It was cool to see so much of the Seperatist arsenal arrayed in the battle scene. The Retail Droids made another appearance. The ranks looked imposing. And by the same measure the electron bomb affected not only the Seperatist forces, but also a lot of the Republic gear. The small detail of Anakin's robotic arm being affected was a nice touch.
The M*A*S*H* reference? Very funny. Once I heard "Trapper, Rex, Hawkeye" I nearly bust out laughing! The homages to past material has been almost a little over the top.
As for the Zillo beast? The Godzilla references were almost hamhanded. But the storyline of what to do with the Zillo beast was interesting. The clashing of the Jedi ideals with the Dugs plans added to the overall tension. And when it came to Palpatine's reactions about the Zillo beast being impervious to a lightsaber? That was one of the few insights we've seen in the Clone Wars about Palpatine's Sith inclinations. It's nice to see a number of plot points being examined subtly in the series.
