Should be far enough down. Ok, so The first episode at first seemed to have redundant scenes. The same few scenes of Omega doing the same thing. But the tally marks and the variations on her daily activities, and the fact that it was repetitive really drove home the feeling that time passed slowly and monotonously. I actually enjoyed watching it and feeling the drag of being a "prisoner" in all but name. Really gave me the feeling of her being bored, lonely, hopeful, and determined to escape.  Really liked seeing the actions Omega took with Batcher, the interactions with Nala Se,  and how Omega still sees Crosshair as redeemable. She gives me the feeling that she is optimistic and hopeful and would make a good rebel or new republic diplomat. 

Episode two was interesting. I want to know what the planet of the lab was, and why it was destroyed, and what it was experimenting on. The Slither vine monster made me think of the Watcher in the Water from the Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Overall a fun episode, but would have liked to perhaps see more of the process of getting the details of Hemlock's labs, but this was still good. Hope the young clones can be seen or referenced to in the future. 

Episode three was dramatic. I was pleased to have the visitor arrive. The drama of the centrifuge turning as each sample gets analyzed was appreciated. This was a tense and almost stressful episode and I appreciated the way it made me think and feel. I wonder what the experiments were about and why the M-count mattered. I wish it were in regards to Joruus C'baoth or perhaps a clone from the hand of Luke. An evil Luke from Dark Empire or Luuke would be a surprise to unveil, but most likely it will just end up being Snoke or the Emperor's clone. I wonder if the cloning chambers are the Spaarti Cloning Chambers? I hope so cause that would be a link to Heir to the Empire Trilogy, which is one of my all-time favorite Star Wars books.

I do have one idea that most likely is just my over imagination. I imagine the Visitor would have sensed something wrong when they shot Emerie, but there was no sign of intense emotion and no deaths so I suppose there may not have been a disturbance in the force to detect, and I guess that there would have been no reason to extend one's force sense to scan and monitor the entire facility. Which means my imagination is just doing what the Emperor would have desired: cause fear and over estimate his power to the point where I probably would have been caught or given myself away with my emotions.

I am pleased with this season so far, and look forward to seeing if the remaining episodes are as fun and interesting.  Let me know your thoughts on these three episodes.
