The absolutely amazing thing about this show is that almost the entire cast is played by one person-- the legendary Dee Bradley Baker. As the voice of all of the clones over the course of Clone Wars and Rebels, he got to lead a few arcs and stories, but here he plays the majority of the main cast and leading an entire show. Mad props to the man. And the animation! Lucas animation has come a long come a long way since 2008. This show is absolutely gorgeous, especially in its landscapes and cityscapes. Just amazing work. If you ever rewatch, there's an absolutely adorable sequence that's very easy to miss. While the Batch is confined in their cell, and for a little bit afterwards, Omega is mimicking every movement that Hunter makes. Aww. Also, good choice to get the odd single episode out of the way right at the start. No spoilers, of course, but there is a pair of episodes coming up that you will appreciate much more if you watch them together, and you are now on course to do so. And your journey with Saw is pretty much the same as the rest of our journey with Saw -- all over the place. Similar to the Doctor and River Song, one almost needs to write a diary to keep track.

So, it’s interesting that unlike the journeys through The Clone Wars and Rebels, The Bad Batch is an occasion where I’m starting a rewatch to share the journey with you, Jess, and I don’t know how it’s going to end. Clone Wars’s last season began the year before you started and wrapped up around your birthday that year. (One of the few positives of 2020.) Rebels had concluded five years prior to you starting that. Bad Batch, we presently have airing, the third and final season, and I promise I’m not going to speak in detail about that until we get to it. I’m in uncharted waters here, Jess, and it’s making me even more anxious and excited to share this show with you.

I'm actually in a similar place with Classic Who. Most of my classic Who experiences with the first three Doctors, who are still my favorites. In fairness, I've probably seen as much of the Fourth Doctor as some of the others simply due to the length of his tenure, but I still have not watched the entirety of his run. From the Fifth Doctor onward, I have only been able to watch sporadic arcs and stories. Thanks to almost the entire catalog of Classic Who dropping on Tubi, I have recently been watching along with Sesska and I'm prepared to dive into new territory with Five, Six and Seven.
