The season finale has come and gone, Colonists! Where'd We End Up: LA Bloc: Rendered The Bowmans: On cruise control in a stolen Escalade (cuz why not?) outside the LA bloc. They weren't specific if they were in another bloc or if they were outside the entire colony. All five Bowmans were present and accounted for. Alan Snyder: With the Bowmans, in the backseat of the Escalade. He has basically covered himself and his survivability 3 different ways: 1. Staff job with Helena 2. Exiting with the Bowmans and 3. Arranging to return the gauntlet to the IGA. It's not cool, but it can't be said he's not looking out for number one. Maddie: On the way to the factory. She gambled by siding with Nolan and abandoning her family. She lost in lip-splitting fashion. See you from the moon, Maddie! Helena: On her way to the IGA. What's it called when you get promoted after a disaster? Failing up? Broussard: Flying solo, saying he's going to stay in the bloc. Listen to the podcast for Caroline's alternate theories on how Broussard might actually spend the near future. Morgan: Dead. Sorry. We had to meet a quota on major-minor deaths. Bob: Alive again! I guess the hosts CAN apply medical expertise to those they can get evil deeds out of when they want to. Catch us next week as we move on from Colony and cover The Leftovers' final season!

Spoiler warnings: I reference Battlestar Galactica and 12 Monkeys in this episode and give away some pretty awesome plot points as ways of drawing parallels between this episode and those other shows. Look out! Potential bird-themed resistance leaders of the LA bloc take note: the Cardinal followed Quayle into great beyond this week. Even with Total Rendition now in the near future, you were probably looking at a short tenure anyway. As Caroline points out in the podcast, this episode featured a lot of meetings. Alcala meeting Nolan. Helena meeting Alcala. Snyder meeting Nolan. Snyder meeting Maddie. Helena meeting Snyder. Brobow meeting Karen. Whew. So many meetings! No wonder the Brobow crew had to go freaking postal at the end of the episode! A special recognition award in the field of sliminess should be given to Nolan for the timing he allowed the Red Hats to apprehend Maddie. He gave a new meaning to "one for the road" with his celebration of kicking Hudson out of the house (what else could he have been so excited about?). Overall, for an episode meant to get people moved into certain positions and dominoes about to fall, it was very satisfying thanks to the big action piece at the end.

Our dumb pooch from last week's podcast gets his own episode in the week's "Lost Boy". And what does he do with it? He makes his character deeper and harder to figure out mostly. He also kills a guy and lies to his parents about it. Spoiler Alert. This episode borrows its narrative style from things like Pulp Fiction to pretty dramatic effect. The big fat reveal (the fate of King) is all wrapped up in the disjointed timeline and works well to keep us guessing about Bram's mental and emotional states. Less writing this week... Let's just get to the podcast, mmm-kay? Don't forget to sign the petition to renew the show found here: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/renewcolonynow . There's a part AFTER you sign the petition where the site asks for money to support the petition site itself. You've already signed the petition at that point, so you can just close the page, navigate away, or whatever your proclivities are. I didn't give them any money, and don't feel strongly that you should either. I just wanted to make it clear that we know about the money part, have nothing to do with it, and it's ok to ignore it. Does anyone else think Bram has ever handled a pair of hedge clippers based on the picture below?

We have one member of the Bowman clan, Maddie, doing everything she can to stay out of enemy crosshairs and another, Bram, doing everything he can to stay firmly inside them. This week, Maddie had to make a choice between a life with Nolan, the Green Zone, status, and perceived safety -and- her sister Katie. She didn't even think twice. From Maddie's point of view, Katie put her in harm's way when she stole the file from Nolan's computer. It's not like she -wants- Katie to burn... But it's turned into one of those "it's better her than me," situations for her. Whether or not her conscience will rise up in her and cause her to change course is anyone's guess, but I think things in the Green Zone would need to get a LOT worse before that happens. The Big 3 (Will, Katie, and Broussard) all had an action-oriented misadventure where we got see Will mow down a couple Blackjack enforcers and a Blackjack Lieutenant use human technology to control a drone strike. Will wants to leave more than ever now, but Broussard, having just learned that Will appears on an international Wanted List, insists on laying low. Their difference in opinion is only getting started. Bram is a headache. In flashbacks and early season one episodes we get the sense that he's been a headache for a while. Now, after just returning home from a stint at the labor camp, he jets as soon as no one is looking. That's the crap a headache of a person would pull. I don't get the sense he's planning on coming back at this point. He's allowed himself to be sucked in by this season's mastermind: The Cardinal (aka Karen, aka Frankie's mom). Listen to the podcast as Caroline explains Bram's headspace as a person with survivor's guilt AND get Caroline's review of the techniques abusers use to groom their victims. This is the same stuff the Cardinal does to Bram. COLONY -- "The Garden of Beasts" Episode 210 -- Pictured: Bethany Joy Lenz as Morgan -- (Photo by: Isabella Vosmikova/USA Network)

The jig is officially up on the Bowmans' double life. They had a sense about it when the day started, but what else could they do except play along? Will bobs and weaves super effectively though. He picked up his tail, he led the red-hats away from Katie and Broussard, and he used the pilot to stall for time until a refreshing, orange opportunity presented itself. That guy is good. The introduction of the pilot and her people opens up the show quite a bit. Previously this season we found out about the larger Global Authority government. Now, we've seen that there are also resistance groups on the the other side of the wall. This raises all kinds of questions (which I am sure will not be answered satisfyingly any time soon). I'm really intrigued by the world-building aspects of this part of the story, like if the continents aren't honeycombed with colonies, then what is happening outside those walls? Who governs there? Do the hosts even bother the people outside the walls? Did they already make a sweep trying to neutralize the people outside the wall? Maybe the colonies captured large population centers and left more rural parts alone... Aren't those rural parts where we keep our ICBM silos, hidden under corn fields? It feels like there's a lot more story now, but it's outside the bloc. Alas, poor Burke! We knew ye as much as we wanted and that was plenty. Here at Daley Review HQ we're hoping our benevolent hosts don't resort to any heroic measures when it comes to saving Burke's life. It looked pretty messy from our seats. Definitely didn't look like anything Burke had anticipated. Shouldn't have brought a magazine to a broken bottle fight, Burke old boy.

Direct iTunes link. After last week's explosive climax, I thought the LA bloc would be in store for hellish retribution. We got to meet a recently-minted Proxy Alcala in Governor General Helena Goldwin's damage control meeting. Is he another Greatest Day true believer, or cunning opportunist? In this world, at these levels, I'm going with opportunist. Damage control meeting or no, the real decision-making power lies with a higher (literally, greater altitude from the surface of Earth) authority. Former-proxy Snyder was super-busy over at the labor camp trying to erase any proof the conspiracy originated at the labor camp. He operates with a level of ruthlessness we need to remember he's capable of. Perhaps when he was selected as the first LA bloc proxy, this was one of the skills he was chosen for. Something about what he knew to be the seriousness of the crime and the finality of host punishments made me question his sanity a little after the fact. If you missed it, spoiler alert, the hosts obliterated the labor camp and everyone there, staff and inmates. Helena started a daisy chain of "you owe me ones" when she rescues Snyder and then when he in turn rescued Bram. I've always thought Snyder would be with our heroes in on e way or another until the end. Will Helena be with him? Caroline enjoys the heck out of watching Josh Holloway clear a room. I agree with her. He is pretty convincing as he goes around killing the Red Hand assassins in his home. He was a couple minutes late to save Lindsey (RIP), but I think Charlie might have murdered her pretty soon anyway. Lindsey was a pain, but we'll miss Erin Way, the actress that played Lindsey. She's been very interactive with fans on Twitter and it's a shame to see her go. Busy, exciting episode and we still have 5 to go! Check out a friend of the show, Michael Hall, over on his YouTube channel, where he talks about "The Science of Sci-Fi"!

Direct iTunes link. Last episode we had bookend scenes concerning Simon and his poor mum. This episode, we had another storytelling device (foreshadowing), but they tweaked it a little to keep the audience guessing. The sequences of Frankie prepping that nameless dumbass for his day in the sun and Maya's get-ready routine with Bram were mirrors. Caroline and I agree that a storytelling opportunity was missed though by keeping Bram in the camera's focus without a break. Wouldn't it have been a little more exciting if the ship had exploded and we didn't know where Bram was?  We think so and wouldn't have required much more than more clever editing. We also got to see what Will's new work situation is -really- going to look like with Bob "the jerk" Burke as his partner. If the constantly looking over his shoulder and needing to keep one hand on a firearm at all times don't appeal to him, there's the executions and torture to look forward to. I'm convinced Burke was a complete nobody before the Arrival. I don't want to denigrate any specific loser-ey type profession by saying Bob was a fill-in-the-blank, but... I think he's getting a chance to work out a lot of pent up aggression from a previously unfulfilling career. Homicidal, insane vocal inflection-filled aggression. I mean, really! Did he think just putting the emphasis on a different word was going to yield a different result? WHO leads your cell? BLAM. Who LEADS your cell? BLAM.  Who leads your CELL? BLAM. It's fair to say Bob was only 1 for 2 on the day's total interview count. In all, peeves aside, a LOT happened this episode. The Resistance blew up a ship! Yay? LA was already on probation from that "Total Rendition" vote. How's that going to play? AND... Will is ready to throw in with the Resistance. But really, I think regardless of affiliation, Will's first plan is going to be get the family out of the bloc. I bet that's what we see in episode 8. Little did we know when we attended the Gilmore Girls Fan Fest that we'd get to meet a Colony guest star?

This was an entertaining episode to watch, but it should give you some pause for some brain-thinking. Who cares about BB? Morgan does, but who cares about Morgan? The audience? I think we're indifferent to her/them. So why spend a whole episode on BB choking up his own guts?  There's something we're supposed to learn here. The most accessible part of the lesson is that something having to do with the Hosts is radioactive and harmful to us. We saw a guy in the factory get dragged off last season when he started to cough up blood. Being a worker at the factory, it's safe to assume he was waist-deep Host-iness. Now we have BB, simply fiddling with alien tech also coughing up blood. OG-Morgan (last season's) said something to the effect of, "are the host's suits protecting them from us, or us from them." I think we're getting that answer this episode. It may be too bad for the Bowmans that they burned their one doctor friend on trying to save BB. Also, the bookend scenes should give you a creepy shudder. German goons storm a refugee-looking camp to find Simon's mom. At the end of the episode, Simon sees her face on a wanted poster (well, several of them) on the other side of the world in the LA bloc. The Authority wants Simon off the board -that- bad. Maybe that put a fresh light on Broussard's command that he should stay put in their bunker (especially considering the posters, found right outside his door, were probably hung by red hats). Like I said, an entertaining watch, but Team Daley was left with one huge, unanswered question: Who was watching the kids!?! The fired Lindsey and both parents were gone the whole day!

There's "Fallout" for sure as we break down Colony Season 2, Episode 6.

Now we've got all the players back on the board. They may not be as close together as they'd like (we're all looking at you, Bram), but all Bowmans are definitely taking turns at playing games. Will: Will got a new partner this week in one-time Jennifer investigator, Bob Burke. Bob wasn't putting on an act for Jennifer's benefit apparently. He must always act like that. Although being the "good soldier" is Will's only play right now, the department he returned to only resembles the one he left because they inhabit the same space. Question of the week: Now that Will has to bow down to a new dress code, do you think they'll make him cut his hair? Kate: So much for being the "good citizen" half of Team Bowman. I guess throwing your state appointed tutor out of the house isn't technically bad citizenship, but it may be bad colonist...ship. The big questions surrounding Katie's erratic behavior revolve around where the heck WAS she? Both awkward Charlie/Lindsey interactions came while Katie was away or busy. I don't want to stick up for a weirdo like Lindsey unnecessarily, but was she -really- out of line for asking a child that was distracting her student to go be busy elsewhere? If we enforced Katie's rule today, teachers would be getting booted left and right. Broussard: Still hanging out with Team RoboBee (emphasis on the BO). I would so hate these guys if I were him. They must still have some future story importance, because Broussard would be better off without them. Plus, why go through the trouble and expense of hiring a known actress like Thora Birch (Morgan last season), just to replace her? Weird. Proxy / Bram: Proxy needs to learn a little subtlety when it comes to showing Bram favoritism. It's so obvious Maya noticed it and force Bram to reveal his snitch status. It is interesting to wonder though, is Bram working for Proxy (for real), or is he working for Maya (bad move)?

Get the dish on the Bowmans' lockdown in Colony Season 2, Episode 4: "Panopticon" with co-creator Ryan Condal, co-executive producer Wes Tooke and actress Kathleen Rose Perkins.

Not this season's best episode, but a serviceable one for a necessary situation. The Bowmans had to have a reunion. They had to lay their respective cards on the proverbial table (although we're not at all sure that Katie has come completely clean). We endured a lot of soap opera-style recapping of events from both recent episodes and last season. As faithful viewers, we kind of hate having to sit through too much of that. What made it endurable was: Will did not give in to Katie and her loser ways -and- the cold open plus Jennifer's story. The cold open gave us a brief glimpse at what else is going on in the world. In a way, Jennifer's eternal reluctance to turn in Will and his family is sending ripples through the bureaucracy that are being felt and voted on at the highest levels. She just knows her jerk boss has it in for her, not that she might get them all "rendered". But it sure is fun for us to know it. In the podcast, Caroline mentions so of the previous acting work performed by the actor portraying the very scary Det. Burke. Here ya go:

How do you like your Devon? Pulp? Or no pulp? Episodes like this one are fun to watch. A little heartbreaking, sure, but still fun. Alas, poor Devon. We hardly knew her. She never Landoed Will, like I was suspecting she would. She helped him out, kept on eye on his flight-risk kid, and taught him how to survive in Santa Monica. Now, she's just one bloody smear among many on the Santa Monica side of the wall. You can't get too attached to mentor-ish characters in Colony. They don't last. Although Colony's propensity for dispensing with mentors remained consistent, we also experienced a pleasant change this past week in the form of Katie taking some responsibility for her actions. Well, kind of. She really passes the buck to Jennifer on whether or not she's actually held accountable. That is, if Jennifer can bring herself to turn in a grieving mother and maybe widow. Nice way to back into responsibility. "If you say I am, then I will be." I for one loved to see former Proxy Snyder in action and with a little of his old swagger back. The office desk on the far side of a concrete room is classic Snyder. One way or another, he is not staying in the prison any longer than he has to. Next week it looks like Katie and Will have a much needed come to Jesus moment - under the watchful eye of Jennifer and Homeland Security. Can't wait to see how that turns out!

Warning: I talk a bit about Game of Thrones and some major developments in that story as a comparison to Colony in this episode. If you call yourself a Game of Thrones fan and are not completely caught up (an excuse-less condition), you may want to skip ahead in the podcast when it comes up. This week's episode marks Will Bowman's return to action hero status. I have to admit I was a little concerned when a very desperate Will got his butt kicked in the first episode. After seeing the hold Solomon had over Charlie, plus the scar tissue remnants of Solomon's "lessons", Will's edge returned. With Charlie safe from the local poncho-wearing warlord's retribution, what will Will do? And then there's Katie. Katie. Katie, the woman who can accuse her own sister of not trying very hard to use her politically persuasive boyfriend to Bram released. Never mind that Bram broke one of the cardinal rules of the colony -or- that Maddie's had to basically sell her body to buy Nolan's affections. Katie just calls 'em like she sees 'em, and in this case she saw a real lack of hustle on Maddie's part. I loved watching Maddie verbally kick Katie's ass. Alan Snyder's alive! It looks like his new title may be something more like "Warden Snyder" rather than proxy, but hey! It's not the factory! What's to come next week? I bet Will has to stay in Santa Monica longer than expected to clean up the mess he surely created at Solomon's. What stupid idea will Katie have? She will probably try to enlist someone's help (Jennifer? Broussard?) to try and not only find Bram, but get him out. These are just guesses of course.

Go deep into Colony Season 2, Episode 2: "Somewhere Out There."

Just 10 episodes last year was all it took. We bought in. We invested. We engaged with the Colony community. We even met Ryan Condal. When you go out in a public forum, like a blog, Facebook, what have you, and say you like something, you are also saying some other stuff. What we let into our minds and souls as entertainment is one thing, but what we tell others we like is another. Coming out all public-like in support of a show in its freshman season can be fun... until its time for the Season 2 premiere. Then we're all like, "please don't suck. please don't suck." We have good news for you. Colony Season 2 looks like it is off to a STRONG start. Where last season, we were left wondering about our characters' backstories, this episode we got mostly backstory. BUT. Some of the details we learn only lead to more questions (funny how good writers can do that, huh?). All the previous stuff I wrote I used a collective "we" to denote how Caroline and I feel about the show. This next bit is all Paul. Alan Snyder, the once and future Proxy, is beginning to steal the show for me. Will Bowman has the action hero stuff and that's cool, but Snyder is cunning and highly adaptable. He had me at, "She stays." Direct Link to iTunes! One of the people below is on television, the other is a podcaster.

Was it just a week ago the first season of USA's Colony drew to a close? What better way to mark the occasion than with a slightly later than normal, but there's no harm because there's no new episode tonight, podcast? I have just the thing. This here podcast can do that for you. The season started and everyone was together. The season ended with everyone headed in vastly different directions with no way to stay in touch. The idea behind any story's second act is to put everybody in a heap of trouble. With the finale's last few scenes, I think it's fair to say a heap of trouble is in everyone's future. Except maybe Jennifer. She may get through episode 201 without being shot at or run in by red hats, but those odds are only even money. The team here at Daley Review is anxious to see where we go next with the LA Bloc and can't wait for 2017 to see what happens next. In the meantime, we'll start our season 2 coverage of Fear the Walking Dead in a few weeks! Direct iTunes Link!

The next to last episode of the season delivered the big fight between Will and Katie that's been building all season. Before we get to see how that goes down, we get to see how some of our fellow colonists celebrate the first anniversary of the arrival. Let's just say that some of those colonists aim to misbehave. An opportunity arises and Will has a new, third option he wants to explore with his family: not collaborate, not resist, but Colony Exodus. It's this new option that brings Will to the family shootout we've been waiting to see. The Will/Kate blow-up was not really everything I needed it to be and since the writers knew it wouldn't be, they gave us something juicy: Hyperion. Watch the episode, listen to the podcast and strap in for the final episode this week! Direct iTunes link.

If Colony had a Talking Dead-style "In Memorium" section of the show, this episode would have had a long one. A major character, a minor one, the minor one's sons, and then red-hat collateral damage. Let's not forget moon-base plague-man! The terrorist cell Will has been after all season, also known as the Country Quayle Jamboree featuring Katie, is swept into the pages of history with a little help from their leader turning rat (and a little more help from Will's good aim). Things play out in a way that will let Katie skate back into her normal, non-insurrectionist life and all she has to do is take the opportunity Will has created. Can she? Will she? Her unexplained draw to Broussard is likely a time-bomb within her and when he calls, she will come a' runnin'. Maybe in the meantime, she and Will can re-forge their own bond, focus on getting Charlie back, and at least make it hard decision for her when Broussard comes knocking. Overall, great episode, full of surprises; top 3 of the season. In other news, we are taking part of this week's Blab From the Bloc! Sign up and be there as we get to help interview Peter Jacobson (Proxy Alan Snyder himself)! Footnote: If you notice a reference to "hot-talk" or "talking hot", you should take this to mean that the person is speaking in an undeservedly braggadocios manner. Direct iTunes link.

Busy week with a LOT of setup for what's to come. Broussard is a wanted man, or many men as it turns out. Things get off to an explosive start this episode, Jennifer becomes the team's "Velma" for some reason, and time is about up for Katie with her Resistance comrades. The pieces -should- be all in place in Will's mind, but that doggone blind spot may keep him from facing the truth about the way Katie's been spending her free time. Go check out our Facebook page for more info Caroline has found on details related to the show. Did you wonder how Katie picked the codename Emilia Gould? Have a listen and find out.

And now something different. Don't worry, we're still going to review this past week's episode. This mini-cast is a recorded conversation between one of your Daley Review hosts, Paul Daley, and one of our listeners, Paul Rabenowitz (@paulrabenowitz on Twitter). Paul has been listening and conversing back and forth with us since our Leftovers reviews and has come along for the ride into the LA Bloc as we review Colony. The initial scope of the conversation was meant to include a discussion of Flatland, a book about expanding your perspective beyond what you may be capable of and how it relates to Colony. Paul R. had caught subtle references to "Flatlanders" during the show and the themes of this 100 year old novel made an immediate connection. He mentioned it to me (Paul D.) and we decided to exploit the marvelous technology of our modern age and have a trans-Atlantic conversation about it. The result was what follows, a conversation that sounds like old friends, able to draw references from books, TV, and movies to make their points and increase their mutual enjoyment of the show. If anyone listens to this and has an idea they'd like to try and team-up to mini-cast about, let us know through the contact form or Twitter!

Tons of action and Action Jackson was nowhere to be seen! This one was all about Will and Proxy Snyder trying to survive an ambush, Broussard trying to perform that ambush, and Katie trying to fit into the middle of the ambush without Will ever finding out about it. Given her natural talent for disguise and espionage, it's hard to believe Will could ever find her out. And by that I mean it's just a matter of time because she -doesn't- actually have any natural talent in those areas and I have serious doubts about the integrity of the resistance's training program. I sure love great action scenes, but even more I love when light is shone upon up until now unknown nuggets of info about the Colony universe. You wouldn't expect an action oriented episode to have such meaty exposition, but it does and it really works. The pace of the show didn't drag as a result of the three or four gut-spilling sessions our characters had. Congrats, Colony Creators! This week, my sister joins us on the podcast, and be on the lookout for a mid-week mini-cast with listener Paul Rabenowitz as he and I discuss Colony, some of our favorite TV in general and the book Flatland as it relate to Colony. Direct iTunes link.

Will's team is shaken up after the murder of their former boss and everybody's going to have to get used to the new guy being in charge. If I was Jennifer, I'd be all like, "Anything he can do, I can do better," but I doubt it would work on Proxy Snyder. At least not right now. Phyllis' death has him very nervous and all of the sudden it doesn't matter that he doesn't have the right Geronimo in custody. In cases where a public example needs to be made, any Geronimo will do. Other Geronimos may surface (they do), but they don't quite look the part quite like poor, under-represented Luis (I guess certain rights, like legal representation, have been suspended during the occupation). This was a fine episode, and one that helped add texture to the levels of human bureaucracy above the proxy level, but overall it was meant to serve up next week's episode (which looks action-packed). We end on a cliffhanger and a preview promising a gunfight, so stick around and we'll catch up next week! Direct iTunes link. More on Nostromo. More on bulletproof defendant's boxes. More on the statue in Echo Park. Other times the "words are stronger than guns" idea has been used in history.

The best episode of the season so far. That's what I said on Twitter after it aired, and I stand by that assessment. A leader arrested, a major reveal and a major character death. Normally, a house-fire would qualify as a show's major action-piece, but not so for Colony. That's just a set up for something better to actually happen. Look at our Facebook page for additional fact-finding related to the show. Let's review: Will - Continues to be too good at his job, but suffers from a woman-shaped blind spot. Katie - Is a bad liar and ok with arson in small, manageable quantities. Bram - is grounded. Beau - Did a -little- police work this week. Phyliss - Don't get too attached... Direct iTunes link.

Will can't stop tightening the noose, which his own wife has tied for him, around his neck. An eleven month layoff from his career in law enforcement did little to put Will Bowman off his game when he sets his mind to it and his tenacity might get him killed. Is that any way to complement a job well done? Katie assists on her first real action for the Resistance and witnesses the true horror of what her choice may bring her as a team member is killed in front of her. She also gets to open the Yonk this week. So, it's not all bad for Katie. Direct iTunes link.

The second episode of USA's new show Colony started to widen out what we know about the show's mythology and introduced a very "gray" way to ease Josh Holloway's Will Bowman into his new life as a collaborator. Is it still collaborating when your own personal ambitions align with the occupation's? We're also left with a lot of questions concerning Katie's (Callies) motivations. Is she truly riding the line between supportive collaborator's wife and up-and-coming resistance agent? Or is it possible she's really pumping Will for info and recklessly (or even calculatedly) put Will directly in harm's way? There's not enough to go on yet, but this episode definitely presents evidence on the matter. Plus, we get to see Josh Holloway walk a balance beam. Direct iTunes link.

We've been looking forward to this one for a while. Carlton Cuse has been very active in the since LOST ended with The Bates Motel and The Strain, but this is the first series of his that jumped out to us. It doesn't hurt that we've had a little layoff in active programming since The Leftovers finale either. The series gets off to a very fast start and throws the main characters, Will and Katie, played by Josh Holloway (Sawyer from LOST) and Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori from The Walking Dead), into the thick of a plot that should make for some great TV. In the podcast we discuss everything in our usual scene by scene style and try to sort out just how this show is going to work. Right away the characters are going to be headed in very different directions and their motivations are not 100% clear. Do we think this is a strong start? Listen to find out! Direct iTunes link.
