It was a Shaw brothers reunion during Tracker Season 2 Episode 2 when Russell blew back into Colter’s life at, quite frankly, the perfect time. When Colter found himself involved in a government conspiracy and off the grid, Reenie decided to bring in the big guns to find him. And by big guns, yes, I mean Jensen Ackles’ devastatingly charismatic Russell Shaw.
And what followed was another solid installment of the CBS hit series. This may be wildly premature, considering we’re only two hours into Tracker Season 2, but the series is firing on all cylinders. While Tracker Season 2 Episode 1 was a straightforward missing persons case with a late twist, this hour was a little supernatural mixed with government conspiracy, making it markedly different yet just as intriguing.
The only way to keep a series like this fresh is to mix up the cases; the first two were incredibly different. Colter’s no stranger to mixing it up with the government, but he has yet to deal with UAPs, which threw him a little off-guard. Admittedly, I’m not up on my UFO knowledge, so I didn’t know that they were referred to as UAPs now, but you learn something new every day! Scott Palmer was basically a conspiracy theorist who stumbled upon something serious, as he threw himself into alien research as a means to deal with the grief of losing his wife.
He became so obsessed with it that he put himself in grave danger. The thing with government conspiracies is that if you’re actually on to something.
