Didn't get a chance to watch this season yet... I really hate the time period it is in.
Yep, it is at 8PM (too early) and then at 12AM (too late)... fortunately you can watch on syfy.com if you have cable subscription

Seems the series is actually getting better over time. Loved the ground hog day theme from the last episode.

The second season has actually been really good. I thought the first season took a while to find its bearings, then it did something weird in the middle. This second season has been really focused.

They saved the girl when she was younger, but, then they told her that she was dead, but, how exactly did they pull this off?
I mean, you would think the mother would make sure the girl was dead, and then have a funeral and whatever else, so.... it just leaves more questions now, than before.

I'm guessing that because they thought she had the virus, there was a strict quarantine thing where she couldn't see the body and it was immediately burned.

Person responsible for the corpse probably thought someone else took care of it?

What was the point of this last episode? It seemed to be some filler episode waiting for the finale next week.
The Red Storm is at their door now...

Hmm, looks like I was a bit off, we got 1 more filler episode to try to tie up some loose ends, then the finale.

12 "Blood Washed Away" July 11, 2016
13 "Memory of Tomorrow" July 18, 2016

couple good last episodes again, last one felt so much like a finale I had to check to see if there were more to come.

There are two more episodes. I'm not hearing anything about 3rd season, so I hope it wraps up this year on a high note.

I think it would almost be impossible to have a 3rd season that have lost over 50% of their audience.

Yeah, I am shocked it got renewed!
The ratings were pretty bad.
First off, how did she get back in the apartment after being unconscious for 6 months?
The scene at the end, it better not be their child that makes all this happen.

That was my thought as well (your spoiler comment). Tonight I guess we shall see.

Last episode I was almost sure they were going to drop Cole as the Witness for a moment when she found him at the house. then they started wiping out everyone we know in "present day" should make this an interesting finale.

So, was that...

World War I footage recycled from the original 12 Monkeys movie?

Regardless, pretty well used.

grumble... who didn't see that one coming for the witness? I even said they better not do that, but, just to spite me, they did. :p I am wondering though, did they have another ending planned in case it wasn't going to be renewed (which amazingly enough it was)?
I guess we will have time paradoxes galore in 2017 when this returns.

Yeah not a clue as to why they are doing it that way. Maybe to satisfy the binge crowd, see if that can bring in larger crowds? Did they say if this was the final season. I feel like I read that but not sure...
