12 Monkeys Uncaged

Athan Cole certainly does not seem to be amenable to the future laid out before him, and in the 12 Monkeys episode, Thief, we see his avoidance strategy. Told brilliantly through Cole's and Cassie's reading of his journals, a love story unfolds that explains it all, including why someone might want to pursue the eternal now promised by the Red Forest. Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for Thief, and our special set visit interview clip! This week we talk about the incredibly insightful Cassie and Cole flashbacks, the vision of the three Jennifers and where it leads Ms. Goines, the inevitable fate of Eliza (the mysterious "Beloved E"), and the desperation of Jones in her desire to know more, even to the point of trusting Olivia.

The team is splintered in an entirely different way in the episode of 12 Monkeys entitled Masks. Is the fissure between Team Jones and Team Witness too wide to ever bridge again?

Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for EP NAME, and our special set visit interview clip! This week we talk about Cassie learning to pick pockets and Cole learning to dance, the amazing masquerade costumes and masks in black and red, the wonderful Rupert Graves as the elder Sebastian, and the questionable wisdom of bringing Olivia into the grand plan.

The 12 Monkeys writers fit a LOT of story into this episode entitled Nurture both in the form of Cassie's solo visit to the past and the mission to attack the Guardians' stronghold.

Going beyond fate versus free will is the idea of nature versus nurture in the rearing of a child in the 12 Monkeys episode entitled Nature. In this Christmas episode of sorts, we see the early Army of the 12 Monkeys led by Pallid Man's father (Christopher Lloyd) and the Messenger known as Mantis (Scottie Thompson), and Cole and Cassie see what their son is capable of.

Night 2 of 12 Monkeys season 3 gets off to a raring start with a trip to the 1980s in this very Ocean's-11-like episode entitled Causality.

The tough choice is made as the brothers, Cole and Ramse, go head-to-head in the latest 12 Monkeys episode appropriately titled Brothers. Is it hypocritical of Cole to protect one person over billions when he criticized Ramse for doing the same? Or is Ramse in the wrong for deceiving Cole in a fake play against the Witness?

This week we talk about Jennifer's troubling vision, Cassie's inadvertent snubbing of Deacon, the shocking discovery one year in the facility's future, and Olivia's prescient - but not Primary - powers.

With Olivia caged and Deacon imprisoned, the 12 Monkeys episode title Enemy takes on several meanings. How do you get your supposed enemy to do or say what you want?

We're going down some dark paths in the second episode of 12 Monkeys' third season entitled Guardians! The team seems very fractured, and the mission has barely even started yet!

Looks like we're picking up right where we left off in the 12 Monkeys season 3 premiere, Mother. Right away, we're learning a lot about Titan and what everyone has been doing for the past few months: a whole lot of nothing! But things get weird, too, with Jennifer's experience in France and Cole talking to himself, and not in the traditional way. Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for Mother, and our listener feedback segment!

Like a classical piece with its cadenza, the 12 Monkeys season 2 finale, Memory of Tomorrow, was the perfect cap to a season full of non-stop thrills. Some of our predictions came to fruition, but the manner in which they were fulfilled was unexpected in the extreme!

Utter failure permeates this week's 12 Monkeys episode entitled Blood Washed Away, but at least we got our "Casserole" moment! With all the narrative time leaps, the story took on an epic scale and the deaths were worthy of a Shakespearean tragedy. It almost felt like a season finale! Thankfully, though, it isn't, and the ending should be spectacular. Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for EP NAME, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about the investigation at Maxwell Rigfield, the tension between Cassie and Cole, the leadership problems of young Jennifer Goines, the mystery surrounding the there-but-not-there Titan, and the shocking juxtaposition of passion and death at the end of the episode.

The fissure that has grown between members of the group splits wide open in the latest 12 Monkeys episode, Resurrection, and death results. Now we can only hope that Cole is successful in his mission so that much of the damage is undone. But with a year budgeted for both missions, the repairs will take a long time to complete with no guarantee of success.

This week we talk about Deacon's spitefulness, Jennifer's acceptance of fate, Cassie's awakening to her fear, Cole's willingness to sacrifice for his mission, Jones' going down with the ship, and much more!

Causal loops abound, and betrayal is everywhere in the latest episode of 12 Monkeys entitled Fatherland. Will the break in the group lead to a split in the mission as well? Will Olivia's fateful decision also cause a crack in the armor for the Army of the 12 Monkeys? Plenty of set-up as we head into the "three-part finale," as Terry Matalas puts it. Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for Fatherland, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Cassie's possible regret, Olivia's backstory and transformation, Cole's and Jones' manner of dealing with deception, Gale's noble sacrifice, and the location of Titan!

The origin story of the Daughters doesn't turn out the way we expected in this week's 12 Monkeys episode, Hyena, nor does the investigation into Titan and the Witness in 2044.

Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for Hyena, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Dr. Jones' endearing patience with Hannah, the Cassie and Ramse team-up and why they hate each other, Jennifer's guerilla tactics which backfire tragically, Olivia's humility and blasphemy towards the Witness, and Cole's circular advice about the right ending.

With a distinct horror vibe, Meltdown takes 12 Monkeys down the Witness' rabbit hole, and not everyone comes out alive!

It's the buddy cop episode as 12 Monkeys heads to 1975 in Immortal! Besides the obvious mending of the friendship between Cole and Ramse and the "saving" of another Primary (depending on how you look at it), this episode left us with a shocker dealing with the consequences of Cassie's red tea indoctrination. What exactly is going on there? Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for Immortal, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Cole's leap-no-look attitude, Kyle Slade's supposed mission to conquer the Witness, the changing of history in saving Victoria, Ramse's tough love with both Cole and Victoria, and the possible future in store for both Cassie and Jennifer.

Was the Witness' identity revealed in the latest episode of 12 Monkeys, Bodies of Water? Certainly his method of communication was made clear as the 12 Monkeys fought their internal battles.

Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for EP NAME, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Deacon's idea of respect, Jennifer's thin grasp on sanity, Cassie's increasing compassion, Eckland's wonderful irreverence, Olivia's possible paralysis, and Pallid Man's rise to power.
