AFter i finished season 1 of medium series, i came here. I watch series season by season. So, after finishing season 1 of this, i will move to another series.
I chose 12 monkeys because i needed to watch some different science fiction.
I will copy this to episode 1 also. I will edit here after watching some episodes i hope.
I hope i can enjoy.
ADD ON 22221 FOR EPISODE 1
I did not watch movie. I like the intro. It is exciting and there are lots of action.
Seeing Kirk Acevedo as José Ramse is good. I know him from oz and arrow. Nice actor.
ADD ON 23221 AFTER EPISODE 3
It is more meaningfull on these pandemic days
THey dont have protections inside tent, even they dont wear masks very well.
I thought it is the pandemic plague that people was having but jules said it was river fever. I dont know it is true but even it was river fewer, why could they die when they were quarantined? I could not get it.
I was wondering 2013-2015 of cassandra and now we saw a small part. It was really bad for her. Knowing future is pain...
ADD ON LATER
I just remembered that. Pallid man said he did not know james in haiti in 2014 year. But when 2015, he had said in previous episodes "i remember you from 1985". What does that mean? Pallid man is also timetraveller? HOw cant he remember the person from 1985 in 2013 while can remember in 2015? Am i wrong?
ADD ON 23221 AFTER EPISODE 4
It is ramse time!
This episode is important for me. That is why i give 9 / 10 . BEcause in the beginning, when dog appeared, we all thought they killed the dog but they did not.
I remember this scene from the times when i was watching tv and when turkish channels showing usa series, cnbce or e2. So it is special time for me :)
AFter they joined West VII, it seems they killed dogs to eat. Even killed innocent people. Despite ramse's sense but his sense helped them to escape, until that episode.
deacon came but could not get what he wanted. Even lost the woman from the crew and she joined them.
Episode is full of visiting different times. 2015, 2043 and 2035 i think. 3 different times. so, it was really brain storming.
ADD ON 23221 AFTER EPISODE 5
It was bad, he had killed henri. Like a cold murderer. He did not have to kill henri, they would found the place anyway. cassandra was right.
When she said this, james started to tell different things, nonrelevant to that. Like how he killed old people and was forgiven.
Again, that man did not want to kill jennifer, james and cassandra. Because he was afraid of he could damage time? Maybe.
ADD ON 24221 AFTER EPISODE 7
So our james died? beacause we saw another james but he was not our james we saw until now.
But now we lost the cassandra which we were seeing? now we see cassandra from one week before. Just like james.
James from other realities.
But little possibility but he did not die. He is strong because of time travel.
I could not understand how normally the plague started. Russian helicopters came and took them. It started like that in normal version? Probably.
And cant understand why monkeys want to destroy people of world.
And i could not clearly understand. One week later, james goes back one week. So they lie in the end of episode, aaron speaks about wexler and cechenistan but he already knows james was succesful to destroy. It is making my mind crazy :D i cant figjrue out.
ADD ON 25221 AFTER EPISODE 10
Aaron and cassie - and new enemy, ramsey
I did not know they were like in relationship. They kissed in another episode but it was only kiss as i remember.
You cant blame ramsey. There was a cure and people are dying at timeline. They need to be cured but instead of them they try to change past. Ok try to change past but people are also dying here. Pain is pain. In current moment, they are getting sick and having pains. WHen they change past, it will like they did not have those pains but if they fail, it will be for nothing.
I wonder why that woman told aaron. Who also made cassie dream about red woods.
What will they get if the world will be like in 2043? In 2043 where are they? We saw jennifer, in a woman army. She was helping cole in 2015 but now she said "we need to fix what cole did." and gave necklace to ramsey. Does she know he would travel to past? I am not sure.
Lots of questions but i enjoy watching.
ADD ON 252221 AFTER EPISODE 11
Ramsey and cole
Ramsey could try to kill cole. Just like how cole tried. I think in that moment he regretted it but for his son, he needed to do it.
It is really painful. We all saw how years pass. And ramsey does not get older. I could not understand it. ANd could not understand why he did not try to hit that big guy in prison?
He has learned japanese, it was funny :)
And how can ramsey will go back? He will wait until 2043 and when he left for the past, he can go on with his son but he will be older? And the son he left will be same son? I dont think so. Different timelines.
We all saw about witness.
I could not understand what they did when they tried to understand if ramsey was real witness, with those light things in a pool.
Until now, we all saw episodes. Killing jennifer's father for example. At that times, they always knew what cole will do. We now learned why.
So, cant they create another witness? Cole will go back to 2014 and will sent a future letter to cassie about witness and they will take precautions?
I am not sure what witness caused exactly or prevented. They killed father of jennifer and bombed Chechnya. Witness knew those and protected the virus? Maybe.
And i wonder deacon. We did not see for long time.
ADD ON 26221 AFTER EPISODE 12
Paradox but not first time,
Because before there were two james at same place. But this episode is called paradox probably because young james's blood came into future james and created paradox.
I could not understand why james put that needle himself and it exploded. And probably killed those people, palled man? Why cassie and katarina did not take father and james with them? Why did james give gun to his father just like saying "die while saving me"? Those parts were nonsense. James maybe did because he remembers like that.
And how did that paradox destroy returning back to future? I could not get it..
Too sad moments while james saw how he met ramsey.. He could stop that meeting maybe, but then timeline would change and maybe would not survive.
I see now how katarina knew how cole would not return back in 2043, she said in last episode. Because she saw in past it.
I also did not understand why whitley carried the head.
I have lots of questions :( but i realized one question from first episodes, why palled man did not kill in past because he did not want to change timeline.
And i did not understand why that woman tries to touch ramsey, as if she likes him.
ADD ON 26221 AFTER FINALE
Ending and some questions answered
But not all.
I thought whitley was carrying head but it was glued as we understood in this episode.
Cassie is a cruel like katarina and james now. She let aaron died. He was not a bad person.
Cassie became a person like that. I think this started after she was hallucinated by drugs when she saw red woods. She was not like that before. Now, she is killer.
I wondered if ramsey had known about cole was still alive. But they did not ramsey about it. Others knew Because aaron told about him. So they lied probably. They used ramsey.
And it is shocking but he is not witness!
I hope cassie dies. What a useless person. Such cruel.
Even did not ask who the real witness is. Luckily james helped ramsey and it shows we can change fate :)
We learned who 12 monkeys are. 2013 born people, with some skills.
SEASON REVIEW
It was nice show. SOmetimes it was hard for me to follow which year. It was moving fast sometimes.
They created paradox, so they could create more to help future but they did not do.
I like seasonn. It is brain storming.
I think we cant learn if the 2015 we saw was same 2015 that monkeys expect? What changed? It seems ramsey will survive. It will trigger another events to change.
I wonder for example cassie died and james went back to change future. Was it expected?
I hope i can learn those. Now i need to go to another series. Despite i want to watch more, i watch series season by season. I need comedy series.
Based on the Terry Gilliam film, SyFy’s 12 Monkeys television series is exciting and full of thrills. In Season 1 a time-traveler from 2043 named James Cole is sent back to 2015 to kill a genetics researcher believed to be behind the release of a virus that wipes out the majority of the human race, but he soon discovers that there’s more to the virus’ release than he had believed, and begins to work with a virologist named Cassandra Railly in order to track down who creates the virus and where and when it’s released. The plot gets quite complicated at times (with up to 2 to 3 time jumps an episode), but by the end of the season it all ties together and makes sense. Additionally, the show makes a number of homages and allusions to the film throughout the episodes. However, some of the casting is weak; particularly Amanda Schull, who doesn’t seem right for the role of Cassandra. Still, the over-arcing story is intriguing, and does a good job at building suspense and mystery. And the issues it presents about time travel and the moral qualms that arise about the value of life are quite interesting. The first season of 12 Monkeys is a bit of a rough start, but it shows potential.
Very nice to watch, but sometimes inconsistent.
In the end Katarina could just send Withley to the past to tell about the further investigation to Cole.
They have this care about not doing anything that could disturb the future investigation, but if they can't change anything, what is the point? So just kill the future Ramse a few years back.
(In any case here there is a paradox, so my question is valid)
Still, a good show.

Solid season. Not the strongest writing but not that bad either - too often people just know things or events simply happen in a way, we just have to accept it and move on. It could have been a great season/show(?) if they slowed things down at times, went further into characters' motivations. As it is, it's hard to see beyond cardboard villains and/or selfish people being selfish.
