    I was a bit disappointed by the Plains Nation. I was expecting it to be a whole new world, just like there's a stark contrast between the Monroe Republic and the Georgia Federation. Instead, the town they showed was just a place filled with street vendors, which is exactly how they depicted Pontiac, Illinois, the town that we see in episode 2, where Miles is trying to find Nora. Although the town they showed in this episode was also in Illinois, so maybe the the lifestyle is pretty similar on the two sides of the border, but as they go further into the Plains Nation we'll see bigger differences.

    And the resolution to the plot thread of Aaron's wife was too neat and tidy. By saying that she has a new family, and saying that the family is in danger, they're forcing her to go off to Texas, so they've basically closed off that story. It seems useless to bring back Priscilla just to get rid of her permanently.

    I didn't really like them randomly introducing the whole thing with Emma, but I liked the ending: Miles and Monroe's enmity has intensifiied, because they each blame the other one for Emma's death. And now the search is on for Monroe's son. I'm guessing that his mother told him that Monroe is his dead, so this may be interesting. His son may make him behave better.



    The reveal of Neville wasn't too much of a shock for me, because from the time Neville ran away with his wife I was expecting him to join the rebels. By the way, something that's been annoying me since the show has returned is that they' seem to have lost all sense of distance. Characters seem to now travel from point A to point B in no time, when before it would take days or weeks to get to a different state.


    One last thing: did anyone else notice that the previous episode was titled "The Night the Lights went out in Georgia", but they never showed the actual night the lights went out in Georgia? Is it supposed to be a metaphor, like the hope of all the people went out when Monroe put the ultimatum of a nuclear bomb? Personally, I think I would have found it more interesting to see the aftermath of the Blackout in Georgia rather than the story of that soldier Alec that Miles had trained.

    Really, Aaron? You abandoned her more than a decade ago and you're surprised that Priscilla has moved on? Hel-loooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

    I agree with you, but I think they will show more of the Plains Nation in the future.

    Anyone knows if Texas is like a safe heaven of some sorts?? They mentioned Texas twice and not once we found out what's so important of Texas that they had to mention it twice lol

    It was okay to watch for the action, but it was all frankly rather pointless. What was the point of the whole thing of going to Bas and Miles' hometown and introducing us to Emma only to kill her off? And the awful scenes with the terrible lookalike teen versions of themselves kissing and cuddling like something out of some teen drama. The only thing that came out of the whole thing was that Monroe has a son.

    And did we really need to see Priscilla? As far as Aaron was concerned she was gone anyway, so it wasn't really a loose end that needed tying up. In fact, did we really need to see Aaron and Rachel at all in this episode? They made absolutely zero progress in their little sidequest.

    The point of Emma was
    1. Parallel the other people in Miles life (He just lost Danny, Alec, and he thinks he might loose Rachel, now he lost Emma too, who represents missed opportunities of a life not lived) and to foreshadow upcoming events between Miles, Nora, & Rachel.

    2. To give us a game changer and set up some things for season 2. Emma's son may change things for Bass (and the other characters for better or for worse, but the episode highlighted the Monroe generations.

    3. We come to realize that for Bass "home" might not have ever been a good place to begin with and it continues to be a place of loss...

    About Aaron's story:
    1. Again this is about unrequited love as all the things in "Kashmir" are continueing to play out. Like Emma, Priscilla "moved on"

    2. And her association with Steve the bounty hunter and Texas are things relating back to Nora, who IMO is not going to make it to the next season, as her hallucination sequence was a big unknown "alligator metaphor" paralleling Maggie's death -being bitten in the leg by an animal)

    3. Now that Priscilla has moved on, we can move on to whatever Aaron's story is going to be and see what else that hallucination means, as part of it that was not addressed her was the idea that Aaron might have feelings for Charlie...

    You have some interesting insights, but apart from the thing with Emma's son (which is a gamechanger I'll agree), I couldn't really care about the other stuff with Emma. I'm always skeptical when a character we've never even heard of before is suddenly introduced for the sole purpose of dying.

    Regarding Aaron, I wish they had moved on with whatever his story is going to be since, oh I dunno, episode one. He is by far the weakest character and all we really know about him is that he worked for Google and once had an Asian wife. I get that he has regrets and misses her a lot, but that will always be the case regardless of this 'goodbye Priscilla' episode. He desperately needs either to be killed off, or to get a decent bit of storyline. Luckily for him, with Season 1 coming to a close and he and Rachel coming to the Tower, I do think there is something meaty in store for his character. But I wouldn't be surprised if he also doesn't make it to the end of the season finale.



    These hallucinations you mention. Are you referring to the hallucinations they had when they were in those underground tunnels and running out of oxygen? I guess I need to rewatch them.

    I would agree that it isn't my favorite episode of the season, but I don't think it's the last we'll see of Emma, especially if her son would become a series regular.

    And yes I am referring to the hallucination sequences (and near death experience -Charlie) in the subway tunnels during the episode "KASHMIR".

    This episode IMO is just important in terms of connecting plots and themes, but outside of that it didn't move the story forward very much.

    Not as good as last week's imo, but still good. I liked the twist of Miles having a son and I also liked the final twist of Tom. The Aaron scenes I didn't care for, and I could have done without the flashbacks

    Am I the only one who was kind of intrigued/annoyed about how much the young version of Emma looks alike with Charlie?
