MONTH OF FAMILIES, PART 21

THE BAD BATCH

”If this is where you want to be, then this is where you’ll stay.”

Tämän porukan kaikki jäsenet ovat oikeasti klooneja samasta jampasta. Mutta kun yksi heitä on jostain syystä nuori tyttö, josta aikuiset miehet päätyvät huolehtimaan, niin kyllähän siitä väkisin perhe tulee, vaikka kaikki ovatkin geneettisesti lähes identtisiä. Hunter ja Wrecker ovat Omegalle läheisempiä kuin Tech ja Echo, eikä Crosshair ole juuri paikalla, mutta parhaansa mukaan tämä isäjengi yrittää huolehtia adoptiotyttärestään/siskostaan/kloonistaan.

All members of this group are actually clones of the same guy. But because one of them is for some reason a young girl that the grown men end up taking care of, they inevitably become a family, even though they all are genetically almost identical. Hunter and Wrecker are closer to Omega than Tech or Echo, and Crosshair is rarely even there, but this Dad Batch is trying its best to take care of its adopted daughter/sister/clone.

The quote above by Hunter to Omega in The Bad Batch episode ’Cut and Run’. (Also like the sweetest ever reference to The Clone Wars episode ’Unfinished Business’ where, when Echo is torn between his loyalty to Rex and his newly-found place with the Bad Batch, Rex says to Echo, ’If that’s where you feel your place is, then that’s where you belong’, thus allowing Echo to go with the Bad Batch. First I thought that the similarity between these lines was merely a nice little easter egg for the fans as there was no way it was an in-universe reference because Hunter was on the other side of the yard when Rex said this – but then I remembered Hunter’s heightened senses…)
