This was a very entertaining episode! Jar Jar was done well again, as was the banter with Dooku, Anakin, and Obi-Wan. There was a lot of exciting action in the episode with the shuttle, the gun fights, the swoop bikes and the battle with the speeders. The gruesome deaths were unexpected by they added a serious side to a not-so-serious episode.

Honestly, I think this was one of my least favorite episodes so far. Dont get me wrong, it wasn't bad by any means, just not my favorite. I can't help but think that Anakin would be a little more hostile towards Dooku, this is the man that chopped off his arm and attempted to kill him more than once. I did love the bit with Dooku controlling the pirate at the end to kill his partner, really creepy music. I actually didnt mind Jar Jar either. I think my gripe is really just about the jedi and dooku working together with no real scuffles along the way.

So I give this episode a 5 (average).

My favorite part: the end, where Dooku uses a force choke and has the pirate shoot the other... that was cool!

The rest of this episode... nothing special.
