Hell, maybe he got picked up by one of his sisters.
Other than Omega, the only clone sister we know is Emerie Karr, who would've had no reason to be at the Imperial summit.
Maybe Phee followed them and rescued him.
Okay, that's a plausible suggestion. It'd take some doing to justify what she was doing down in that canyon, but having her tag along to keep an eye on the Batch would make sense as a payoff to her unresolved parting with Tech in Part 1.
Also, I'm not straight up arguing that Tech lived. I'm just in favor of waiting for S3 before we draw any conclusions one way or another. Let's see how they play this before we grieve.
Obviously. Which is why I said "If it's a fakeout, it's a successful one."
On the other hand, I sometimes think audiences tend to get too meta about gaming possible ways out in their heads and thus don't allow themselves to experience the immediate emotion that stories are meant to evoke. The future is unpredictable, yes, but the goal of fiction is to immerse us in the moment -- and to generate empathy for what the characters are going through. We may know all the tricks that fiction pulls to bring people back from the dead, but to the characters, Tech's death is real and tragic, and if we're just keeping a smug distance and patting ourselves on the back over how smart we are about writers' tricks, then we aren't letting ourselves engage emotionally with what the characters are going through, and we're not letting ourselves experience the intended impact of the story. We
should let ourselves feel sadness at Tech's evident death, the same sadness that his friends feel. That way, if he does somehow come back, we can feel surprise, joy, and relief along with them.
Tech's death was also a huge shock. As much as I'd love to see him come back, it would of feel like to much of a cop out to have him miraculously survive.
This is also a good point. Death in fiction should have weight. The problem with the overuse of fakeout deaths and resurrections as plot devices is that it leads to the very reaction seen above, a tendency for the audience to
assume any death is reversible, which robs it of its impact. I'm upset that they killed my favorite character, but death
should upset us. It
should leave us feeling cheated and deprived. That's what it does in real life, and it's a copout if fiction always spares us from it.
This show is a war story, after all. Wars have a steep cost.
Well, any chance they might have had to repair there relationship to Cid is shot.
I think that was already the case weeks ago.
I was a little surprised they even went back to her, you'd think Pabu would have a doctor they could have gone too, or that Phee would have known about some trustworthy, or at least easily paid off, underworld doctor they could have gone too.
I figure they went to AZI-3 because he's the only surviving Kaminoan staffer they know of, and thus the one most qualified to treat clones. Though what I don't get is why they didn't try to contact AZ in secret without bringing Cid in on it, or why they didn't at least have their guard up around Cid.
I know some people had expected Hemlock's assistant to be another Jango clone, but I did not.
The accent
shouldn't have been a clue -- why would that be genetic? -- yet somehow it was.
