Star Wars: The Bad Batch – Episode Seven review

Sometimes hard work doesn’t pay off.

That’s what the Bad Batch find out.


In Episode Seven, “Battle Scars,” the Bad Batch continues working for Sid, but she continues to take more than she gives them.


This arrangement comes as she adds “expenses” to the Bad Batch, kind of like how the Federal government and workers’ unions take away workers’ hard-earned wages through taxes and union fees.


Hunter and the gang are going to need a big payday in order to square things with Sid, especially after failing to get the Tactical Droid’s head in the last episode.


But it isn’t all bad news.


The Bad Batch run into an old friend from the Clone Wars: Captain Rex, Echo’s former commander.


Captain Rex was a prominent character on “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”


Following the events of “Clone Wars: Season Seven,” Rex has maintained a low profile. It helps that the Empire believes he was killed in action.


Rex reveals that Rafa and Trace Martez informed him about the Bad Batch, and so he tracked the team down.


He is amazed to meet Omega since he’s never met a Clone like her.


Rex also has suspicions about the Bad Batch because they haven’t removed their inhibitor chips. He experienced firsthand how dangerous those inhibitor chips are during Season Seven of “The Clone Wars.”


Hoping to avoid the Bad Batch becoming just like the regular Clone troopers, Rex warns the team that they can’t control those inhibitor chips once they are activated.


The Bad Batch then decide that they must get their inhibitor chips removed. Rex is determined to help them. They decide to trust him.


For some reason, Omega never had an inhibitor inside her head.


The team meets Rex on Bracca, a ship graveyard planet filled with old Republic ships and cruisers from the war. He plans to take them to the medical bay on a Republic cruiser in order to safely remove the Bad Batch’s inhibitor chips from their heads.


The planet is controlled by the Scrapler Guild, so the team and Rex need to avoid them.


Omega is worried that the surgery won’t work the same as it did on Rex, leaving her without her Bad Batch friends.


Hunter reassures Omega that they aren’t going anywhere and that it’s worth the risk.


Things get worse when Wrecker succumbs to the inhibitor chip and turns on his friends. They manage to subdue wrecker long enough to remove his chip.


The rest of the team gets their inhibitor chips removed, making sure that they can’t lose control again.

 

Rex then goes his separate way to fight for what’s left of the Republic, while the Bad Batch continue on their mission.


Meanwhile, the Scrapper Guild discovers the Bad Batch’s location and reports them to the Empire.

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...

Life and Persecution: Some so-called Catholics that should be excommunicated

(This article was originally published on January 20, 2018) The Roman Catholic Church has seen its share of good and bad times. Yet the Catholic Church has survived for over 2,000 years, from the persecution by the Roman Empire to the rise and fall of Communism.  Yesterday, January 19, young Catholic men and women across the United States joined tens of thousands of other young adults in the 45th March for Life. Even those who were unable to march continue to support the pro-life cause and live their Catholic faith everyday of their lives. All of these men and women—Catholics, Christians, and non-Christians alike—showed our country that there are plenty of Millennials stand up for the unborn and want to end legalized abortion in the United States. Catholics should be proud of their heritage as Catholics and to call themselves Catholic. They are part of the majority of lay people who really do their best to live and practice their Catholic faith. But ...
