One!

It's Labo(u)r Day night, and there were four fucking things on TV! There was the US Open, there was also Florida State/Pitt (FSU won in blowout, especially in Pitt's ACC debut), there was also Golden Boy Live, and of course, SIBERIA. It was tough turning back and fourth between all four around the 9pm hour. And since this post is about SIBERIA, here is my episode nine review.

It starts off where it is left off, where our 'fearless four' (Sam, Dan, Johnny, and Carolina) finally found sanctuary in the vacant laboratory. Daniel was chugging down the bottle of Russian Ecto-Cooler, while they all deciphered what to do there. The first place was to look was a room where a citizen's band radio was located. Those four tried to turn it on, but to no avail, there was not any communication. They also looked around the room and there, they found a wall with holes and bullets scattering. Perhaps someone shot up the building.

Moments later, with flashlights, Daniel and Sam found the lab. There were cutting tools, and some chemicals. Somewhere in there was probably some ephemerol (Scanners reference). Then Dan and Sam found something creeping behind a curtain, and they pulled the curtain--only to discover it was a falcon. A falcon. In a cage. Also in that lab were these gas tanks. I'm assuming those probably belong to Gazprom. As soon as they hooked the tanks up, Dan manned the switches and voila! There was light, or was there? The lights flickered for a few until they actually came on. While the lights flickered, it was discovered that there were bodies on and around the desk in the office. The bullets and those bodies could be a dead giveaway that this could be a mafia hit.

As soon as the lights fully came on, there was another shocking discovery. This was the beacon those 'fearless four' brought about. It appeared to have been dismantled. Back inside, Carolina was kneeling next to one of the bodies, pulling both boots off of the foot of that body whilst crying. No guys, she wasn't about to lick those feet you fucking foot fetish weirdos! Later, Dan discovered a footage from 1927--presumed to be silent--of a band of guys on horse back marching in the snow.

While the 'fearsome four' were overcome with fear while surviving in the lab, it wasn't that easy back on the compound. Armed with a bow and arrow, to the shock of Sabina and Neeko, was Miljan. Yes folks, he is back. He told Sabina and Neeko that 'they' took her, and I'm assuming that Miljan is referring to Irene. There were also noises near the compound, so fearing for their safety, some things had to be done. First, in the Olympic spirit--since Sochi is five months away--the makeshift torches. These are probably made to scare off the creepers. In addition, Sabina had her gun ready in case she had to blow someone's head off. All in the name of safety.

The next day, there were these planes flying over the compound. Possibly Russian Air Force jets on a training mission. No guys, they weren't there to rescue them from the compound. Finally, as I wrote down earlier, Dan saw the 1927 footage online of these guys on horseback on the snow. Note, the end of the recent episode where the footprints were scattered. I can assume those prints are of the horses the men were on, or is this a new breed? As Miljan went outside to look at this disturbance outside of the cabin, there were these men with guns, all at the door. Sabina and Neeko are extremely scared. So is anyone assuming that these men are recruiting Miljan, Sabina and Neeko for a mission to hunt down the 'fearless four'? We'll wait until next episode.

By the way, Miljan said that he told the rest on the compound about what he saw. He said that he is "not crazy." I believe him. Will everyone else?

Irene was also missing from the episode, whilst Anne Marie and Esther are also trying to stay alive.
