The Night Room

What a mindf*ck of an episode. So, they find the Night Room that
contains the origin of the virus and managed to wipe it out when
they self-destruct the room by burning it down. After that Cole
heads back into the future, but his future is drastically
altered as the compound with the Time Machine is now in control
of the VII. What the f*ck! So, I'm guessing that Cole is somehow
going to go back in time before the events of the Night Room and
actually allow Pallid Man to take the virus and try to "destroy"
it another way. This is definitely not an easy show to predict
and it's great! Once again Emily Hampshire as Jennifer Goines
f*cking OWNED it in this episode! Give that girl an Emmy
already!!! Sheesh!!!

It was great to finally see Aaron Stanford and Noah Bean get an
extended scene together. It was actually a good portion of the
episode where Cole trys to convince Aaron Marker to help him
save Cassandra to set the future back to it's original
trajectory. Naturally Aaron doesn't believe a word Cole and even
goes as far as making a Marty McFly reference which I thought
was damn funny. But the best part was when Aaron finally sees
for himself that Cole isn't full of sh*t when it teleports right
in front of him. His reaction was priceless. As great as
everything was in this episode, the most trippy, mind bending
moment was seeing who was playing Striking Woman. It was Alisen
Down. Who the f*ck is that and why is this trippy. Well, earlier
today I watched the episode where her character Jean Barolay is
killed by No. 6 in my Battlestar Galatica marathon. To see THAT
episode and then have The Red Forrest pop up for me to watch
tonight was akin to the planets lining up perfectly.
Crazy.....but awesome.

Really not sure what to think. This came off like THE episode
they would use as the Series Finale. Very complicated episode
that is sure to trip anyone up if they are not paying attention
to keep the time travel time and destinations in check. With
Cole literally at Ground Zero with the release of the virus, the
US Government is able to use his SAT Phone to pin point his
location and use an air strike to neutralize the threat, killing
him and everyone else infected. This is where things get tricky,
because his Time Jump is all over the place, he knows that he
will back and will get the information needed to track the
courier that has the virus, which of course will lead to his
death, Now it's up to Cassandra to warn Cole about his outcome.
But to do that negates stopping Ground Zero from happening. Now
the one thing that keeps popping in my head is that he of course
Time Jumps out of his situation just as the bombs hit. So, who
the f*ck knows where they go from here and that's the beauty of
the show. Can't wait.

Xander Berkeley!!! Another [b]Nikita [/b]alum joins the cast. It
looks like his role will be a big one, and one that will at
least keep him around for a few episodes since he is competing
with Katrina Jones. She of course is trying to stop the virus by
going back in time, but Xander's character Col. Jonathan Foster
is working on a cure after the fact. We learn that the virus is
constantly mutating, so it makes creating a cure almost
impossible. As for Cole, of course he survived the blast. But
it's what happens after the fact that left me once again
wondering where they are taking this. So, he Time Jumps two
years into the future to 2017 in the same spot of the blast
sight to be rescued, only to find out the virus got out, but
back in 2015, Cassie "confirms" that it was eradicated. I think
this particular Ground Zero was in fact neutralized, but someone
else someplace else released it. This show is a head trip!

Well, so much for Xander Berkeley sticking around. I was sure we
would get a short run for him, but not THIS short! This episode
was all over the place, literally. Thank God they had title
cards, because even I would have gotten lost with the amount of
stories being told at different time periods here. Hell, even
with the time stamps, it was work to keep up with all the
exposition. The one fascinating turn of events is Ramsey and
Cole now at odds. Cole wants to keep going back in time to stop
the virus and save humanity as well as Cassie (now that she bit
the dust) and Ramsey wants to prevent Cole from completing his
mission. To succeed means wiping out the future and taking away
the chance at a life with the Son he just found out he had. Now
THIS is how you set up a protagonist /antagonist dynamic.

I love that Ramsey has now turned into a major player in the
series. He is basically the reason / cause of the plague. Having
him Splinter and time jump to escape captivity was great and
having him use the knowledge of Cole and his mission in order to
circumvent his every move shows that the writers have thought
this all out beforehand which gives me confidence that they have
something big planed for the season finale.

Paradox / Arms of Mine

The final two episodes of this season were great. In Paradox we
get to see a very young and very cleaned up Katarina Jones as
played by Barbara Sukowa. I just always assumed that she looked
old. But in this episode she cleaned up very nicely. So smooth
and nothing like her 'future' self. In Arms of Mine, it all
comes to a head. We finally get to see the 'birth' of the 12
Monkeys and what they will become in the future. Really not sure
what they are, but I would hazard a guess and say some sort of
mutation. Cole saves Ramsey. only after being shot by Cassie,
who herself is shot and dying. So, you do the only thing you can
do and that is send her into the future in the hopes that Jones
can save her. It's kinda cool that for all of this season, she
can only imagine what it is like to travel through time and now
she gets to actually do it. Can't wait for Season 2 to start.
Very happy to hear the news that the series has been picked up
for a second season, which is set to air in 2016.
