In reality I sere this season unfolding as two separate main storylines. one for chopper, one for those left behind.
The comparisons to LOST are pretty accurate when describing the story telling methods of WA, tho we haven't really seen a flashback yet. Lost was always good at breaking up the story into smaller character stories..
Burt, Angel and the gang are all injured, so expect them to be out of the action for awhile. I just hour it isn't as long as Saul this past season. I almost quit listening because of it. Like Saul, Burt and to a lesser degree Angel are the strongest, and even most humorous characters in the series. Let's face it, Michael, Riley and Pegs are the whiners of the series. Datu too.
But, they'll be out of the action for awhile. Michael and the chopper crew have no reason in hell to suspect anybody survived, much less a single reason to risk going back.
I expect them to face some kind of mechanical difficulty, but to reach Ft Irwin by midseason at LATEST. There I'm expecting the natives to prove difficult. The fact that in the entirety of season two they never once visited the new home they fought so hard to reach spells big surprises/difficulties when they finally reach it. I can actually see it being a Day of the Dead scenario where the military is in charge. Michael may even be treated as a deserter, altho I doubt it.
My question is where exactly were they evacuating the populace to? I doubt it'd be Irwin.
The colony will without a doubt return in some way by the third quarter of the season. I'd love to see them go head to head with the Mallers. If not for the serious loses the Mallers have suffered, I'd suspect the colony was their intended target.
Speaking of the Mallers, what happened to Scratch's boss? I forget, to be honest.
That's all for now...
