raven July 28, 2017 Author Share July 28, 2017 Except for Abe being sad, there was so much hilarity in this episode. The Shepherd hiding into the car, going into the volcano, followed by the hybrids who apparently don't mind flying right into volcanic heat. I like the new Jamie, but I reallly like the Mitch/Logan team up, though Logan's mustache still offends. So much snark, so little time. Mitch put a dead person's finger in his MOUTH and Logan put a dead person's contact lens/decryptor doohickey from the dead eye to his OWN eye. YUCK. Jackson going full on mind control with the hybrids; unfortunately, so can Abigail, but it did give us the gloriously fake shot of the hybrids dragging her away. Ugh, Jackson's GF is back. Can't she be eaten?? Have the hybrids eaten anyone this season? A hybrid spoke Jackson's name, is that a former person in there? 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/59865-s03e05-drop-it-like-its-hot/#findComment-3497910
ottoDbusdriver July 28, 2017 Share July 28, 2017 (edited) That is the funniest thing I've seen on this show. Jackson, Abe and Dariela are flying the beacon to Mexico and plan to drop it back into the volcano. For some reason the plane is having issues, there is an electrical short and Mansdale escapes from his cell in the belly of the plane. He gets to the car park and tries to get a gun but hears someone coming and hides in the Mustang. Jackson and Abe put the beacon in the trunk of the Mustang and push the Mustang out the back of the plane and into the volcano -- and the plan works as all the winged hybrids follow the Mustang. And just as they are pushing the Mustang out of the plan, Jamie tells Mitch that she needs Mansdale. Whoops !! How in the hell did Tessa get from Portland to the Yucatan ..... driving ... in 2 days, maybe ? And just happen to turn on an emergency beacon in the shadow of the hybrid-initiated volcano ? But how do we know she's a witch ? I have a laundry list of Monty Python quotes that could apply here. Jackson's ex-girlfriend had the baby fever, but Oz Senior killed her dream. Jackson has a dead wife and son, at the age of 19 -- so who was the wife/mother ? That never came up in the first 2 seasons. I'm amazed that cell coverage is so awesome in the Yucatan, next to an erupting volcano. The ash CGI at the top of the screen when Jackson and Tessa get to the witch's village is so bad -- it's literally dots superimposed across the top of the shot, inclduing beside the truck. WTF ? And the symbol on the witch's front door matches the funky symbol on the beacon doo-hicky. Abigail apparently murdered a cab driver, and drove all the way to HUDSON NEW YORK -- and decides to go for a walk in the woods, still bleeding from her gunshot wound. Jackson and Tessa are led by the witch to see Abendegos -- who turns out to be a tusked hybrid man/gorilla that can talk locked in a trailer guarded by two guys. And he said Jackson's name. Mitch and Logan try to prove Jamie's innocence by decrypting a file from the Reiden CEO's tablet -- using the fingerprint from her corpse. Only it doesn't work since the corpse is cold so Mitch warms up the dead CEO's finger by sucking on it. Logan gets the pleasure of putting the dead CEO's contact lens in to decrypt the file which doesn't exonerate Jamie but does tell the tale of a failed company that made something called Melvatox B. Is Melvatox B the new Mother Cell ? And Reiden is feeding Melvatox B to the kids that were kidnapped for fertility testing ? Reiden Global really is evil. After Jackson/Tessa are captured, Jackson calls a herd of lions -- while at the exact same time Abigail manages to control a pack of razorback wolves that is roaming the forests of upstate New York. How did razorback wolves get to New York ? Did they run from Ann Arbor, Michigan ? And the wolves start to drag Abigail off to who knows where. And Dariela explains to Abe that it is time for divorce -- once everything plays out and they save the world. But Abe just glosses over that because he has discovered that Clem's baby is the miracle child with the cure for human TX sterility. Clem gets handed off to 'the Gentleman', and after a sonogram we find out that Clem's baby will be auctioned to the highest bidder, starting at $80 million.

Pretty sure it was Clem that was being auctioned off, which, if I'm correct, could mean that the baddies are understandably valuing her for her fertility, but Abe deduces that it is the baby that has unique, human race-saving properties.

This being CBS tho I'm doubtful) to be fair Jackson's ex was all right as well... Mitch was just petty and over snarky.. Abe was mad then sad then just moved on to praising Clem and her uber baby..

"Of course they did." That was great. She didn't even seem surprised. Though why would she be, really? Mitch's method of warming up Leanne's finger was actually fairly typical behaviour for him. It's certainly not the first unsavoury thing he's put in his mouth over the run of the series; he tasted a makeshift anesthetic concoction near the end of season 1 (his rationale was "it's for science") and in season 2, he swallowed some snake poison in order to prove it wasn't harmful to humans. So...par for the course. But the wink at Logan as he did it...that was perfection. Billy Burke is an absolute treasure.

thuganomics85 July 29, 2017 Share July 29, 2017 Jackson, Abe, and Dariela accidentally dropping Mansdale into the volcano with the car was so wrong, but so hilarious. Especially everyone's response to it. Basically, everyone's reaction was "Well, that was unfortunate!", like they just broke a vase or something. Honestly, I was waiting for Jaime to be more upset about the Mustang. Mitch, I love you, but sometimes your snarky simply crosses into pettiness, and that has to stop, please. Other then that, the Mitch/Logan pairing was hilarious, complete with Mitch sucking on Leanne's dead finger, in order to use her fingerprint to access the tablet. Classic Mitch! I guess I should feel bad about Abe and Dariela, but I kind of don't? I don't remember them mentioning at all that Jackson used to be married and he lost both his wife and his child. Weird. Abigail also has the animals controlling powers Jackson has. Finale is totally going to be just a big braw between Abigail's Army of Animals vs. Jackson's.... Jamboree of J-Critters? Clementine has now been taken to some place where she's going to get auction off. Uh oh?
