I like this show and don't have many complaints but literally only one episode out of five thus far into season 2 has advanced the narrative at all. In the third episode we got to finally see what happened to Commander Cody after the events of Revenge of the Sith way back 18 years ago in 2005. That is the kind of thing we fans are actually interested in, not some stupid treasure hunt that was way too poorly written to be even remotely compelling. Wanda Sykes is not a welcome addition to the cast either. She is congentially incapable of playing any character other than herself. This entire idea of them working for Cid has worn thin and is obviously just a vehicle for the writers to find something for our favorite clone force to do every week. The only positive was Omega wasn't doing anything that she needed to be rescued from. That alone was refreshing. I'm beginning to lose interest honestly. The writers have a perfect opportunity to explore the early Empire and are squandering it with pointless filler.

Can anyone criticize this show without being labeled a sexist or racist? Probably not. So with that knowledge going forward I will take my lumps and just say that this is an objectively bad show based on an objectively bad premise. Nearly everything about this show is just moronic and ill-conceived. Being a try-hard show is extremely obvious from the very first scene. Cartoons can be very adult and crudely funny but the writing has to be there, just watch Big Mouth and you will see what I'm talking about. The blatant 21st century "edginess" attempted, and subversivness of expectaions, toward an IP over 50 years old is to be expected by people who really have no talent in furthering the narrative or desire to enhance and enrich the characters and stories. This really is like giving the keys to the kingdom to a bunch of 14 year-old kids who think they, and they alone, can make REAL comedy. They think understand the nuances of humor and are writing a masterpiece but in reality they aren't talented enough to even invent their own IP that can stand on its own so they stand on the back of something already established and still manage to fall spectacularly.

Let's be clear, nothing....and I mean NOTHING about this show is related directly to Scooby-Doo outside of character names and vague parallels of a group of teens solving some sort of mystery. The irony of it all is that had they not attempted to attach it to this franchise and just created their own show people wouldn't even criticize or make allusions to it being a rip-off of Scooby-Doo because it bears almost no similarities. People would be judging it solely on the merits that any show gets judged on. It would fare better and not get as much hate. Don't get me wrong, it's a bad show, no doubt, but it's an abomination as a Scooby show spin-off. This show shouldn't exist and if there is any justice in this world it gets cancelled immediately as a show of understanding by Warner Bros. That they made a huge mistake by green-lighting this farce. This is not what the public wants and as a business there is no profit in alienating your audience.

There was supposed to be ten episodes this season and all of a sudden it's made clear that episode 9 is the acual last episode. To top it off, the actual episode itself (minus recap, opening and ending credits) was only about 30 minutes long and it feels more rushed than just about any season finale I've ever seen. All the story threads were haphazzardly tied up in a truly awful way. Not sure what happened but this was just a terrible end to an otherwise fun season of television. Cannot believe how badly they dropped the ball on this. What an embarassment. It ends on a cliffhanger that was so contrived and poorly set up that you could be excused for missing the lame reasoning given.
