they can jump into hyperspace on their own.

Tup’s inhibitor chip malfunctioning early and the subsequent episodes with Fives were great. Fives was a great character. Obviously it’s how the story goes, but if he could have just gotten someone to listen to him without sounding crazy Order 66 could have been prevented.

The Cad Bane arc was interesting, although aside from focused around the same character, the season 1 finale seemed separate from the 3 episode season 2 opener. It's funny though that the implication is Palpatine witnessed Cad outplay everyone, and decided to hire him on for his own nefarious plots.

The Genosis arc was good, the longest arc so far, and delves into horror tropes at the end. There was a funny bit at the beginning where Ki-Adi-Mundi, before the landing, says he doesn't believe in luck, and then just a few minutes later after the crash says to a trooper "with any luck..." Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

I finished The Deserter last night, and this was the first episode that focused on Rex as an individual. I've heard he's one of the clones to get some major development as the series goes on.

Finishing up season 2, the Mandalore arc was interesting, especially in context of having seen The Mandalorean first.The Zillo Beast episodes were entertaining, played more like a movie and its sequel than a 2-part story. And young Boba Fett was interesting, although up to this point I had assumed clones were created as fully grown adults. The plot points in other episodes about whether the Republic should order more clones seems odd if those orders are going to take years to produce active soldiers.

Season 3 seems to do the most jumping around, chronologically speaking, of the seasons. I didn't want to bother with the chronological episode order, but I can see how some may prefer it. While watching "Evil Plans" I was like, wait, didn't that droid die? It didn't click until halfway through the episode that it was a prequel to the Die Hard season 1 finale. It seems like they brought back Ziro the Hutt just to kill him off and tie up that loose end. A number of the multi-part episodes this season seem less connected to each other than previous arcs. Like, the Mandalore 2 parter seems built so only one episode or the other needs to be watched. Likewise, the first episode of the Mortis arc seems self contained, and the story over, when then no, it goes on for 2 more episodes. I don't know if it's they opt to make an additional episode after writing the first, or they're trying too hard to make each episode watchable on its own. This seems to fluctuate some, certain arcs flow better than others. Also, after the 2 season opener episodes, the clones take a back seat the rest of the season. Echo is killed in one of the Citadel episodes, and I only know that because another clone shouted his name when he died. They're largely disposable cannon fodder.

The Nightsisters are was also interesting, although I couldn't figure out Mother Talzin's angle. She seems to take each setback in stride, but makes some baffling decisions on who to help. Maybe it was supposed to be showing her playing all sides, but it just made her seem a bit feckless.

Season 4's Water War arc was a strong opener. My wife can only take so much JarJar though, so we skipped Shadow Warrior, the first episode skipped since "Supply Lines," which was the first episode skipped since season 1. hmm.. wonder if there's a pattern...

The last episode watched was Mercy Mission, which is like if R2D2 and C3PO wandered into a Zelda game
