Episode 3 of 15


After The Following wraps it's season on April 28th, 24 will take over the timeslot the following week.

I like that we're getting new episodes of this and 24 all the way until July.

That was awesome. Now the show is back to being crazy again.

Josh called it about Lily last week. Good job man. At least Ryan smelled something fishy about her.

Something was so off about her before the reveal. She was so obviously phony around Ryan. at her being the twins mother.

at the black girl taking out her Mama & becoming a new cult member.

The FBI really are idiots. They use Windows 8. I mean jeez, they pimped SkyDrive!

They found the most disturbing version of "Stand By Me" I've ever heard. Fitting for the scene.

I think I'm going to drop this. I'm just not interested anymore. I can't stand those twins. And I really hate that Joe is still alive. Oh well. 24 can't come quick enough.

I'm really conflicted - not a single instance of egregious stupidity in the entire episode. The FBI actually pulled off a successful raid without most of the followers effortlessy escaping and half of the agents getting killed. Ryan figured something out without being stabbed. Where's the retard gone? If they keep this up, the show may actually have to be taken seriously.

I too thought that Lily might be a follower - after all, who can you entirely count out? But being the necro twins Mom was a nice twist. Poor Arlene, though. On second thought, that was one instance of supreme idiocy - I mean, who the hell picks up a pistol to shoot a pyscho without racking the slide or a least checking the chamber? But compared to past idiocies, I guess that really is nitpicking.

OK! Now that's more like it. I was starting to worry about this show and I'm hoping the ending of episode 3 is the start of the show getting back to what it was good at in season 1: Pure craziness and twists. Lily as the creepy twins' mother was a nice reveal, and it seems like incest is going to become part of the deal moving forward. YIKES!

To be fair to the show, this was a backwoods hillbilly prostitute, not a cop or federal agent. Who knows if she ever actually fired the thing before.

Now that I think about it a few days later, Ryan was an idiot for giving Lily the death stare in that gallery instead of approaching her right away and questioning her.

FYI,

if any of you are behind or haven't seen episodes 1-3 yet, they are on fox.com

No log-in needed to watch them.

That was the best of the three Season 2 episodes so far...primarily because it got crazy and stupid again - just like the best parts of Season 1.

I am dropping this show like a stone. Too much apparent writer's manipulation going on; so much that is it more apparent than plausible.

No joke. It fits the show, but man that was bizarre. Overall a solid ep, best of the season thus far.

Yeah, that seems to be a trend on this show...they had a bizarre version of BAD MOON RISING at the conclusion of this season's premiere. They used the Marilyn Manson version of SWEET DREAMS in Season 1.

Here's the song on YouTube.

Definitely the best episode of the season. I like all the storylines they have going, though I probably would have let Lily get closer to Ryan before revealing her true nature. I've never seen her in anything else but Valorie Curry as Emma does more with that character than every other actor on the show combined. That could easily be a throwaway role and she consistently makes Emma stand out from the rest of the mindless killers.
