AWARDS UNPLUGGED: Where we take the Summer 2008 awards & break 'em down to "Tribe" references so you can see what each award refers to, then the defining moment that resulted in a character receiving this award. Zoot Lives! Award
Whoever had the idea to kill the character of Zoot off early in Season-1 of "The Tribe" -- bad move, my friends. Very bad move. Every successful drama absolutely cries out for an evil genius, a mastermind that makes you hiss 'n boo & secretly be anxious to see what they're gonna do next. Fortunately, "Tribe" writers knew better than to leave a good villain down. There were all kinds of ways to bring back our boy Zoot. Season-2 we had flashbacks to Martin & Zoot's beginnings. Season-3 we had the Zootists & their insane visions. Season-5 gave us computer-Zoot who was probably more terrifying than the real thing. Yep. Definitely can't keep a good bad-guy down.
For our "evil genius" award, there was VERY heavy debate ending in a split decision among those unlikeliest of brothers, TRISTAN & BLASKO. Blasko continues to serve up his special brand of evil geniusness in the guise of "good of the people." I mean, c'mon - this guy has his soldiers cleaning out alleys & cleaning up playgrounds & giving away food to hungry kids. That has to be good...right? Umm...right? And then there's his brother Tristan. He's definitely all over the place, especially now that he has a wife & a business & new projects presenting themselves every day. We've seen some of his seemingly mad plans completed & it gets kinda chilling when you think about what the future could hold. We don't know what's coming next from either of these brothers, but it's bound to be earth-shaking.-Chyna
