After the reintroduction of Brooklyn (Kiersten Kelly), the show moves forward splitting the focus between Brooklyn and the rest of the Nublar Six who will eventually all reach the same location by season end. We see some of Brooklyn’s time with the DLN, explaining what she was doing with the rather dim eco-terrorists using them to find the Broker (Dichen Lachman) and nearly getting eaten by her pet raptor. We also see Brooklyn’s call with Ben (Sean Giambrone) and the reasoning behind her decision to stay disconnected from her friends. The tension in Brooklyn segments work really well, as she barely escapes for her life, but this also marks the end of her story making any sort of sense for the remainder of the season.

• wiki: link

“C13v3rGr186” steps away from the current storyline of the new island to fill in the gap of Brooklyn (Kiersten Kelly) starting with the events that occurred prior to the attack and also what happened to Brooklyn after she was saved by Ronnie (Carmen Moore). Much of this we’ve seen before, or has been directed alluded to. We see her visit to Kenji’s father with the added context of what she was after, the misunderstanding with Darius (Paul-Mikél Williams), and the night she lost her arm. Although considering letting the others know she’s alive, Brooklyn ultimately decides to keep it a secret to protect them and play on the advantages of being dead as she goes after the Broker on her own in a storyline which will eventually get away from the writers but starts with just being a very questionable decision.

The second episode of the season gets the group back on to dry land (which they will later learn is in Senegal). Heading inland the group discovers dinosaurs and a few locals, one of whom will play a major role over the rest of the season. Misjudging the situation, and attempting to help, the group almost gets Zayna (Anaiya Asomugha) and her mother Aminata (Cherise Boothe) killed by not understanding the symbiotic relationship the pair have made with the Stegosaurus who just appeared in their fields one day. By taking care of them, the dinosaurs in turn protect their farm far the far more vicious dangers of the jungle. The pair offer the weary travels some sanctuary, but for answers to their question,  Ben (Sean Giambrone), Kenji (Darren Barnet), Darius (Paul-Mikél Williams), Yaz (Kausar Mohammed), and Sammy (Raini Rodriguez) will have to journey up river.

Working as a bridge between the show’s First and Second Seasons, the season premiere “Batten Down the Hatches” gives us the our heroes stowed away on the dino freighter on the way to learn more about the mysterious “Broker.” A storm causes some mayhem aboard the ship, but also distracts the crew from dealing with the stowaways who put their dino-knowledge to work to get the dinosaurs back in their cages before leaving on a lifeboat and finding themselves shipwrecked on a new island (suggesting that, if they remain on the island, this season might be more like the series which spawned the show than last season).
