Tomorrow

This is the ninth episode of the first season of 12 Monkeys. I thought it was a very good episode. The story still jumps around, but this is an origin episode of sort where we get to see how all of this began, including the mission Cole is on. There is plenty of action to be had and on the whole, makes for an interesting episode.

In this episode, "Tomorrow," Cole is accidentally sent to 2017 where he is trapped during the height of the plague, but he nonetheless tries to make communication with Railly. We get to see in 2041 where Cole and Ramses runs into Jones for the first time. Finally, in 2043, Ramses escorts Elena to safety when Jones infiltrates Spearhead in order to take the Core by force.

Overall, this was a very good, action-packed episode. There was hardly a boring moment, and were a few dramatic moments as well. We are nearing the end, and I am thinking we could be seeing some plot shifts soon enough.

My Grade: A

I love this show, and that's why I've watched it full several times. But whenever I come to this episode and watch it I feel really bad. Because there are too many mistakes and discrepencies in this episode. Cassandra's question to Cole that 'did he find Red Forest' is also entirely illogical, as never the entire series they were trying to find a red forest.

This is also the main episode for which I keep hating Ramse for the rest of the series. It wouldn't have been bad if his character would have been used as a villain or semi-villain in the series. But their decision to transform him later on as a good person really delivers anger whenever I rewatch this episode of the show (and the anger for him keeps increasing until the end of the season.) He calls Cole selfish, while Cole has done nothing but sacrifices for him. Whereas he himself is an extremely selfish person who first pushed Cole into risking his life in using the machine and now is trying to stop him without logical reasoning.
