My wife was telling me about this today. They showed that in the local news, here in the Bay Area. Of course the TMZ piece is a little exaggerated.

On the fence about this show. Violent criminal of the week can get pretty old.

Why not lay low for a while first?

And now it looks like a child killer gets released in this episode. The first thing he's going to do is find the nearest child to kill? I'll admit that I'm not familiar with the mindset of killers and I know that many killers/rapists that get released do eventually repeat their crimes, but do they repeat their crimes the same day they get released?

agreed it is odd
and wasn't the first guy not even really that bad of a criminal IIRC? He got arrested for robbing a grocery store or something and his kill was someone in the prison shower which makes me think he was defending himself from being raped or otherwise attacked

then he gets out and he's attacking and killing people, at least one of which had no apparent connection to his past

did he first gain weight after Lost?

so, their base is on Alcatraz
What happens when something happens while they're at the base? It can't be a quick boat ride back to the city and a helicopter would raise all sorts of flags

Well, this is a very well done show IMO, but I'm taking it off my season pass. I like the overall mystery, but I'm just not into the freak of the week killing sprees. :(

Was this show delayed at some point?
I am thinking the same thing may have happened with Terra Nova. Too many cooks in the Kitchen.
At one point I think this was going to be more mythology oriented but I think they were afraid of it getting too much like Lost. Plus you have almost all Losties still feeling burned for being duped by the ending in which very little of all the questions offered, were ever answered. I think they are playing it safe for this reason.
