✨ Spoilers ✨

I’ve been saying for a while that “the Calvary has arrived” episode tittle refers to the clone rebellion and that it perfectly parallels the bad batches first appearance in the clone wars. Now I’m seeing a lot of other people saying this and I’m so…. GLAD that more people have joined this delusional boat with me 😊🤡

At the same time tho I wouldn’t be surprised if it executes differently too.

1) echo and emerie

I actually suspect that omega and the other children are going to escape before echo and emerie get to them. When they find no children what else are they gunna do. I think THEY are going to be the ones to release the other clone prisoners. That’s a small army of men fighting, they are the Calvary … tho I still think in this scenario Rex and the rebellion will show up. It’ll be a two front war for hemlock: front 1 being the inside and front two being the outside.

2) it actually is the bad batch

Imagine omega and the children are in a tight spot and then BOOM 💥 their opponent is knocked out and who is it! Wrecker and the other batchers and wrecker screams “the Calvary has arrived” and they all hug YAYYY. So basically some form of reunion happens. Could also work vice versa. Omega and the children atop the zillo beast saving the bad batch

Ohmygod.... my mother just said these words to me.

My mom: you know Benedict Cumberpatch?

Me: yeah?

My mom: You know how his fans are called the Cumerbitches?

Me: ....yes??

My mom: What would Hunter girls be called? Hunter Hoes?

I spat up blood laughing at this woman. Five minutes I spent wheezing.

Me: what about Wrecker girls?

My mom: oh... I dunno..... I'm a Wrecker girl so... what should I call myself?

Me: Wrecker Whore?

My mom: no.. you have to hear the W......

(not denying she's a whore....)

My mom: poor Echo.... [long pause]

Me: so...

My mom: Echo Escorts?

Me: did you look that up??

My mom: ....no. loser.

Everyone. Praise my mother and her bestowed knowledge. She is one of us. (Crosshair Cunts and Hemlock Hoes now exist too)

Coming Full Circle

There is a LOT of giving up going on around here! 🤨

"There are only two episodes to go." "There's not enough time to get Tech back." "We aren't going to find out who CX-2 is this late in the show."

Whoa! Just whoa.

Put on the brakes, peeps! There's so much of the full-circle storytelling technique going on in this series that there is NO reason to be giving up yet. There are a few parallels happening that are giving me hope that I want to share with you. I hope they help with your anxiety over what's coming in the next couple of weeks the way they have helped me with mine:

"The Cavalry Has Arrived" is the title of the final episode and also the very first words uttered by a Batcher in The Clone Wars. They came to the rescue then, and they are doing it now.

In that Clone Wars story arc, the Batch teamed up with Rex and other clones on a mission to infiltrate an enemy installation. They're doing that again. We know the Batch is on their way to Tantiss and we know from trailers that Rex will be there too.

They went into their Clone Wars mission with a specific task to accomplish, and in the course of that mission discovered that someone presumed dead was alive and being made to aid the enemy. It was Echo in The Clone Wars, and it could easily be Tech now.

The Clone Wars arc was four episodes long. Reports are saying that the final episode will be roughly triple the length of a single episode like "Aftermath" was to begin the series. That means that we have as much content still ahead of us to end the series as the entire Anaxes/Skako Minor/Echo rescue arc in The Clone Wars. They made a LOT happen in that story arc, and it looks like that's how much time we have coming up. A lot can still happen.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. I've had a lot of fun on this roller coaster ride through the galaxy with you all and our favorite defective clones. May the Force be with us as it wraps up! 🧡

Where’s the money?! 😀

ough. extra soft tonight.

The low light of the night filtered through the window. Phee pushed the door open, sighing softly as she stepped into the nearly completely dark house.

She looked around, cursing herself at the hour. She had sworn to be back earlier. She pittered through the dark home, the moon lighting her way as she slipped down the hall, kicking off her boots as she did.

The house was silent. The very air itself was thin as she stood at the end of the hall, just outside her room.

She pushed inside, and paused. She did not remember to expect him.

Him, laid strewn across her bed. Recognisable datapad buzzing intermittently beside him, even more familiar goggles pushed up as if he was only moving them to rub his eyes.

His legs dangled off the bed. It looked like he fell into the bed. The room was still, silent outside of the soft snores that rose from her lover. Who must have fallen asleep waiting for her.

Phee allowed a small smile as she walked inside, towards the bed. She scooped up the datapad, powering the beloved device down before gently connecting it to charge. She turned to the goggles, next, gently untangling them from his curls.

She placed them by the datapad, and she finally stopped by her lovely intruder. She dipped, crouching by his boots, still muddy- oh, she was getting him for that later– and gently pulled them off.

He sighed, a sort of huff as she massaged the spot where his harsh boots met skin. He shivered, delighted as she lifted him further onto the bed.

"This is a one time thing," She whispered. "You hear me, Brown Eyes?" Phee nearly laughed as a string of incoherence left him at the mere mention of his title.

He seemed to coil into her once her hands found him, his face softening as he settled closer against her. Phee laughed, letting out a needed groan of relief as she finally settled against her pillows.

Tech was on top of her, a comfortable weight she could no longer live without, head pillowed to her chest. She placed a soft kiss to his head, ruffling the curls before slipping off herself.

"Phee," Tech's soft voice murmured against her. She hummed.

"Phee?" She frowned, unwilling to rouse when she was so comfortable. She hardly notice the tone had changed.

The weight rolled off her, and left like it hadn't ever existed. She missed it dearly, the ghost of his skin against hers. She managed to force an eye open.

"Phee. Phee, wake up."

That was not Tech's voice.

She sat up, looking around until her eyes landed on Hunter. "We're nearly there," He muttered. "Just wanted to give you prep time." He looked sheepish, and turned, walking away.

Phee took a shaky breath. Right, she was not at home, she was on her ship. Tech couldn't have been with her, couldn't have spoken to her. Tech was dead.

Her boots ached uncomfortable where they pressed to her skin. She stood up, and walked towards her cockpit. She ignored the piercing eyes of Tech's twin as she moved past.

Tech was still dead when she got to the cockpit, still dead when she purposely made a mistake on the controls. There was no one to correct her. There was no one to rest atop her after this was all over.

There was no rest for the wicked.

Evolution of hugs between Omega and Echo

Echo being surprise and needing a moment to hugs Omega back.

Echo been more ready this time and have his arms open to welcome her.

He dropping on one knee, arms open and ready to hug back Omega.

sorry the quality isn't the best, but i wanted to torture myself with zoomed in shots of Crosshair's expressions while Omega is trying to convince him of her recapture/Tantiss plan. 🥺(S3 E11)

Bad Batch speculation time ✨

Even tho I’m wrong every time

All I really have to say is I just know we are going to get a massive cliff hanger in the next episode right?! It’s the second to last episode!!! They gotta pile on the tension!!! Not really sure WHAT it’s going to be tho.

Will the bad batch actually make it inside Tantiss?

Will omega make any headway in her escape attempt?

Will we see more of emerie or CX-2?

Or will this episode focus solely on the boys trekking to the lab?

I’m mostly nervous over what will happen with echo. I do think this part of the teaser is cropped to keep echo out of frame so as to not spoil his return. Also makes sense why we haven’t seen a lot of him in the trailers this season… because all of his scenes are too revealing haha 🤣

But if this picture is NOT cropped and echo isn’t with them yet, then I think echos goal is trying to get word out to Rex where he is (though if he has a tracker or comm on him from Rex then I don’t see why he would need to do that) echo is on that science ship by himself … I wonder if somehow he will get to mount tantiss first!!! The science ship is headed straight for the labs 😭 and all those fighter jets are after hunters ship. echo doesn’t have time to jump off or get on the other ship. (Unless hunters ship is docked at a hatch opening then echo could easily jump into the ship)

It would be a very interesting choice to have echo get to Tantis first. Makes me incredibly anxious tho. With him inside he can help get the bad batch in.

Other than echo it’s obvious what else happens. We’ve got the team getting shot down and descending into the forest! From there anything could happen 🤷‍♀️

(Haha what if they send CX-2 out to eliminate them and we get a tech reveal as the cliff hanger 🤡 don’t ask me how they unbrainwash him tho but if they do somehow as a cliff hanger then it would be really great seeing tech work with the team for a whole hour. )

I’d actually like it if the story went this way (whether CX-2 is tech or not) this would be a perfect way to “end” the shadow clone storyline without stuffing too much into the finale. the climax of this episode being a duel between the bad batch and CX-2 and the bad batch overcoming him. (Especially if somehow the final blow jogs his brain and he comes back to himself) of course we saw hemlock look at that new shadow clone suit it would be interesting if this is where it gets put to use ya know. But I can still seeing a major fight happen in the finale with CX-2 and the bad batch if this doesn’t happen. (Pls pls pls pls pls pls let tech reveal happen at end of this episode 🤡)

Anyway that’s all I really have, as usual I am delusional.

I’m really gunna be like fives when the bad batch ends 😭

I may finally know peace 🕊️

Cause I love the bad batch so much to the extent that it’s affecting my lifestyle. I feel so restless waiting for the next episodes!! Pouring all this pent up energy into my art helps out but I work 8 hours a day 5 days a week and on top of my other responsibilities it’s hard to ever find time to pick up the pencil (I know I’m not alone in this 😣) The only solution is to throw on music and burry myself in my job since that makes time fly but I can’t help but reach for my phone every 30 min to an hour to see the latest bad batch tea 🫖 I. Need. Help.

Aka I should really lock my phone during the day

Well 19.6% of you were right 🤣 next up was echo 💙

He really gave me a run for my money (if ya know ya know haha )

Unfortunately I am not really satisfied with this so I’ll probably do him over.

I got sad coloring him cause he got so deathly pale after skakko minor, so I did a warmer skin tone version 🥺
