Will, Broussard, Amy and Bram work together to kidnap a high ranking IGA officer.

Huh.  So I guess Bram didn't drink the Kool Aid.

Nope he's still squarely team human.... Di wish they'd stop dragging out the broussard /Katie reunion... 10 episodes for my fav pairing to share scenes is ridiculous

Too bad the IGA didn't check hotel security footage and see Amy enter with Will and leave with Broussard. 

After these past episodes with crazy Will the payoff should have been him killing Snyder tonight no matter what he said. The writers put themselves in a corner.

Josh Holloway and Peter Jacobson delivered with their scene.

Shouldn't Bram have been outside walking the streets instead of hanging out in the hotel? Security should have been suspicious of him just hanging around the lobby.

Snyder must have been practicing his underwater breath holding technique while being chauffeured around town. Well done.

I don't think Kynes stole the bullet proof sheet from the host.

What an intense episode.  I figured that Will would let Snyder go-but was holding my breath anyway.  Now they can start working together to find out what's happening in Seattle.

[UNOSEZ]

Is this season 13 episodes... Cuz if so they've taken too long to get everything in motion 

[Dowel Jones]

I pretty much figured Snyder would walk as soon as they changed the plan to hold him locally.  Wonderful move, though, making him sit, and eventually trying to drown him, on a toilet bowl.  How appropriate.

I do think that plan is fatally flawed, though.  IGA knows who Dalton/Bowman is, though, and they should know who Bram is.  Now he's seen and documented checking into a hotel, and the ubiquitous corridor cameras would pick up Snyder walking into that same room.  And the Community Patrol would have a record as to who was supposed to be on patrol downtown that night, and would question why it was changed and with whom.  All of this is holding by one slim thread:  Snyder didn't rat them out immediately after showing up in the lobby.  He knows he has an ace up his sleeve, now that he knows who kidnapped him.  They belong to him, not the other way around.  Is he going to use them against Proxy Brady?

Why isn't there more of a hoopla over the killing of the other IGA guy and the theft of the suitcase?  That had to have had some repercussions.

When Broussard mentioned the fact that the drones didn't always kill people, was he implying that Bowman is a candidate to be an outlier?

I don't see any way in which the resistance succeeds here.  They may have been doing okay in LA, but it has winnowed down to just Broussard and Amy, basically harassing individuals.  They don't have any clear plan and apparently little open support in Seattle.  It sounds like the bulk of humanity has thrown in the towel in return for the relative peace of Seattle.

Both of them are( will on the wall with Charlie.. And Broussard on the roof after the raid on the red hand) both times the drones had them dead to rights but didn't hurt them..they killed everything else around but not them... Outliers appear to be ppl(mainly special ops type soldiers)  who the hosts have taken to do something to... I think change them in some way to create a super-human army... Cuz they box em up in those pods and pump in that green stuff I've seen them vomit up on a few occasions

Toilet bowls don't hold water.  Not that much, anyway.

There was also the time that one of them somehow got into that SUV in LA and saw pictures of Will and Broussard on a 'do not kill' list on the computer.

I was surprised to see Bram in on the plot to kidnap Snyder. Guess they still trust him even though he's in that neighborhood watch group.

So outliers are called that because they're at the far end of the curve. Percentage-wise there wouldn't be many and they'd tend to be a lot alike. However, now that so many "normal" people have been killed the outliers probably represent a significantly more dangerous factor relative to the regular human population, especially after they get "enhanced" with the green goop.

Will, you're going to regret not killing Snyder when you had the chance. He'll make sure of it eventually.

That's how it came across to me. Guess that'll be the next mission: Will and/or Broussard infiltrate(s) the outliers, possibly with an assist from Snyder.

[Haleth]

That was some intense stuff with Will and Snyder.  I was gagging thinking about how much of that filthy water Snyder was sucking up. :P  I hope Wayne Brady has a whole lot of antibiotics in his castle.

I'm surprised that Will is an outlier (except plot wise it makes sense).  You'd think the aliens would only want younger guys, not a middle aged dad.  Bram instead of Will.  But perhaps it's his military experience they are interested in.

And maybe hook up with that guy that almost escaped?

Will clogged it before he dumped the water in so that it would hold that much water.

Yes of course and he himself is one too.  Didn't he face down a drone who also didn't kill him?  If outliers are basically military personnel then it stands to reason Broussard would have been picked too.  I guess he was CIA or Special Forces or something.  Will was FBI wasn't he?

Will was an Army Ranger who became a FBI Agent, Broussard an US Marine, I don't recall if he was said to be in special operations/Recon/Scout-Sniper as a Marine.  He was close to Katie's father the Admiral and who later became a private contractor who probably did work for the CIA

I thought he joined them so that he would have better opportunities fo the resistance, I just didn't see his dad being in on it. They all seemed so separate, and stand-offish. I'm surprised he got the job, though, considering they knew who he was.
