Featured review
Disjointed third season
Seasons 1 and 2 are "the bad batch", retreading familiar ground, clones questioning their purpose and who they are, but done so with a new perspective being forced to act as something they'd never been prepared for, surrogate parents and it's well done. Kids are rubbish in all forms of media, no stories are ever made more interesing by the inclusion of kids, but seasons 1 and 2 managed to include omega without making her feel like dead weght only fit to pad time between relevant story progressing scenes.
The third season however is not the bad batch, it is the adventures of omega.
Echo is reduced to a guest character whose presence could be done by literally any unnamed cloned.
Hunter and wrecker are chaffeurs whose only purpose is to be expostion for explaining how omega gets from place to place Crosshair is given a pseudo redemption arc where nothing that led to that point are addressed so it has no weight to it.
Across the whole bad batch squad, none of them have plot lines, none of them are relevant, the entire concept of the show revolving around a "defective" group of clones goes completely out the window and the protagonists are treated as the exact thing they aren't supposed to be, mindless, personality devoid, indistinguishable clones. The first 4 episodes serve no purpose other than showing time has passed, which could be accomplished with one line of dialogue, when the inevitbale does happen it is an emotionless 3 second scene where the events of season 2 and the first 4 episodes of season 3 are instantly dropped and bare no significance. Then the cherry on top is after spending the entire season glossing over the events and victims of seasons 1 and 2, removing all recognizable characters from previous seasons, removing the entire concept of who the "bad batch" are they spit in our collective face one final time by not even giving an ending. Hunter gets about 3 lines of dialogue and that's it, Echo, Wrecker and Crosshair get no dialoque,no epilogue, no conclusion, no resolution to the problems they faced in season 3, no closure to the stuff they collectively went through over 3 seasons and then the credit's role without them getting a single line of dialogue, a single moment with echo, a single moment with each other, they don't even get so much as a salute. Just by writing this review I have put more time and effort into creating an ending for those characters than LucasFilm did, which is such a shame. Season 3 is such a consistent slap to the face that you would be better off watching seasons 1 and 2 and then just reading a synposis of the final episode of season 3 out of curiosity because there is nothing of substance to view and you could miss 14 full episodes and 45 minutes out of the 15th episode and you would not have missed anything whatsoever.
