Breaking Ranks

Definitely one of the more dull episodes of this season. The sixth episode of this rather great series was not what I had hoped for. Instead of doing something that could have furthered the story, we got an episode that was mainly focused on showing Ezra in a different setting than we have seen him in before: a cadet. I think most of the new characters were kinda good, and I liked that Ezra learned that the hard things need to be done to get what's needed, but I also felt like the training sequences were too unrealistic as training exercises. I didn't fully get what they would actually achieve from these exercises, but that might be expanded on later. And I thought that the episode lacked the other players a whole bunch. I like Ezra and I think he is a good character, but I don't really care about him on his own yet. He has a lot to learn and I hope that future episodes will keep him with the rest for a little. It wasn't a bad episode, necessarily, but it was the most disappointing episode of the series this far. Greg Weisman is a good writer, but I don't think he has had a truly remarkable episode yet.

This is a fun episode with Ezra going undercover as an Imperial cadet in order to steal something.

I am not sure how logical this is but it is enjoyable and entertaining. The characters are created well enough to be engaging and Ezra is growing in heroism which is good.

My rating: 7.5/10.

I actually liked this one quite a bit. You really can't get things done around the Empire very easily can you?

I enjoyed the whole cadet thing quite a bit, and it'll be interesting to see what happens to THAT character after the finale.
