This is an episode with depth and rich storytelling. Like Frankenstein, we have a monster being created with no care for the emotional baggage this causes and the dark, unbalanced being that results.
Ventress has help from Mother Talzin to create a new apprentice to send to Dooku with a plan of using this apprentice to help destroy her former master.
The way they go about selecting, training and modifying the new apprentice is dark, brutal and cruelly immoral. These themes are powerful and it is all done really well.
The new character Savage Oppress, voiced by the wonderful Clancy Brown of Highlander (Kurgan) fame, is brilliant. The emotional depth added to him is great and the action is very entertaining.
A very powerful episode.
My rating: 10/10.
