Episode Guide: Senate Spy

Episode Air No: 26
Production No: 205

Director: Steward Lee
Writer: Melinda Hsu

Episode Brief: At the Jedi Council's request - Padmé investigates a Separatist conspiracy in the Senate.

It was nice to see Bridgeworld AKA Cato Neimoidia in its splendor. The jealousy/secret affair subplot that was dropped from Revenge of the Sith makes a convincing return here.

The Clone Wars Anakin ultimately deals with his feelings more maturely than Episode III Anakin would. While he covets his wife, there's a little bit of respect for Senator Clovis, who places Padme's life above his own affairs. Anakin's does allow his darker side to show at the appropriate time as they fly away.

Thx for the link Topeka.

I've got the 720 coming down now.

once again for the thread and the uploads.

Despite not being an action-oriented episode - it was quite awesome nonetheless. The appearance of the Bridgeworld, and the re-appearance several prequel film environments and elements is what did it for me. Such as the Veranda and even the hostess-droids. The animation backgrounds were exhilerating and Padme even had a donk!

Next Episode Preview: Landing At Point Rain.

The only negative thing about this episode is that we have to wait three weeks until a new one.

I thought that this was a very clever and well made episode.

The espionage plot is an homage to Hitchcock’s Notorious.

The episode's ending is lifted directly from the film (see above).

I agree, it was a very enjoyable episode and I would like to see one or two more like it in the series.
Initially, I had doubts that the change of pace would drag the whole thing down, but it was handled very well and left me wanting more.

A Big thanks to those responsible for making these episodes available to all.

Cheers!!

It was a fun episode and another nice departure from the actual wars.

Yah,was a good episode... certainly a relief from just constant War based "action hero" storylines where it's obvious what's going to be the outcome in the 22 minutes of a episode.

According to the Cartoon Network's schedule, the next episode Landing At Point Rain will be on this Wednesday @ 8pm
