3 I believe. And I thought the episode was shite. They aren't staying anywhere true to the books, all these pointless side stories are crap. I am disapointed with the way this season has gone. I hope they get into the good shite in the last few episodes


****SPOILERS****

Yeah, this episode seemed like an absolute aside. It seems like the whole assassination attempt debacle is setting up Coco to turn on Palmer. She seems genuinely perturbed by his association with the Master, which, if I'm being honest, is kind of odd given her questionable morals to this point. She can't possibly think Palmer is on the up-and-up with all of the shite with Eichorst and Bolivar.

Oh, and I found it funny that she recognized the Master as Bolivar.

Oh #2! What the frick are Gus, Angel, and Mr. Quinlan up to!?!

ETA - I'm pretty sure there are 2 episodes left this season.

This fricking show is going to lose a lot of fans if at least one major enemy doesn't die soon. It's been two whole seasons and every showdown with an enemy has led to the enemy getting away. frick that!

Eichorst, for all intents and purposes, should be dead by now. These writers/producers are just being unreal right now.

That was the absolute worse episode. What a waste of time. They are so far removed from the books at this point, that it's comical. I realize they have to add some crap to keep some audiences but damn, they are killing me. First season was damn near spot on following the first book. This season has been 3/4 made up.

This season has been more about Fett and his Lesbian love triangle and Geriatric sex with Palmer. The second book was so good with all the shite going down, this season has been a huge disappointment.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what they are up to.

Honestly, the Eichorst backstory was interesting, but it did nothing to resolve the issues of the now.

Also, the hole left by the dynamite was hilariously perfect.

Also it begged the question of why he didn't just put the dynamite next to the wall immediately?

I've loved every second of it that doesn't have the kid in it. My favorite show by far right now.

Decent episode last night. They still spend waaaay too much time on these fricking love triangles and relationships. They are going in a different route for the vamp killer squad, and the acquisition of the lumen, but it's ok i guess. They will not cover any of the ending of the 2nd book, which makes the ending cliffhanger very obvious.

Does the secretary chick know what's going on now?

I really don't think so. She doesn't exist in the book, so there is no other way to know. She only knows that Bolivar gave her "the white"...lol, and it made her better. She doesn't appear to know the level of Palmer's involvement.

They really dropped the ball with Coco. Seriously, they had a shot to give a character some depth, but moral dilemmas don't seem to exist in their universe. Season 3 should be the last.

Yeah he was awful. Should have known Nora was going to die with all the long stares between she and Eph this episode.

Good season but it could have been better. Quinlan should have been introduced a lot earlier.

Possibly not. They have not covered the end game plan except for the hint with the processing plant from last night. They still have quite a bit to cover from the end of the second book.

if you're basing that on the books, think of where we were at book two and now. A lot hasn't happened yet. Then again other things are caught up.

I liked that last episode though. I hate that kid, and Nora should of chopped her head off.
