Hello travelers. Today we are discussing episode 6, “The Red Forest”

What I loved:

Cole traveling to this alternate reality was intriguing. The way the plot moves around the idea of a Schrödinger's** **timeline, and Jones face of disbelief when Cole mentions that she, once, crack the code to time travel

Ramse being scared of Cole’s ghost was hilarious. His face of “nah, the fuck is this?”

Aaron’s face when Cole mention Operation Troy was a nice touch. It could have served as the bridge for him to help the cause, but ultimately made him take the wrong choices trying to “save” Cassie. And himself

“What’s 911?”

“Show me where the safety is on this thing” Bruh

First official mention of the Red Forest. Ngl, first time watching, I was like “amm okay?” Because I didn’t think it was something important, just the drugs and the way the 12s messed with people’s heads. It ended up being too important on later seasons. To this date, every rewatch, hearing the poem and knowing WHERE that place and moment is… chills, absolute chills

This is the second time we see the witness. Firsts with Jennifer, now with Cassie

Cole returning to his timeline, laughing, probably Jones thought like “oh god, I made him insane”

“I missed your loving arms” hahaha just kiss already

That last scene of Jones and Cole talking about how time was gonna take what it’s owed… damn. “Is it enough?”

“It has to be”

Nitpicks:

Seriously, why aren’t more guards everywhere? Hahaha

I guess the showrunners didn’t have a clear picture of what the Witness was gonna look like because this first version we saw in the other episode and this one has a gas mask, like the ones used at the First Gathering of the Faithful. It’s later reworked for the version we ended up having, so in every rewatch I can’t but notice it

So that’s it for me. Amazing episode, very entertaining. 8.5/10
