Probably the best
Probably the best two episodes. Shocked at the brother's fate. But maybe I shouldn't be. Also five was awesome in both episodes. Disappointed the GA didn't put up a fight at all. You're clones!
shareShocked and disappointed. Are they getting rid of 4? How can he come back from that?
shareIt makes sense, when considering the old days. When a new king or emperor came to power all the competition and their loyal minions were killed. This helped to ensure retaining power. I was shocked that his brother was killed because he helped him. But remember when he and the Raza were ambushed? The guy Ryo/Four spoke with said only he, Ryo/Four, and his brother knew they were meeting. Yet somehow they were ambushed. *Someone* betrayed him. When the Ryo/Four discovered him dead, I think ruled him out. I don't think Hiro was really loyal to him. Even when Five "rescued" him, he was just hanging out in his room. He seemed perfectly fine. You'd think that if he really wanted to help Ryo/Four he'd be a little more distressed about being locked in his room. So, I think his brother betrayed him. With Ryo/Four being the smart guy he is, he knew he couldn't keep him alive.
shareIt is clear that no one betrayed them. Seers help the empress using their ability to predict the future.
shareNobody betrayed him. The precogs basically told his mother his every move. Two figured it out before they stormed the palace.
shareThat doesn't mean the brother wasn't in on it. Again, when his mother took over he didn't seem distressed or anything. He seemed totally fine even though he knew Ryo/Four was on his way (most likely) to his death. It wasn't until he went to the court that he actually seemed to care.
shareHis mother had him locked up with guards loyal to her. He's not a fighter, what was he going to do? He had nothing to do with it.
shareIt wasn't until he went to the court that he actually seemed to care.
Because we didn't see him in between his meeting with Ryo and then.
He had the plan, he had his loyal people on the ships in orbit, it was his mother who locked him away, destroyed the ships, and killed everyone who was loyal to him to make it look like Ryo tried to kill him and begin a coup for the throne.
Then Five came along and took out the guards and released him so he could go to the court and have his mother imprisoned for what she had done.

That doesn't make sense.. . If the brother was in on it, he never would have supported Four and publicly given the throne to him.
Sometimes fires don't go out when you're done playin' with them. share
Chill. I already posted the showrunner's explanation. No need to debate this.

Possible yes, but I hope not. Whilst they do make very serious and dangerous adversaries for the Raza, I just couldn't imagine the writers being able to consistently write good ways for the Raza to outsmart them each time. Unless they were killed off, the seers would have to win, or would just appear bumbling fools.
