I'll be in it for you, and only you...

because there’s no “all of the above” option.  Or better, a “this showrunner is a joke” option.

TBH I haven’t watched it since about episode 3, except in bits and pieces or to read a few recaps to keep up with the basic story (which further convinced me that it was not something I wanted to waste the time to actually watch).  So if Bash has been a jerk…whatever. That’s just another fumble in characterization by writers who don’t seem to get how human beings actually work. This whole season has apparently torpedoed everything good it had going last year.  Honestly, what they’ve done defies all logic. I hated what they did to Mary and Bash last year, but what they’ve done with Francis and Mary this year makes even LESS sense.  And I’m saying this as a true-blue Mash shipper.    

If they were better writers, they might have let Francis and Mary’s bond be tenuous and built over time, tested by her friendship (and perhaps, attraction) to his dashing illegitimate brother and his frailty…and let the real tragedy of her story be her coming to understand how deeply she loves him at the brink of losing him.  And then let her grieve with the only other person who understands her loss and shares it: Bash.

 Did she try to warn them about Ramse? 

Anyhow, about Ramse...

Ramse’s been helping the 12 monkeys, but I’m still not convinced he’s “the Witness.” Kinda think that title belongs to Olivia’s father (here’s an out there idea: the Witness is Jones’ ex-husband and Olivia is actually her daughter Hannah? ha. that would be wild. Or Sam is the Witness and Olivia is Ramse’s granddaughter? lol Ok I’ll stop.) and there were hints that Ramse doesn’t quiiiiiite align perfectly with the 12 monkeys. (”I thought my future was my own.” and Cole saying, “You’re a good man in any reality.”)  And also when Jennifer talks to him in 2043, she says that he’s a good friend and that they need to try to undo what he, she, and Cole have done.  She mentions the Witness but it doesn’t seem like she’s saying HE is the Witness. 

And why would Ramse want to come to hallucinating Cassie wearing a plague mask?

I have the belief that somehow, Ramse becomes...maybe not a friend again.  He (and Cole) have been so fundamentally changed that I don’t think they could just revert back to that camaraderie.  But an ally?
