The rule of 2 is forsaken. It was a bad idea to begin with, if the sith ever wanted to have a chance against a jedi ruled galaxy.
Its a rule long forgotten by the Legacy era.

Christopher- I like the idea of having Ahsoka turn to the dark side. She does seem to have many of those tendencies, such as seeking revenge. Perhaps even have Anakin be forced to destroy her. 
Answered my own question. Sorry.
I wonder if Cad Bane will ever team up with his brother.

Reminds me, the season premiere episodes had Cad Bane talking to Nute Gunray, and during the making of Episode 1, Lucas said that Bane's species (Duro) and the Nemoidians were the same...before someone talked him out of it.
I don't know if it was intentional, but there was something kind of sick with having Anakin try to save the Jedi children, considering he cuts them up to pieces later on.
First off, why would you assume this season will be the last one? I seem to recall hearing that they're already talking about a third season.
Second, the kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine (he's not the emperor yet) was already depicted in the earlier Clone Wars 2D animated series from Genndy Tartakovsky; the final episode of that series led directly into the opening scenes of Revenge of the Sith. I'm still unclear on how Clone Wars and The Clone Wars fit together continuity-wise, but I'd be very surprised if they covered the exact same event as the finale of both series.
^ Season three was already confirmed and is under development. There are 100 total episodes of the series planned by LucasFilm.
LucasFilm says they view the earlier cartoon as being the pilot for this series; however, Leland Chee also said that George Lucas has told the writers they can override some of the events in the cartoon if needed.

Even if that's so, I'd be surprised if they retold the same story as their finale -- not from a continuity standpoint, but simply from the standpoint of not being repetitive. Why do something that an earlier series has already done? A series finale is a big event -- if it were my series, I sure as hell wouldn't settle for "Let's do the same thing for our finale that the last show did, but in a different way." I'd say "Let's do something totally different and original and surprising."
Depends how much they want to rewrite the chronology of the Clone Wars, though. While the new series can explore and cover different ground than the original cartoon - with the 22 minute episodes and Anakin's new padawan, etc. - there are still a couple of big events in the Clone Wars, such as Grevious's capture of the Emperor.
Since this is a quasi-remake, it'd make sense for them to revisit some of the same material, just as much as the new Galactica redid finding Kobol and the Pegasus. We already know there are a couple of differences - Grevious already has his hacking cough, while in the earlier cartoon it was something he gained during the finale. And so on.
If one had wanted a series that did something new and original and different and didn't step on Tarkovsky's toes at all, well, something other than the Clone Wars (or at least the Clone Wars from the perspective of new characters) would have been the sort of show to do.
It's not called the Clone WarS for nothing. This is a conflict spanning the whole galaxy. Who says the abduction of Palpatine is the only major event that was happening just before RotS? There could be plenty of other big stuff to cover. For that matter, why assume that SW:TCW has to end at that exact moment? That isn't the end of the Clone Wars per se; the Wars don't end until the end of RotS. Therefore, the end of the TV series won't be the actual conclusion of the war. So given that, there's plenty of flexibility in terms of when it actually does end. It doesn't have to lead directly into the Battle of Coruscant. It could end at some point that's prior to that but which brings the show's own ongoing arcs -- Ahsoka, Cad Bane, Yularen, and the like -- to definite closure and ends with a foreshadowing of what lies ahead for Anakin, Palpatine, and the like.
The idea of Ashoka going dark would be cool. In the Republic comics at least, if I recall there were several Jedi that went dark, the most prominent probably being Sora Bul'q. So there is a precedent for other dark Jedi joining up with the Separatists.
As for Sith, well, they retconned Vergere to be a Sith initiate/apprentice to Palpatine sometime before the Clone Wars in the Legacy of the Force series and they've played around the Rule of Two, with characters like Starkiller in The Force Unleashed game, who was everything but a Sith in name only.

One can be a dark sider without being Sith.
The Sith were a race of dark force users. Its the Sith WAY that makes one Sith. Dark siders do not have to follow a specific path. Just as light siders are not always Jedi.

I wanna see Mace Windu kick Obi-Wan's ass for the flippant comments he makes.
"You've stepped in it this time!"
"I'll step in your mutha#!$%ing ass if you keep talking that shit!"

First off, it was the Clone Troopers who killed the Jedi. It wouldn't have been Anakin's call. Second -- the guy murdered a large number of children. If he was far enough gone to do that, I can't believe he'd retain any sentiment for Ahsoka.
