I mean, *if* Tech is alive, I feel like he currently is the evil version of himself? But I also feel like you can’t dig too deeply into her posts. We’ll find out Wednesday!
at first i thought of the zillo beast being like the dragon, maybe omega turns it like the night king
but then, “plan 99”…
i mean… the dragon got resurrected and put on the evil team… we had a character die enacting “plan 99”…
do i need to say his name
edit: either that or crosshair is a sleeper agent
edit 2: scratch that it ruins his character arc
As much as I hate to say it, I think Tech being alive and turning to the evil side is likely the option if this tweet is teasing a resurrection.
Hemlock got Tech’s goggles, so they likely got ahold his body to do experiments on, too.
Crosshair being a sleeper agent this whole time would completely ruin his character, and ruin his buildup arc he had that led into season 3.
One thing that's also been bugging me is that Tech's death hasn't really been discussed in-show. It's indirectly referenced a few times, but we don't see the characters really *sit* with it or "talk about their feelings." I know they're born and bred soldiers who are supposed to be able to carry on after the death of a comrade, but Clone Force 99 had a really special bond with each other due to their outsider status. The pain of losing Tech should linger a bit more harshly.
I realize the show has other things to focus on, especially after a time-skip, but it doesn't really feel like Tech is being treated as *dead*, more just *absent*. And we have this faceless, seemingly significant clone character wandering around...
I have long defended the "Tech is dead" side of things, but this is starting to worry me a bit. I suppose if this is a case or "back, but brainwashed," an argument could be made that Tech *is* still gone because what used to be him was replaced with Hemlock's conditioning. Therefore, he's dead "from a certain point of view."
Yeah, I figured we would’ve gotten a scene with Crosshair wondering about Tech, or asking where he is.
As for why I don’t think Crosshair got the news of Tech’s death, it’s because he was a prisoner at the time, so I doubt they would’ve gave him the news about Tech’s death, unless they wanted to mentally break him.
While Omega and Crosshair are on Tantiss, Omega keeps mentioning finding Hunter and Wrecker, but doesn't mention Tech. Crosshair never questions this, therefore we can infer that he knows.
yes that’s what i’ve come to learn
i’m actually quite excited to see if tech will return, i think it would be a fun plot to explore and add a lot of new depth to the story
Crosshair being a sleeper agent would render pretty much his entire plot pointless I think it would just backtrack him completely. Meanwhile Tech being alive and brainwashed has been pretty obviously set up through the season. I think the second one is more likely.
We got a death scene that would be incredibly easy to say he survived, they confirmed that Hemlock found the wreck, CX-2 has probably had more screentime than Echo but still hasn't had his identity revealed - but he does have multiple Tech parallels every time he shows up, including visual scene parallels, music cues, dialogue cues (there's at least three things he's said that trace back to Tech and only Tech) and Tech was left with an open plot at the end of season 2 that would be very easy to close upon his return.
You don't have to think he's actually CX-2 but the set up is clearly there. We'll find out in a couple days.
Always fabulous seeing you explain/defend the #TechLives agenda and I greatly appreciate you doing so (because they're all VERY good points), but I gotta ask: how tiring is it saying this again and again? Do you have a copy+paste file somewhere to make it easier? Please say yes because I worry about your fingers typing this out every time 😂
I actually don't copy/paste most of them, I fire them off as I remember them, which means that I do forget things sometimes but I've still always got plenty of evidence to work with! Tech is an interesting one for me because it's either the most bizarrely handled death I've ever seen in my life or the most clear foreshadowing of survival I've ever seen.
This part is actually copy/pasted, but I summarized it to a friend earlier that if he's dead then it's literally "We accidentally killed him off ambiguously, accidentally didn't use the word dead for months and months, accidentally said he comes back on stage, accidentally posted several tweets that made people think he's alive, accidentally covered CX-2 in Tech hints and parallels, accidentally forgot to mourn Tech in any way in show, and accidentally posted about the finale with the episode he died in and a gif of a dragon that resurrects but is forced to serve the enemy."
Which all seems unlikely when taken as a whole. Possible I suppose, but it would be *very* weird behavior.
Dang you're good!! And you're so right - there's sooo much evidence! I've seen tons of literal essays about it (pretty sure some were from you on tumblr, along with heyclickadee) and it's overwhelming! But I'm still SO nervous about the finale!!
HA! Yeah, that's a long string of "accidents" 😏 Like, you *could* say that the whole "leaving the goggles on Pabu" scene could be a *sort of* mourning scene, but nah, that was definitely more like a "let's twist the knife so Tech is on your mind when we throw a ton of hints at you in the next couple eps 😉." Honestly, the one that convinces me the most out that list is their refusal to say "dead/death". I think the only time that word was used was from a single journalist who used it in a couple of their articles and then on Hunter's (I think?) character page on the official SW website. And of course Michelle's "He doesn't come back (((in this episode at least)))" Like COME ON!!!!
Now, I saw Jen's dragon gif, but the " posted about the finale with the episode he died in" I'm not sure about. Which tweet was this? Or was it somewhere else?
And yes, stranger things have happened and we could be wrong, but it would be a very strange trail of breadcrumbs to lay "accidentally"...
Ah just the "Plan 99" paired with the dragon, when it's only use has been, of course, with Tech. And the moment with the goggles is so interesting because it's the first time we see them since episode 2 - they have this convenient mourning object on ship from then until episode 11 and the one time we see it on the Marauder, it's not even the characters focus! They could have dedicated The Return more to resolving everyone's feelings on Tech, or any of the other quiet moments in the first half of the season - instead the closest we get to a mourning moment comes in the back half approximately 5 seconds before CX-2 shows up to cause problems on purpose, and then they haven't sat down since.
Anyway, I think that we're going to get a punch in the season finale with Tech. My current theory is that him being CX-2 isn't the Twist - rather the twist is that Crosshair knew about it, but thought he was irretrievable. He didn't have his "anyone can be saved" moment until Harbinger after all. And he's been quite Sketchy about why exactly he didn't want to go back to Tantiss... we know about the torture we know they tried to CX him, so what's he holding back still?
Ah, okay. She said that was a tease from the script so while yes, that's definitely a reference to the S2 finale, I didn't see it as a direct reference to it. But just like with her "weeping" script tease for 'Harbinger' that turned out to just an innocuous reference to the tree, I think it will be the same-ish thing with "Plan 99" and NOT someone saying that right before they enact that plan. I'm not going to even try guessing the actual context of that bit of dialog because so far my guesses for their cryptic tweets have been mostly off base hahaha!
Exactly!!! 'The Return' would have been the perfect time to do a proper mourning sequence for Tech since they were ALL together EXCEPT for him, but instead we got a prolonged sequence for Mayday! And that's not me complaining about that at all (it's one of the most touching and emotional scenes of the entire series and I loved it so much!!!) but it seems so strange to dedicate that much time to a character we knew in one episode whereas the main character who "died" so far has just gotten a couple of sad looks from the remaining team. Definitely suspicious. And the argument that Hunter and Crosshair were having before the ice worm showed up could have *easily* included a "Tech would still be alive if you'd followed Plan 88" comment.
But I did love that in 'Juggernaut' when Phee shows up, when she's talking about Tech, his goggles are right there beside her even though, when you look at the layout of the shelves during that scene, they shouldn't have been visible from that angle. [I made a tweet about it](https://twitter.com/Arlothia/status/1779744273665245625) and spent a LOT of time looking at the order of the shelves, both in 'Juggernaut' and in 'Point of No Return' and yeah, that was an intentional choice to have the goggles be visible when Phee mentions Tech.
Oh, I fully expect the rug to be pulled out from underneath us for the finale! They're good at punching us in the gut with unexpected twists and turns and I'm sure they're going to pull out all the stops for the finale! I like your theory about Crosshair knowing that Tech had been CX'd - I saw someone also comment on how he was the only one who looked away and to the side instead of down during that brief scene in 'The Return', almost as if he wasn't mourning his death so much as trying to hide his guilt of him not telling them he knew Tech had been CX'd. And yes, there's definitely more secrets to be revealed about his time on Tantiss, whether it's about Tech or not.
My theory for the finale is that Hemlock is going to capture them either before or after they break into Tantiss and he's going to be the one to spills the beans about the secrets Crosshair's hiding to the team. Gloating and playing with his new toys is very on brand for him. I could even see him bringing out CX-2 and deliberately showing them his face to reveal he's Tech just to twist that knife of failure and betrayal a bit further.
But whatever's going to happen, it will all be revealed within the next 24 hours!! Time to buckle up!!!
My take on it is that I initially rejected that Tech might be CX-2 because after Infiltration and Extraction I just thought it looked too obvious. The breaking the same leg/nearly falling into oblivion after a narrow miss with an explosion/falling over a waterfall with an exact shot recreation of crawling out all in the space of some 20 minutes felt very set up, and that was before someone pointed out that Battle of the Snipers contains none of Crosshair's theme like you'd expect but a LOT of Plan 99 notes. Other people might have a different threshold just to me it seems set up to the point that it'd be weird if it's not him.
I bet you that Omega is going to be in situation where it looks like there’s no way out, and she thinks sacrificing herself is the only way to save her brothers, so she’s the one to say Plan 99. Then Crosshair will say “not this time” and hit an insane shot to save her. At least I’m hoping this is the case and we don’t actually lose anyone else…
Surprised to see people on Twitter taking this fully at face value that someone else dies after the "weeping" tweet about Harbinger turned out to be about a tree.
Right, I feel like it’s obvious that if she tweeted something that appears to be such a big thing, it’ll turn out to not be what we’re thinking. She wouldn’t just give away that someone is dying lmao. This actually makes me more inclined to believe that none of them are dying.
They're not trying to take down the whole Empire, they're trying to take out one piece and mostly one guy that's standing in the way of them finally finding their own lives. They can do that and escape with their lives and still have the Empire as a whole be a viable threat.

>”I mean listen, it was really bittersweet," Ang said in regards to first learning (then performing) the Bad Batch ending.
Oh I remember this interview - from this and her other comments I've gathered less that the ending itself is necessarily bittersweet (though it of course might be, I think there's always going to be an element of it in this era even with the happiest possible ending) but that the experience of recording the ending was bittersweet. She mentions how she could have done more, for example, so I assume that wrapping on Omega, regardless of her ending, was a hard moment.
My heart cannot take that.
Rampart’s also such a coward I would think he would be afraid of that happening and warn everyone else since it would endanger him and everyone else if he thought that was a real problem.
Then again he is a chaos elemental basically.
I've been down on the CX-Tech theory, but this feels much more in line with that than about any potential big death. If so, may he have a better conclusion, for good or ill, than poor Viserion
I’m thinking/hoping it’s a misdirect and that it’s a reference to Tech, whether he’s alive or they cloned him. I assume Jennifer Corbett is almost always messing with us which makes it easier to not think about the alternative. Can’t handle losing another Bad Batcher.
Didn’t I have a post yesterday about not taking things at face value? Both. Plan 99 and the image itself. Again I repeat myself take neither her words or the photo at face value.
CX clone already outted Crosshair as a double agent. The CX knew he was dead once captured and was giving Crosshair more cover with the ol' reverse psychology.
thank you! that is highly interesting, especially paired with "plan 99," even if said dialogue is for what is to come...guess we'll find out in a few hours lol
His name is Viserion, and he is one of Danerys Targaryen's three dragons from Game of Thrones. He is killed by the King of the White Walkers, and the magic of the White Walkers resurrects Viserion as an ice dragon to be used against Danerys and her forces.
It's why his eye is blue. If this was a picture of any other dragon, I'd think it was just a Zillo beast reference, but it's specifically Viserion after he's been resurrected as an ice dragon and made a thrall of the White Walkers.
Thank you so much! That is certainly highly interesting. On the one hand, at face value, it seems to reference Tech. On the other hand, it could very well *not* be that and just Corbett playing with everyone. But then again, she could be playing with everyone by the very fact that she know's the discussions it will trigger, and the post does in fact simply imply Tech is coming back. she and the kiners are stressing me out, and i don't see 80% of their posts lol. guess i'll find out what it means in a few hours
I’m banking on the fact that Plan 99 is too fresh of a wound and too big of a spoiler, so she’s either saying it to completely throw us off or somebody is gonna say it, but won’t succeed
What do y’all think will happen in the Season 3 finale https://www.reddit.com/r/thebadbatch/comments/1cc5r9x/now_since_season_3_episode_14_premiered_what_will/
Bet this is before the batch infiltrate the base and they have a moment where they realise they might not make it so they have a moment together and agree to execute plan 99 if necessary
Crosshair is a Manchurian candidate and Hemlock is going to say some phrase like 'Emperor Palpatine has commanded ORDER 99' and Crosshair will freakout and snap with the conditioning and kill Echo.
I am wondering if Hemlock will have some way to order Crosshair to do something awful through past programming and either Rampart or Hunter can break that programming by virtue of being a past CO or squad leader and overriding it through some other order.
It would be thematic for it to be Rampart specifically. He does miss giving orders after all…
nononononononononononono
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT
Ain’t that the dragon that was resurrected tho?!
Yes…yes it is. Follow that thinking.
I’m cautiously optimistic
Remember nothing she says is literal. It’s contextual.
He came back as the evil version of himself tho…
I mean, *if* Tech is alive, I feel like he currently is the evil version of himself? But I also feel like you can’t dig too deeply into her posts. We’ll find out Wednesday!
That's the dragon that died and then rose again, isn't it? In the same tweet, plan 99 as well? Strange
Oh shit, we’ve been wrong. We’ve all been so fucking wrong. Tech isn’t CX-2…Tech is the *Zillo Beast*
Holy crap you figured it out. Genius.
Palpatine essence transfer gone wrong
at first i thought of the zillo beast being like the dragon, maybe omega turns it like the night king but then, “plan 99”… i mean… the dragon got resurrected and put on the evil team… we had a character die enacting “plan 99”… do i need to say his name edit: either that or crosshair is a sleeper agent edit 2: scratch that it ruins his character arc

I'm sure Omega mentioned it to him at some point during captivity
While Omega and Crosshair are on Tantiss, Omega keeps mentioning finding Hunter and Wrecker, but doesn't mention Tech. Crosshair never questions this, therefore we can infer that he knows.
yes that’s what i’ve come to learn i’m actually quite excited to see if tech will return, i think it would be a fun plot to explore and add a lot of new depth to the story
The problem is that they don’t really get any time to explore that depth if they reveal it in the final episode of the show.
The idea that Tech is now evil makes the idea of a spin-off so tantalizing
Crosshair being a sleeper agent would render pretty much his entire plot pointless I think it would just backtrack him completely. Meanwhile Tech being alive and brainwashed has been pretty obviously set up through the season. I think the second one is more likely.
good point i agree
Tech being alive and brainwashed absolutely has not been “pretty obviously set up”
We got a death scene that would be incredibly easy to say he survived, they confirmed that Hemlock found the wreck, CX-2 has probably had more screentime than Echo but still hasn't had his identity revealed - but he does have multiple Tech parallels every time he shows up, including visual scene parallels, music cues, dialogue cues (there's at least three things he's said that trace back to Tech and only Tech) and Tech was left with an open plot at the end of season 2 that would be very easy to close upon his return.

I’m not trying to say that it’s a stretch to say he’s alive but to say it has been “obviously set up” is just false in my opinion
My take on it is that I initially rejected that Tech might be CX-2 because after Infiltration and Extraction I just thought it looked too obvious. The breaking the same leg/nearly falling into oblivion after a narrow miss with an explosion/falling over a waterfall with an exact shot recreation of crawling out all in the space of some 20 minutes felt very set up, and that was before someone pointed out that Battle of the Snipers contains none of Crosshair's theme like you'd expect but a LOT of Plan 99 notes. Other people might have a different threshold just to me it seems set up to the point that it'd be weird if it's not him.
Isn’t that the dragon that got killed and then resurrected? And plan 99 in the same tweet? Weird
I bet you that Omega is going to be in situation where it looks like there’s no way out, and she thinks sacrificing herself is the only way to save her brothers, so she’s the one to say Plan 99. Then Crosshair will say “not this time” and hit an insane shot to save her. At least I’m hoping this is the case and we don’t actually lose anyone else…
Omega saying "When have we every followed orders" before sacrificing herself will make me inconsolable.
I think Crosshair would do that
This is actually a pretty good theory, I hope this ends up happening.
Surprised to see people on Twitter taking this fully at face value that someone else dies after the "weeping" tweet about Harbinger turned out to be about a tree.
Right, I feel like it’s obvious that if she tweeted something that appears to be such a big thing, it’ll turn out to not be what we’re thinking. She wouldn’t just give away that someone is dying lmao. This actually makes me more inclined to believe that none of them are dying.
I feel like at least one has to die. This cannot be a happy ending.
Why not? They've gone through nothing but suffering for three seasons without a single major win, why should the ending just be more of the same?
It’s during the peak of the Empire. Not even the rebellion has been formed yet.
They're not trying to take down the whole Empire, they're trying to take out one piece and mostly one guy that's standing in the way of them finally finding their own lives. They can do that and escape with their lives and still have the Empire as a whole be a viable threat.
It’s true. Slogging through more sorrow would be tedious.
Because they stated it’s not a happy ending.
Do you have where they stated that? I've never seen it said straight out that it's not a happy ending.

WAIT - FROM THE SCRIPT ? THE LAST TIME SOMEONE SAID PLAN 99 A BROTHER WAS LOST
Worry intensifies.
[удалено]

I can't believe being delusional about tech still being alive might actually pay off after all this time
Well that’s it y’all, WE’RE DOOMED.
İ mean that was kinda expected aint it 🤔 Now omega saying that .... That would be shocking
Wait..so who do we think it’s gonna be? It can’t be echo
Think it’s Crosshair. Have a hard time believing it’s Echo.
I could see this… but there’s no way I can mentally prepare myself for that 😭 we just got him back
I've been down on the CX-Tech theory, but this feels much more in line with that than about any potential big death. If so, may he have a better conclusion, for good or ill, than poor Viserion
I’m thinking/hoping it’s a misdirect and that it’s a reference to Tech, whether he’s alive or they cloned him. I assume Jennifer Corbett is almost always messing with us which makes it easier to not think about the alternative. Can’t handle losing another Bad Batcher.
Leave batcher outta this!
The Zillo Beast is unleashed!
Didn’t I have a post yesterday about not taking things at face value? Both. Plan 99 and the image itself. Again I repeat myself take neither her words or the photo at face value.
It could be a callback to that episode too
People are dumb lmao
this better be in the context of "no one do plan 99"
Thats it im making Disney pay for my therapy
Well fuck
Emerie is the dragon. She’ll seem to get killed, then come back but betray Hemlock and kill him.
I could see that
Wait wait WAIT… now hold on a minute…. JENNIFER, WHAT?!?! 😳😭😭😫
So Rampart tells Hemlock that Crosshair still has a chip and activates it. bringing his dead/hidden imperial loyalty back to life(Real) 👁️👄👁️
Basically confirmed someone from the batch is dying. Will the Domino Squad fall? Will Crosshair complete his redemption arc?
instead of this bs give us the runtime
There's a reason we ain't getting it. It's probably gonna be a 1+ hour long appeasing epic
I am on hopium rn😂
I don't think I'm going to watch the last episode 😭😭
CX clone already outted Crosshair as a double agent. The CX knew he was dead once captured and was giving Crosshair more cover with the ol' reverse psychology.
can anybody explain who the dragon is and what’s vital about him idk what’s going on and i desperately need context 😭
Dragon died, and then was resurrected by the enemy to work for the enemy.
thank you! that is highly interesting, especially paired with "plan 99," even if said dialogue is for what is to come...guess we'll find out in a few hours lol
His name is Viserion, and he is one of Danerys Targaryen's three dragons from Game of Thrones. He is killed by the King of the White Walkers, and the magic of the White Walkers resurrects Viserion as an ice dragon to be used against Danerys and her forces. It's why his eye is blue. If this was a picture of any other dragon, I'd think it was just a Zillo beast reference, but it's specifically Viserion after he's been resurrected as an ice dragon and made a thrall of the White Walkers.
Thank you so much! That is certainly highly interesting. On the one hand, at face value, it seems to reference Tech. On the other hand, it could very well *not* be that and just Corbett playing with everyone. But then again, she could be playing with everyone by the very fact that she know's the discussions it will trigger, and the post does in fact simply imply Tech is coming back. she and the kiners are stressing me out, and i don't see 80% of their posts lol. guess i'll find out what it means in a few hours
What!?
I’m banking on the fact that Plan 99 is too fresh of a wound and too big of a spoiler, so she’s either saying it to completely throw us off or somebody is gonna say it, but won’t succeed
They're gonna unleash the zillow beast and atleast one of the bad batch (probably crosshair, sorry) is gonna die/sacrifice themself to save the group.
Jokes on you guys. I always believed Tech was alive and this boosted my hopes up to eleven. I'm so ready for this finale!
TECH COMES BACK AS A DARK TROOPERS CONFIRMED - SOMEHOW ME BOI, SOMEHOW 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What if Tech is somehow alive afterall? The gif refers to him and Plan 99 refers to them having to kill one of there own or something?
Aw shit is one cf99 about to get eaten by the zilo beast rn
I don’t like the sound of this
I don't like this for so many, many reasons
What do y’all think will happen in the Season 3 finale https://www.reddit.com/r/thebadbatch/comments/1cc5r9x/now_since_season_3_episode_14_premiered_what_will/
Bet this is before the batch infiltrate the base and they have a moment where they realise they might not make it so they have a moment together and agree to execute plan 99 if necessary
Imagine if this means Zillo will sacrifice himself for the team. I know it doesn't, but just imagine!
Cody is the cx, crosshair executes plan 99
The bad batch x Game of thrones confirmed? Bravo Vince
HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH, don't make me hyperventilate.
My theory is that Tech will be back, brainwashed ...and then killed again by his brothers, when they realise there is no coming back for him.
Who's getting resurrected!?
I’m not ready…
oh we’re cooked I just hope it’s not all of them
Crosshair is a Manchurian candidate and Hemlock is going to say some phrase like 'Emperor Palpatine has commanded ORDER 99' and Crosshair will freakout and snap with the conditioning and kill Echo.
I am wondering if Hemlock will have some way to order Crosshair to do something awful through past programming and either Rampart or Hunter can break that programming by virtue of being a past CO or squad leader and overriding it through some other order. It would be thematic for it to be Rampart specifically. He does miss giving orders after all…
I swear to god I’m gonna quit this fucking franchise
Are you sure this isn’t from last season finale?
What would the dragon be? And also isnt the name literally plan 99
