Before It All Happened – Fiona, Keman, Avi
“Scavengers Reign” begins to connect the dots regarding how everyone knew each other. For example, Azi and Fiona knew each other since Fiona designed or modified Levi. From what it appears, outside of Fiona’s relationship with Keman, she handled robotics for the fleet of Levis on the ship.
Regrets To Murder – Keman
From what it appears, Kamen had a role in everything that happened. It isn’t 100% clear how yet, but it seems as the engineer he did or didn’t do something, and that led to the circumstances he is in. This creates a lot of regrets and maybe some self-hatred that Keman pours into trying to survive and appease the alien, who is either his ally or puppet master.
It’s hard to say, but we know that the alien is eating well due to Keman improving as a hunter.
Ego and Curiosity – Sam, Ursula
While Sam and Ursula appear to make a good team, Sam sometimes grows tired of Ursula’s curiosity and how it slows them down. Which leads to Ursula, to some surprise, making it clear she can survive without Sam, not the other way around, which may come as a surprise.
After all, Sam was getting the escape pods together to create the beacon to bring the ship down, and Ursula almost died a few times already. But, despite what we have observed, it seems Sam is forced to admit Ursula is more capable than the show has, thus far, let on.
Review
Notable Performances or Moments
The Design Of The Aliens
One thing I perhaps can’t praise enough is the aliens. Whether ones we’ve consistently seen, like Keman’s little friend, to the various ones Azi, Sam, and Ursula encounter, we’re seeing some of the most inventive beings. I’d even submit, even with not being a huge sci-fi fan, I find myself immensely interested in the biology, capabilities, and even patterns of these beings.
Eventually, we are likely to make a character guide for this, but one thing I’d love to see and will seek out is the official take on what is what. For having a “Fantastic Beasts” type approach to “Scavengers Reign,” where we get an encyclopedia, would be cool.
Highlights
We’re Beginning To Connect The Dots
Until now, we had three separate stories going on that we knew were connected in some way, but it was hard to say how. Now, with Azi and Fiona interacting, and then Keman, we’re pushed to believe that these weren’t people who existed separately, on different parts of the ship, and were total strangers. There are connections, relationships, and maybe even issues, between them, which can complicate their reuniting.
