Chat corner 139: Bad Batch (and some mod notes)

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week, lets return to the animated TV show Bad Batch* Do you watch it? Do you like it? It feels like Disney is following two directions with its TV shows: animated for younger audience and live-action for older viewers. What do you think about that? Which of these approaches do you like more - or do you enjoy both equally? (Or perhaps neither?)

* I know, I know, the second season aired in the spring, the hype is deader than a dead thing. I have reasons! I try not to bring up shows that have just finished airing in the main chat post to avoid spoilers.

If it were something I was actively watching I would make a separate post for it (like we've done with The Book of Boba Fett back when it aired) but er, I don't really have the batteries to watch SW stuff as it airs anymore.

Maybe that's not ideal, though? Would you prefer I bring up things as they air? If you have a preference please weigh in, I'm happy to change my approach if it will work better for you.

I have watched Bad Batch, but have generally found it so-so. The last season did seem to be leading up to some more interesting things as it crossed over into other storylines. But I guess that's part of the problem, is that it's not very interesting on its own to me, but more in terms of what gaps it fills in.

In terms of posting about something recently aired, I think it's fine to post about it whenever. It could always be posted about in more than one time period -- like when it's currently airing as well as later when more people have seen the whole thing.
