Star Wars: The Bad Batch – The Clone Conspiracy

  • Title: Star Wars: The Bad Batch – The Clone Conspiracy
  • wiki: link

Not featuring a single regular character of the series, and set on Coruscant rather than in deep space, “The Clone Conspiracy” is an anomaly for the series in more ways than one. It also seems to answer the longest running question of the series by reintroducing the character of Senator Riyo Chuchi (Jennifer Hale) who is far to similar to Omega to not make note of, although why someone may have wanted a more human clone of the Senator is still unclear. In a storyline that demands better treatment of veterans, Riyo fights for the rights of decommissioned Clones as the Empire attempts to push through legislation of a new conscripted military force.

NCIS: Hawai’i – Misplaced Targets

  • Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Misplaced Targets
  • wiki: link

An explosion during the raid of a meth lab leads NCIS to uncover Kai (Alex Tarrant) was the target of his old frenemy A.J. Hale (Jonah Ho’okano) who later baits the agent into an assault in his father’s restaurant. Unable to pin anything on A.J., NCIS squeezes his wife (Diana Lu), although in the frenzy afterwards Kai makes a discovery that will change his views of the criminal he’s spent the past several months attempting to take down. The conclusion of the A.J. story is notable, however, it’s the return of another cast member that provides several of the episode’s best moments.

Will Trent – The Look Out

  • Title: Will Trent – The Look Out
  • IMDb: link

Betting a local cop he can solve a robbery homicide in a single night gets Trent (Ramón Rodríguez) into a jam when the obvious explanation, a gang of thieves making just these kinds of robberies in the same neighborhood, turns out not to be responsible. Showcasing a bit of our detective’s ego, “The Look Out” is a fun episode even if the return of the Angie (Erika Christensen) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) B-story crime turns out to be pretty forgettable. The episode also offers another example of how his on-again/off-again relationship with Angie prevents him from considering other options such as an artist (Julia Chan) turned suspect who he put in jail (but that didn’t stop her from flirting with him throughout the episode).
