Cid's Batch (Bad Batch) S2 Ep9

Hey everyone, hope you are keeping well.

Well, after a pretty good week last week for most BB viewers, it was kind of expected that this week would feature another Cid mission and some more filler.

For me, most of this episode was pretty boring and lackluster. As soon as I heard Cid's name I cried into my pillow. Nothing really got me invested into this episode, which was probably the main reason it didn't excite me. Probably too much Omega and Wrecker in this episode to be a favourite or even likeable one. However, I do acknowledge that there was a lot of necessary CD in this episode for Omega and, mainly Tech. I do think it was worthwhile going into depth of how Tech's enhancements had led him to be too logically minded that he had almost lost his emotions and empathy. Having Tech talk about being a soldier and how they must adapt to new situations was quite interesting a slightly moving. I feel like it is important to respect the fact that Omega doesn't really have a family, and so the Bad Batch is the closest thing she can get. So having Omega talk to Tech about how losing Echo is like losing a family member was a highlight of the episode. I will say though that I did get quite worried a few times Omega started looking at the Ipsium pockets because I thought they were gonna make them like Kyber crystals and then all of a sudden Omega is force-sensitive.

I will note while writing this that it didn't make a huge amount of sense why the nearest establishment was abandoned since there were apparent regular poachers.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the episode!
