at that second episode ending with the box! Seriously disturbing stuff.
Officially hooked again though on this brilliant show. I wonder when Joe will be back.
I agree, I think this episode stepped it up a notch. It took me a good 4 episodes in Season 2 to get back into it, but Season 3 has been brilliant straight away in my opinion.
But it didn't really do anything new. I wouldn't say it was bad but I'd like to see what 'The Following' is really trying to say, as so far it doesn't seem to have a message.
Personally I don't think that a TV show needs to contain a message to be good. It can work well, but in other cases it comes across as pretentious and propaganda-like. If a show is entertaining (like the Following IMO) then that's more than good enough for me.
I know Ryan and the others were busy chasing Neal but I'm surprised there was no mention at the FBI HQ about the News team being killed/kidnapped.
Speaking of Neal thought it was a little odd that a Police Car took part in the chase but once it was over and they were in a standoff with Neal there was no sign of any Police.
Did they just decide to stay in their Car parked in the background?
I don't understand why people like this show any more. It really isn't doing anything new or imaginative.
How many times can people see another person killed for no reason?
It isn't even entertaining in a camp way like it used to be.
But you still watch it?
I love the show, but I'm really invested in the characters now. The hook for me isn't the killing aspect (and never has been), it's the way it affects Ryan, Mike and Max that I like to watch.

At the moment it is a 'watch and forget' type show. Took me days to get up the energy to watch the latest episode. And that was mainly because I'd run out of stuff to watch, and had a Chromecast installed so didn't have to move to the TV to watch it.

This is getting boring now. Are we ever gonna see Joe? I don't care for Mark and he hasn't even got proper followers. I loved this show but i'm gonna be switching off soon if this dross continues.
As with any "baddie" they have their time and I think last season showed he has had his time.
Wonderful actor and a fantastic performance but that's not enough reason to put him into a story.
A much better story is how far will Ryan,Max and Mike go to keep what happened secret? Its already caused the deaths of many people and is clearly affecting Ryan and Max in a negative way.
Stories need to evolve and change with what happens. Just having "Joe and his followers" every season would not work.

All the later villains have been/will be cardboard cut out replacements for them
For anyone who hasn't seen ep 2 yet though, I think it could change your minds if you thought the first ep was bland.

"We have to make sense of all this"
"He never had it"
Made me laugh
Another good ep this week, I thought.

It is a new show so I hope word gets around that it's different in a good way!

What did you think to this week's episode?
The two with Mark, get more interesting - and after Max now {the folder woman}...plus I feel the Doc should run.
And Marks interview was fun...:o
"Wrong answer"
I feel like we're about to get all Season 1 of Homeland with the cameras in Max's flat!
I still feel there is no Big Bad in the show. Mark is more a side villian. Nasty for the sake of it, without any real drive or motive.
The couple are bland and annoying.
Did we actually see inside the box? Was it just the agent's head or the whole body?
It didn't do anything for me that his head might have been in there. Seen it all before.
The show isn't the same without Emma.

I think killing off Emma was a mistake.
Much more interesting character then Joe. Should have killed him off
Still more chasing and getting away. How much more incompetent are these lot going to be?
