War is far too grave a matter to go through traditional channels.
It also ends the life of a fan favorite, as poor Frank Frink is decapitated in the desert.
Will his message of Resistance continue to grow without him?
Theyre a happy family, drinking Cokes and laughing on the street.
And then we see John and Thomas notice a speech being given on the TVs in a store window.
Its an issue of a leader transmitted to a world sadly bereft of them.
Will it inspire John Smith to become one himself?
They run into Chuck, a Resistance member whom Juliana recognizes from her memory/dream of what happened at Lackawanna.
He has to come with them.
Before they make their way to the Poconos, Juliana and Wyatt show the Resistance members the film.
Its an interesting comparison to consider how they respond as opposed to the people of Sabra.
The people here know the power of propaganda and are inspired by the film.
One of their leaders asks to see it again.
Frank was scared to leave Sabra just a few episodes ago, and he should have been.
First, we see how Helen is essentially preparing to betray the Empire.
It starts when she tells her friends over cocktails about Goebbelss deformity, basically highlighting his hypocrisy.

Turn him over to the Reich?
make a run at see more films that include Thomas?
Or maybe even travel to a reality where he can join him?
Meanwhile, Juliana, Wyatt, and Chuck get to the forest outside the Lackawanna coal mine.
Is that how Juliana will gain access?
Pretending to be a test subject?
Kido takes him to a hill near the site of a former Japanese internment camp.
He tells him about dying with honor, puts on his uniform, and Frank kneels.
As he says a Jewish prayer, Kido chops his head off.

I hope the show continues to develop this setting even more next season.
Its been some of the most consistent world-building in this one.
A buyer comes to Childan looking for a baseball signed by Murderers Row.
Anyone else fast forward through the Edelweiss version in the opening credits?
I can take it.
