Trying to piece everything together and how the tunnel is going to connect with the former agent doing all of this.

I kind of think the tunnel is separate from the main investigation and would be part of a season 2 plotline because I do not see how they are related just yet. I ma sure a lot of people gave up on this show, but it has really been terrific and very deeply textured. I love the grayness of the characters and how it does not hold your hand. At all.

Pretty intense episode.

to Charlotte going all Friday the 13th Part 3 on the tunnel owner. There should be a good showdown between her and Ray at some point. Can't wait to see how they tie all these threads together.

They've made a big deal about Sonya's black-and-white sense of ethics. I'm guessing that will play a big part in how this all ends.

The one thing I don't get is how is it that Marco's wife never saw Tate/Hastings before? Seemed like they were friends and had a close relationship, it's odd that they never crossed paths.

Maybe all the Tate/Hastings stuff happened when Marco was still with Gus' mother?

^ Then how did Gus not know him?

I would think it was at a point when Marco didn't divulge what he did to his family. I have a feeling Marco left his Gus' mother for Alma, which is why he's so protective of Alma and the kids.

Very intense, particularly the ending.

This show is really growing on me with each episode. I love how it isn't dumbed-down.

Aren't they a relatively new couple? I thought that they had only been together a couple years

It didn't sound like Tate/Hastings died like 10 years ago or something. It seemed like it was a relatively newer situation.

It has been a great season. Even great shows, the first season is slow, and you tell new viewers to be patient. Not with this show, a lot of things happen in every episode!

I laughed at this:

- I'm a MILF?
- Sorry... MILF means..
- I know what MILF means... but I don't have any kids...

Something like that. LOL!

SUPERB episode. So much happened it's ridiculous. Great acting, great action, great twists. That scene in the hunting lodge with the hand grenade was crazy intense. Such a great new show--I really didn't love the first ep. but it's totally grown on me.

Great episode this week. Good scene with Marco when he first finds out Tate has his family.

Also, I didn't quite piece together the crash at the end of the episode. I assume we're led to believe Tate followed them from the house? Also, it looked like there was a 3rd car he was getting into when he was dragging Gus across the ground (maybe I'm mistaken). If so, how would he know to stash the 3rd car in a specific location...unless he knew the location of the safe house? Didn't follow that.

i assumed since he knows all and is omnipotent, he knows which safehouse they would go to, and Gus was his endgame all along.

Nobody watched Terriers at all from the very beginning so I don't think the quality of the show had anything to do with it being cancelled.

Terriers suffered from poor marketing and a name that had nothing to do with the show.

I'll admit, I love almost everything FX has put out...and honestly, I gave that horseshit show Lights Out more of a chance than Terriers, and I hate boxing. Not sure why I never watched Terriers.

I hope this show sticks around. Between The Bridge and The Americans, there has been some great new shows on FX.
