Hunter doesn't deserve it.
The fandom's response to Hunter is not fair.
People want him to break down and start screaming over Tech's death and that's not usually how grief works for someone in a position of care over others. In fact, for someone of Hunter's personality, there is an excellent chance he won't outwardly show his grief much at all. He will likely process it internally in the background while he tends to the more pressing matter of his remaining family. It's what leaders do. It's what the head of a family does.
Of course Hunter is grieving over Tech. He has been from the moment he lost him. But that grief takes a back seat to making sure he gets the rest of his family to safety, to making sure their injuries are tended to, and to stopping the Empire from taking them.
And he certainly isn't going to take a moment to grieve when one of them has been taken—and no, I'm not including Crosshair here. Omega is an innocent. Crosshiar tried to kill them, led them into a trap, and chose to stay with the Empire. Hunter was right to hesitate in trusting the rest of his family to the possibility Crosshair has changed.
Hunter's final words of the season have convinced me that we probably won't see a single tear from the stoic sergeant. There's no time to grieve when someone you love has been taken by a cruel and demented scientist and you don't even know where to begin to start looking for them.
"We are going to get her back. And we don't stop searching until we do."
Cut the guy some slack.

Crosshair kills two guards but then stuns Emerie
He even makes a point to switch from kill to stun in front her her (not easy to show on still photos). I wonder why.
and it's not just "he didn't have time with the first two guards" because he goes back to kill after leaving the room.

Tipping Point: New Normal
Inspired by talking to @ihatemakingusernames about my time as a feedee.
An audio about a feedee finally having their belly start to hang low, really low. If you enjoy greedy and needy feedees this is for you.

Something about the way imperials get stranded in ice and snow
And how that is nothing in comparison to the coldness of their welcome home

Crosshair is called CT-9904 by all of the Imperials. We see only Cody call him Crosshair, and then Mayday asks his name. What is surprising to me is that Emerie Karr, an Imperial scientist, calls him Crosshair, not once, but twice. Crosshair changes the setting of the blaster to stun before shooting her. Plus, we see shots of her looking a little distressed at Hemlock's treatment of him, especially at the mention of "the young clone." Are Hemlock's plans for Omega too much for her? Might we see Crosshair and Emerie team up? I don't want the season to be over, and I'm super scared for everyone, but I can't wait to see what happens!

The Supreme Court literally gutted the clean water act. Even pretending we have a chance at this point is cruel.
I mean the Supreme Court decision was definitely shitty, but I think "literally gutted the clean water act" is a bit of an overstatement for this decision:
"The 5-4 ruling in Sackett v. EPA creates a far narrower test than what has been used for more than half a century to determine which bogs and marshes fall under the scope of the 1972 law. Under the majority’s definition, only those wetlands with a continuous surface water connection to larger streams, lakes and rivers would get federal protections." (via Politico, 5/25/23)
Like, it's shitty, but it's ultimately kinda narrow compared to the massive scope of the Clean Water Act.
And luckily, the US's shitty politics aren't the sole determiner of the fate of the world. Brazil, India, and China are all very publicly determined to become global leaders in clean energy and other climate change solutions, and actually putting their money where their mouths are.
Also, solutions to climate change are starting to reach a number of potential "positive tipping points," where growth quickly becomes exponential. (x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x)
When I say that we have a chance, I am not pretending.

My redneck neighbor Doug watches 'The Bad Batch': Tipping Point
It's pretty darn clear that Doug's love of Daddy Warcrimes runs hard and it runs deep, along with his love for Toaster Strudel and Rex, who is the Daddy of Daddies. So you KNOW this episode made him a happy smiley boy.
For as grumpy and grouchy as 'Pabu' made him (and his extremely weird pairing of Mayday and Phee, which haunts me to this day), the amount of smiley faces and emojis I got in this one was the polar opposite. Or maybe that's because the Crimson Tide lost that day. Who knows.
Onto the Doug commentaries of 'Tipping Point' aka 'THE WRATH OF TOASTER STRUDEL'.
CW: "Call your momma if you wanna read my comments, I guess. Shouldn't the kids be watching that Australian dog show, anyway?"
----
Well, it’s a cloudy gross day in wherever. Is this to remind us that Daddy Rambo and the other two clowns are partying in Daytona while everyone else is suffering? I’m still mad OH HOLY HELL IS THAT JORGE?!
It is Jorge! And oh no it’S BLOND JACKASS’S BROTHER. God damn it, do they only hire the children of the corn to run this damn Empire, what the hell. I hope they’re not going to die, I’m still mad about Sassy Park Ranger.
Okay, they’re going out–woah! What’s this? Space battle? With the old school bloop-bloop noise, that’s great.
WHAT, YES! IT'S TOASTER STRUDEL! AND REX! Wait, no, that’s not Rex–who is that? Oh! It’s Jorge’s cousin, Manny! Hell yeah! And his new best friends he picked up from outside of Miami, no doubt doing some weird survival camp in the Everglades, based on their camo gear and grunts. I’ll call ‘em Trigger and Nutsy, for now.
RAIN HELLFIRE ON THEM, TOASTER STRUDEL! Pretend it’s yo daddy that left yo convection oven momma!
CLENCH YOUR BUTTHOLE AND BITE THE PILLOW, BLOND JACKASS’S BROTHER, YOU ABOUT TO FEEL THE WRATH OF TOASTER STRUDEL AND HIS TEAM OF FLORIDA MEN.
Holy SHIT, where has THIS SHOW BEEN?! I feel like a little kid watching Star Wars again! This is awesome! Kick everyone’s ass, Trigger and Nutsy! I mean, Jesus, they’re wiping the floor with them! I almost feel bad for the troopers, but they work for the Empire, shoot ‘em and let God sort ‘em out.
Manny remembered his electric bocce ball, love the guy. Go Toaster Strudel, go!
Seriously, I could watch Toaster Strudel shoot assholes and take over ships and bark orders at Trigger and Nutsy all day, forget dumpster diving with Church Lady and the gang looking for James Franco’s arm in Utah, THIS IS THE SHOW I WANT TO SEE!
(Hold on, my wife is yelling at me to calm down. I should’ve watched this at work on my phone, but I figured I’d watch it on the TV instead while drinking some Abitas. The last two episodes were not good for my blood pressure. )
10/10 would recommend to chug while watching Copy Paste Bois kill.
“Where are you taking those clones” man, Trigger is FIRED UP, and oh there goes BLOND JACKASS’S BROTHER KILLING HIMSELF ON SCREEN. And look at ol’ Nutsy, saving Jorge and handing him guns! Oh Jorge is so happy to see his militia boo and know his cousin Manny’s got his back. God damn I am smiling so much right now.
Welp, Toaster Strudel can’t download shit, must be the old Limewire acting up. BLOND JACKASS’S BROTHER was probably downloading porn onto the ship’s mainframe and the FBI caught ‘em in the act. The ship was clearly manned by Millenials.
Uh oh, Empire’s here! With the music! Seriously, I feel like a kid again screaming at the theater in Lafayette. Toaster Strudel and Jorge’s cousins escape! Go, go, go! My boys, my boys! Go!
Oh, man, Dr. Meat Muffin, I am a happy old man right now. So happy.
And they’re safe with Sonic Special, she’s getting them drinks and figuring out there’s shit going down in the place. Man, we need more of her and Toaster Strudel. If this is all we are getting from either of them, I’ll find the director’s front lawn and take a dump on it. MORE TOASTER STRUDEL PLEASE
Back in Daytona. Is it bad this place is starting to piss me off? I don’t CARE how pretty it is, I want people kicking ASS and taking NAMES and taking DUMPS on front lawns. At least Julio’s fishing and having fun. Did he just catch an Asian carp?
Woah! Ryan-from-Accounting clearly wants to die, as he’s got Little Orphan Blondie behind the wheel of the HMS Search Warrant and she’s flinging them across the sky. His bitch wife Laura must have found the posts online that Church Lady did of her and Ryan-from-Accounting, or maybe he got some extra life insurance. Who knows.
And there’s TOASTER STRUDEL! I love this bald bastard so much! Look at him hugging Little Orphan Blondie! Talking business with Ryan-from-Accounting! Shaking hands with Daddy Rambo! All after he took down an imperial ship and saved Jorge and his brothers! I bet he even brought some gas station chicken for everyone too! When does HE get his own show?!
Ryan-from-Accounting takes us to his true love, his Windows computer. Maybe he’ll show us his downloaded copies of that show from Japan with the screaming people and the aliens and no one wears a shirt.
(You mean Dragonball Z? -Dr MM
I guess? My nephew won’t stop watching it since he lost his job. - Doug)
That computer loves him more than both Church Lady and his bitch wife Laura combined, I bet. Which is okay, Church Lady’s true love is Sassy Park Ranger, he’ll be back someday.
“When will it be enough?” Oh can it and get a job, Daddy Rambo, don’t knock my boy Toaster Strudel like that. He’s a hard working man.
Oh man, Ryan-from-Accounting is panicking. Daddy Warcrimes is being held prisoner by weirdos, led by Ryan-from-Accounting’s bitchy stepsister, Beth, and Jimmy-the-Scientist.
“We don’t leave our own behind.” Why does this feel like a set up and Daddy Rambo is going to leave Ryan-from-Accounting behind at a Circle K or something?
Man, even coked out of his mind Daddy Warcrimes can take a clutch of folks down. Why do these scenes remind me of that show with Ed Harris and cowboys and robots?
Westworld?
Yeah that. Oh man, Daddy Warcrimes. I like those grey jammies on him. Oh man, it’s torture time. If this goes right back to Daddy Rambo’s gang having a kegger I’m serious, I’m taking a dump on the director’s lawn.
Now he’s getting lectured by Ryan-from-Accounting’s stepsister, Beth. She hates Ryan-from-Accounting because he has friends and she’s stuck in the 9-to-5 working in a place that looks like it smells like mildew and ass.
(“Where did you come up with the name Beth?”
“She looks like one, and she only drinks almond milk lattes and is a total bitch to waiters. She introduced Ryan-from-Accounting to his Bitch Wife Laura, they were sorority sisters in Alpha Amma Bitcha”)
Ahhh shoot them all, Daddy Warcrimes! Oh, now there’s gas. Is the Joker going to show up? I need Prince doing the soundtrack now. Will the internet get that reference? Michael Keaton was the best Batman.
Oh shit man no, it’s Jimmy-the-Scientist! I wanted the Joker :(
What’s going to happen next? Are they going to rescue Daddy Warcrimes?! What’s Stepsister Beth up to?!
(I gave up correcting Doug on Mayday and Phee. Just gave up. - Dr MM)

A little drabble after the trauma of S2E14
Pairing: Crosshair x gn!reader
Warning: Spoilers for Tipping Point, nightmares, brief descriptions of torture as seen on the show, PTSD
Word Count: 749
A/N: I was going to gift this to someone, but I think after the episode, we might all need this
Summary: Reader helping Crosshair after a nightmare related to torture
Crosshair had never spent the night at your home before. You’d gotten close to him saying yes, but he would always respectfully go back and stay with his siblings. He started seeing you after Wrecker essentially pushed him in your direction one evening on Pabu. You knew he’d been through a lot. That was some kind of massive understatement. It was clear that his time in the Empire had scarred him in more ways than one, but he seemed open to a kind of fresh start with someone new. You took your time getting to know each other and never pushed him. Being shy yourself, you knew how important it was for there to be space to open up when someone wasn’t ready for whatever reason.
You’d gone to dinner and walked along the water. You passed familiar faces and he reached out to take your hand. It started with just his pinky finger tracing the back of your hand as you walked and when you let your hand slide closer to his, he took it in his own. It felt comfortable and warm. You made your way back to your place and when you got to the door, you didn’t want to let go.
“Stay with me,” you asked in a tone that was questioning but hopeful.
He looked down at your hand and back up to your eyes. He clenched his teeth, a little unsure, but nodded yes.
You brought him inside, offered him a place on the couch, and made tea. You continued your quiet conversation with him between moments of comforting silence. You cuddled together on the couch and as you felt yourself start to fall asleep, you woke up enough to walk him to the bedroom. Getting comfortable and laying next to each other was a new feeling, but it felt amazing. You gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek and his eyes widened before he dove in to kiss your forehead with a little smile. Before long you were fast asleep.
While your sleep was peaceful, it was not long before Crosshair was plagued with his past. He was somehow transported back to that room. The pain seared throughout his form, starting in his neck. He was trapped and had no hope of escape. He tried thrashing his legs and reached up for his neck. In his dream, he could never accomplish those things, but you were already awake and witnessing the very reason he was so hesitant to spend the night with you.
“Crosshair.” You held his arm and gently shook him. “Crosshair, wake up.”
His eyes slowly opened, but he willed them shut as if he would wake up on that table again. You continued to try to pull him from his fears. He felt himself shaking as he woke up to see your worried face. Tears slowly streamed down his cheeks and he still gripped his neck.
“It’s okay,” you said in the most tender voice. “You’re with me. You’re safe.”
He curled up in a ball against you and started to sob. He lived with this fear and these memories, but had tried so hard not to let it out so explicitly. Yet here, there was no hiding.
You sat up and brought him into your arms so he could lean on your chest. He wrapped his arms around your middle and continued to sob. You even tried curling your legs around his for extra security. His tears soaked through your shirt, but you could not have cared any less. You gently rubbed his back and held him, placing soft kisses on his head and whispering to him how much you cared about him and how he was safe with you. You didn’t know how long you spent holding him and it didn’t matter. You leaned down and kissed the spot on his neck he’d been gripping. Eventually, he looked back up to you. Tears were no longer flowing and he looked utterly exhausted by his fear, pain, and grief.
“Do you want to try sleeping again?” You looked at him, certain his body would not be able to stay awake much longer.
He nodded and adjusted his position so you were lying down and holding each other.
He let out a small, raspy “thank you.”
“Nothing to thank me for. I will hold you for eternity if that is what you need.”
You shared small kisses and glances of love before you both fell asleep again.

The camera panning over Echo as Tech explains that Hemlock was kicked out of the Republic Science Corps due to his "unauthorized and unorthodox experiments" (the line plays right over the shot of Echo) was a chilling way to give visual hints to the viewer of what Hemlock is capable of/what those experiments could've entailed while still leaving it vague enough that the full picture remains a mystery and lets our imagination run wild creating an eerie sense of horror of what Hemlock’s done in the past
