Citadel - Time Renders Us Enemies / Time Renders Us Enemies

After giving us the hard sell on Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) as the mole who brought down Citadel, the final two episodes clear her leaving only one real suspect. “Time Renders Us Enemies” focuses on flashbacks showing the romance between Nadia and Mason Kane (Richard Madden), the secret that broke their trust, and what she was really up to after disappearing from Citadel. All the little clues which seemed to point to her betrayal are explained away as her hiding a pregnancy from Mason.

Echo - Tuklo

Repercussions of Maya Lopez‘s (Alaqua Cox) recent actions begin to reverberate in “Tuklo” as Vickie (Thomas E. Sullivan) and his idiot white trash friends (Lindsey Moser and Erin Ownbey) attempt to sell Maya to the foot soldiers of the Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) who arrive in town leading to a shoot-out in the bowling alley. “Tuklo” also brings Maya face-to-face with Bonnie (Devery Jacobs) for the first time in years, and later with the one person she never expected to ever see again. The episode’s title comes from another ancestor (Dannie McCallum) of Maya as the sole female member of the Lighthorsemen. The sequence, framed as an old silent movie, is fun but, as with all of these flashbacks, still feels very disconnected from current events.

Varsity Blues

In West Canaan, Texas a back-up quarterback who cares more about his friends and his Ivy League scholarship than the weekly game gets thrown into the spotlight after the starter goes down. Earning more than three times its budget and holding the #1 spot at the box office for two weeks in January of 1999, Varsity Blues may not have been a runaway hit, but it did well enough to catch interest.

Dragons: The Nine Realms - Uncharted Territory

Offering another example of Tom (Jeremy Shada) getting carried away and pushing the team more than he should, “Uncharted Territory” also allows for bonding between Alex (Aimee Garcia) and Eugene (Vincent Tong), when they are separated from their dragons in a blizzard in the Cold Realm, and between Feathers and Webmaster who work together to survive until they are found. While I reject the premise that Alex is an outsider to the group at this point in the series, the pairings of humans and dragons works well enough to give Eugene and his dragons more allies in the group. “Uncharted Territory” is also notable for its epilogue in which Tom discovers he can unlock the capsule using one of the horns on his Viking helmet leading to another discovery.

Echo - Lowak

The second episode of Echo is most notable for Maya Lopez‘s (Alaqua Cox) rather ridiculous stunt placing explosives on a moving train (are you telling me this was the easiest method?). The stunt is done well enough, but it takes more than a little disbelief (along with totally oblivious guards working for a man who would kill them for their ineptitude) that you’ll have to overlook in order to accept it. It also puts everyone she’s ever loved in danger, which is perplexing as we learn there were plenty of stops along the rail line which she could have targeted rather than her home town and her choice only furthers the chance of danger finding her family.
