The Bad Batch season one is in the books and I give my reactions (plural) to the two-part finale. Like the season as a whole, I struggled with connecting these new characters to the wider Star Wars story. But with that concern out of the way, I was able on rewatch to focus on and appreciate the characters themselves. With her "home" of Tapioca City destroyed, Omega's courageous journey of compassion and charity is just opening up.
In lieu of the Pull List, I express my utter glee at today's breaking news about Charles Soule's new Crimson Reign comic run (https://www.ign.com/articles/exclusive-first-details-star-wars-crimson-reign-comic-series-solo-qira-emilia-clarke), as well as my excitement from yesterday's gripping Star Wars: Visions trailer. I highly recommend you watch the Japanese version with English subtitles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lle0NNmvIyU).
Thanks for listening, and MTFBWY!

Episode LXXXIV - The TVA and Loki's True Self
Jonathan Majors' "Kang who Remains" may be eating the apple, but the institutions we all live under have their limits and try to exceed them. Kang's reasons for creating the TVA got me thinking of the Social Contract Tradition and its supposed "state of nature"-how it relates to and contrasts with the Scriptural narrative of Creation, Fall and Redemption on a Personal-Is-Political scale.
For the Pull List I discuss the non-linear storytelling of War of the Bounty Hunters and what it might be setting up.
Thanks for listening, and MTFBWY.

Back in Ontario but still at a lake, I'm joined by some friends for a fully-vaccinated and fully-clothed look at the High Republic and its third wave announced at SDCC@home. Lending their voices and perspectives are Din of F-105, Dominic of the Star Wars Underworld and Patrick of Beskar Guitar, as well as the wonderful bustle of Kew Beach in Toronto.
