Episode 93: The Bad Batch — “Metamorphosis” and “The Outpost” (Season 2, Episodes 11–12)

Alexa, play “Taps.” 

“Metamorphosis” and “The Outpost” (The Bad Batch Season 2, Episodes 11–12) are the darkest Batch episodes yet. As the Batch scavenges a downed cruiser and Crosshair makes an icy trek across Barton-IV, the past comes back to haunt them: from cloned horrors of yesteryear, to the planned obsolescence of the clone army, to Crosshair’s bad decisions.

In our recap, we talk about Emperor Palpatine’s plans for immortality, parallels to the Umbaran Arc, great Bad Batch moments, and the true meaning of ice vultures.

Join us next week to recap “Pabo” and “Tipping Point” (Season 2, Episodes 13–14).
