Crosshair redemption arc complete.

James Cameron should get a co-writing credit.

There IS an officer WORSE than Gorman...

So the redemption arc for Crosshair has begun.  Yay.

Mayday is a terrible name for an officer.  There's all kinds of Abbott and Costello possibilities there . . .

I’m not sure I follow Imperial rank structure; wouldn’t a Commander outrank a LT?

This is an exception... Mayday is being immediately relieved of command duties- his replacement happens to be of a lower rank...

Fantastic episode! I think this is my favorite Bad Batch episode so far.

That was a heavy episode. It was quite gratifying that Crosshair listened to me when I yelled out that he should shoot the asshole. I don't know that he's redeemed but it would seem he's not an unwavering, loyal soldier. What I do think is interesting is that Crosshair is not that sympathetic of a character and by using a character who I could argue almost deserves what he's getting it's really driving home how hopeless the situation is for the Clones. The saddest part, for me, is I don't think any of them except Rex are making it out alive.

This was really an exceptional episode. Even the music was more remarquable than usual, in my opinion. They are really doing a very good job at fleshing the clones' fate after the war and the transition towards stormtroopers. I really think that this series is completely underestimated, the quality keeps getting better and better.

Those Stormtroopers are lucky that Crosshair collapsed... they would have a hard time explaining how 6 of them failed to hit a stationary target less than 10 feet away...

3 Clones And a Pre-Teen is not really a Batch... Crosshair rejoining is inevitable... Rex & Echo will probably bust him out of prison

Maybe next episode, Crosshair will get court-martialed- A Few Good Clones

Great episode with the Crosshair redemption arc beginning. So glad he killed that guy. Really liked the music as well, which reminded me of an 80s fantasy film.
