Nobody really anticipated issues to begin making sense on Pandora Season 2 Episode 9, did we?
In a extremely bizarre narrative flex for a present whose hallmark has been character inconsistencies and continuity … confusion(?), we’re instantly reminded that Osborn admitted to killing his spouse on Pandora Season 1 Episode 7 for being a spy.
In the meantime, Cadet Jax will get to be captain now?
Oh, and Xander’s bought new toys. Good for him and Tierney!
No, however severely, how a lot dumb does Xander have in him? Even fairly does not make up for that degree of stupidity. And is he utterly incapable of turning down a drink?
Tierney herself admits that trusting her is a nasty thought.
You are sensible to not belief. Folks will all the time disappoint you.
Tierney
I discovered it notably reprehensible that he took credit score for planting a tracker on Zion when that was really Jett’s doing.
Talking of that, how did Bey Turhan and his crew NOT discover that one in every of their clone troopers was emitting a monitoring sign?
For a secret subversive secessionist group, they do not appear nice at masking their tracks.
Can we get a spherical of applause for our man, Jett, right here? He actually will get to play some key roles on this ship-jacking heist.
He is Jax’s first level of contact upon her escape. He retains her from killing Zazie on sight. He manages the timing, arranges for the false transport orders, and hacks the Dauntless along with his datastream jack.
Not a nasty day’s work for our resident ne’er-do-well. We’ll give him a cross on the entire “ship sounds sizzling” remark. Area is a lonely place (once you’re not Jax or Xander).
His unlikely friendship with Ralen will get spotlighted, which signifies they’re going to most likely issue into Jax’s testimony to the Ancients.
Regardless of all her angst about her testimony, I am undecided why she thinks she must say something for the reason that Ancients have proven that they are utterly able to pulling fact straight out of a Pandora.
Choosing Ralen’s ideas on the worthiness of the galaxy for survival was a sensible transfer.
I consider we are able to all the time try to be higher even when perfection is inconceivable to realize. It is the journey that makes us worthy.
Ralen
Ralen’s so nice.
Truthfully — and I’ve stated this earlier than — out of everybody on this crew, he is the one member who would not get booted into the brig inside hours of a mission begin.
The truth that he is additionally the one one with any actual ethical compass makes it all of the clearer that human individuals suck.
And that leads us neatly again to Osborn and Lucas and the ridiculous entangled historical past we’re speculated to care about.
Based mostly on the flashback, ten years in the past, Lucas and Shral spent a night with Osborn and his spouse, Laura.
Contriving to be alone with him, Lucas reveals to Osborn that Laura’s been definitively recognized as a Zatarian mole. She will probably be arrested, and Osborn should step down as chief of the C.I.S. in order that Lucas can take his place.
As a substitute, Osborn poisons Laura and retains his job.
For these conserving observe, the shenanigans are much more convoluted.
As the present chief of the C.I.S. (lastly getting her means after ten years), Lucas retains very shut firm with Harlan Fried who, in flip, additionally retains an in depth eye on her by means of that surveillance ship mannequin he gifted her on Pandora Season 2 Episode 1.
Allegedly, Harlan Fried was finest buddies with Osborn after they had been younger and have become concerned with Osborn’s sister, Eve, fathering a daughter, Tierney, together with her.
When Osborn, Shral, and Pevney discovered child Jax, they positioned her with Eve to lift.
Harlan’s different daughter, Cordelia, grew to become romantically concerned with Jax at some later date, a relationship Jax exploited to achieve entry to Harlan’s information.
So, yeah, it is most likely fairly devastating for Osborn to seek out out that he killed his spouse on planted proof from his skilled rival.
Osborn: You by no means preferred it that I married your sister, did you, Meredith?
Lucas: I preferred you a large number much less after you killed her.
Nonetheless, it is a bit chilling that Lucas does not appear to really feel any regret for her personal function in Laura’s dying.
(Additionally, Fried’s surveillance feels a bit spotty. One would assume that seeing his key informant taken down in her personal workplace may set off some form of help. However, then once more, which may’ve tipped his hand.)
I am nonetheless undecided that Lucas’s reveal was actually the cliffhanger to go away us on.
I’m inquisitive about the place the remainder of the staff’s gone off to and the way they managed it. All of the escape pods had already been jettisoned, in spite of everything.
My remaining quibble with this penultimate providing of the season is that your entire level of the Ancients offering Jax with a four-month extension was for her to unite the races of the galaxy.
The key to unifying the universe is to raised perceive one another
Shral
She made (transient) contact with the Misplaced Race and bought a glowy shell necklace out of it.
She made (extra intimate) contact with the Sumi and bought Aleka’s substantial help in occasions of disaster.
She’s bought Ralen. He is just one Zatarian, however that most likely counts.
Nonetheless, there’s one other race we have by no means seen and with whom she has made no effort to attach — the Chronoms (sp?)
So now she’s headed to Asmodeus VI and plans on testifying however has she really performed something?
Howsoever they handle to wrap up this season, as you watch Pandora online, it is perhaps worthwhile to understand that they’ve launched clone plots (a number of occasions), alternate dimensions, AND an anti-matter weapon.
With these types of instruments in a single’s toolbox, something is actually potential, particularly on The CW’s Pandora.
Hit me along with your finest theories within the feedback as a result of I am actually at a loss about the place they will take this in yet one more solitary hour.
