Summary: <p>We said “Reunion” was the best episode of S1 of The Bad Batch. Then we said it about “Devil’s Deal.” And now we’re saying it again about “Rescue on Ryloth” (S1, Episode 12) because holy shiznibblets!!</p> <p>This week, we’re recapping “Rescue on Ryloth” and “Infested,” which is pretty unfair to “Infested,” tbh. (But it does have some thoughts on trust fund babies, which are always appreciated.)</p> <p>We follow Hera Syndulla as she and the Bad Batch lie, cheat, steal, and explode their way into the prison where her parents are being held for false accusations of trying to assassinate Orn Free Taa (relatable). And then we follow Cid and the gang as they reclaim her office/bar, which has been taken over by a minor crime-lord-in-training. These episodes were not created equal, but we sure laughed a lot talking about them (and cried a lot watching one of them), and Nepotism Baby Roland Durand will always hold a place in our hearts, if only for having a really dumb name.</p> <p>Join us next week as we discuss the PENULTIMATE! two episodes of Season 1: “War-Mantle” and “Return to Kamino” (The Bad Batch Season 1, Episodes 14–15).</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/growingupskywalker/message
