geebsTV commentary:
The Following- Okay, I caught the beginning part that I missed, so a few more comments. Well, one that doesn't have to do with the parts I missed. Re-watching it, I really like Emma's new look now that I've seen it more. Particularly when she's dressing all punk in hoodies. She's back to being wicked mad cute like when she was Wallace's GF Jane on Veronica Mars. (What was he thinking!? And Jackie ended up dumping his ass after prom and going back to her secret teen mom life!)
Oh, and I apparently missed Keith Carradine in the beginning, so Lundy, Prado's wife, and Zach? What's with all the Dexter alums? It goes without saying I don't trust Keith Carradine's character either. Also, since we don't see Claire actually die, I'm calling that she's not actually dead and in witness protection. I mean, yeah, they said her son is living with an aunt now, but that still works. While the cult wanted to kidnap the son, a lot of them wanted to kill her. So it would just be safer for him if she stayed away.
And I'm shocked Ryan isn't more of a recluse. Teaching classes, going to AA meetings. I mean, maybe he needs the meetings, but after what he's been through, can he trust that there's no secret followers there? (Like Lundy! Or the chick who likes him!) The classes seems even worse. There's the chance of secret Joe followers, but there's an even better chance of random crazies who aren't even Joe followers who want to be close to all that? And even if they're not crazy, crazy, I'm sure there are students who want to push and ask. Even if he puts forth in his syllabus that he won't be entertaining such questions, and anyone who does is out, I would think that would be something he'd still constantly deal with.
Again, I'm still up in the air on whether I still want to watch this. I was checked out by the end of last season, but I didn't dislike this ep. I guess what really annoyed me about the show last season was they'd get close to catching Joe, but then someone would randomly end up being a secret bad guy. Maybe if they cut down on that I may keep watching.
