Ep 6 - did I miss something ?


Just watched Episode 6 and while it was all well and good, what the hell happened?? Did I miss something between the end of Ep 5 (when they left the diner) and the start of Ep 6? In Ep 6, when the survivors infiltrate the weapons stash place..how the hell did they do that? How did they know where to go, what to do etc? How did they know where the weapons were etc? The ‘plan’ just seemed a little too complex with no explanation.

Sorry for all the question marks, I just can’t get my head around it.

Enjoying this by the way.

I believe Manny and Carmen had previous knowledge of the facility and perhaps stayed there for a while. This is implied in some dialogue while at the diner. Something along the lines of, I know where we can get firepower etc. I think Carmen may have been raped or abused there also judging by her actions. Regardless, I thought the plan seemed way too complex for the skill level of the group members even if they knew exactly where to go or what to do.

Ahh yeah I remember Carmen saying that now, yes that explains a lot. Thanks.

Saying that though it was still asking a lot of the audience. I enjoyed the episode though, like I have all the others.

Another question - why did Carmen kiss Manny twice? Once upon entering the facility and once upon leaving. Maybe a good luck thing or something?

I honestly felt like the episode was out of place. None of these people, with the exception of Spears, really seemed to be able to handle themselves in a crazy stressful situation prior to the heist episode. Then all of sudden we have them going in to this foreign building like seasoned mercenaries and Sun stabbing the guard guy, when she was barely able to do anything before, just didn't feel right. Maybe because we didn't see any of the planning of it, that it felt too far fetched for this group; at least for me.

Overall I enjoyed the series even though there were some really annoying parts, AKA every scene with Lance lol. I would watch a second season though.

I have no idea why she kissed him twice. Maybe foreshadowing?

You are not alone, I found Ep 6 too far fetched as well. Like I said though I enjoyed it too. I would definitely watch a second season also.

I'll have you know Sun levelled up in episode 5 with her potato sack.

reply

LOL.....but it does seem something clicked for her at the diner. Maybe she realized she has to be more aggressive.

This is a ridiculous episode. I still can’t figure out why blond lady went. Did they know she would be separated? It all seemed like a way of getting stupid grocery store/non door closing guy back into the fold. Nothing here made any sense.
