This season of Resurrection promises to have more twists and turns than the previous and they have definitely delivering. Season one had many mysteries to contemplate and theories to ponder as to why the dead have 'returned' to Arcadia, but Season two has put all that into overdrive with only two episodes in. Now that more people have come back there are more pieces of the puzzle to sift through and connect, and one interesting piece must be Grandma Langston.
This episode continues after the events of last week's with Agent Bellamy returning to Arcadia in a different role, one some would label as spy. He is to report back to his mysterious boss regarding the 'returned' and, especially, any that are not claimed by family or friends. He understands he is a 'returned' himself and the season looks to explore that new found fact. I'm glad he decided to tell Maggie about this instead of keeping her in the dark only to have it blow up in his face when she found out by some other avenue.
Last season Caleb disappeared into thin air in his jail cell with Marty standing near. Along with his physical body disappearing, his blood samples from Maggie's clinic also vanished. We can connect those occurrences to what we see Margaret Langston do in 'Echoes'. When Mr. Holmes is brought in by Agent Bellamy, Margaret looks at him like she has known him or seen him before. Perhaps she has, but in what capacity? It's possible she has seen him when she was a little girl and he was at the factory, but maybe it's possible he knows something about those bones she unearths at the end of the episode. Let's not forget that she visits Mr. Holmes immediately before he vanishes, along with his blood samples, into thin air. Did she have something to do with it? The safe bet is she knows more than she is letting on. And she is definitely not getting any less creepy. I would love to know all of your thoughts on this.
'Echoes', the second episode of season two, aired Sunday night and brought with it many more questions for what is going on in this strange little town and little in the way of answers. The continued presence of Michelle Fairley's character, Margaret Langston, is such an added bonus to this already terrific series. The writing has undergone a profound upgrade from last season, which is exactly what the show required. I am really enjoying the new mysteries, but I hope that we get some answers by the time the 13 episodes from this season airs.
Thoughts and Discussion
- Does anyone think Caleb will return this season? If so, Do you think he has any relation to Margaret? I don't think it's a coincidence that it was mentioned that they both were cremated.
- What was with the bones that Margaret dug up in the factory? Do they have anything to do with the 'returned'?
- I thought it was a great story arc for the young Jacob to explore death and ask the questions he was asking. It took me a minute to understand what he was doing with that bird; he was trying to see if it would resurrect like him.
- Does anyone else think there is a connection between Rachael's dream of fire and smoke and Mr. Holmes similar dream?
- I know I have said this a few times, but I do not trust Grandma Margaret Langston. Something tells me she can 'sense' other 'returned' just like Jacob can. Remember when she tells Jacob something along the lines of, 'We are different', while they are on the porch. It made me think of how Caleb used to talk last season.
Thank you for checking out my Review! It may be a little too early in the season, especially for a show like this with such a large and mysterious central arc, to formulate concrete theories, but it is enjoyable nonetheless. Have a great weekend everyone! I hope you all enjoy episode three on Sunday night.
i'm glad that i'm not the only that sees some similarities between grandmama langston and caleb and she definitely made holmes disappear, maybe rachael is kind of like jacob in that he can sense the returned and she can see how they died and then return, the creators confirmed that caleb won't return, and the jacob storyline honestly kind of creeped me out especially because i hate when shows kill animals i hate it
ReplyDeleteShe is really weird. You are right. The way she snapped when she was at the factory but at the end seen her dig those bones was like a WTF moment for me cause i thought "why in the hell she was so mad about the factory not working when she is diffing some graves, if the factory were complete functional she couldnt even get close to it".
ReplyDeleteWhen i saw the bones my mind went to the fire the guy said he died in. I dont remember now if he said where that fire was tho.
I found really interesting the place Tom is now, these two women love him as much as he loves them, he is torn between his wife and the woman he loved so long ago, who knowa maybe they can work a threesome really good.
Yeah im out xD
Btw. i saw that dream like somekind of premonition for what's to come, maybe Rachel is special in that way?.
i know it's wrong but tom could get a divorce and be with rachael
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I think that story line is beneficial is because of Rachael's baby.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing about the graves. Why is she so angry? If the factory was operational she couldn't get close. I just hope that story line means the bones have something to with the returned and not some murder her father had to do with.
ReplyDeleteI did not read that Caleb was not returning. That is sad, I really liked his character.
ReplyDeleteThose bones ?? It could be either grandpa langston or the one of the reasons why the dead returns in the first place... My question is agent bellamy ... We know he's the family missing child with the moon scar on his neck.. However at the point and time is he a returned around that time meaning before he got shot? Or did he grow up to be the man he is now and him being shot and killed is his first time bein a returned ???
