The Bad Batch Episode 12 S2 Breakdown HE SNAPS FINALLY

They land on Barton 4 and head to the base where we see droids moving cargo and only 3 clones left. He says they waited 36 days for him to come in and help, and there’s a ton of attitude from Nolan. The guy is so rude and callous. The clone commander says his boys all died here, and i tihnk it’s from the harsh conditions without proper care and aid from the empire.
They know nothing about what’s in the cargo, which tells me that for the year they’ve been at this outpost, they aren’t trusted or told anything. The treatment from the empire is horrible.
there’s a heist going on against the empire and crosshair tracks one of them down with Mayday. They enter a cavern that was dug to sneak past their defences. Two more clones pass away and Mayday pays his respects. As Nolan walks in and berrates them for just standing around. In these super harsh conditions and lack of empathy or care, making the odds all the more against them. It’s very clear Palpatine wants to move on from clones and wipe them out as much as possible. This can be seen by their lack of food or care as they began to starve unitl crosshair and nolan showed up.

They both navigate through the tunnel and make small talk, as crosshair steps on a land mine and Mayday answer his question about what clone force he’s from, and when asked what happened ot 99…Crosshair tells Mayday they’re all dead. We see the hesitation in crosshair’s voice as we can tell he’s sad or something is going on in his head. I believe this is the episode of Crosshair’s redemption arc. They come across the thieves and take em out together, making a fantastic team. I really think Crosshair will turn back to join his brothers only to have someone sacrifice himself for him.

they find some plastoid armor from the storm troopers, and see how much nicer quality and shape it is, proving that the empire uses the cheapest armor and equipment for them, but gives the best to their new stormtroopers.
As they fall under an avalanche, Crosshair pulls Mayday out of it, and i gotta say from this scene on the animation just took a different leap. It looked like something from Toy Story but even better with how fluid it was.
Crosshair pull Mayday out of the snow as he’s unconscious and gives him his helmet to help keep him warm and to help him breathe. As we know trooper helmets can survive in many harsh circumstances, weathers and toxic gases.

Crosshair carries Mayday back to the base as they finally get to the lt Nolan and collapse. Nolan just stands there and denies them a medic, saying they failed their mission, it would be a waste of the empire’s resources to help them. This guy is so horrible. As Mayday dies on the scene, Crosshair is on his knees, exhausted, as he’s ordered to get back to work from this Nolan guy, tell him clones are expendable, which is what the clones said to plo koon, where he told them, not to me.
The clones were raised to think they were to just follow orders, in which they were of course, but they had to practice immensely and be trained. As Crosshair sees the bird from above, we know it’s a space vulture, but it sounds like Morai the light side embodiment of the dark side from star wars clone wars who transferred her energy into Ahsoka to save her. I think whenever she pops up, it’s to instill the light in others, and funny enough this was the moment Crosshair cracked. When he saw how free the bird was. Morai i think comes in diferent ways, and I believe this could have been one of them, as little sense as it makes for it to show up for crosshair. but perhaps there’s something bigger at place…what qui gon would call fate or destiny or the will of the force.

Crosshair feels the rage and shoots the lt point blank and then collapses. Only to be woken up on what I think is mount tantiss by a female clone doctor running tests on him, as they wait for the doctor. This of course is the same doctor as the last episode, who specializes in Cloning. I think they will reprogram crosshair. I think they’re going to have him there on Tantiss and then Omega will be captured, only to find Crosshair is there too. She’ll want to save him, and so Tech will probaly be sacrificed for the life of his brother. They’re always now showing so much more of him with Omega and I think it’s to develop his character and human side so we bond more with him, making his death that much more impactful.
