| On the Viewer - Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Episode 31 - "Grievous Intrigue") |
 by Fëanor |
The last episode I watched of this was #22, so... it's been a while. I gave it up because I decided the bad things about it really outnumbered the good things, and it wasn't worth wasting my time on. But I keep reading good things about it, so I thought I'd give it another shot.
The narrator says Grievous always manages to stay one step ahead of the Republic. That's because he's always running away!
Sorry, but Eeth Koth is a pretty crappy Jedi if a random droid can disarm him.
Aren't Anakin and Obi-Wan two of their top Generals? Why would you send both of them on an ill-advised rescue attempt that is almost certainly a trap? Sigh.
Adi Gallia is kind of hot.
Yep, it's a trap, like I figured.
Admiral Narrator is here! They maybe should have thought about getting somebody other than the voiceover guy to play that part.
That was some sexy flying from Anakin. He really is a great pilot.
Grievous is a lot smarter than I remember him being. I like it! I always thought Grievous had the potential to be a really cool villain and a really interesting character, but they've mostly squandered all that potential, especially in the movies.
It's a little hard to be worried for Kenobi, seeing as how I know exactly how and when he dies, and it's not here and now.
I like Anakin's move here. The droid is torturing Koth using a button on his arm, so Anakin just pulls the droid toward him with the Force and chops its arm off. That's the kind of thing I always want them to do, but they rarely actually do it.
The droid crawling around after his own arm, and then not being able to activate it because he's missing an arm, is kind of sad and pathetic. And funny!
Despite the fact that I know pretty much how it has to turn out, I have to admit the fight between Grievous and Kenobi is pretty fun.
Heh. Commander Cody just punched Grievous in the face!
I love Grievous stealing the escape pod from the battle droid. That's funny stuff.
Yep, this show is still just the way I remembered it - fun space battles and lightsaber duels, and the occasional clever idea, but generally weak plot and dialog. Ah, well. |
