Helix - Plan B - Review
Last week we witnessed Anne question Peter about his desires, whilst also manipulating him into killing innocents. Landry and Sergio fall to their supposed deaths, and Alan and Kyle make it to the bleeding tree.
"We have a job to do" Anne
This episode Anne and Peter continued down their dark path. Anne wants to recreate the community in her vision but to do that she needs to get rid of everyone that may pose a threat. Peter, still being manipulated by Anne, agrees to help do that and even suggests that he is willing to allow his brother to be killed.
Peter has lost himself; he seems to be getting a lot of satisfaction from brutally killing people. He enjoys it, and he has now become a huge threat to the CDC team. Peter wants respect, and he can get that from the cult members if he does what Anne says. He can be one of them which is why he is following her orders. He can, dare I say it, become their leader. I thought Kyle was good at manipulating people, but it turns out that Peter is much better. He manages to convince Kyle, still under the influence of the pathogen to kill Alan. That scene for me just shows how much of a coward Peter is. Peter, despite wanting to be a part of the cult can't kill his brother. He can't look him in the eye and kill him. There may be still hope left for Peter, but currently my feelings towards him have vanished after he set Alan up to die. Neil Napier portrayed Peter excellently this episode though, portraying a more darker side of Peter and a more cunning side, he deserves some attention for that.
I'm wondering if Anne acting the innocent when Michael was alive was all just an act. She didn't seem sociopathic before, but now she does coincidentally after Michael has disappeared. Her true colours have been revealed over the course of the last two episodes, and she poses a much greater threat than Michael or Amy ever did, because of her relationship with the cult members. They see her as the "Mother Teresa" of the cult and wouldn't expect anything bad to come from her. She and Michael shared a dark secret together, and I'm wondering what other hidden secrets they kept. As of yet, no one suspects Anne of any wrong doing. The CDC are focusing on Peter alone, and if the time should come Anne I think will hang Peter out to dry.
"I'm just like you, only better" Amy
Elsewhere, Amy's reign of terror came to a dramatic end. She thought that she had become immortal, well so did I, and just when she stepped outside into the lethal gas her face melted, like the wicked Witch from the wizard of Oz. Amy had thought she gained everything she desired, but failed to realize what the CDC team are capable of. If she was smart she would have tested out her immortality to see if she was immortal. Amy knows that Sarah is good at deception after what she did to Landry, so should have taken that into account.
Anyway, I personally was pleased she died, well technically she's still alive,but she will be dead soon. She has caused so many people pain, and killed one of my favorite characters off so she does deserve to die. Her way of getting to her goal isn't as despicable as Anne's though, which I suppose is one, if not the only good point about her. She just wanted immortality, nothing more, but then I suppose if she had that what would she have done. Nothing was revealed about what she planned to do after she became immortal. I think she would have left the island, to be honest.
Another shocking moment this episode was seeing Landry walk away scratch free from his fall. I had hoped if any of them survived if would be Sergio, but sadly he is confirmed dead by Julia. Shame. Landry, on the other hand, must be an immortal now. What Sarah gave him mixed in with the spinal fluid has still made him immortal even if his face is disfigured. So many characters on the show are becoming immortals; it's starting to make the whole immortality thing a bit of a joke. I'm just waiting now for the moment when Peter becomes immortal since all the villainous characters are getting immortality. Landry now will most likely seek revenge on Sarah for what she did to him. I hope next episode the CDC escape the island, as there are threats left right and centre, and now that the coast guard are dead they haven't got any protection.
Speaking of the coast guard. We witnessed an experiment on a Navy boat. Some men were testing this lethal gas on a Monkey. Plan B was to eliminate all inhabitants of the island. Whilst, that plan failed miserably as only a handle full of people died, watching them planes fly over to the sound of "Somewhere over the rainbow" was highly enjoyable to see, and one of my favorites parts of the episode. The lethal gas presumably kills infected, but currently that's not needed since Alan has found a cure.
Alan's trek into the jungle wasn't unjustified as Kyle has now been cured. What Soren gave him was the cure which Alan quickly concocted. Whilst I was glad Kyle survived, it doesn't make things easier for him as now he has to try and escape the island, which was clearly indicated in last night's promo for episode 12. Not all good news came, as Mother, the root and Julia's only solution died during the gassing. Now Ilaria will commit genocide, which now pretty much confirms that Julia's failed her mission, which is why in the future barely anyone is alive. Ilaria probably sent her back there 30 years into the future to retrieve the child, but for what purpose we can't be sure.
Summary
It was another great episode. Some interesting development happened with Peter this episode; he has completely turned into an enemy that the CDC will now have to face. He and Anne together will be brutal, and with little to no help the CDC will be up against the odds in the final two episodes. I was relatively pleased to see Amy "go", whilst she made a really good villain, Michael was ultimately better. He had a goal in site, whereas she's stopped at the point of her becoming immortal. Also, Landry is again on the loose, and Kyle has been cured. Overall, it was another good episode, but sadly didn't raise the bar than what was set in last week's episode.
Just quickly: What was that thing the Navy sent in planes? It was a form of gas right?
As always, thank you for reading! Let me know in the comments what you thought of "Plan B"
What did you think of the episode?
ReplyDeleteI really liked this episode. :) Peter just went full nuts and first I thought it was quiet odd but I do understand now that Peter has always been the villian and now started to embrass his true nature. hah. I am very surprised that Sergio is actually dead and I doubt he will appear again :(. I am glad that Julia is on the island, I feel like she is smarter than all of the others combined together haha (oh and Soreen is smart :D) and omg that gas was horrible. reminded me of the scene in The 100 when Tsing got radiated. but overall I am very excited to see what will happen next :)
ReplyDeleteThe gas was that nasty shit they tried on the macaque in the glass cabinet It basically burns anything it comes into contact with. Even though I saw that small scene I totally forgot about it until after the episode had ended.
ReplyDeleteSo it is gas, I'm glad. I was a bit worried since I kept mentioning gas above in the write up!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the gas scene on the ship I wasn't entirely sure what it was related to (I don't think anyone was) the thought never even cross my mind until I saw it happening that the coast guard would use that gas on the inhabitants of the island.
Peter has gone full psycho, he has completely lost it. When he started whistling, well that was just creepy. For most of Season 1 he was either under the influence of Narvik or working with Ilaria. I always knew he had a connection to Ilaria,which although may be bad wasn't something to worry about. Now that he's started killing he has definitely become a "bigger" villain.
ReplyDeleteI can tell that the writers are going to do something extra special for the finale, the way this season has been developing makes me think that we could get another cliffhanger like last season.
I was shocked with the episode and i read all the previous comments.But i dont think Amy is dead i think Laundry drag her back to abbey and i think she and Laundry will be the final complications to Alans and the others plan to get off there alive.Peter was unbelievable he went total psycho.. Anne on the other hand was more predictable because dont forget we only get to know her for 11 days so her reaction was not something that made me fall from the skyes dont forget she would let michael to do things to her own daughter.Walker I love her I think she tries to do her best given the circumstances.Kyle and Sarah I think if kyle lives by the end of the season they probably leave together I dont think Sarah will reunite with Alan.Alan by the way Its the only character i cant predicte what happens to him, of course, he will live but where will he be after all of this is something i cant see.As for Caleb I m not sure its Sarahs baby because this would mean that she ''planted'' the baby to someones belly by the end of the season and i dont get to see how this would happen with the abbey falling apart.Could be the baby Peter had in his arm makes more sense to me.At last i have a feeling that in 30 years from now in that island is not only Walker and Caleb.What makes me more curious to see the finale is that something must have went really south for jules not know what happened to Alan or not seeing or mention the others.
ReplyDelete"I was shocked with the episode and i read all the previous comments.But i dont think Amy is dead i think Laundry drag her back to abbey and i think she and Laundry will be the final complications to Alans and the others plan to get off there alive."
ReplyDeleteOMG! I hope you're right XD
"Alan by the way Its the only character i cant predicte what happens to him, of course, he will live but where will he be after all of this is something i cant see..."
Not that this necessarily means anything, but if we take what Julia in the future first does when she meets Caleb into account, then we have to assume that Julia believes that Alan never made it off the Island (in fact, she is the only character we know that does). When we get to his alleged grave, we see he is not there, but yet Caleb seems to know whom he is... So that leaves us to speculate that he could still be on the Island somewhere alive, which seems plausible given Caleb is most likely one of these two babies and that Hatake was able to inhabit the Island at some point...
"What makes me more curious to see the finale is that something must have went really south for jules not know what happened to Alan or not seeing or mention the others."
Exactly! I'm very curious too!!!!!! What the heck else all goes wrong!???XD
Peter, Peter, Peter, I have no words. The man is a psycho. He chooses to ignore reason and instead follows vanity. If you want respect, you don't kill someone, cut them open and then hang them upside down with the intestines hanging out!!! That is a different level of crazy. A person with a fully functioning brain would not do that. He has completely gone off the deep end. In the earlier episodes he was accusing Alan of having gone psycho for killing immortals but that is nothing compared to what Peter is doing now.
ReplyDeleteAre we to take it that Sarah now has the baby? I hope they will show us this season or next what she does with him. I want to know if he grows up at all.
I agree about Peter, I too wish we got some backstory on his time spent with his father/as a child. He's always been a shady character, but I don't think any of this is related to the Narvik.
ReplyDeletePeter's always been doing things for his own greed, and has always been jealous of Alan. The attack on Alan was probably personal, as he was willing to let Sarah and Kyle go, but not Alan. He's finally found someone (Anne) who treats him like an equal, who gives him the respect he wants. If Anne wasn't around I don't think Peter would be doing what he's doing, she's clearly having an effect on him, and is controlling how he thinks. He wasn't this bad when he had Narvik or after he got better so I just can't see them being related, but maybe something triggered a bad memory from his childhood or something.
Oh yeah that's a good point, I just remembered about that other baby, but something would have to happen to Peter and Anne for them to leave the baby behind. So I'm not sure, I'm still hoping he is Caleb as that would be a simple solution to his mystery man is. The synopsis for the last two episodes don't mention anything about the future timeline so I'm starting to get a little worried that we may never know.
I think Anne and Landry will die shortly a long with the remaining cult members just to wipe the entire slate clean. I'm not sure what will happening go forward if we get a season 3(which I hope we do) perhaps a new outbreak again?
Ya. it was some kind of "phosphorus"! I think it's the "white" phosphorus that burns...
ReplyDeleteYep, Peter has gone mad. I doubt anyone can talk him out of it, the only way they can stop him is by either killing him or by persuading Anne to stop what their doing, who would then persuade Peter, as she seems like the only one currently who can get through to him (Even though currently she's uses that to accomplish bad things).
ReplyDeleteI think Sarah will find Amy dead next episode, then she will probably just remove it. I still think Caleb is her son, but hopefully we will get some clarification soon whether the baby is him or if not, then who Caleb actually is.
"Peter's always been doing things for his own greed, and has always been jealous of Alan"
ReplyDeleteExcept we don't really know if that is true. Even though I think Alan is more honorable and good-natured compared to Peter (and a good chunk of the other characters), the truth is he is also not a saint, because he was willing kill/be a terrorist, potentially putting people's lives in danger, despite good intentions he might of had. So to some degree, he is a hypocrite (if we say, killing is still killing), it's just his cause is about the many over the few or about saving humanity as opposed to just wanting to be recognized/valued...
Again we happen to first meet Peter only after he was sick, we have never seen Peter pre-Narvik, we only have Alan's viewpoint/accountability on Peter's disposition...and unfortunately Anne knows of Peter's weakness.
Alan is also a character who has never been sick--so I do think there is meant to be some connection between "sickness/pathogens" and potentially tapping into a darker sociopathic look at humanity with both things like narvik, the gas, and immortality being like a disease--an anthropomorphic metaphor to nature of man...
You think they put the baby in Amy? I thought they didn't go through with that. They just injected a colourant in her eyes to make her think she was now immortal when in fact not. Whatever Michael was using to color his eyes his black, a reverse of it was used on Amy.
ReplyDeleteHowever, as I type this, I realize the person that was pulling Amy at the end of the episode might have been Sarah to go cut out her baby. I had initially thought it was Landry.
I am pretty sure you are right. I thought I saw the baby still in the glass tube in a few quick shots.
ReplyDeleteAmy not dead? I hope that's not the guess, but that would make for an interesting twist, and we all know how much Landry adores her. Peter has always been a character who's intentions are unpredictable. For instance when he demanded money of Julia for "mother", I expected him to make a deal,but not for his own greed when the fate of world rested on that root (even though he never had it) and now brutally killing them people. I didn't expect that.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Anne has been too predictable, she seemed like a person who genuinely wanted to help the CDC, now she's also turned "bad".
I am too am most curious about Alan, especially after Julia went back to the island looking for him. In the synopsis it says Peter and Alan's feud erupts in flames so I'm willing to bet that the place goes up in smoke, and Julia leaves Alan thinking he's died in the fire. (When he's actually alive) It will an interesting finale anyway.
The last time I saw the baby it was still in the glass tube before they knocked her out, so in all honesty I don't know if they went through with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd for some reason I've managed to miss that part with Amy being dragged away. I just download the ep, and noticed it, strange. That was most likely Landry. I can't imagine it being Sarah as she was talking to Julia, and that all probably happened at the same time.
For some reason I've actually missed the part where Amy is being dragged away by someone, so really she's not dead yet, but she will be very soon as I can't see her surviving.
ReplyDeleteAs for who dragged her, it's most likely Landry. I can't imagine anyone else doing it, but him. We never saw where he went off to so...
I just watched, and yes I saw the baby in the glass tube as well. Completely forgot to realize that they wouldn't have put the baby inside her since there was no need to especially after they tricked her into thinking she was immortal.
ReplyDeleteThe greed part must be true since he asked Julia for money for the mother root. Also, Peter I would say was jealous of Alan's relationship with Julia, which we slightly saw in Season 1.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the CDC team respect Alan more, and generally think he is a better scientist. Eg: "You Were Just Keeping Alan's Chair Warm"
Edit: After thinking about it though I can see where you're coming from. The Narvic could be still having some sort of effect on him. It was a aggressive virus after all, and Peter is now showing aggression, and is more violent.
Great episode, I hate Peter even more now, Anne is crazy man, I never she would be like this. Amy being played by Julia and Sarah was priceless.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I'm not saying he isn't greedy now, he totally is, I'm just saying he might not have always been this way, because either Narvik (in his case) changed him (brought out the worst traits, the fear, the paranoia that will forever 'take root and is thematic to the series in being a metaphorical symbol of something innately primitive) or that he does have a reason for feeling the way he does, because of how he was raised. He could easily be a character who got the short end of the stick early and unnecessarily in life, depending on what their father did them...
ReplyDeleteJulia, as much as I love her, is occasionally in line with Peter. Those are the two people that betrayed Alan before the events of the series, and aren't the most trust worthy, but again the difference is, we know why Julia has issues, because season one was more about her past, than anyone else's.
I didn't expect Julia to trick Amy, I expected it from Sarah because he intentions were clear, but Julia came as a shock to me. (A nice shock). Peter and Anne are a force to be reckoned with now, I'm sure though they will be stopped, eventually.
ReplyDeleteAh right, got it. I now really want some backstory on their childhood or their pre-adult life. It would be interesting to see Peter in a different light as currently I only see him doing all these bad things that a normal person wouldn't do.
ReplyDeletePeter most likely did have a bad upbringing compared to Alan who is reasonably older than him and could have missed out on their father's "worse days" or did nothing as Peter got hit?
Maybe their father hit Peter or something, that can damage someone emotionally, and if triggered can be a serious problem. So perhaps when Anne was questioning him something she said might have triggered all the old memories. Or it could just be something to do with the Narvic, like you mentioned above.
Anyway, Peter and Alan have a one on one in the finale so hopefully we find something out about this :)
We still haven't heard on renewal yet for this show, right? From what I've seen, I think the writers have written it as though it will be the last season, which is why they killed off Sergio so soon, and why Peter has gone totally insane. I am still holding out hope for renewal. ZNation got horrible ratings and still made renewal, so there is still hope.
ReplyDeleteThis ep had great stuff. Julia faked out Amy. All they did was change the color of her eyes. I don't think they implanted the fetus at all, as the promo for the next ep had a quick glimpse of it still in the jar.
Amy's fate was exactly what she deserved. But as to whether she's still alive, I don't know. She did seem to cough at the end. We don't know if it was Landry dragging her away.
Landry still being alive was a surprise. I'm assuming he's immortal and has to live looking like a monster forever.
Peter being insane will always bug me. I always felt he had alot of potential and really could have been a hero type. I don't think there's any redeeming him ever now.
As far as who is the man with Julia in the future. I think it's the baby Peter was holding. It's not Sarah's child.
I just love how each ep packs so much stuff into it, and we're just constantly surprised. It would be a shame for this to be the final season. Although, I'm not sure where else they can go with the show.
Z Nation have a 0.5 seasonal average. It's season high is a 0.6 and it's season low is a 0.4.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I think the only way for Julia, Kyle and Sarah to get off the island is by boarding on that ship that was send to kill them.Thats why Kyle tries to hold on that cure as leverage.Also, I want from the finale to answer what made Julia sick in the future..
ReplyDeleteI think Anne will be killed by Sarah or Jules as hinting in the sneak peak but i think that jules will get the job actually done.
Peter will go down from Alan which is the right thing given their relationship.I dont know if he will actually dies because i think that will had to do if there is a season 3.Because if there is he might be the season 3 main villain.
Alan rescue might have something to do with Soreen's mother dept towards him.
There only two episodes left and i dont think that burning down the abbey will take all the time in both episodes i think that in the season finale will deal with the get away plan and what really happened in the future.But i dont get to see how season 3 will go with the time difference thing that season 2 put on the table.Except if season 3 is in 2045.
Right! And something I also forgot about was how they decided to bring Doreen back into the picture and make some kind of point/connection that Kyle is suppose to be either Alan's son or a son-like figure to him, but yet they went out of their way to have Kyle parallel Peter in this episode by being sick and let loose, and instead put Soren in line with Alan!
ReplyDeleteJust so funny that we have Alan who doesn't seem to give a darn about his own known baby at all, but yet Doreen is making him think about Kyle and here he seems fatherly to Soren and then we have Peter who suddenly thinks he can be the father of all fathers just because Anne puts a baby in his hand, who may or may not be Caleb! XD
"There only two episodes left and i dont think that burning down the abbey will take all the time in both episodes i think that in the season finale will deal with the get away plan and what really happened in the future.But i dont get to see how season 3 will go with the time difference thing that season 2 put on the table.Except if season 3 is in 2045."
ReplyDeleteI agree, unless there is time travel! (which I am really really hoping for) ;)
I have a couple of burning questions myself, which have yet to answered, mainly revolving around the future timeline.
ReplyDeleteI too want know how Julia got sick, as I've been speculating a lot in previous reviews about it, but them ideas keep getting shut down. I think Kyle and Sarah will leave together not Julia (If anyone leaves), I can't see Julia leaving the island yet, not without a solution to Ilaria's problems.
Oh no I don't think the burning down the Abbey will take up a huge amount of time, if anything that will be saved for the last 15 minutes of the finale. (If it happens).
I've been wondering all season long about how the show will go forward if S3 is a go, me and Darthlocke have been speculating many possibilities. I can only assume that they might just carry on with the present storyline, and could possibly just forget about the future one.
Helix should have been paired with Z Nation instead of 12 Monkeys, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteNope, and it's quite worrying. As much as I really would love a Season 3, the fact that syfy are all quite on the subject makes me think that we wont get one.
ReplyDeleteI never understood why they killed of Sergio, his death served no purpose. It came out of know where and was a pointless death. You could say that they are writing things as if it's the last season, but didn't filming finish ages ago? I don't think the writers could have predicted such low ratings for the show. Maybe I'm wrong.
I'm confident it's Landry, I'm not sure who else would bother taking her. Perhaps though it was Peter as he was dragging dead bodies away at one point. (He might have thought she dead).
Yeah, Landry must be an immortal. There is no chance he survived the fall, and Sergio didn't, but I guess Sergio did hit something on the way down. Wouldn't it be funny if Landry turned up in the future timeline locked away somewhere like a monster, and someone such as Julia came across him.
Ha, that is true. Whilst Sarah is worried sick about the child, Alan hasn't even given it a thought.
ReplyDelete"I never understood why they killed of Sergio, his death served no purpose. It came out of know where and was a pointless death."
ReplyDeleteYa I'm surprised about that too. It wasn't really shocking or anything, just useless throwaway character, who had so much going for him last season. Such a weird writing decision!
I doubt it at this point, but maybe, just maybe, he is immortal and Julia just didn't know or Julia lied on purpose...
"If the show goes forward with S3, the question is how would it since there are two timelines? It would be very hard to find a way around it now, unless they either got new cast or just completely disregard the future timeline in favor of the present one."
There's only a few ways I could see this go...
1. They do two time lines again with post Island/Abbey (which could be anywhere and anything) and continue on with the future one from where ever they leave off...
2. Just the future timeline: Walking Dead-like Apocalypse situation scattered across the continent(s).
3. Just the future timeline, but something really off the wall like dealing with the last survivors of either race on a space station (and maybe they'll introduce Aliens!)
4. In the future they suddenly time travel back to who knows when to try and stop this from ever happening. If they continue to go with allusions to LOST, then perhaps they skip through times...
And that's all I gotXD I wish so much for just one final season
Yep, Sergio was one of them characters that had so much more to give to the show. He could have developed further as a character. Terrible decision.
ReplyDeleteTime travel I admit would be fun, I'd love the show to implement more "Syfy" into the show and that would really make my day if that were to happen. Sadly I don't think it will.
I agree that number 1 is the least likely to happen as I imagine if we got a season 3 that they would start fresh again with a new location/new outbreak.
I actually thought that they might just carry on to show what happened in between storylines, but then obviously if that happened it would be a continuation really instead of us getting to see something new.
If the show continued on from the future timeline, my only thought is wouldn't half the characters be dead since 30 years is a long time. I guess we will find out if we get another season.
I was hoping Sergio was an immortal, but no such luck. Maybe we will get to see Landry in the future.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue where they can go with Season 3, if we happen to get it. But, you never know. Stranger things have happened. Maybe we'll be surprised and get renewal. I think we'll hear after the finale.

I predicted Anne do die in 2015.
ReplyDeleteGuess how Alexandra died so young.
a) Because of a disease due to incest.
b) Micheal performed his planting ritual too early.
c) She disobeyed Micheal.
d) Just an accident.
e) Other
I predicted Anne do die in 2015.
ReplyDeleteShe probably did something to upset him, like question like Agnes did. Then he killed her.
ReplyDeleteI think Anne will die, I can't see her surviving. Also, I can't see the show continuing to use the Abbey and it's character in Season 3, if we get another season that is.
ReplyDeleteComma?
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that too, there could still be a small chance that he is, just without us knowing (Could just be knocked out, and unconscious) but a very small chance.
ReplyDeleteI think Syfy will take DVR numbers into account, as 12 Monkeys hasn't been doing that well, but its been doing really well in DVR numbers and that got renewed.
Likely. I just noticed that all of Micheal's ladies' names start with an 'A'
ReplyDeletePeter Vs. Micheal
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is telling us to take a break from 5400+ words of discussion.
ReplyDeleteI not surprised with Julia's attitude, she is smart and capable to do everything to complete her mission. I think the script is clever to make we believe that Sarah would make something to stop Amy and than Julia make her move, so like you said "A nice shock".
ReplyDeleteThat is strange, I wonder if the letter "A" means something or is significant.
ReplyDeleteStrange the comment got deleted. There is nothing wrong with a good discussion :)
ReplyDeleteJulia is very smart, and can adapt to any situation if it means completing a certain goal she has in site, such as finding mother. I expect Julia also to be the one to take down Anne.
ReplyDeleteI was seriously hoping that they would pull a twist and say that Balleseros survived the fall, but it was Landry instead. It's just a shame to see him die at that god-awful teenage psychopath Amy's hands. I know he did get the drop put on him alot in season 1, but alot of the people who did get the drop on him had some sort of combat training. A professional mercenary dying at the hands of a psychopathic 18-year old just...leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Then again, Helix has been known to hit you in the face when you think you know where they are going. Maybe Sergio can cheat death a second time? I highly doubt it, but with Helix's over-the-top writing style anything is possible.
ReplyDeleteOther than that little Sergio problem I think Plan B was an amazing episode. It was pretty frantic throughout the entire thing, and the gas storm to 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' was just perfect. The eerie atmosphere at the end of the episode where the gas cloud cloaked the entire island just felt so right.
I seriously hope they seal the future storyline and haven't retconned it, though. They did kind of start to drop that aspect quite a bit after the episode with Julia opposing Ilaria's plans. I really, really, really want to know who Caleb is and whether or not the rest of the world is destroyed due to Ilaria's Narvik C plan.
I was really annoyed he died, his death meant nothing to any of the characters, it was just unnecessary. I'm still kind of hoping that he's immortal, and when Julia went to check him to see if he's alive, he just appeared dead or something. Even though it's unlikely, I'm always hopeful. Whatever way it goes Amy has to die, I can't believe she's still alive after being gassed.
ReplyDelete"and the gas storm to 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'
That was my favorite part of the episode. I have loved Helix's song choices this season they have been so good, and they fit the scene perfectly.
With only two episodes left they still have a lot of ground to cover in the present storyline, so I'm not even entirely sure we will see the future timeline at all. They seem to have forgotten it, and just focused on the present one. I've been wanting to know who Caleb is ever since we first met him, and I really hope the writers haven't left the answer to that out of the final two episodes as that would be frustrating.
