No Paul McCartney! And not much action!
I was set to moan that Cole surviving a Drone strike would never happen in Homeland but I thought him skipping forward two years, while still being wedged under the steel support and masonry was a good twist. So now he is stuck in Chechnya in 2017.
In the future, there is a whole host of new characters to take on board, and a shiny new lab set up. The biggest news of all was that; that the world is not a completely devastated wasteland. Is there really a hope for a cure there? I can't say who is right. Online discussion is comparing it to the Dharma Initiative. Did Helena sound like she was forced to be there? That wasn't my impression, but she was certainly holding back something from Ramse, more than the heavy suggestion that he was a father.
Foster doesn't strike me as an evil menace Bond villain-type. He may have just had the one odd bad day when he shot everyone. It happens! Jones, however, coolly deciding to rob them of the time machine manifold, and so of the ability to predict a third virus mutation, while simultaneously erasing all the cute children born as a result of bad timeline, well she did seem a little more crazy. So then they let Foster quote from the Bible just to prove to us that he is really the bigger lunatic because Christians in TV dramas are always villains. They should have made him English too. And some mustache twirling!
We have yet to find out how the virus survives as it obviously wasn't the fault of Cole, and Cassie is there now to mop up and prevent such a thing. Except she seems to accept Cole is dead and not even take a few samples. She must surely suspect that the Virus Man, corpse in a jar, is Cole's body.
It was also odd that Aaron didn't go with Cassie. He must have suspected her of having an affair with Cole for the better part of two years, they have just had a run in with illegal government intelligence types, and Chechnya is a dangerous place where you have to bribe your way past men with tanks. Instead he sends her off so that he can get back to plotting politics with his corrupt boss.
