12 Monkeys: 3.05: Causality

[Dave]

Not sure how many of you are still watching this. I thought Season 3 has been a little flat and I haven't posted about the other episodes. (I feel this series is going the way Sliders did on SyFy channel. Especially as they are going to somehow extend the story to a 4th series.)

However, this "heist" episode was really rather funny, I thought, with some great time travel paradoxes and story twists. I won't spoil, and you need to be up to speed with all the previous episodes for the details, but don't miss this episode.

I just cannot bring myself to watch the third season. I don't care enough about it.

The Season picked up after this episode and so I'd encourage you to try to stick with it.

Just saw this episode. One of my favorites of the series. A very "timeless" feel if ya know what I mean. I also knew the father actor from Madam Secretary and it was fun for me seeing him in a different role.

I loved the paradox splinter that happened when both Jennifer's touched their father at the same time

Glad you liked it too. I thought the season picked up after this and there was a great symmetry by the end with the episodes at the beginning. As I said earlier, when I heard they were getting a 4th season I didn't have hope for the quality. They had used up the story from the film already and I couldn't see where it was going with the Red Forest stuff. By the end of this season my attitude has totally changed. I can't be specific without spoiling as there are great revelations to come about the identity of the Witness.

I was born in 1989 I got a kick out that.

As we know right now, the witness is Cole & Cassie's son. Well at least according to Ramses and I'm not too sure I trust him at this point. I don't even think he's dead! Let alone telling the truth about that.

The 12 Monkeys honestly reminds me of the early making of a really strong religion. A lot of what they are talking about does make sense. I don't see them being quite as nefarious as the time travel team makes them out to be. They have a much better grasp on the whole time travel thing. At least according to their own agenda that is. Cole, Cassie and the rest don't seem to know what to do at this point.
