Taking Charge 2013-04-17
It is beginning to look like Lilly might be guessing that she has been had by Brandi and/or the Library

He must be really confused, just look at that blank stare.

At least they realize it's a 20 mile hike to the meeting point. Not too sure what getting into the alcove will do for them other than show the ladies are not toast.
Other thing is what made Lily suspicious suddenly? Nothing overt happened so why would the upcoming meeting trigger this? It would trigger worry about accounting for the mess but to think something is off center???

The camera blurred out his face to protect his identity. He may have been a former blank robber and is on the wanted list.sonicthunder wrote:He must be really confused, just look at that blank stare.

The tall one on the right in frame four could be Sali's brother/sister. It's obvious he/she isn't totally in contact with reality. Maybe they found some magic mushrooms while waiting?

Re: Taking Charge 2013-04-17
I'd be willing to bet none of the MiB team are Vanilla mortals. The Rayban twins look too much alike, the tall man or woman(I'm leaning to thinking she's female) seems mostly unfazed by the two vamps antics and the pilot lacks any discernable facial features.zachariah wrote:The tall one on the right in frame four could be Sali's brother/sister.

I hope we learn a bit more about them as time goes on.

Re: Taking Charge 2013-04-17
I'm assuming blank-face guy/girl simply has a face shield down. But it has me wondering just who our mystery guest might be. There may be a reason Paul has, thus far, obscured this person's/being's face. And why hike 20 miles through a hot landscape? Just relay the situation and have the director and her entourage meet them where they are? At least send transport. I mean, Brandi's going to find out eventually anyway.
Looks as if the female is either apprehensive about what they have been ordered to do, or busting to tell something she (and maybe the rest of the crew) knows. If they are all supernaturals, I'm thinking the twins might be the easiest to guess. What supernatural twins are famous in mythology?

Re: Taking Charge 2013-04-17
Not sure how much of everything was Brandi's idea, but I can see her saying, "You lost both choppers, toasted an archeological dig, lost two civilians (who may be dead) and walked 20 miles to report to me? I just love it when a plan comes together!"

Re: Taking Charge 2013-04-17
This is seriously weird. That crew looks like a bunch of literal dummies. They do not look human at all. After all that's happened, they display no reaction. Oh and the blank face is just as creepy as it was on Star Trek. Maybe they are Tsillah?

Re: Taking Charge 2013-04-17
It is possible she was initially too stunned by the helicopter disasters to think, then distracted by flashbacks to her death. Then Brandy called, and suddenly she had to focus on what she was going to say. And once she started thinking, her detective instincts kicked in and she started to smell a rat...zachariah wrote:At least they realize it's a 20 mile hike to the meeting point.

Re: Taking Charge 2013-04-17
20 miles at Olympic marathon pace will be about two hours, at least four hours at a quick walking pace, and even more, if they can't go in a straight line. So -- are these people "enhanced" a bit to get that far that quickly, or sooner?
Brandi could always poit over to see what's keeping them.

Mr. Blank stare gave me pause for only a second before I said in a gravely voice "Cooooooooobra!"
Yes, yes I went there.
*Drops a G.I. Joe action figure in the pun jar*
Seriously though, tall and skinny in the back there appears to know more than s/he lets on. That whole biting the lip thing could also be gas or relief tha thte two vampires are done fighting for now or could be excitment based on the fact its a 20 mile hike!
I want to call the two sunglasses guys Rock and his twin brother Roll.
And I expect they have a big bulge over their herts, not because they have a big heart, but because they have a big gun.
That or they just like looking cool in sunglasses.
Glad Lilly and Suzie are back on speaking terms and not scare the crap out of me terms.

Re: Taking Charge 2013-04-17
I don't think it's a matter of walking to the meeting point. The first thing that came to mind is that maybe they know a portal is down there and plan to use it to get to Mesa Verde. They have to check on Kath and Atsali, true, but look at the what Lily says and the obvious tone in which she ways it. I think Lily knows more than the rest, which is obvious by what Suzi says about it being 20 miles to Mesa Verde and the blank stares (literally on one guy's face) by the crew. Why walk 20 miles if you've got a stargate beneath your feet?

That big bulge on their chest is from their ALSE (Aviation Life Support Equipment) vest. All aircrew wear them. I suspect that pouch in the front is insulated and packed with dry ice and salted caramel latte popcicles...Kingmaker wrote:Mr. Blank stare gave me pause for only a second before I said in a gravely voice "Cooooooooobra!"
