I loved this episode. It was the most cinematical I thought of all The Clone Wars episodes and Coruscant at night looked amazing. I thought it was cool to learn that some of the design came from the old Ralph McQuarrie concept art. The Mandolorian army looked quite impressive too.
-This was a Satine episode and she faired well in the second half. The first half though, when she starts railing against Obi-Wan, I wanted Obi-Wan to push her off the landing platform. Annoying pacifist!
-Loved the scene too where the clones are questions the Ithorian and the transslation makes the scene even funnier.
-Mas Amedda and Mon Mothma too!
-Yeah, Palpatine looked royally pissed when Padme showed up. It's nice to see him plans getting occassionally thrawted.
-Very glad to see Padme show up here and not get kidnapped. I've seen some people complain about Padme being "super-senator" here but her involvement totally makes sense. Obi-Wan trusts her and she was in a very similiar situation as Satine a decade earlier.
-That great 180 degree turn where we see Padme walking up to Obi-Wan and Satine in the Senate hall, I was expecting Padme to say "Geez, Anakin was right about you two. Get a room, will ya!"
-I was happy with the portrayel of the Mandos in this series. They have a pacifist leadership but the people are willingly to fight for themselves. Then you have Death Watch, which represents the whole ways. I would only be disappointed if we never saw the Mandolorians again but I suspect they'll be back...and in greater numbers. ;)
-Anakin was supposed to have a subplot in this episode where he was preparing the Mandalore invasion force. Would have been interesting to see but it would have definitely been filler.
-I agree with your criticism as to why the sniper shot the spy first and not Satine. The only thing I can think of is he decided to kill the most physically dangerous of the two first and didn't expect Satine to put up much of a fight. Stupid droid police should have realized where the shots were coming from too.
-I also wish they episode could have been another thirty minutes as well. Would have made an epic even more epic.
