TV commentary:
Frequency- Heh, doesn't Daniel have a gf?! Like when the timeline first changed at the restaurant, Daniel was introducing his gf in this timeline to his parents. But now Raimy's bumping into him, all, "Maybe its fate!" which is something a stalker would say. Like he should be more worried! And its hilarious that when they bump into each other when she's at Amanda's crime scene and he finds out she's a cop, he's starting to warm to her. 1) If she's a crazy stalker, her being a cop is prolly bad. And 2) She's there because someone just got murdered! NOW he's getting flirty?!
Anyways, while crazy guy brings up some points, some are obvious, and some are wrong. Like yes, if they stop the Nightingale from killing X, then of course, if they just thwarted the attempt and didn't actually catch him, of course another victim will spring up. The guy is a serial killer! And also, yeah, it could be the same victim they saved. But that doesn't mean its fate! Again, the guy is a serial killer! People they save are preferential targets! He's not necessarily going to stop just because they thwart him once or twice!
As to why he targeted Amanda again, I mean, signs are pointing to the Nightingale possibly knowing things. But even if he doesn't have extra knowledge and know Raimy and Frank are communicating, there are plenty of mundane reasons he went after her again. As Raimy said, Amanda had been in India for a while, so maybe this is the first chance he's gotten. Secondly, Frank has now come close to catching him twice now. He may have taken the photo as a taunt and kept it as a trophy. And then with the one lady last episode pulling a "Gone Girl" as they put it, the media is all over the case, and Raimy was prominently featured and interviewed.
Like, the guy who almost caught him in 96 has a daughter also investigating him? A crazy psycho like him might thinks its poetic to go after the victim Frank saved and taunt Raimy.
But I digress, this whole fate thing, and Raimy being all, "We have to kill him, that's how we stop the branches! If he goes to jail, he'll just somehow get out and find a way to kill mom (which, I just realized that the actress playing Raimy is the same age as Peyton List, which is hilarious)!" She doesn't know that. The person who told her that things will keep on happening until she cuts off the trunk is a crazy person! So she can't trust what he says about guys he's stopped. I mean, she doesn't know jail won't work- Amanda died because they never actually caught the guy! Its not like what they did protected her from him forever! He got away! Raimy has no actual example of doing something where it should be impossible for the guy to kill a victim, like him being jailed, and being able to kill them anyways!
And if the fate thing is true, in the original time line, her father died and her mother lived! Fate should be conspiring to save her and kill Frank. I mean, in the movie, the father died of cancer. But here he died in a car accident. So perhaps the accident wasn't an accident and Moreno and his associates were still fated to kill him. But like I said, because the timeline changed, it should be Frank with a bullseye on his back, not his wife, if the fate thing is to be believed!
I'm also disappointed they made Satch kinda a bad guy in this. Like we don't know his full involvement with Moreno, just that Moreno is trying to get him to reign in Frank. But in the movie, he was always a good guy. And it occurs to me, the timing of the blackmail, that Satch told Moreno about the affair and that's why he's only now trying to blackmail Frank!
