re: THE FOLLOWING - Season One (***Official Thread***)

At least they finally acknowledged checking the visitor logs 6 weeks too late.

And all they got out of it was an approximate count of the cult

So they keep saying "X New Episodes Left", not "this season", but just "left". Is this a one season show? I think that'd be great if it was, and with someone like Bacon as the lead I can see that being the original plan.

It has been renewed for one more season of high comedy

how are the ratings on this show? I can't believe this garbage is renewed for another season

Still want to know who was responsible for putting him in the transport and how not one US Marshall didnt notice he was gone

Fantastic stuff. Apparently satellite phones are cryptonite to the FBI. Army cult guy must have taught someone everything he knew before being offed. And what was the explanation for how they knew where she was? They determined where one single phone call was placed? Really? Was that the only phone call made that day?

And should we discuss that while the FBI is apparently camped out outside of Jacob's house, both of his parents are allowed to leave to go to what I assume is their vacation home. Guess the FBI didnt find it pertinent to a) check to see if they owned other properties that he might use or b) you know, follow them or something.

The opening scene shoutout of sorts to a bitching fanbase was glorious.
"How did Joe Cole escpape in a helicopter in broad daylight?"
"They had a really good plan, sir."
Great explanation.

At least they finally acknowledged checking the visitor logs 6 weeks too late. And Joe can encrypt his internet usage from inside the prison apparently. WIN

And who else loved the nailgun on a construction site that could just fire without the safety being depressed? But let's back up - you have a small crowd in a contained area that can be easily managed and you are trying to find a potential victim and a serial killer in the crowd. What do you do?
A) Just bumblefrick your way through the crowd and noise and hope that you stumble upon them so Kevin Bacon can end up one on one with a killer again?
B) Set up a perimeter, shut down the party and search every single person on site?

Could not have said it any better myself. Just stunning how many glaring contradictions exists in a single show. Amazing really.

Roderick is my favorite character on the show. Dude's a blast

He seems like some frat guy that had nothing better to do and decided to help start a serial killer cult. I liked it when Joe told he was sorry about his woman getting killed and he was like IDGAF.

I want to quit watching, but I can't give up now. I have to see what kind of shite they come up with next week.

Bump for more terrible drama.

Good to see Sgt. Angel Batista getting some work.

I guess everyone quit watching

- Ok so we established that these guys can find anyone and everyone last week. Now we get to see first hand the most idiotic witness protection in the history of witness protection. Way to send out 2 of your 3 men to go walk around the hotel to make sure everything is fine. They didnt even know what they were looking for

- Ryan saves the day. YAY. So you have your woman and need to get her somewhere safe, so where do you go? The large FBI building filled with agents that you work at? Nah. Let's go to your buddy's house. Oh who also happens to be in witness protection but you know where he is too. And I love how everyone in witness protection stays within a convenient driving distance of where they were originally from

- So now you're at the "safe house" and plan on staying there........forever? Then you find out that they planted a tracking device on Claire's fine arse and know where you are. So now do you call for shitloads of backup knowing that the bad guys are on their way or do you grab a few guns and one box of ammo and say frick it we are doing this Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid style? Of course it's option B

- Excellent "state of the art" security system at that house by the way

- And of course Ryan's ex is in the cult. Why the frick not? And I love how they presented that as some huge twist like we havent seen it before. And it was a character that had a total of about 30 seconds of screen time before that.

But dude he put the door jam up

And who is funding this entire mansion filled with people? Do none of them work other than Roderick?
