Definitely an improvement over last week.
I see where some of the negative reviews are coming from, but I don't totally agree and I think people are once again being way too harsh. This wasn't bad at all, and it isn't quite filler either.
I think the most thought-provoking development here is Ventress's final conversation with the Bad Batch. If Omega is actually force sensitive, she would need proper training and would have to take that leap of faith, leaving behind her family. Could this actually happen this season? Would Omega actually leave them behind to become a force-wielder/Jedi? Will the Batch die? Go out with a bang and that being the final push for her to finally let go and embrace the force?
Anyway, I have no idea of she'll even become a Jedi. It's sort of cool to think about. It's giving Mandalorian and Grogu... But I don't know, I'm not bothered by that.
I enjoyed this episode either way though. I've not read any of Disney's Star Wars books (big Legends fan here) so I cannot speak for what is and isn't canon. A lot of it is jumbled at this point... All I know is did enjoy seeing Asajj Ventress again. It's interesting seeing a Ventress that is just more herself, more full-circle. She's still rough around the edges, but more collected than she's ever been too. I've always felt for her. She was arguably one of the best side characters in The Clone Wars.
Plus, she's rockin' that hair and that yellow lightsaber! And a force-wielding bounty hunter/scavenger is just such a neat idea.
She states something we've long feared; they cannot hide from the Empire forever, not even on Pabu. Seeing as next week we're getting a two-part episode, I'll bet stuff is about to get REALLY good again. We're in the final stretch.
Clone Wars fans will probably get more out of this episode than casual Bad Batch/Star Wars folk, but it's still entertaining and fascinating.
Real talk; who would actually train Omega? I gotta know!
