1.9 Some Consequence Yet Hanging In The Stars The biggest question mark of this episode, Some Consequence Yet Hanging in the Stars, was left hanging over Castor and Saroya, who both have a very different version of events for the night the Atrian ship crash landed on Earth. While Saroya maintains that Castor broke into the control room and took out the pilot in order to sabotage the ship, Castor just about convinces Roman of his innocence. He says that Saroya and the pilot were committing mutiny and he intervened in order to prevent them from going through with their plans and, even if that story seems completely implausible to the audience, it’s not crazy to think that Roman might decide that blood is thicker than water. But Saroya is related to someone too – Drake. Drake and Roman have had an uneasy alliance across the season, with the former joining the Trags and the latter just generally being the more level-headed of the two, but could their commitment to family tear them apart for good? I wouldn’t bank on it as, with Grayson now after the both of them for whatever snippets he remembered from the night Drake killed Zoe, they’ll most likely be united by a common enemy. They’re both similar in their taste for human girls, too, with Drake and Taylor’s relationship going up a level this week. I guess Roman and Emery set the precedent. And we’re edging nearer to the end of this first season, which has ranged from frustrating to mildly intriguing, and a lot of the most interesting elements that have been introduced are still waiting to be explored a little further. That means that we still have to wait for Roman’s half-brother to come out of the woodwork and the reveal of the Atrians’ secret utopia. Without those things, though, there’s still a potentially exciting clash between the two warring species to look forward to, and the revelation of Castor’s true colours in this episode is adding an extra wrinkle to things. Could we be seeing a war between different factions of the Atrians, rather than Atrians vs. humans, as we’re all expecting? We’ll have to come back next week to find out!
