Got to watch it last night. Made some notes on my phone while watching. Here goes:

- "Joe Cole was convicted of the murder of 14 women in..." AHHHHHHHH That's who that guy is. Thanks for the recap. Again.

- Are we supposed to care about any of the love story angles on this show? Hardy and Joe's wife. Joe and Emma. Emma and Jacob. I know I dont

- My favorite scene last night: Weston beats down a man suspected of being attached to a cultist militia group after he attacked Hardy from behind in a booby trapped house they are searching for evidence in and the female FBI agent acts shocked?!?!? Has she not been paying attention to what these people have been doing?

- I think the writers did hear my thoughts for once when Weston became the first character on the show to turn on a light switch before they began searching the basement. I was beginning to think that flashlights were the only source of light other than the sun. However as we learn the entire basement is not lit

- How big is this fricking basement under this seemingly small, old, shitty house? Enough room for several area and for people to sneak around others I guess

- Cell signal jammer. Why not. One would think they would be in constant radio contact throughout this entire mission and once that was gone backup would arrive.

- For a sheriff Roderick sure does have a lot of time to hang out at the compound

- Ryan Hardy backstory and......yep.....it's confirmed. He is Spiderman.

- How long were they in that basement? Pitch black when they came outside

- So let me get this right about Jacob's father: Jacob fled their vacation home because dad was going to call the cops once he knew he was there. So Jacob calls him. Wouldn't you think the dad would then hang up the phone and notify the police? Jacob used a normal cell phone so they could just figure out which tower was used for the call and track him down. Maybe he had an app to block that though.

- WOW. Hardy really is Spiderman. Getting revenge on his father's killer. Let's not think about how a 17 year old with no police training or anything was able to hunt down and kill a heroin addict wanted for murder before the cops could find him. Let's just go with it.

- Hey Roderick is sheriffing. Look at that.

Great post as always. Agree with all of it. But the 2 above were the ones that really kill me. Its just lazy writing.

I thought the same thing. I kept waiting for Hardy to go back home to Aunt May. I am sure we will have a flash back to Hardy's dad telling him "with great power comes great responsibility".

My favorite thing in this episode was the old shitty house with a bullet proof interrogation chamber. I think I saw Bob Vila install one of those on "This Old House".

Didn't Weston see Roderick? Roderick on the scene, Weston conveniently in the ambulance to be taken to the hospital for his non-existent injuries. Or did Weston want to avoid coming face to face with Roderick in front of the FBI because he is an undercover cult member after all?

I forgot about this, which is weird, because it really bothered me a lot while watching it.
