6.5/10 - That was an interesting twist! Quite a smart tactic to pretend to be a rebel and keep it a secret.
that part at 20:10 chopper freaked out was hilarious
7.1/10. I liked the theme of this one -- that even though Ezra has psychic force powers, the fact that he has such hope about the resistance and his parents and the idea that help is on the way colors his interpretation of them and makes him wrong about what he takes from his visions, while Hera, who (as far as we know) has no force sensitivity, still has her wits and intuition, and is much more objective and perceptive about their situation, to where she figures out that Gall Trayvis is a plant. It's a little didactic, especially at the end, but it's a nice way to dramatize the idea of clear thinking and focus in the Jedi way using a non-Jedi.
I also like the world-building aspect that Gall Trayvis is not some idealistic senator out to help, but actually a way for the Empire to root out Rebels and keep a bead on the underworld. It's smart, and it's nice to see the Empire as effective and not just a bunch of bumbling enemies. That said, the execution of all of this didn't light my fire too much. They hammered these themes home pretty hard, and while the action sequences were pretty good, the melodrama of Ezra's reaction to the Trayvis reveal and the whole feint with Travis were a little wanting.
But still, a nice episode with a good idea behind it.
Maybe not the best episode, but still good fun.

That's actually a neat twist that Trayvis isn't the hope for rebellion but rather a tool for the Empire to find and get rid of anyone who opposes them.
