Having failed to see any threads regarding the latest episode of Clone Wars, I thought I'd start one (sorry, no poll this time).
I thought that it was another good installment of the series which broadened the storyline and characters a bit, specifically General Greivous, and Kit Fisto, a Jedi character we saw only briefly during the last two movies (and the Clone Wars "microseries") but who, like so many others, was never given a voice or characterization. It was also neat to see a Mon Cal Jedi.
The most interesting aspects of the episode to me were the tension shown between Grievous and Dooku (apparently, we're NOT the only ones concerned about Grievous' many failures so far), as well as how some of the "modern" Jedi seem to be changing for the worse (becoming more arrogant-as alluded to in Episode II by Yoda).
As for the actual plotline, it picks up following the previous storyline of the Jedi, led by Kit Fisto, trying to recapture Nute Gunray who, of course, escaped from Republic custody during the previous episode. They follow the cruiser's shuttle beacon right into Greivous' lair where they discover that the beacon was a ruse and Dooku springs his trap/test on both the Jedi Kit Fisto and his former padawan, as well as Greivous. From the very outset I pretty much figured that Nadar (the Mon Cal Jedi) was probably going to fall to Greivous. It was foolish of him to think that he could take Grievous (alone) but, as Kit Fisto correctly points out the war may be changing the Jedi Order, particularly the younger ones, irrevocably for the worst. Grievous doesn't get off the hook particularly easy, however, getting seriously damaged by the Jedi and their clones during their first encounter before striking back and even in the end he fails to substantially impress Dooku with his kills of Nadar and the clones. It will be interesting to see how this affects Grievous' efforts against the Jedi in future episodes.
Other thoughts or opinions?
