A very enjoyable episode to watch. It might be my favorite in terms of a mix of story and animation. I'm glad to see that they continue to improve in all areas as the series goes on, especially as far as animation goes. I have yet to find anything on tv to match it. One of the few benefits of catching this episode on CN was that I was able to compare it to the animation before and after. Nothing comes close. Even the computer generated stuff looks like cut scenes from an N64 compared to this show.
I agree with everything that's been said about Asajj earlier in this thread. I have come to view her as the "darkside" equivalent to Ahsoka in terms of character progression throughout this series. She really seemed to be a one-trick pony the first two seasons. But ever since Katie Lucas took over writing her episodes she's really grown in depth of character. It's also interesting that she's so far the one character in this show that's been both a Jedi apprentice and a Sith apprentice. Now it looks like she will settle somewhere in the middle, and suddenly I'm not so convinced that she'll be killed off by the end of this series.
It was nice to see Boba in his new threads. I wasn't planning on seeing him in Jango's armor quite yet, but I thought he'd be wearing something much closer to what he'll eventually end up in. It was also cool to see him sporting his dad's pistols. Did anyone else feel like they've seen his helmet somewhere else before? The closest I can come is Starkiller's helmet from the darkside alternate ending in The Force Unleashed. If anyone has a better source (say, concept art from the movies) let me know.
PS: I hope I wasn't the only one packing a bowl in honor of the episode number. The colors, man. The colors.
