I was really disappointed that a lame character like Savage Opress killed Master Adi Gallia. She's died twice now (thrice, if you count her doppelgänger in Revenge of the Sith) so choose your own ending!

The pacing of the episode just felt completely rushed to me. And I'm not liking Maul's voice. It bothers me more and more as he speaks. The whole master-apprentice thing felt random and forced. The action started off very well but got lame towards the end.
Just bring me Rex, Fives and Commander Wolffe. Though, as an aside, I would love for Mace Windu to get some more action. He's such a badass and has such a solid voice actor. They are dropping opportunities here.

Episode S5.02 "A War On Two Fronts"....
Now this was more like it for me. Didn't care for last week's season opener...more of Maul and his brother's antics. It's an idea (bringing Maul back from the dead) that ran out of steam before it started for me and I hope it wraps soon...unlikely though, since we see Maul twirl his invisible mustache and exit stage left to return again later when the writers get lazy and want to play another round of "Wouldn't it be cool if..."
But this week's entry was terrific...22 minutes of packed story that moved the saga of the CW closer to what we saw in ROTS. The Jedi are further compromised from their ideals as the war drags on, the relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan grows more strained and Ashoka continues to develop into a character that actually contributes more to the ongoing story than just plucky sidekick/cute girl power. If one pays attention here, glimmers of where her character may be headed in the overall saga are starting to show...and what a cool choice it could be for her. Like Assaj Ventress in Season 4, Ashoka is really turning out to be more that just a one-note character...and it makes her appearances interesting instead of irritating.
I'm also impressed with the jump in production quality this episode represented, Visually, the environments and backgrounds are more detailed and lush then ever, and while there was a lot of previously used assets with the flora and animal life on this planet (lots of Naboo-related beasts, from Fambaas to Falumpasets), it was integrated in a way that really upped the production...really beautiful to look at.
The character animation is just getting better too....the characters are "acting" as much with subtle expressions and movements as they do through dialog, from Anakin's Vader-like body language, to the meaningful glances between characters, it's come a long way from the static, limited expressions they featured in the past, Heck, one could argue these animated characters are exhibiting more emotion and movement than their live-action counterparts did in the movies, in some instances.
I've always liked the more character-driven, saga/story heavy episodes of this show....always up for some good whiz-bang, but when "The Clone Wars" hits both of those marks, it can be pretty good viewing, and this episode hit those marks for me...

The last episode was decent but it reminded me too much of an earlier episode when Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka were training farmers to defend themselves against pirates.
I really dug that part too.
Ep 1:
I liked it but I'm a bit mixed. I like that Maul has a plan and "no! it's too soon!" is exciting for the future but I'm not sure about the whole Master/Apprentice thing; it makes sense and it feels forced at the same time.
And Maul's voice.... sometimes I like it and sometimes I really don't care for it.
Still overall a very nice episode.

Ep 2:
But for the whole 'we cannot get involved but we're going to anyway because there has to be Jedi action in the show!' I liked it.
The more time passes the more I like Asoka. Does anyone else seem to feel that Anakin is rubbing off on her? she has feelings and doesn't seem to mind and it is just me or does she seem 'darker' at times?

OK I've got a question,maybe some of you are also pondering it.
What happened with Obi-Wan and Asajj Ventress as they escaped at the end of last season?
Did Obi-Wan just let her go,was there a fight between them?
I know there was a truce to escape,did it extend all the way to them parting ways?

More then likely Obi just talk to her in the pod and left her. I don't really remember any of the shows where he went after her. IT was always her going after him in someway or another.

that will be on the Cinemax series Obi Wan: The secret files
Really liked the new episode.
This thread needs more posts!
It's really gone down since they created that new "other" section.
Dug the whole guerilla tactics and 'strike and run' method of fighting. That chic is a kick-ass marksman.
Asoka seems more and more disturbed and I swear she seems to be going very slowly Dark. Loved the scene with Anakin on the Holo saying "I know" and her "you Know?!" but I was shocked he said that in front of Obi-Wan and Yoda.
Also Anakin's speech to the rebels was pretty epic! really show what a leader he was and why his fall was so rough.

Anakin was a friggin hypocrite telling his padawan to "stay focused" during the holo transmission. Course what do you expect from a future ****** Lord of the Sith. He's definatly from the "Do as I say not as I Do" school of Jedi masters.

How is he a hypocrite? At the end of the episode, he explains he knows exactly how she feels.

Obi prolly checked to see if the carpet matched the drapes.

It's a four-parter.
It's subtle and like I said I'm probably reading too much into it but the way her eyes look, she frowns, she acts... maybe even Anakin is rubbing off on her (in a 'force' kinda way, feeding her some dark thoughts.)
But then again maybe she's meant to go down the same path as him, having feelings for someone else and being challenged but coming out on top as opposed to him succumbing to it.
Who knows?

I like the rebel story line but it's been going on a bit long.
Maybe when Obi-Wan and Anakin left we could have followed them for an episode then come back to the rebels.
Just to break it up a little.
Another good episode Saturday though.
