Finally got caught up on this...and it is making me sad. Right now, the only thing keeping me watching is the character interactions. Shit that's f'ed up, I'm watching a dinosaur show for the people...
What Remains: Proof that the Pilgrimage selection process is not strict enough. "I'm gunna use an airborne pathogen as the delivery system for my mind affecting gene therapy. What could go wrong with that?" But hey, Taylor got to be a badass and show his own people that he could snuff any of them at will if he was in the mood.
The Runaway: Oh boy, more sixers mystery stuff, and not even a token dinosaur. By the way, Mira, WTF is the point of taking hostages if you're just going to give them away for free? And not that she needed it, but after Jim picks up the idiot ball and goes out on his own to rescue the brother despite having no clue where to go, he must have passed it on to her as she again lets a valuable hostage just walk, with the brother, for free, and after Jim had managed to learn a potentially vital bit of intel in regards to finding the sixers, and even said it out loud in front of her. Seriously, how have these morons survived out in the wild? But hey, Taylor got to be a badass negotiator.
Bylaw: Well shit, there be a dinosaur in this dinosaur show, imagine that. Too bad the son continues to prove he's too stupid to be trusted to tie his own shoes. Though he's not much worse off than the barman, who just revealed himself to be a spy to the son of the only cop in town without bothering to feel the kid out at all. Luckily, the kid is more interested in bringing his girlfriend over to care about a potentially serious risk to the colony he'll be bring her too...you know, when he's not making out with Skyy. But hey, Taylor got to be a badass, doing a bit of dino hunting and setting up the dumb SOB murderer before kicking his ass and sending him packing.
Nightfall: Honestly, where to even begin? EMP via asteroid? The only piece of shielded equipment is the holographic tv in the basement? The chips in storage, fried too? What, even the fucking guns are so computerized they can't work at all? Sadly even Taylor's badassatude wasn't enough to overcome total power failure and a pissed off dino at the gates and stop intruders from making off with his son's mystery box all at once, though he came damn close, even after taking an arrow to the chest. The guy is clearly making an effort at being television's current top badass though, seeing as when the impact shockwave was racing towards the colony, he just stands there for a moment like he's sizing it up and trying to decide whether or not to just take the hit.
