OK. We'll that was stupid. Tell me again why Mike or Max couldn't go after an injured Mark as he's carrying his presumably, but probably not, dead twin? For the life of me, I can't figure out who picked up the twins at the end. It would have to be an existing character, otherwise, what's the point? Oh fuck it. I don't give a shit anyway.

My DVR decided to stop recording just as Leslie and Ben walked into The Elevator of the Future. Can someone clue me in please on what I missed?

Random thought - Montclair, NJ isn't exactly known as a magnet for smarmy, sweet-talking southern televangelists. Prediction for season 3: first half will feature Ryan and Joe teaming up to save Claire from the Blunder Twins. With said mission being impossibly accomplished, the second half will feature Ryan, Joe and Claire joining together a la the Trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman to save little Joey from the Grey Boyz. Featuring Mike Weston as Aquaman. If this show steals this idea without paying me the normal rate of $100 that its current writers earn per episode, lawsuits will be filed. I've got witnesses.

Are we to assume that the Blunder Twins followed Claire's cab out to Lake Wobegon, because there's no way they would have known where she was going. If so, it was great timing to carjack that poor extra and get to Midtown Manhattan just as Claire was getting to the church that they would have had no idea she was going to, so they would be able to follow a cab through NYC and all the way up to the boondocks without being detected or getting lost. And don't even get me started on what the cab fare would have been.

I hope Lily gave the twins her PIN code or passwords or whatever, cause they're going to need some money right quick. Oh, and because this must be said: Worst. Mercenaries. Ever.

Thanks, Snookums. I fell better about watching this crap now. My only request is that Preacher Man be forever called Preacher Ed, because he was Ed, after all. Well, until he gets stabbed anyway.

This show is getting hard to take. It's not the implausibly silly plots, where Ryan and Mike thinks it's best if they try to take down Joe and his followers all by their lonesome, only to see them get away at the last minute due to lack of backup. It's not the weekly slasher porn of stabby stabby and slit throats. It's not the apparently untraceable financial empire of Lily Grey, who could teach Al Qaeda a thing or two about running a terrorist organization in your targets' backyard. It's not even the fact that Ryan isn't thrown in Gitmo for the seemingly hundreds of times his dopey actions have let the bad guys get away. It's that it's becoming so boring and repetitive that i can't wait for it to end. Are they really going to be able to sustain another whole season of this Bizarro Groundhog Day? I may have to start hanging around Manhattan coffee shops and book stores, hoping for a mercy throat slashing of my own.

The Following, which is my current favorite show to hate watch, seems to have ripped off this current iteration of the Freddie Lounds character, although in its typically obvious and ham handed way. That's what makes that show so awful. Praise Hannibal.
