Hmm. Exposition Central, with a side trip to the Continuity Trash Pile. A few questions present themselves:
Why, when Sydney was able to call someone, would she call Kendall instead of her father or Vaughn?
Why, instead of trying to hide the cube and wiping her memory, would Sydney not simply destroy it? This was asked during the show and went unanswered.
Has everyone forgotten the other part of the prophecy, that the Chosen One would be someone who never saw that one mountain range that Sydney has in fact seen? Or has this been quietly retconned away?
Now that Bug has definitively been revealed as Not What She Appears To Be, who is she working for? The obvious answer is The Covenant but since when does this show go for the obvious answer?
Does anyone believe that the Rimbaldi DNA has really been destroyed and that some of the fertilized eggs weren’t moved?
Finally, how much of Kendall’s explanation do we think is true? All? Any?
I was asking those same questions too but once I saw the end of the episode that finally confirmed my suspicions (that Vaughn’s wifey Bug is really evil), I just didn’t care about those questions anymore.
Well, okay, the one glaring error of Syd and One-Handed Guy walking a mile into that cave before finding the vault and then running out the opening of the cave which appears to be not a mile away but right behind them, does still bother me.
I think Bug is working for Sloane. I think Sloane is going to turn out to be the big baddie this season.
Anyone else think the Shadowy Covenant guy who commanded Julia/Syd to “Kill the unimportant man” sounded a lot like Quentin Tarantino?
My favorite line out the entire episode was from Marshall, of course: “No, I didn’t put a tracer on the cube. I’d never do that…okay, I did put a tracer on the cube.”
All in all, I thought it was a somewhat satisfying episode that raised just as many questions as it answered.
