Yes it always amazes me why they don't just shoot everyone. They had already stabbed the innocent bloke so why not shoot them anyway and hope he gets away.
And giving up their guns was definitely a no no.
It all makes no sense. I'm only watching it to see how ridiculous it all gets.
That should be the strapline for this show!! I just laugh my head off at it. Last weeks' took the biscuit as now the biggest psycho seems to be the FBI bloke. Ryan is such a terrible 'hero' hope he gets killed soon.
Poor Mike Shawn Ashmore was incredible in that last scene - so believable.
I was reading comments on facebook and I definitely agree with one which said that that's probably the most believable crying scene that's been on TV. It's definitely the best I've ever seen - it's rare that you get that much rawness and actual tears too.
I had read that Shawn was very good in the episode and up until the last 5 mins, I did wonder why they had said that because apart from the small chat with Ryan about how the last year had been, he didn't do anything.
I thought the Huntsman wasn't as good as it could have been - Lee, who played him, is an amazing actor (Beecher in Oz, anyone?) and so I felt he could have been used more. However, I'm glad Max is OK.
The new cult....it reminds me of when Sawyer, Kate and Jack were kidnapped by the Others in Lost! However, it makes a change and I agree with some comments I've read that you're kind of liking them now and hating Lily and her group!

He had just realised what show he is in.
The little brat deserved a kicking from Mike & Kev to keep up with their mad rantings, was a bit gutted they didn't also that Emma survived.
Huntsman, a wanted serial killer, bit of a build up just to be shot down.
Hope that gets Mike back to his serious arse kicking ways next week.
I'm amazed Luke still has his teeth:D....but I hope Emma is alive..:o
Another great episode....of this madness.;-)
The new cult was fun, but what of the Lie Detector test, we saw some of it, but did Joe pass.
And Max had to be caught by someone, {season 1, she would have been died now} but the Boy helping - loved the questioning by Ryan & Mike - tied up at the end.:cool:
Ive dropped the series now. I enjoyed series one and thought it should have finsihed there. It should have been a limited run one season series. I came back for season 2 thinking they could perhaps make it work, but for me, it just doesn't work. It gets crazier by the week. This is a perfect example of one show being stretched to the point of absurdity!
really another bloody cult........>:(.....OK then at this point I seriously expect a major really really high up government group to be behind some of this shiz aswell.
The mike scene at the end should not have worked really but it did thanks to his acting alone he made it a very sad scene
the FIB (intentional:p) had sniffer dogs and yet still they were absolutely useless again HAHA
its funny when they show them in the FBI HQ place every episode barking out plans yet we know they wont achieve anything just go home guys:D
nice wacky entertainment this show is though im dying to see how wacky it gets after this cult im thinking maybe a whole town next for season 3:D then a country for s4 if it makes it that far ha

Which happened every week, in season 1.....for me, it's calmed down a bit from the first, less crazy, but still totally unbelievable, and still - hugely enjoyable.
Hey guys, so I've just half-struggled through series 1. Enjoyed some of the plotlines (the three psychos in the house, the episode when they were targetting women with Claire's name) but some of the others not so much. (Most of the last episodes actually, it already felt like they were running out of ideas). But I always felt like the show had a lot of potential.
However after watching the first episode of series 2 I'm starting to wonder if there's any point carrying on with it. They've killed off all the interesting characters like Parker, I was genuinely sad that she didn't make it.
Also the "gay" followers Paul and Jacob had a lot of potential as characters, I would've liked their relationship to develop more/ expand their character histories. But no, insipid and annoying Emma kills them. (please tell me she's dead already!)
Now after watching the first ep of series 2 all my emotional investment is gone now Claire's seemingly been killed off. And the rest is same old same old.
So what I'm asking is, honestly, is there any point catching up with series 2?
I only watch The Following to see how much more stupid it can get each week and it never disappoints.Im just suprised that some people on this thread take the show seriously!
Maybe the plan is just heading for an all out war between all the different cults in the show and Ryan caught up in the middle whilst he hunts Joe!
Wasn't sure if the cult woman was talking literally or spiritually when she said she was
I wondered that as well, and meant he would see her soon as they wold be killing him eventually, but tend to agree that she will be alive literally, lf they wanted to kill her that way they would have slit the wrists the other way(slit going up the arm as apposed to across it), as that way it kills you quicker as the blood loss is a lot more and a lot quicker, plus it is easier to patch up your wrists when you slice across

I hear you there

I wonder what Lily will do now after that phone call with Joe. Will she try and kill him?
The new cult is crazy, almost laughed out loud at the divining rod bit. Will be good to see the battle of wills between Joe and the leader.
The Hunter's son deserved what he got.
Almost had your wish granted.
It amazes me how killers like her get all frustrated when they are about to be killed. Empathy dear?
Mika's wife has a look of Kara Tointon about her.
Edited to say...oh no that was horrible......poor Mike

A good episode though.

She only bled out for a minutes then passed out. I think she's fine. They just wanted a contribution to the cause.

Still feel my dream of Joe and Ryan uniting to take down another cult could well happen

Just to see how ridiculous it gets.
Yeah but his reactions to the lunacy going on around him are worth watching. I've said it before but I really only watch it for Purefoy.
