That was a good episode. Now that they aren't trying to copy the movie and we aren't busy comparing the two, it is so much better. They are using time travel more with paradoxes. What a concept.
I happened upon an episode a few weeks back...wondering if there is a way I might be able to catch up with the series. (Netflix?)

All of season 2 is available on syfy.com - I'm not sure about season 1.

So I watched the first episode and enjoyed it. The lead actress who plays Cassey, really performed her reactions to the dodgy looking time traveller, superbly and much more realistic than I've seen in other movies. Very similar to Sarah Connors reactions in Terminator. Excellent actress, hope she appears more frequently in the series.
I am guessing this series will make a departure from the Gilliam movie which I thought was good but the overdone naivety of Bruce Willis's character really annoyed the hell out of me. I hope this series version doesnt do the same to me!
This episode suggests some Looper style rules (ie the watch scratching thing). I dont recall the film version implementing such a rule. Because this series has now gone onto third season, I am going to predict that this series will not be a nonsensical reaction causing effect style loop, simply because it is nigh on impossible to maintain consistency for that in an ongoing series that relies on ratings for survival! So implementing iterative Looper style time travel effects is a smart way to go.
You guys would already know the answer anyway, I am playing serious catchup!
And for US viewers - news just announced yesterday, 12 Monkeys Season 3 returns with 4 episodes on same night, May 19, with 3 episodes on May 20 and another 3 on May 21 to complete the third season. And the fourth season, in 2018 in the U.S., will be its last.
Ew, I don't like that they did that. I guess they think people will binge watch like Netflix and Hulu etc.
Here's an updated look on Omni at 12 Monkeys, revving up for its return next month https://omni.media/roll-out-those-laz...
Honestly, I just get more and more confused as I watch this show. I have one more episode to watch, and I hope it all gets pulled together for me.

Ok- it is not just me-good to know!
