As this series draws towards its conclusion things on the planet Carpathia are getting even weirder than they were before; a group of three expeditionary soldiers have gone missing and after a long search one of them is found. She claims that ACs attacked them and she is the sole survivor. Something isn't quite right however; she looks like Josie Hunter the lost soldier but her behaviour is slightly wrong; so much so that her son doesn't believe it is her. It looks as if this apparently insane idea is correct when Stella receives a radio call from Josie claiming to be in the desert several miles from camp. To complicate matters the ACs infiltrate Forthaven in an attempt to kill Jack.

This was another decent episode which once again raised plenty of questions about the nature of Carpathia; I may be proved wrong in later episodes but at this point it looks as if the planet is some how trying to communicate with them in a way not that dissimilar to the Soviet Sci-Fi classic 'Solaris'. Juliet Aubery was good as Josie, managing to appear almost normal but not quite. The plot involving Julius also advances; it is now quite clear that his motives are far from pure as he wishes to eliminate the ACs and is communicating with another ship claiming that he is in a position to depose President Tate.

Episode #1.6

I kind of feel sad to see this kind of episodes in a series that at the same time still seems so promising.

While the idea of the episode isn't so bad, it would have to be done really good to be successful, because let's face it, it has been done in many shows before.

Unfortunately, it wasn't done good. It was full of clichés (a soldier coming back and falling on her knees before the city wall,phrases like "my job is to protect the city, what is right is for others to decide", mother's love for children) and bad acting.

Again, at the end they tease us with a good storyline to come, but I wish they would have it in the episode itself
