Glenn Howerton kills it this episode. He is so creepy and completely sells Dennis’ psychopathic behavior. Also the Fight Milk video is such an iconic Sunny moment and is my favorite of the previously mentioned fake Sunny drinks/products like Riot Punch from the World Series episode and Wolf Cola from the Dee gets audited episode

The D.E.N.N.I.S. system and the implication were signs there was something very disturbing about his character but Dennis went full psychopath in this episode. I'm not ruling out him as a suspect in the killing of Brian Lefave as Dennis has been a crack head in the past. Great acting from Glenn Howerton in this episode.

2024-11-30 03:03:19 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown Bad Batch. I appreciate you guys' kind words from the previous Rundown. As for this duology of episodes, it does suck how quickly the Empire took control of Ryloth, especially after everything that happened during the Clone Wars. But, it was nice to see Hera again since Rebels and how even at an early age she was involved with the fight against the Empire. You guys made my day with your comments of the Expanded Universe. I started reading these books and comics last year, and they have been a journey. I would like to clarify some things in my previous comment. First thing, Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy, which consists of “Heir to the Empire” (1991), “Dark Force Rising” (92), and “The Last Command” (93), truly kickstarted the EU, essentially resurrecting Star Wars back to life after 4 years of Star Wars being essentially dead (1986-91). This trilogy is also known by fans as the Original Sequel Trilogy. The Thrawn trilogy was Thrawn’s first debut, with him threatening the stability of the New Republic along with having to face Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, Chewie, Threepio, and Artoo. As you continue Bad Batch, you will see even more influence from Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy. “Heir to the Empire” was also the debut of a character I mentioned the last time, Mara Jade, who later goes on to be Mara Jade Skywalker: Luke’s wife, fellow Jedi Master, and enemy turned lover. Fun fact, the level of love from the fanbase that Mara received are similar to Ahsoka’s. Really strong love. Feel free to look up what she looks like. For Rana, to answer your previous question, Lucasfilm has always had input on Star Wars books, comics, and video games. Lucasfilm works with the author for things like continuity and rules, but the author is allowed to craft the story they want, for the most part. As for who these authors I mentioned last time are, Timothy Zahn and John Jackson Miller are some of the most beloved Star Wars authors of all time. Miller also wrote the canon novel, “A New Dawn”, which shows how Kanan and Hera first met. Another example is acclaimed EU author, Drew Karpyshyn. For fans of video games, he is known as the writer behind the stories for “Mass Effect”, “Mass Effect 2”, “Knights of the Old Republic”, “The Old Republic”, and “Baldur's Gate 2”. If you ever wanted to know how the Rule of Two was created, read Karpyshyn’s Darth Bane trilogy. Bane was in Clone Wars as the vision Yoda saw on Moraband (and voiced by Mark Hamill). For Suraj, I know you love Andor. If you want books that just focus on the secondary characters of the Star Wars universe like Wedge Antilles, you’ve got to check out the Rogue and Wraith Squadron books by Michael A. Stackpole and Aaron Allston (RIP). I am currently reading through Stackpole’s Rogue Squadron books and they are great and will soon check out Allston’s books. I feel like it’s asking a lot, but I would love to see you guys discuss EU books. It is just cool to see new Star Wars fans discover new things. My dad has been on a similar journey for the past year. He only ever saw the movies, and when Ahsoka was coming out and was asking me about details, I just said to watch the animated shows. Never in my life would I ever thought he would do it, but he watched Clone Wars, Rebels, and Bad Batch and enjoyed them all. He also has read four of Timothy Zahn’s EU books and has loved them. One last question I do have for y’all. Whenever you guys finish The Bad Batch, would it be too much to ask for a reaction to Genndy Tartakovsky’s Star Wars: Clone Wars from 2003 even though its Expanded Universe? It’s short, the visual storytelling is amazing, and if you love Samurai Jack, you will love it. Thanks and I appreciate the Sunday Rundown for you guy’s feedback. Feel free to ask for anything like recommendations or just fun facts.
