An Open Letter to Syfy – Save 12 Monkeys

I want to tell you a story.

In 2010, I did something I never thought I would do: I forgave Fox Broadcasting. In 2012, I realized something even more unexpected: I had actually begun to respect Fox again.

The ire that Fox earned over its mistreatment and cancellation of Firefly was well deserved, and the passionate-verging-on-obsessive fan base that forms the foundation of smart, serious science fiction has a VERY long memory. But the only thing more potent than our ability to carry a grudge is our dedication to the shows that define what it means to be great science fiction. Read more…

TM19 – S2E4 – Emergence

This week’s episode of 12 Monkeys, Emergence, felt a lot like a season finale – so much was revealed! With Jones feeling more uncertain than she ever has, it was nice to have Jennifer give her a new perspective. Let’s just hope that carries over into other personality conflicts that could use some perspective as well.

This week we talk about Pallid Man’s return, Agent Gale’s surprising cooperation, Ramse’s enlightening conversation with Cassie, Cole’s admirably single-minded focus, and the ever brilliant Dr. Eckland.

Saving Cole becomes the top priority in Paradox as younger versions of both Jones and Cole are sought out in 2015.

This week we talk about Cassie’s use of the truth, Cole’s childhood memory of his father’s death, Jones’ decision to have Hannah in her life, and Deacon’s surprise return assisting the strange invaders.
