The Color Glass Condensate, Glasma and the Quark Gluon Plasma in the Context of Recent pPb Results from LHC

This paper describes some of the implications of the LHC pPb experimental results for understanding the Color Glass Condensate, the Glasma and the thermalized Quark Gluon Plasma. I attempt to outline the scientific issues, various possible explanations about what has been seen, and present ideas on how some of the alternative explanations might be resolved.
