Its about time I left better comments. First off when I saw the Senate stuff I started to groan going back to my feelings when Filoni pretty much ruined a few episodes over the Senate Stuff (just my opinion folks). Now I can handle it the way you included it to show how Tok was causing Palps some trouble and you made your point and moved on. I am interested to see how Tok takes to being bossed around by Grievous. I don't see good things happening there. I also enjoyed seeing the dark side a bit in Mace. I knew he had it in him if the truth be told. Once again you have me hooked on your characters, storyline, and action. I wonder how Embo is going to handle Mace? Great episode.
Heh, yeah I didn't want to linger too long with the Senate scenes! They were necessary to get Tok on Sidious' radar however...and we know it's never a good thing when a Lord of the Sith starts to take notice of you (just ask Ventress)! As for Mace's dark side, there was always an 'end justifies the means' edge to Windu (look at his actions in Episode Three) that I tried to touch on in this issue with his treatment of Tameron. It's hardline, it's cold, but nowhere near cruel or evil.
The confrontation with Embo is going to be fun, and there will also be some classic droid-versus-clones action in the next issue too! And you're right...Tok is not going to be happy about taking orders from Grievous!
