12 Monkeys (TV Series) Paradox (2015) User Reviews

A Past Reunion!

[g-bodyl · 9/10 · 27 April 2015]

This is the twelfth episode of the first season of 12 Monkeys. I also thought this was one of the best episodes this season because of the emotional connection the episode makes and the race against time to keep Cole away from the Army. The episode also explores the past and it answers some questions regarding Cole's young family life. It also helps we get to see a younger Jones in 2015 time.

In this episode, "Paradox," Cole is suffering side effects from splintering, so Railly must find a younger Jones to help Cole before the Army of the 12 Monkeys do so. In the process, Cole ends up meeting his father....once again.

Overall, this is one of the best episodes this season. It is not only action-packed, but it has an emotional core, something that the series was lacking on a regular basis. We are one episode away from the end of the season, so I cannot wait to see what happens next.

My Grade: A.

Paradox but not first time,

Paradox but not first time,

Because before there were two james at same place. But this episode is called paradox probably because young james's blood came into future james and created paradox.

I could not understand why james put that needle himself and it exploded. And probably killed those people, palled man? Why cassie and katarina did not take father and james with them? Why did james give gun to his father just like saying "die while saving me"? Those parts were nonsense. James maybe did because he remembers like that.

And how did that paradox destroy returning back to future? I could not get it..

Too sad moments while james saw how he met ramsey.. He could stop that meeting maybe, but then timeline would change and maybe would not survive.

I see now how katarina knew how cole would not return back in 2043, she said in last episode. Because she saw in past it.

I also did not understand why whitley carried the head.

I have lots of questions :( but i realized one question from first episodes, why palled man did not kill in past because he did not want to change timeline.

And i did not understand why that woman tries to touch ramsey, as if she likes him.
