They've even pushed that in this series.

I haven't really seen any, besides Ventress popping up. I could be wrong.

No, I was saying that they've pushed it by NOT including EU plotlines, first and foremost being the Rex/Alpha debacle.

He pulled out a blaster to kill the retarded-Jedi-whose-name-eludes-me. That's sneaky. That's clever. That's evil. But if any of you have read the books, comics, or seen the previous series, it makes General Grievous out to be a badass in all arenas.
He needs to kick more ass. I get that he'd have to cheat against top tier Jedi. But I want some fodder. Two or three Jedi that go to take him down and he just slaughters them. Plain ol' outmaneuvering. Allegedly, he's a better combatant than Ventress.
Is his cybernetic enhanced speed supposed to be a match to, or greater than Jedi/Sith precog? That aside from his overall swordsmanship (or lightsabremanship).
If so, I'd imagine some droids would be able to handle themselves well against Jedi, instead of just being little more than light obstacles, as they're made to be.

Greivous has Jedi envy. He hopes his parts will make him Jedi like. (hnce the lightsaber collectiong and fighting)
But currently, he seems to be sub-par. Given ROTS though, he seems to be capable. I'm guessing there is some sort of change here.

Or the old mantra of 'practice makes perfect.' He has supposedly fought many Jedi by the time of ROTS, though right now he's fought a small handful of the same Knights again and again.

Well, they did try to fix that by showing the "trophies" in this episode, but it doesn't jive with the images. Grievous is ALWAYS shown failing and running away and they haven't even mentioned his kills when he's not on screen.
Int the gendy series, he took on FIVE jedi at once, including sitting and future council members. He killed TWO of them, in addition to Master Barreck. In the first episode of season 3, the council even mentions that "he's changing the face of the war."
In this series, Grievous can't even effectively take Ashoka. Even the "trophies" that Nahdar mentioned look like nothign more than padawan tails...and...has anyone ever complained that he's killed Jedi in the show? I cant remeber.

Does this series overwrite the old series, or do they coexist?
I hope Dooku has some action at some point, he hasn't done much.

Well, the next episode is called "Dooku Captured"
...because the last 3 episodes haven't been about capturing people...

I think the target audience of underage perverts is a bit narrow for primetime cable.
