It is. We saw Cody and then we didn't anymore.
My money is still on Cody. Either way, the reveal will hurt.
And fuck, Echo and Hunter executed that plan so damn close. Fuck.

What? Is there some spoiler going around on this? Or in some interview? Either way. I don't wanna know.
Nice tightly wound and tense episode.
The part when the droids were getting sucked aboard the shuttle was hilarious.
And the wide-angle shot of the approach to the space station, reused for the departure, was magnificent. Using high contrast lighting for space shots involving sun-lit objects really adds to their realism.

My money is still on there not being anything to reveal. He's just a reg clone assassin.
All other reasoning aside; it just feels far too late to be engaging in that kind of overwrought melodrama. Just as it was with Marrok, this is mostly just fans fixating of something that isn't meant to be fixated on.
no spoiler, just speculation based of what known clones we don't know the fates of.
Cool..
Id say theyll double episode again next week to finish it off.
Then.. who knows

They already announced the release dates of all of the episodes either right after the season started or before.
Next week is episode 14 Flash Strike, and then May 1 is 15 and the series finale, The Cavalry Has Arrived.
This was another great episode.
Well, Omega definitely didn't waste any time working on getting herself and the other kids out of there.
For a moment there I thought the weren't going to get the shuttle clamped to the ship heading to Tantiss in time and Tech would end up there by himself.
I was a little shocked that Rampart actually didn't betray The Batch, I had expected him to try to use turning them in as a way to get back on The Empire's good side.

Nah, I think that no matter what happens, the best Rampart can hope for is to be thrown back into the labor camp. If the Empire decides that he is a loose end who knows too much? He'd be much better off in prison.
Omega atarting to be like Ezra.. caught again? No problem.
I see where you're coming from and I was strictly in the "Marrok was a nobody" camp, but I feel like there's some basis here. The assassin's arrival in the show feels timely and such a reveal would actually hit hard thematically and devastate our characters (whereas such a reveal for Marrock was always going to be meaningless). Plus, as noted already, Cody appeared in the show...and then nothing. We still don't know his fate and this feels like the time to reveal it.

The main reason I'm attached to the Cody theory is because of a Rebels episode where Rex wakes from a nightmare screaming Cody's name. Which, I figure making Cody the assassin could be a great way to explain that. Yes, I know it's just as likely he could be Tech or nobody at all, but until proven otherwise, I'll think of him as Cody.
Well, some people thought Marrok was Barriss... and he turned out to be someone who worked with Barriss?
That was the one theory that would've made sense considering her connection with Ahsoka, but I'm ultimately glad they didn't do that since there wasn't much room for such a reveal, especially since much of Ahsoka was a Rebels sequel.Well, some people thought Marrok was Barriss... and he turned out to be someone who worked with Barriss?
I don't think it's Cody for the precise reason that he's only appeared the once. This show (just like all of the previous shows) has to cater to first time viewers first and foremost. While revealing that the assassin was Cody all along might mean something to long time TCW viewers (honestly, even then it would still feel cheap); it'd mean very little if anything to those for whom 'The Bad Batch' has been their entry point. Most probably barely remember him at this point as he's just one of half a dozen named regs to have shown up across three seasons.
As for the Tech side of things: as I've already said, it's a little late in the narrative to be pulling that kind of crap, and really what purpose would it even serve beyond the cheap shock value? That doesn't feel like something this creative team have ever really gone in for.
CX-2 isn't the Darth Vader of this story. He's the Rukh. A physical nemesis to counterpoint the cerebral antagonist that is Hemlock. He's mostly there as something for Wrecker to headbutt on their way to the finale. Probably in an upgraded suit. Probably with half a dozen more just like him. Doesn't really matter.
At most he's a shadow of what the Batch could have become; what the Empire would have turned them into if they had their way.
Ooh, good thought!
Oops yeah, I keep getting those two confused.
