3 Body Problem - The Stars Our Destination

“The Stars Our Destination” is primarily a transitionary episode featuring the characters dealing with the fallout of the aliens’ eye in the sky message. For most of the characters that means getting drunk and ignoring the situation. In Will’s (Alex Sharp) case that means struggling with a romantic gesture. Challenged by Wade (Liam Cunningham), Jin (Jess Hong) comes up with a complicated plan which will largely take over the series in the remaining episodes, but if she has any hope of making her plan work, she’ll need Auggie (Eiza González).

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Juggernaut

“Juggernaut” is a bit of a disappointment. The scenes of Omega (Michelle Ang) and her return to Tantiss are all filler when the final scene of her being escorted into the vault could easily have been the first. We get a reunion with Emerie Karr (Keisha Castle-Hughes) that doesn’t actually provide any on-screen furthering of the story or their relationship, and if you skipped the episode you wouldn’t miss a single beat of Omega’s storyline. If you need to stretch out Omega’s storyline to give the Batch time to find her, at least give her something to do.
