Sarah Conner? Cassie (Amanda Schull) goes straight-up T-800 this episode in which she decides to hunt down young Olivia. Unlike The Terminator, which also involved an unborn child and time travel, once she learns of the pending birth, her plan goes haywire. I loved the opening. The whole cutting between Olivia getting processed at the […]
Seeing is Believing Where the first episode back relentlessly fed us plot point after plot point, the second gives us a moment to catch our breath. Recalling the pilot episode, this episode fills in some of the behind-the-scenes stuff happening around our heroes’ younger selves. We get to see a longer version of Ramse and […]
Unlike last year’s binge experience, I split this season’s reviews into individual episodes. Makes for more clicking, but shorter reads. Let’s quit wasting time and get on with 12 Monkeys episode 401: The End! The Final Splinter Sequence Remember how last season ended? Yeah lots of action, but there was one stand-alone scene at the very […]
Initiate Splinter Sequence in Two weeks and Counting… Who’s Ready for the final season of 12 Monkeys!?! It feels like just yesterday I was standing up the 12 Monkeys panel at San Diego Comic-con and asking Alisen Down how she pulled off her amazing Jennifer Goines impression… But actually that was almost a year ago […]
Chatting with Amanda Schull is always a pleasure. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she’s happy to talk about just about anything and do so with a genuine passion. This recent interview with her at SDCC 2017 was no exception, with the only downside being it was to discuss the final season of 12 Monkeys. Schull […]
12 Monkeys Season 3 Night 3 Intro The final leg of the journey! We’re exactly like Tour de France bicyclists with this grueling pace. But now we made it. The end of the third season and the knowledge that next season is the finale. We’ve reached the beginning of the end. Let’s see what happened tonight. 308 […]
12 Monkeys Season 3 Night 2 Intro Everybody still with me here? It’s only night 2 of the 12 Monkeys Season 3 binge, but we’ve all just digested 7 episodes of a mind-bending show in two days! We haven’t exactly discovered extraterrestrial life or anything, but I think should still pat each other on our […]
Last Friday (5/12/17), I participated in a 12 Monkeys Season 3 Interview with Aaron Stanford and Amanda Schull, the show’s leads. Aaron (James Cole) and Amanda (Cassie Railly) return THIS Friday (5/19/17) for SyFy’s first “linear binge” of an entire season over the course of three consecutive nights. The two actors spent an hour on the […]
Now THAT’s a season finale! Back in the 80s and 90s, we couldn’t stand movies with one, boring ending so, movies like Wayne’s World addressed this need by including several “endings” as part of the narrative. What made me think of this connection is the way Cole gives the Titan Team a second pass at the […]
The creators of 12 Monkeys have been giving us loyal viewers a school yard beating here in the home stretch of the second season. Two weeks ago, they gut-punched us when they disintegrated Dr. Jones, thereby erasing her from time. A week ago, they let us catch our breath with a national holiday (US-based, that is). That […]
