I think I hated that episode the most. Voodoo dolls and magic zombies; what horseshit.
"The Jedi Who Knew Too Much" is my favorite.

Yeah Revival was an awesome episode. Because they built up Maul and Opress to be these 2 powerful brutes and then just had Obi-Wan smack them both around.
Was a nice surprise. I think that was a more exciting fight and episode than the Sidious one tbh.
See I didn't find it boring. Decent mystery, genuine angst, good chase scene. They forwent another mindless action scene with no emotional weight or meaningful stakes and introduced some humanity. It was a well executed shift and I just wish they had allowed the whole series to develop in to season, or even series long arcs with a similar format.

I didn’t mean to suggest that it was boring; just not as entertaining as “Massacre.” The chase scene was striking and Tarkin is like Sidious in that the more we see of him (giggity), the better things tend to be; it’s definitely top ten, possibly top five for me.
But “Massacre” was about as balanced as you can get, IMHO. It wasn’t perfect: Ventress’s unholy baptism was narmy as hell. But General Grievous was redeemed as a warrior and warmaster, leading a successful invasion of a primitive but powerful enemy. Ventress’s abandonment issues were further explored. The zombies were generally freaky and the droids were (surprise, surprise!) dangerous for a change. Dooku, usually a dominant presence, was cowed and virtually powerless, making Talzin even more intimidating.
I’d give “Jedi Who Knows Too Much” and “The Lawless” about an 8.5/10, whereas “Massacre” earns a 9/10.
I'll admit I'm biased against Ventress. I've never liked her. I think it's her voice, it always sounded like she was trying to sound dangerous, or menacing, or threatening, or edgy, instead of actually just being that way. She always reminded me of a tertiary villain in a video game who will show up periodically as a mini-boss fight, get defeated, and beat a hasty retreat before declaring "We'll meet again, Spiderman Kenobi/Skywalker!" Simpering and annoying.
Grievous too. For a primarily cartoon franchise, that character is somehow too cartoony. Like the creators decided there wasn't a proper Snidely Whiplash in Star Wars so they better develop a retarded Russian cyborg with smoker's lung.
Any episode with either of those two in them automatically dips in appreciation for me.

I had been hoping for more dialogue between him and the brothers instead of jumping straight to fight, fight fight fight, fight fight, fight fight. Though they gutted a pretty young blonde chick right in front of her boyfriend so that was a huge plus.

Don't forget how they look Kenobi look bad so Ahsoka can look good. I cannot see how Grievous, who has gone against Jedi Council members, was held off by Ahsoka, for example.
That too. He's like Thor in an Avengers book. He's uber when he's alone, but when the Hulk is around, someone needs to be Worfed to make hulk's victory look impressive.
It's annoying whenever Thor goes up against Hulk they will have them punch it out for Hulk to look superior.
Same thing happened in the movie. Though I forgive them for that as it was a really good scene and people should be able to guess Thor won't go all out with his powers in that context.
