The Series didn't really hook in me so I won't be reading the rest of them!
I don't think I've ever fist-pumped more than I did with this episode.
This was one of the better chapters as of late. The group is finally back together again. We see, without a doubt, that there is a difference between caretakers and keepers, there's a battle, Oz goes crazy, action, hugs. I really enjoyed this one a lot and can't wait to see where this goes.
In this episode, we finally see the two groups come together in an all-out war to rescue those trapped within Sanctuary. The keepers from the last episode are holding up their side of the bargain, and are putting up a serious fight against Oz’s puppets. Because everything is coming to a head, we’re also starting to see multiple POVs. In this episode, we ‘hear’ from Inez, Holden, Navaeh, Sunita, May, Hyrum, and Sebastian! This episode had the most POVs of any episode so far, and it really worked out well given how the two groups are coming together with no knowledge of what’s happened to the other group. This is also the first time the two groups have really been together for this whole season. I was also very happy to hear just a little bit from Sebastian in this episode which, if I recall correctly, is the first time we’ve heard from him. And, as a side note: Poor Umta :(
I will also admit, I hadn’t thought at all about how the Sanctuary group were going to react to re-remade Jing-Wei, and I’m looking forward to seeing how that plays out over the next few episodes. After the high action in this episode, I anticipate much more action to follow as the teens arm themselves against Oz and ready themselves for battle.
All-in-all I believe this has been my favorite episode so far, which probably is mostly to do with the fact that things are finally coming to a climax. But, still, anxiously awaiting the next episode!
