I'd say 'The Bad Batch' has been consistently 'Good to Excellent.' I've enjoyed it.

I wonder if Quinlan Vos will appear, since the last we hear of him, he survived Order 66. And he was part of the Ventress story line.

He also appeared in a couple of episodes of the Clone Wars and was a complete jerk.

I shared thought provoking quotes, pictures, memes & occasionally I used my own words, not with aggression but with respect & the occasional comedy to keep the mood light in dark times.
I guess everyone thinking Carano was an idiot is technically a thought that was provoked by her tweets.

beep/bop/boop....so respectful.

I actually don't think Carano should have been fired, but also didn't really miss her character, who sucked, and don't really have that much sympathy for Carano either.

She implied that being a Republican today was like being Jewish in the Holocaust.....

edit: you also don't get to say people are unfairly calling you alt right when you sign with Ben Shaprio films or whatever

I might just be having a day but...what? Is she implying that Republicans are being persecuted?

Because it kinda looks the other way around.

Either way...thats a pretty mild statement. Its dumb, sure, but so what? People are allowed to say dumb crap. Its not like it's hate speech or anything.

Yeah, she did imo. Within the context of everything that was swirling around her. Fwiw it started with folks, including Pedro, trying to have a good faith conversation about gender non conformity and affirmation of queer folks and then spiraled out from there. Again, not saying I'm all for online pile ons, as it more often further entrenches folks in ####tyness adn they double down, which is what she did imo. Like she was in the Hunter Biden laptop movie etc. The fact that that grift isn't working, and she's now backed by Elon, is a probably a large part of why she's filing suit.

And like she can say whatever she wants, but that doesn't prevent her from having consequences. It's not like Disney doesn't have it's own lawyers that let them terminate her contract, ya know?

I thought the worst thing she did was the beep Boop bop comment. I would prefer giving her the chance to educate herself and seek redemption instead of just piling on and forcing her back to against the wall.

The Holocaust remarks were way overblown. People incessantly make inaccurate Nazi and Holocaust comparisons. Most political debates degrade into people calling each other Nazis.

Which, iirc folks were trying to do and she beep booped into the other extreme.

But generally I agree, and I'm sure Disney will just settled this out of court. They don't want her back, and I'm sure she doesn't even really want to come back.

While you're almost certainly right, this is where we come to another issue in current-day Hollywood...

You also dont want to get black-balled by the 'biggest game in town.'

It makes getting future work...very difficult.

And Disney? They're it.

It's not like they recent bought a whole other historic studio.

But she'll be fine, I mean Mel Gibson is back and his #### was way worse imo.

She sucks.

But so does Disney.

There is no winners here, only massive losers.

Mel Gibson was a huge star, and a white male. Very different situation.
