Aside from her fighting, Sabine/her actress is bogging things down a bit. I really can't stand her character. How is it she shows no remorse for dooming the galaxy and dishonoring her master while she's in her cell? She's just obsessed with Ezra, and then when they get their reunion it's.... pretty underwhelming.
Was she like this in Rebels?
How was Thrawn not able to spot the crab village and Ezra over years, and Sabine does a little recon for half a day and tracks him down?
I wonder what's calling Baylan to that planet..
Bring on ep. 7 and 8!

I literally came to post this exact same thing. Episode 5 seemed even greater after watching episode 6, because Sabine wasn't in it.
The actress is just not good.
I liked the initial introduction to Ezra though, the second "Didn't it?" was like straight out of his Rebels portrayal. I literally saw Ezra standing there in that moment. It was great.
Thrawn was good, he was quiet though CC is right about that. I liked his line about getting all the background on Ahsoka, that's his strength. He's not a super powered being, although I think his race has some elevated strength? At least it should if he is dumbying Dark Troopers with his fists and legs.
Although we saw Sabine kicking robots with her shins..
Anyway, he's like Batman in that regard. He can go up against super powered beings because he is always prepared. His knowledge is his super power. Oh god I sound like an after school special.
Really liked how his ship was all patched up, the storm troopers are worn and weathered. They even worked in the church organ music for him which was great, especially at the end there.
I found it a bit hard to believe that Ezra was so hard to find, but then so easy for Sabine.. I fully expected those creatures to live under ground and that would make a bit more sense how he could hide. But also Thrawn might have exerted a lot of resources to find him initially, then clawed back as those resources quickly dwindled. At any rate, they had to progress things quickly I get that. Can't have full episodes of Sabine wandering through the desolate planet.
I still think Stevenson remains the best part of the show. His Knight like attributes are great and very intriguing. I also love how we were all expecting him to say "not a jedi, a sith!" haha, but then "something more" to his apprentice.
So much good. Great series. Excited for the last two.
