12 Monkeys Uncaged

Athan Cole certainly does not seem to be amenable to the future laid out before him, and in the 12 Monkeys episode, Thief, we see his avoidance strategy. Told brilliantly through Cole's and Cassie's reading of his journals, a love story unfolds that explains it all, including why someone might want to pursue the eternal now promised by the Red Forest.

The tough choice is made as the brothers, Cole and Ramse, go head-to-head in the latest 12 Monkeys episode appropriately titled Brothers.

Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for Mother, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Cole's desperation, Jones' indulgence, Hannah's volatility, Cassie's rebellion, and the role of those in Titan charged with the Mother's care. Read more...
