SIBERIA Episode 10 Review: Sworn Enemies

Three...










Two...








One!

Monday night was a hell of a viewing night. The US Open men's final concluded, and my Texans opened up the season in fine fashion. However, in between the tennis and football was another integral part of the night: the latest episode of SIBERIA.

It first picks up from last episode when those webfoot men from a tribe showed up at the cabin door. There, they 'escorted' Miljan, Neeko and Sabina to a tent on a tribal ground. There, they are  joined by...(drumroll please)...Anne Marie and Esther. Despite being warned, all five were kept warm wondering where they would go next. Those five would later be treated to an appearance from the tribe's shaman. I wonder if with all that humming is he: a) on crack, b) on roids, or c) erectile dysfunction. That man probably scared the shit out of those guys. Without no harm, he left.

Those five also saw a man carried back to the tribal grounds, presumed to be shot by a rival tribe. Neeko asked the tribeswomen that they want to see their 'friend.' As they proceed, the armed tribes men escorted the five to another tent, where in that tent, is an ailing Irene, who smiled when she was happy to see those guys. Later, Neeko, Miljan, Anne Marie, Esther and Sabina were escorted back to the cabin to get their belongings. Irene sat on the sled as well. As they headed down a territory by themselves, there was a domed structure that belonged to another tribe. Or was NBC promoting Under the Dome? They all went back to the cabin safely and gathered their belongings.

Meanwhile, back at the sanctuary, Joyce discovered a meteorite, while Johnny discovered a human studies test group mechanism. Remember that episode where they mentioned about the Revealer as a behavior study mechanism? It could be the dead that could watch the remaining ten.

Perhaps there were some tense moments in that sanctuary. The first was between Johnny and Joyce (or Carolina, same fucking person) where they both argued for some time. Joyce questioned him at one point: "You ride bulls? What kind of bulls do you ride?" Hilarious moment where I thought Johnny was gonna slap the taste out of her. The second was the installment of the cables to the CB radio system. As Dan got up there with the wiring, I'm assuming the roof was icy and he fell off hard, resulting in the back of his head bleeding. The nerdiest of the bunch is a soldier. Who needs concussion protocol?

As soon as Dan and Sam got everything hooked up, it was time to test. Daniel took numerous hours testing the CB radio to see if it worked. It did, and when it did, a message was transmitted in Russian. Despite the 'fearless four's lack of understanding of the Cyrillic/Russian alphabet/language, they finally knew help would be on the way.

Is help REALLY on the way? Or is this a trap? Perhaps a Russian mafia hit? Or will one by one turn on each other? Or even Borat kidnap all of them and send them to Kazakhstan? Or even Fedor Emelianenko or Vladimir Putin makes a cameo appearance? The finale (possibly series finale) is next week, with some major competition on ESPN called Monday Night Football.

As for the scorecard...
