It’s now clear how things could pave the way to remove the tension that had been building between Cassie and Cole. With Aaron now out of the picture for betraying them. His pleading with Cassie was heartbreaking, but he couldn’t see the danger that he was putting her in. He only saw her as someone…
After a heavy focus on Ramse last episode, the attention was shifted back to Cole. After his ordeal in Tokyo, Cole was in even worse shape than he had been before. Despite his injuries, it was really the splintering that was killing him. He is incredibly sick now which is a major problem, but that…
Cole and Ramse are officially back in 1987 Tokyo and it’s just a matter of tie before things get real bad. As we saw the originator of the virus back in the past. It was just as disgusting as before, but it was eerie seeing it in a club environment. Cole being who he is…
The progress that they hope to be making isn’t really happening. They’ve been almost at a standstill for a few weeks now. They know that things will be bad, the disease will spread, and they need to keep looking to figure out what’s going on. The news that Cassie still dies is really bumming Cassie…
Cole is still trapped in 2017 and he’s seeing how terrible things were in the early days. Sure, things are bad in 2043 and he knows it, but people have learned to cope with it. In 2017 it is a panic as it slowly decimates the population. it’s a terrifying proposition when you think of…
Cole didn’t die. The plague is still coming. As a viewer of this show of course I knew this. Anyone did. If the virus was suddenly cured, the show would be over. If their main character was dead, they’d have a serious loss. We simply don’t know any of the other characters with the level…
One of the nice touches that this show does from time to time is show just how out of place Cole is in 2015. Bringing Cole to a fancy party is something that gets to highlight is awkwardness and how much things have changed. Showing Cole grab all the tandori skewers because he doesn’t know…
The future that Cole was jumped back to was entirely different from when he left. It was interesting to see his vision vacillate between what the future was to what it is now. The future now is a state in which Cole never went back in time and the West Seven were controlling the facility. A…
What didn’t work for me was the portrayal of Jennifer Goines in the past. Maybe it as the way she placed her glasses on her face as though it changed who she was. Now, maybe it was an issue with the portrayal, but she really shined when she’s in the present, crazy, and off the…
It was interesting that we got a flashback of the future. It was there mainly to show how desperate of a place Cole and Ramse were in before they found their team. It was all to set the stage for a trouble they were facing in the future regarding the impending West Seven threat. As…
Cassie learning to train with Cole makes perfect sense. Since she is so dead set on helping Cole’s cause, she now need to be able to protect herself. This is a world that she’s entering that isn’t commonplace for a doctor. She’s in new territory and following that will be interesting. Right now we are…
Things are changing in the future, but not in any noticeable ways. Unfortunately, since this episode were we got our first substantial look at the future and the characters that inhabit it, we don’t have a strong point of reference. Thus, Ramse’s comment that Cole was different since he came back didn’t mean all that…
12 Monkeys is a production of what was once a movie. However, before 12 Monkeys the movie there was the french short film La Jetee. Most people only think of 12 Monkeys, but every time that I think of it, I don’t think of the movie, but the original short that rattled me to the…
So, I pondered...
