This bad batch season so far has been full of great character moments and building up relationships but I think I was expecting less filler for the final season of a show I love so dearly. When we get episodes like the most recent with Fennec, Hunter, and Wrecker going on a little side quest to get a praying mantis instead of actively fighting against the empire and engaging in tension filled moments I feel a bit let down.

Don’t get me wrong I’m loving the season it just seems to be ramping down for no apparent reason other than “we ran out of ideas to make the empire a threat AND build character.”

Maybe I’m crazy but I expect more from the man that wrote the siege of mandalore arc for clone wars. Dave Filoni is the leader of my cult and I would never insult him but cmon cowboy hat man, gimme something that will put me on the edge of my seat for 30 full minutes and leave me in shambles.

I like to think if Dick Grayson competed in the Olympics villains like the Riddler who know his identity would so conflicted about who to root for.

Announcer: And now up, the pride of the U.S gymnastics team! RICHARD GRAYSON!!!

Riddler at home on the couch wringing his hands: I love my country but that boy has broken my nose six times. I should call Bruce and congratulate him anyway this is big for Gotham.

Because I was now a man, I could not speak about what it was like to be a woman. Because I had been a woman, I could never really speak about what it was like to be a man. Do the math: I could not speak. It was a double erasure, a double bind, in which every experience I had was false, and so nothing I said was credible. I could no longer derive authority from my experiences before transition, and shouldn’t even cite them — I had never “really” been a woman, so those things hadn’t happened — but those experiences could always be weaponized against me to prove I wasn’t “really” the man I claimed to be. They call it erasure, when this happens. I wasn’t prepared for how literal the term was. Every day, I could feel myself disappear.
