And really nobody thought about the cure for the initial plague? If they bring that back into the past then they can cure it before it mutates..They didn't even think about that? That's some shitty writing there guys......
What an interesting.
Cole is not dead and two years passed. World in bad condition.
Ramsey has son. It is interesting. If they change history, the son will disappear.
dafuq? Cole crawled out of a hole 2 years later. Cassy thinks he disapeared and the future is saved.. and some stuff about getting a new powercore to get Cole back..
That's all that happened and they took 40 minutes to tell it.. What a bullshit episode..
I knew he wasn't dead but now we know the missile didn't work. The virus is out. But of course, it has to be otherwise we have now show :)

Last week was basically the best episode ever.
Everything about how she had to hide the truth from past future cole a week later, in order to get everything in place ... I mean ... amazing.
It was wacky, it was crazy, it was emotional, it was intense, and it had its thrilling action and espionage moments.
And then, just to completely fuck up the entire premise of the show, they basically suggest that they killed-off the main character 5 episodes before the end of the season.
I mean obviously he's still alive, but that was a hell of an episode.
And while I had no clue what could possibly happen in this episode, it basically just undid everything amazing from last week.
I do not care if she gets back with her boyfriend. He seems like an asshole, and just because he know believes her, that doesn't make him any less of an asshole. So this (yet again!) one woman, two dudes, love triangle bullshit is getting really really too close for comfort.
Also, my biggest fear from the past few weeks has been that clearly since Stevie (from "Schitt's Creek") pointed out the zombie body's eyes reminded her of Cole ... then obviously Cole goes back to 1987, finally, and tells Leelan about the army of the 12 monkeys, and then somehow he dies and they extract the virus out of him and create it.
I don't want that to be true, but it feels like we're building up to something way too close to that. And I feel like that would be such a cop out.
Some of the time travel stuff has been genuinely unique and interesting, and I do appreciate that he got "dragged" two years into the future, but this feels like it is gonna end either really really obviously, or we'll end sorta obviously, then have one huge insane twist in the last 5 seconds of the show ... and then maybe never get a second season.
They already clearly changed so much from the film "12 Monkeys" and "La Jetée", but I feel like we're spiraling back towards something stupid, or possibly just something not well planned, like LOST.
I dunno, it's just, this wasn't that great of an episode, and it's hard to go along with the show when it seems like it's not really going anywhere.
It's not yet amazing enough to really sustain entertainment, without knowing where things are headed.
The mystery is fun and intriguing ... but a lot could be better and more intense.
Especially this episode and the alternate timeline episode with the West 7 ... it's most enjoyable when we're seeing Cole doing things that already happened in other people's lives, because that's where the context and drama gets filled in. And I wish there was more of that, and more consistently. Not every other episode.
I mean, it's already waaaaay better than the movie (but I'm not at all a Terry Gilliam fan) ... but it's not quite amazing on its own.
