess that’s not very likely but a fun one nonetheless would be Boba Fett. It’d be kinda cool if him and Omega met. Just a little fan fic of finding out they’re siblings and first clones.
Maybe Ventress is searching for Quinlan, maybe he’s being held captive on Tantiss (as an M-count donor)
Ventress wants revenge against the Empire for her people.
This emcount thing is really puzzling
Wasn’t expecting ep8 so nice suprise. Those jungle shots were stunning in yellow haze
I literally said space gators too. 😂😂
That planet really does look like Florida.
The Hutts have already bagged space Cajun with Ziro the Huts mom/parent/whateve curent Hutt cannon biology is.
The music that plays after fennecs transmission is the ventress theme from clone wars
I read a comment elsewhere that in that final scene we can hear Ventress' theme music playing. I'm not sure about that, but if true then that's our answer.
She was 100% talking to Ventress. You can hear her theme playing at the end.
And I agree there is no way Ventress is working with the Empire. She might be taking these M-count bounties in order to reach them first, and hand them off to Voss. We may see the start of the Hidden Path here.
What do you mean this is not a filler on some ways it is they go on a side mission to hunt down a bug on a planet that takes and eats up screen time
Many thanks to Kyle, Bendu and Nerd Chronic! ↔
I have been looking forward for this
Has Boba also made a name for himself yet to be a Class 1 Bounty Hunter?
I love the bonding moments between Crosshair and Omega
Ok, it's taken me watching a dozen reactions to come up with this thought. Fennec admitted to NOT doing one of these M count bounties, but why? I'd imagine that would be beaucoup amounts of credits.

Yeah Crosshair is definitely dying at the end of this season to save the Batch or specifically Omega.
Love the bonding between Crosshair and Omega
14:42: Fennec = rip headphones users 😅
she was definitely talking to asajj ventres
The mantis thing is of the species that fought grievous’s kaleesh people before the clone wars!!!
Are those bouncer droids the same model as L2?
I think they are similar the droid jedi character from Hunters
I feel like the only one who was thinking about apocalypse now when watching this
i thibnk she was talkinhg to boba fett, whonis probably same as omega as far as m count
Could it be be Boba?
So enjoy Wanda in Star Wars
Crosshair = Growth.🙂
That view as they were meditating is enough to cure any issues!
Florida, man.
I think it's safe to say that while in episode 3 we had the positive M-Count test with Omega, this episode is basically the confirmation that Omega is force sensitive for sure. All the hints are there from other seasons.
there was a bit of Ventress music there at the end
