Is Lost Soal watching a different episode, or did he just beat you by three minutes?
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

Oops.

Ouch. Looks like we have a budding John Hammond wannabe here. Wondered where all those beasts were going, now we know.
Just where the hell did all those enhanced future predators come from? They must be able to find the anomalies and retrieve what they need efficiently to do that, or have nurseries.

Where did Leech get all that heavy animal holding equipment, future technology, and private army from? The rival organization knows what era the Future Predator comes from, if they could collect many specimens, then implant them with control devices, and I guess psycho bitch can control the anomolies.

I guess the Sabretooth cat didn't really die in transit after all, but was merely redirected to Mr. Leek's rogue anomoly operation instead. But I'm curious how they caught dangerous animals from anonomly raptures that apparently closed up completely and even took some of their number, like the era with those giant scorpions (but they must've been a few steps ahead of Lester's legitimate group before and after the ARC was installed with that early warning system).Admiral Valdemar wrote:I'm thinking it's not Leech with a private bank account, but him and Helen and maybe some other group we've not seen. Helen has been all over and it wouldn't surprise me if she has help.
I dp wonder how they captured and partially tamed a troupe of Future Predators, when one Future Predator can dodge most rounds from a M60, and that doomed team of mercs sent into the scorpion desert only had those silly metal sticks with rubber hoops on the end (but they must have more advanced and powerful capturing equipment).
And the key to destroying all those Future Predators very likely lies in the control devices surgically installed into their skulls (ie a kill switch that sets off micro-bomblets in the Future Predator's brains).
It's hardly a 'cat fight' when both parties are trained martial arts fighters.Bedlam wrote:And apparently there going to be a cat fight to the death as well.
They really need to smooth out the tone of the series. It's slapstick, it's twee romance, it's action, it's world-in-peril, and none of it works together. I mean, when your ex-wife is using technology from the future to inflict her mad visions on the world to punish her ex-husband for rejection, it's time to leave the kids stuff behind, but they just can't do it. It doesn't help that Steven has become Torchwood-level stupid, even if he DID follow Helen to the Secret Base. Bit late, dumbass.
They haven't 'partially tamed' jack shit. They're being controlled, as explicitly explained in the episode. The future predator can survive a couple of hits from a totally unaimed and unbraced machinegun fired by a public servant with shots landing over an area of more than 30m2. Wow, I'm stunned.
Helen's knowledge of the anomalies (and the changed timeline) provides the only suspense in the show. Originally her plan appeared to be to simply *find* the future for some atavistic reason, but after Cutter's rejection her motives have changed.

I've got to admit, strained though Lester's escaping from the critter was, I greatly enjoyed watching him in surprisingly cool badass mode.
