YMMV / Star Wars: The Bad Batch S2E12 "The Outpost"

Go To

  • Catharsis Factor: Crosshair fragging Nolan for his horrible treatment of his subordinates. The cherry on top was how Crosshair wanted his so-called commanding officer to see it coming.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Crosshair. Good lord, Crosshair. He gets assigned to a callous and clearly unqualified lieutenant who treats him and other clones like complete garbage, and he gets assigned to a mission where the other clones he works with dies and the last clone whom he tried so hard to save dies because the lieutenant denied him medical care for failing the mission. Is it any surprise that he murders said lieutenant and just passes out from exhaustion and gives up knowing he would be arrested or killed for said murder?
  • Moral Event Horizon: Lieutenant Nolan crosses it by deliberately denying medical aid to a critically wounded Mayday, telling Crosshair Mayday doesn’t deserve it for failing the mission. Of all the horrible ways Nolan has treated the clones, this is by far the most rotten thing he’s done, and it's this moment that makes it clear the only way to salvage him is with a blaster bolt to the face (which Crosshair is all too happy to provide).
  • The Woobie: Mayday. The poor guy got transferred to an ice-cold craphole planet, watched his men slowly whittled down to just him and two others who perish shortly after the Imperials arrive, and dies from injuries sustained while retrieving equipment for his Stormtrooper replacements.
