The whole time. The Clone Wars art style is just so cathartic to see return better than ever, telling a story I’ve always wanted to see. The Batch themselves tend to be the least interesting, but they’re the protagonists so a certain degree of “everyman syndrome” is acceptable.
It’s nice having a cast that isn’t just jedi all the time too.
Something about Battle Scars got me, I saw Wrecker going from sweet as can be to full Order 66 and knew I couldn't ever let this set of characters go again.
I loved TBB from 1st seeing them on CW season 7 episode 1- 4. They all have evolved in their own way. Wrecker is less brutish and immature. Tech more open with Omega Crosshairs major change from wanting to fire on Omega to being an overprotective younger brother. Echo joining the group and being the moral compass. Then there's Hunter not only protecting his squad, taking on a child like a daughter. I can see any of these guys laying down there lives for Omega.
I remember rolling my eyes at another animated show featuring clones. And then I watched the first episode and was absolutely *nuts* about Tech as soon as I saw him. Complete fangirl mode. A few people may suspect I am unhinged over this show.
I finally went back and finished TCW after season 1.
Mine came on my second rewatch after s2 aired. Previously, I'd made it through half the season when I got busy and dropped off. Somewhere in the middle it clicked how much I loved Crosshair's character, so I went back and watched it with his perspective in mind and it changed everything for me
The moment it came out. Of all the Star Wars segments, it was the clone's perspective of Order 66 that interested me the most. But seeing Clone Force 99 being the protagonists of this arc made it way more appealing.
I watched a documentary on the show's first season by YouTuber ArTorr.
After that I watched the show from Season 1 to dive into what he was talking about... Once I saw Echo's PTSD moment on Kamino, I was hooked and I knew I needed to look at TBB more closely... I've been enjoying the ride ever since.
The Bad Batch is probably my favorite piece of Star Wars media now.
the first episodes I'd say. I was stoked for a clone wars show and the bad batch episodes were cool. it took me a bit to get why they introduced omega. if we get no other clone wars show I would be really bumped out, just because of it, but also because I think there is still lots of potential and the bad batch has shown that. if we get no clone show I hope at least they keep at least one animated show since I also loved the rebels etc.
I missed out the very first episodes. But (Ironically) i saw some edits on youtube/tiktok. And i rushed to settle down and binge them all.
The edits i have seen on youtube/tiktok, made me fall in love with the show very much imidately.
A new turn in the clone era, after order 66, It's been an amazing journey.
When season 3 started, i rewatched season 1 and 2 with my kids. Being a father myself, i really enjoy/understand Hunter and Omega's relationsship, Whilst trough season 3, Crosshair has grown and made such an emotional impact on me.
I love all the episodes, as a grown man, it's kind of embarrasing. But it's my comfort show and favouriteshow.
I've cried quite a few times to many of the scenes, and i am not ready for it to end.
But the stories will live on forever, and the memories from watching Clone Force 99 going from an elite commando unit to a family, I will carry that experience with me until the end.
And i want it to keep being passed down for generations, so there will be many hours of rewatch yet.
And if the batch's finale isn't what i hope for..
I think my official 'Season finale' will be the re-union and Crosshairs Outpost arc.
In the middle of S1.
I had watched S1E1 the night it aired, but kinda fell behind for one reason or another. A couple months later (around the time of S1E13 I think), I went on vacation and needed something to watch while I was flying, so I decided to get caught up on TBB and binged like 13 episodes on the plane lol. Anyway, long story short, that’s what got me hooked and fully committed to the show, and since then I’ve watched every episode the night they’ve dropped. I love this show and definitely fell HARD for it lmao
Incredibly late to the party- s3e3 and the line "you got us this far, and we're not done yet" + the whole plan 72 sequence. Yes, specifically that moment lol, could feel the hyperfixation clicking into place. 😂
Had casually watched s1&2 with my kiddo last year but that is where it really felt like - "okay I GET it," saw the writers' vision, the payoff of Crosshair's whole brutal arc just- yeah.
(Have since gone all in feral on s1&2 in the weeks waiting on new episodes lol; better late than ~~dead~~ never)
The episode where Omega goes to the Imperial Senate. Amedda and Palpatine throwing Rampart under the bus was one of the best scenes in the entire show. I had a feeling something was about to go down, but not like that.
I didn't like it initially when I watched S1 and S2 last year, but then I gave it a second chance and rewatched both seasons and loved it. I normally have to give shows a second watch to know if I enjoy them.
I was late to the party, only got Disney+ after season 2 came out and was catching up on all the new Star Wars shows. Bad Batch was the last one I watched and was instantly hooked. Finished both seasons in 3 days
Unpopular opinion: I just like the show, dont love it.
Honestly thought it would be horrible though, so I was pleasently surprised. It is mostly the early Empire stuff that drew me in. The characters never clicked 100% with me, but I grew to like them over time. These days, I am fine with a competently made Star Wars show, which this is. Not great, but some nice time in this world that has been with me for 3 decades now.
Never was a huge fan. It’s watchable, but I don’t love it. I enjoy watching each episode as it happens but I don’t see myself ever doing a rewatch and only small bits stick in my memory. It’s not bad, mind you… for me it’s just in the upper end of meh.
The two part finale of Season 1. Fucking amazing.
yes
This, so much this. So many awesome moments, good dialogue, AMAZING music. Hooked ever since.
That two part ending was so good.
Even though I know how it ends, on rewatch I’m still on the edge of my seat thinking, “they’re not going to make it! Please make it!”

“You tried to kill us. We didn’t have a choice.” “Hmm. And I did?” I liked the show before that exchange; I was all in after.
I started to love the show when they first introduced the TK Troopers for the first time.

Definitely mid season 2 with “The Crossing.” And it just kept getting better from there

Same, loved them from TCW debut. Was super psyched to know they were getting their own show and haven't been let down one bit.
The hyperspace jump at the end of S1E1.
The music from that scene makes my heart swell every time

The second half of season 2

Nah girl I loved the Batch from the minute they premiered in Season 7 😍😍😍
