Fire

There were certainly plenty of hints where "Catching Fire" was going. It's not like it would have been a COMPLETE shock anyway to see Who Was Behind It All. 

It's a Hero's saga, after all.  Teamwork, courage, and sacrifice, with a Journey that has an expected course.  No coincidence, either, that it has been 75 years since the end of the last Crisis, placing these Games in the natural generational constellation for a new Crisis to begin. And that means the other generations also have their roles to play - their places to be. 

If you follow that far, then it should be clear from the start who was in charge. I wasn't certain at first,  but those hints kept piling up. And ultimately, let's face it, which side would you expect that Reactive - the one played by one of Gen X's most celebrated actors - going to come down on?
