The Bad Batch: [Crosshair] Hunter? I... I thought I knew what I was getting into with the Empire. I thought I was being a good soldier.
The Bad Batch: [Hunter] Nobody really understood what was happening back then.
The Bad Batch: [Crosshair] I've done things. I've made mistakes.
The Bad Batch: [Hunter] I have regrets too, Crosshair. All we can do is keep trying to be better. And who knows? There just might be hope for us yet.
Featured review
Crosshair's return
This was more about the reintegration of Crosshair into the Bad Batch.
There is a lot of tension between him and Hunter, while Wrecker seems to be more content and just happy the gang's back together. For the most part, this episode tied together the redemption arc that Crosshair's been on since the last episode of season one. It solidifies his disillusionment with the Empire that was supposed to deliver on its promise of peace and stability but failed.
Still, I feel Crosshair's development, much like the development of the other characters, is nowhere near finished. He still has to adjust and come to terms with his role in all of this. As for the others, Hunter too needs to learn about what exactly it was that made Crosshair leave the Bad Batch in the first place. It wasn't merely the source of different ideologies but one of purpose. The Bad Batch, first and foremost, are soldiers, and what are soldiers without a military or a government to utilize them properly? The others of the Batch, especially Omega, seem to have figured this out about Crosshair. However, Hunter still thinks--at least that's my impression--that because they are a team and brothers, they stick together, not because they are a military unit established by the Republic (that no longer exists) that has given them that purpose for their entire lives. Crosshair wants the stability a government can offer and he doesn't find that (at least he initially didn't find that with the Bad Batch).
In conclusion, this episode did a great job of getting this point across. I can't wait for the next one!
