Another great episode to add to the watchlist. This was the episode that I hoped I would have gotten a few episodes back, but due to development (or filler), we didn't get until now. I have been longing to see more of the Inquisitor as a certified badass, and I finally got it here. Neither Ezra nor Kanan is strong enough to take him directly yet, so their fight against him was rather short, which I loved. I liked the feeling of urgency that the episode, and it felt like it had to go quick, as our main heroes were followed by the Empire. I loved the callback to previous episodes by going back to the base that Hera and Sabine visited a few episodes ago, which again solidifies the need for these episodes that doesn't use a lot of time of furthering the story, because that narrative can be used in other episodes. I don't yet know what I feel about Ezra's parents. That storyline needs to grow on me a little bit more, but I do like how Ezra finally visited a place in himself that wasn't so good, and I think it will make him grow a whole lot and I can't wait to see where his journey goes from here on.

This show still feels pretty tame by Clone Wars standards, but I am starting to like the Ghost crew. All of the Jedi/Force stuff was nicely done. Ezra is blossoming into a pretty good character, as is Kanan. Also really enjoyed the Grand Inquisitor.

This starts to build more of a quality storyline as Ezra and Kanan face the Inquisitor again in a very engaging face-off.
There is some nice action and nice development in this episode.
Rebels up to here mostly had a lightweight feel, less serious or grown up in parts than the best stuff from Clone Wars. There are aspects of that lightweight style here but there are more of the serious, dark aspects which make this very enjoyable and cool for me.
My rating: 8.5/10.
