Groggy Crosshair (S2 E12)
Mayday was beautiful, wasn’t he?
Spoilers for The Bad Batch Season 2 Episode 12 under the cut
This episode was so heartbreaking in so many ways
Crosshair - a man who was used to kinda just do whatever he wanted with his brothers - got told off for not wearing his helmet. And then was told he was "used equipment"
Crosshair, taking a small break to remember his own name when Mayday asks him, because by now he's so used to only being a number and nothing more
Crosshair crawling through snow and digging out Mayday (who lets be honest, was probably the first person to treat him like a living being in forever) and carrying him with him to what should be safety. Even after Mayday told him to leave him, because he was nothing but "dead weight"
Them cuddling together in the shelter of a rock, waiting for the storm to calm down so they can move. Crosshair using his rifle to hold them both in place and then letting Mayday use it as cane to help him walking
And when they finally reached the base, when they finally was at what should've been safety
They were told off for failing the mission on retrieving that shitty equipment
The stormtroopers there looked like they wanted to disobey orders, because they could obviously tell these men needed help, but couldn't risk it
And Crosshair
Crosshair who is usually so headstrong, who pushed away a man who tried to help him after getting burnt by the ion engine - that very same Crosshair
Was on his knees, tired and definitely suffering from frostbite, gasping for air and begging for his brother to be saved.
He was BEGGING
Something that is so out of character for this man, but at this point he is so broken, so tired, so desperate he was willing to throw everything that defined him away just for this one person who treated him with dignity
Just be told that that man wasn't a person at all, but a tool to be used, just as Crosshair is and when it breaks, why repair it when you can get something new instead
The amount of physical, emotional and mental abuse Crosshair has had to face. Holy fuck it broke my heart. I don't like the man, but he deserves better
He deserves a hug and a warm meal and to be told that he matters
Okay I've had some time to digest the new episode
SPOILERS FOR S2E12 UNDER THE CUT
Okay SO
Oh my God, the amount of emotions we get from Crosshair this episode is literally INSANE
The hesitation that Crosshair shows at the clone asking for his name speaks volumes. Impeccable story telling right there
The way he just says "they're gone" when Mayday asks about CF99 killed me a little inside
The way that he immediately goes to rescue Mayday after the avalanche is PEAK clone loyalty. Crosshair bonded with Mayday immediately and did everything he could to save his new friend. After the dead weight conversation too.
At the end when he shot that bitch ass lieutenant I was so scared it was gonna end on a cliffhanger of us not knowing if Crosshair was going to die or not but that final scene was absolutely terrifying.
All in all, absolutely AMAZING episode. I am in awe of it, I'm sure there are things that I'm missing but holy shit im still so worked up over it
And finally, theories going forward:
I think that Dr Hemlock and Lama Su are going to use Crosshair as bait to get the batch to come to them. And they will. They aren't going to make the same mistake twice of leaving their brother behind but its going to play right into the empires hands
Nala Se is going to sacrifice herself to free Omega and the batch. But that's just a theory A GAME THE-
SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP KDJSHNGKSLHJglk,jfklh;ldf
It is a legal requirement for people to tag me in icons and gif sets of Crosshair from the new episode sorry I dont make the rules but I sure as fuck enjoy enforcing them
I’m in paaaaiiiiinnn
(mini bad batch freak out regarding the newest episode, but no spoilers of course <3)
OKAY MR FILONI, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A FUCKING TALK.
THIS LITTLE RANT WILL NOT CONTAIN SPOILERS DONT WORRY GUYS, I JUST NEED TO GET THIS OUTTA MY SYSTEM CAUSE I HAVE ENERGY. THAT EPISODE WAS SO GOOD, GENUINELY HAD ME ON EDGE THE ENTIRE TIME. NOW I AM SPINNING IN MY CHAIR, I AM FLAPPING MY HANDS, I AM ANXIOUS AND EXILLERATED, AND ABOVE ALL ELSE, I AM SO HYPED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE OF SEASON 2.
THE ENDING LEFT ME GAPING LIKE A DAMN FISH, AND THE ENTIRE EPISODE ITSELF?? OH LAWDY, THE PACING, THE STORY, THE CHARACTERS, THE CONFLICT, THE EMOTIONS-
IT HAD SUCH A SATISFYING MOMENT NEAR THE END THAT GENUINELY HAD ME YELLING IN GLEE. THERE WERE MANY SEGMENTS DURING THAT HAD ME ANXIOUSLY FIDDLING WITH MY FINGERS AND MUTTERING CURSES UNDER MY BREATH.
MY FULL RESPECT AND LOVE TO DAVE FILONI, YOU ARE AN ABSOLOUTE MAD MAN AND I AM GOING TO START THROWING THINGS. /POS
Yea no I’m NOT okay after that episode
let me just just start us all off today by saying
mixed emotions rn.. most of those emotions are just different versions of SAD but they’re mixed nonetheless
im sick as fuck and this is NOT HELPING.
I'M- I..- I LITERALLY CANNOT FIND THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS EPISODE
crosshair's inner conflict is so visible in this episode it HURTS. the way he didn't leave mayday behind and carried him all the way back to the outpost, GUYS OH MY GOHD THE WAY THEY HUDDLED TOGETHER TO SURVIVE THE NIGHT-
the PAIN in his voice when he said "you could've saved him" i just- i don't know im sobbing so hard.
he's fucking ANGRY as it his right
AND LIEUTENANT ASSHOLE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED, CROSSHAIR BABY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
what are they gonna do to him. WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO TO HIM WHY IS MY BOY IN YOUR LAB WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM
TBB S2E12 SPOILERS
“What are you doing just standing around?”
Oooooo, buddy im gonna
Let him have his memorial
as he fucking should
Hey @mrs-grumpysniper did we both just watch the same thing? Are you ok? How are you doing? Me personally, I am sobbing as I type this and hope all this is spelled correctly.
Going to take an hour and a half nap while I wait for the episode, hopefully the alarm wakes me up because I am so excited yet so exhausted. Whatever this illness is it's kicking my butt.
Come on @superiorsniper do a Saut de Basque for me you could be the Sugar plum prince in the nutcracker this year!
crosshair has such a ballet dancer body like i know that man can hold an arabesque like you wouldn’t believe
everyone CALM DOWN I manifested Crosshair returning to his brothers and sister safely and happy. And if I manifested it then everything is ok :) I hope
Y'all I am so sorry I have been so not here. Ever since I posted that post after the last The Bad Batch episode saying I felt sick after that ep. I still don't feel great I probably won't be back regularly for a few more days (I will be back for a little bit after watching this weeks episode if I feel relatively ok). much love, xo
Maybe that's why he was putting his helmet on? my poor baby
Look at Crosshair's face in each one of these
Is it just me, or does he look like he's on the verge of crying here?
(maybe it's just me, but please tell if you see it too)
🥺🥺🥺
I can't do this y'all

Even worse, Mine took a picture. Messy hair, hoodie, and dressing dripping oof the taco! 😭 He also giggled
Some people have the fortune of their love interests casually looking at them when they're relaxed, or at a good angle, or smiling, or laughing, or just doing something endearing like playing with their hair or curling their lip while they're focusing.
Me? I have the fortune of my love interest looking at me when I'm snaking a bite out of a very big muffin in the most unladylike manner.
He giggled, tho.
Not shocking at all, you're handsome (HOT)
Wrecker: This is my brother! Don't worry, he doesn't bite! :D
The brother in question:
They pulled out the stops with this image, and it's not good.
We are shown Omega sitting in wide-eyed innocence in her little room on the ship. She is unarmed, with a doll on her lap and a ball nearby, propped up on the cushioning Wrecker installed for her comfort. This is her safe and happy life on the Marauder, and it is very likely the opposite of what the writers have planned for her.
If you think those dark circles under Hunter's eyes are bad now, just imagine how he will look once the Empire has Omega.
I have a guess for the last two episodes of the season. I think taking Omega will be the last straw in The Bad Batch's relative passivity toward engaging the Empire, and EVERYONE will be part of the mission to get her back. Getting to "The Summit" of Mount Tantiss to rescue her (and possibly Nala Se) might just be the "Plan 99" we are all wondering about.
Aw Get well soon. May I gift you Some black and red roses ❤️
Y'all I think I'm getting sick from the lack of Crosshair, I feel a fever coming on and I feel so nauseous. Please I need Crosshair
right from the get go already looks like cliché horror film intro (this initially made me dislike the ep, mainly bc we have too many bad horror films playing at the cinema where I work rn, but dw I came around)
the music was actually chillingly different than usually and continued into the scene in which Dr. Hamlock was introduced. I liked that, but in a bad way
the closeup on his hand confirms that the Zillo Beast ate it, no this is not up for discussion, Zillo Beast had himself a treat
I'm kinda coming around on Nala Se, ngl
Also for as uneasy Dr. Hamlock makes me, I feel like we're finally getting a high-quality villain on TBB and I'm here for it
BAD BATCH TELLING CID OFF BAD BATCH TELLING CID OFF BAD BATCH TELLING CID OFF
HUNTER WANTING TO CUT CID OFF HUNTER WANTING TO CUT CID OFF HUNTER WANTING TO CUT CID OFF
Cid, being a huge dick:
Me:🤨🤨🖕🖕🖕
I like watching Wrecker show off how smart he is. He knows all the weapons and how to use 'em. Yes. :D.
"Whatever did this wasn't human." <- I find that an interesting sentence, considering this is Star Wars. If this was a show that took place on earth, somewhere where it was unlikely for an animal to be, that line would've been chilling. In Star Wars? Not so much. Humans are only one of many species in that galaxy and while I do believe that clones = humans, via star wars lore, that doesn't apply. Clones are classified as their own species, meaning technically they aren't human. I'm probably over thinking this but whatever, the line struck me as oddly placed
"By yourself?" "Your concern is not warranted. I will be fine." <- ok, Tech ik you got the whole cool, logical, I-know-what-I'm-doing-vibe going on, but I gotta tell you, the person who says that in horror films dies first.
OFC THE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT IS KAMINOAN FCK
everytime tech checked what's going on in the hallway I yelled "nO" at him. and then he did it anyway. rude.
The second we first saw it I realised it was the Zillo. I've been wondering when/if it would ever come up again, since the Chancellor did order for it to be cloned when the og episodes aired and then we never saw it again, so the arc felt incomplete.
BUT I LOVED THE ZILLO BEAST ARC SO THIS MADE ME V HAPPY AND V SCARED AND I KNOW IT'S NOT CANON BUT CAN THE ZILLO BEAST PLS GO EAT PALPATINE NOW??? IT DESERVES A TREAT!!!!
Hunter grabbing Omega to protect her from the beast 🥺
Tech's slow "Fascinating." followed by his "Take cover."???? sir u already had me, u didn't need to go harder
Wrecker grabbing Omega to protect her from the explosion🥺
Tech casually causing the explosion
"It ate the crew?" MY POOR BABY
"I can help. I know my way around Kaminoan tech." hmmm omega tryna stay out of the fight? she scared? hmmm Tech whatcha do???
Omega being better with Kaminoan tech than Tech and him just going with it and trusting her expertise. Yes. :D
idk where the "Zillo Beast feeds on energy" thing came from bc that wasn't part of the original arc and kinda threw me off, but alright, they needed a reason for it to grow real fast, I'll take it
they're already fighting the beast and then the empire shows up hhhhhhhh whyyyyyyy
omega just casually pulling the plug on tech's research, I love her
Tech grabbing Omega to protect her from the explosion 2.0 🥺
yes, hello, I'd like to inform you all again that I hate the empire, thank you
Tech allowing Hunter to keep flying even though he is the designated pilot and clearly very skilled. Just shows how much he trusts his leader and brother to keep them save. Love that :))
When the Commandos began rounding up the villagers I immediately knew what it meant and GAH HONSLTY WHY ARE THEY LIKE THIS
The Empire only destroyed Kamino to control cloning, not to end it, hm? surprise surprise (these fcking motherfckers i swear)
"Send the data to Echo and Rex. See what they can find out."
....
........
............
YES HUNTER YES SEND THEM THE DATA YES GO WORK WITH ECHO AND REX AND SAVE THE GALAXY YES LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
end of the ep confirms yet again that Dr. Hamlock is a bag of dicks :)
Prime Minister said f you and I'm here for it
and then he brought up Omega and I was not here for it anymore
finally the music during the last shot makes me think that this facility is going to come up again and it will likely be very traumatic and horrible and terrible and um ya. sucks man.
gonna tag @jealous-sloth77 and @saturn-sends-hugs bc I'd love to see their thoughts too :))
But serious though. I still have a raging migraine @superiorsniper please come back our health requires it. We miss you, Handsome😭
Y'all I think I'm getting sick from the lack of Crosshair, I feel a fever coming on and I feel so nauseous. Please I need Crosshair
