The Price of Blind Loyalty 

“When have we ever followed orders?” -Tech

I’m not done watching bad batch so I don’t get it

^ who gonna tell him?

Wonder how this quote will take in a wedding speech… 🫣

But there were many other clones who confronted Krell and none of them had problems with their chips.

@@lennonkelly-james2693 true but theirs didn’t malfunction. Tup makes a few comments during this episode that foreshadow his chip malfunctioning. I watched it the other day. It’s in there.

@@mkhud50n Like what?

@@lennonkelly-james2693 when they all decide to go after Krell he has the most zeal for killing him. He feels very betrayed. But he also is conditioned to follow order like Dogma. This problem sets off the cognitive dissonance he has about the Jedi which makes him snap. Either that or he shared a contaminated canteen which made the chip malfunction;)

@@mkhud50n Maybe, I just don't think personal experience affects the chip because that'd be a terribly design flaw.

That's a very good theory. I like it. It makes a lot of sense.

The Kaminoans may have been worried by the individuality of the earlier generations and doubled down on the obedience.

@@TEMac-vx4crthat would make a lot of sense. The Kaminoans were obsessed with perfection; they likely continued to improve the clone training regiment as well as the clones’ genetic code and inhibitor chips leading up to and throughout the Clone Wars.

Especially The Laughing Salesman

It's nice of you to stand up for yourself. Trust me, it takes a lot of courage to do something like that and not everyone can just do that. I'm sure the people who you turned on definitely understood and helped you throughout your life. You should be proud of yourself for moving on. It's never too late to move on.

@@huynhvuongviet2410 Sadly, for some people it was too late. And I held out hope that with time things might get better if I distanced myself. My parents brought me into this world but as far as I'm concerned, they're not my parents. My grandparents, my grandfather in particular (who's not even blood related) are my real parents. They took me from that hell, even after I had turned on them. I'd be dead if they hadn't come and got me that day.

@@MrJakeros still glad you made it out though. Be proud of yourself.

I think he was just clinging to purpose. Any purpose that lets him do what he’s best at. As a soldier, he didn’t see any other purpose for himself beyond that once the war ended. But gradually he realized the Empire wasn’t the answer either. Mayday’s death was the last straw for him.

It's ego. He knows he's the best shot in the GAR and had accomplished things the regs and the new conscript/volunteers could never match. So he believes if he keeps demonstrating his superiority (by killing lots of their enemies without compunction) eventually the Empire HAS to recognize his value. Except he soon gets his face shoved into the fact that they REALLY don't. If you can just bombard your enemies into rubble from orbit with a Star Destroyer, or put an inferior trooper on every (important) streetcorner to cow most civilians - why do you need him in particular? He finally "got it" in "The Outpost". His superiors just didn't care and he couldn't make them care, no matter how good he was.

Because people do shit like that every day.

Well, Crosshair was probably doing just fine until he shot down his entire squad in S1 finale. To the Empire, I imagine, that was an odd case, definitely treasonous, and yet he still claimed loyalty to the Empire. So they “forgave” him, but kept him at arms length. And when Cody defected after his mission with Crosshair, the Empire probably decided that Crosshair was no more an asset to the Empire than all the clones soon would be. So he became yet another outdated piece of equipment, soon to be phased out.

He does it on porpoise ;)

Or "erotic behavior" instead of "erratic behavior".

The editor noticed.

A Freudian slip from the guy who brings up his dislike of dolphins enough that it achieved meme status on this channel.

Well, it's Disney Star Wars so we can only expect shit from it.

I have to disagree. She told everyone except poe, and cause poes our Pov we didn't know either. The flight crew had to have a destination, the transport pilots knew where they were going, the technicians had to get the cloaking devices ready, crew was extremely calm during the evacuation of the ship. Everyone but poes crew knew cause the only thing holdo knew about poe was he disobeyed direct orders from his commanders, got their entire bomber fleet killed for a glory kill when those bombers could have been used on vital targets like ship yards, amd endangered the first evacuation for personal glory. Amd his first act when he(a demoted officer who just did all that) wasn't told the plan was to insult her and yell at her and then mutiny. She told everyone but poe the plan cause he gave every reason that he couldn't be responsible and fight a war on a larger front instead of a single battle.

@@clayrodriguez_author i disagree. telling Po would at the very least assured him they at least had a plan and wouldn't have led to a revolut.

@@clayrodriguez_authorbombers wouldn’t have done anything if they approached a target they would be ready for the resistance as they were travelling mostly in a straight line

Those bombers were horrible and were death traps anyway. They were limited to the speed of handicapped snails and maneuvered like an arthritic whale on a beach. They were nothing but targets for the enemy and almost useless. The fault lies with whoever bought them and the designers as much as with Poe's refusal to back off.

Eyes on the ground are much more important than those on a screen

Sure I'll check it out

did he have four arms???

@@tyrionlannister4920 lol no more like his Tactics. Are similar

Sounds like the ones I've met too.

@AlexanderCheff ya I was in a school shooter drill an I was in my ABUs an we had a kitchen in our classroom we had knives and forks an she told me to stand fast an defend the room she was FUBAR

Rex probably wouldn't have shot him (at least not before Krell starts actively resisting capture), his gun is at the ready in order to prevent the evasion of capture. And no matter how open and shut a case might be, its vital that the proses be followed. No one should be the sole decider of life and death, because what if that person was wrong? Or was lying? judge, jury, executioner need to all be separate people with opportunities for appeal and a chance for the accused to defend themselves in a court of law. As much as justice can be perverted in this manner it is preferable than to allow any person or group unilateral to have the ability to kill someone when they feel like it. no matter how justified those feeling are.

This point has always bugged me.
