Thoughts during the episode: -Todo's back yay! -What's up with Bane and shocking? Or is that like the ultimate form of torture in the galaxy? Maybe it's something in his past...not that we'll ever get to see that. -Creepy spa droids are creepy. -And now we know that 4x4=16, thanks to Threepio. -3D(?) sounds like Robo-Bane when he's taking Artoo... -"I'm your worst nightmare, pal."...that sounded weird out of Bane. -"If you know what's good for you, you'll give me what I want."
...that'swhatshesaid -What is it about hatless!Bane that makes him...hotter? Love that look to the camera...also kinda weird hearing his name out of his own mouth, but maybe that's me. -So...a magnificent job, Threepio -YESSSS MORE BANE NEXT WEEK~
Overall...um, interesting. I guess it was supposed to be like his real intro episode (I could definitely see it being that), but it didn't seem like...he really had much to do, besides interrogate the droids. His last scene was great, though.
The droid spa scenes really creeped me out. I leaned over to my father and I told him "This is like softcore droid porn", lmao. I get the feeling they used it mainly to show the difference between their situations, but that was more awkward than... yeah.
Yeah, electrical shock seems to be Bane's torture du jour: Bolla, Ahsoka and now the droids. I could def. see it as being something from his past expanded upon in the EU... if the EU ever decides to acknowledge that Bane exists.
Overall the episode was a disappointment (I'm not terribly fond of Threepio, though he's not a character I hate) mainly because it felt like everyone except Bane was holding the Idiot Ball this evening, but the Bane scenes and then the last few minutes (I never thought I'd be saying this, but hot damn Bane was hotter than woah for some inexplicable reason) made up for it.
That droid spa was awkward, and a little random. It just kinda came out of nowhere...I didn't even know they had those. And the way that fembot was talking was...creepy.
I'd love to see some comic book series flesh out Bane's past. Maybe I could be bothered to read EU then. But it must be a fetish, or something...yikes.
Yeah, it did kinda seem that way. That haggling scene over whatever those purple ball things were was pointlessly long, and...really? The whole plot was about getting some decoration for a birthday cake? Come on, CW. Bane was hotter than usual in that last scene; I couldn't pinpoint it, either. I think it was the way he swaggered into Jabba's palace and into the holo-conversation with total confidence. Yum. Definitely gonna watch that scene again.
CAN'T WAIT for next week. Fffffyesss, Bane on an airboat with a lightsaber.
Yeah, the 'cake decoration' plot seemed like something ripped straight from a 1980's kid cartoon (or heck, even the ancient 'Droids' cartoon for that matter) and it was just so awkward in a way I can't put my finger on it. I honestly think the Bane parts were the only reason to watch. Had it been some no-name one-shot bad guy, I'd have probably walked out at the first commercial break. =/
Airboats, lightsabers and rocket boots. This episode surely can't suck ... can it? Hahaha.
i'm drunk as balls on tellowtail charardonay but goddamn me n my boyfriend and watch this epidoed oand hilt fukcing shit goddamn, best part of the episode was bane taking to jabba god i got wet, seriously. my bfs like "why are u turned on wtf???" lol, he agreed to dress up as bane at some point, lol. can't wait for next week!!!!!
Filler episode. Which fucking sucks cause Bane is not supposed to be a part of those. Although, as I mentioned in my drunken haze, the ending was the best part, and most certainly not filler. Bane had a swanky, ALMOST break-the-fourth-wall thing going on, where he did a kind of second introduction to himself. It was somewhat cliche and yet I LOVED it. Him interacting with Jabba was great. Oh. And ZIRO NEXT WEEK. Get excited people.
btw, my boyfriend wants to make it perfectly clear that he IN NO WAY agreed to dress up as Bane for my devious sexual pleasure.
Even with all of Banes hotness and cowboy hatted glory... this season just seems so dull to me compared to season 2. Am I wrong? Tell me. I want to be wrong. But I can't shake it. I just got Season 2 on Blue Ray and rewatched most of it (screw the Mandalorian episodes, bah!) and it all just feels so much more... epic.
Yeah, I remarked to my father that this season really seems slower compared to last (and I thought S2 was dull), but that's probably 'cause maybe a good majority (or what feels like it) have been *ugh* political intrigue/Padme episodes. I wouldn't be surprised if all the RARRRGH ACTION! episodes (esp. with Maul's Brother) are saved for after the December break.
Wonder how much a table dance for the hutt elders would cost?
I'm horrible.
Also I enjoyed his smug little smirking when he was getting the translated conversation. The cheek patting was something I do when I rp him so that was almost creepy to me. LOL called it.
I'm always happy to see him in non-combat scenes because you get to grasp a bit more of his personality.
Ha! There are so many ways that could be taken.... ;]
Hm. I didn't see that particular gesture, but I'll keep my eye out for it when I get around to rewatching it. I don't know if it's because of the improved animation, but I love how Bane moved in this episode. And his expressions too.
Same. I mean, Bane's pretty good in a fight, but you get to see his real character in the scenes where he's not trying to shoot (or electrocute) the crap out of everyone.
The whole scene with the hutt elders is just an awesome line of 'Bane makes a lot of interesting' faces. He seriously looks like he's trying hard not cream his pants. AN OPPORTUNITY AN OPPORTUNITY !!
I noticed the movements too. It was almost like watching Jack Sparrow all over again. Gaunty, hip-checking, slithery little movements. He kinda has a seductive away of talking when he's trying to get what he wants. You listening to me? You like want I'm saying? Give me what I desire -- and I'll make all your dreams come true.
For a price.
I pay attention so I can rp him better. Tho it is just an interpretation.

SO. More coherent review:
