Episode 8 of 15

I'm hanging in there but with eight episodes left I hope they get something going soon.

The hilarity continues! Didn't I say last week how nice it was that Joe got a new position at Sociopath U? Who knew it was located in Pyschopathville? And Sheriffed by Andy Mcnutjob? What are the odds? I wonder when we'll get the big reveal that Joe's kid is both autistic and has Down's Syndrome?

Someone put a little extra gun powder in those blanks?

So, let me get this straight. Kevin Bacon has a bad ticker so he had to take a step back from field work. But....he goes in the field and gets into the action every fucking week!? Why have his character have that condition in the first place? Absurd!

A group of followers is waiting on Weston when he arrives back at the hotel. Wouldn't this imply that someone "leaked" that he was heading that way? The law enforcement behavior continues to induce head scratching. The cult behavior continues to be bizarre. And I'm still interested to see where it's all headed.

So he could not shoot the SUV tires out two weeks ago and save the kid. Oh yeah plus for filler and the eventual deus ex machina.

Ryan gets to kill 5 Redshirts! Nice of him not to drill the chick holding the knife to Weston's throat first. And I feel so bad for Joe, being coerced into killing failure boy when he's such a nice non judgemental pyscho cult leader. You can tell what a good man he is by the way he loves his wife so much.

Which is why I don't understand how this show can continue for more years.

Danzig!

Deftones

So i guess fbi tech dude isn't a follower as some have suspected.

I was wondering why he even went in his room after he knew there were a bunch of creepy people following and tracking him at the hotel.

I guess the followers were also the idiots this week as they let Hardy somehow slip into the building unoticed. Talk about lax security.

And that last scene with Joe killing Charlie was just weird. I guess I just didn't find it as dramatic as I should have. Oh yeah, prison Joe is a lot more interesting than the Joe we got this week.

The Danzig at the end was a nice touch.

They'll probably still make him one.

Luds

Wow, that episode had to be the most ridiculous so far. I was sure I'd finish the season before this week, but now another episode like this one will be too much.

Geofferson

Best comedy on TV right now.

Yeah, I'm out. I hung in there as long as I could, hoping for some reason to keep watching, but there is none for me. It was all stupid, but that guy asking Joe to kill him so his life would "mean something" was it for me. I had high hopes at episode one, and it's pretty much been downhill ever since.

I thought it would be great if Joe kept saying that he loved his wife and not have sex with that girl. That would be different.

I'll finish this season, but right now don't plan on watching the next one.

I can hold a certain level of disbelief while watching a show. This however has just become so awful, and I really liked it when it started. There are just to many "followers" it's ridiculous and it's just beyond plausible at this point. For example, when the cop car came screeching up yesterday in front of the house the only one that looked worried was the chick (I have given up caring about their names anymore) and yet there are all these other people milling about the house and they don't even flinch? And yeah, let's keep rescuing people with only one or two cops. Blech.

sleepyhead55

That was another funny part of the episode where the followers all came out and ran into the car and Parker was off somewhere else to the side. I was thinking "why wasn't she watching the car?" anyway like others it's a lot easier to just treat this as a comedy.

Deftones

My wife said she should've cut the tires to disable the vehicle so they couldn't escape.

to Hardy taking out 5 of Carroll's goons. That was pretty badass.

There were a few weird scenes in this episode. Roderick making Weston do the little fight club thing while being interrogated was strange. I would have rather seen a torture scene instead.

Also, the scene with Charlie sacrificing himself to Carroll was really weird. But in the grander scheme of things, these people who are Carroll's disciples are really demented and fucked up individuals.

and Emma. What a slut!!

DJariya

The thing I also didn't understand was why the new supervisor was being such a douche to Hardy. I get its a plot device to add a difficult new character. I did like Hardy's sarcasm towards him. I mean Hardy was the guy who captured Carroll in the first place and the director of the FBI personally asked Hardy to be involved with this case. Hardy should have just said call the director.

zoomgirl

You know, I may watch it as a comedy next week and see if I like it better....

Bandoman

What was the name of the Danzig song?
