Or a furry convention.

Yeah, not telling Ryan about Claire really bugged me too. The only excuse they gave was the very strict protocol from the Department of Annoying Plot Twists, and apparently this was the one rule Mike decided to follow.

That is a completely unconvincing argument…. unless you repeated it 15 more times, then I'm in!

You really can't complain if you're casually killed off after you've joined a cult of literal redshirts.

I agree. Maybe it's just because my examples are mostly from comedies, but all I can think of is a lot of "false alarms" (pregnancy scares that last for one or two episodes).

Dropping plates when you hear bad news.

I hate "arguing with crazy." A lunatic is standing in front of you with an ax, saying you were meant to be together/the Chinese cost him his job/the planetary alignment will bring the end of times, and instead of saying "Excellent points, let's talk more tomorrow," they always feel the need to debate.

Ryan was actually killed by the stabbing at the end of season one, and Max is an angel sent to give Ryan closure before he moves on.

Plus Dan Aykroyd in Dragnet.

Plus the black daughter who basically became invisible the second Emma showed up.

Ah, but we never actually SAW the beard getting cut off! I'll bet it turns out that the beard is actually the FBI agent's brother, and hopefully it will start going on it's own killing spree.

Yeah, and are we sure Gisele doesn't have a twin?

I love how the mother was like, "No, you can't take your brother, you must take M. Redshirt."

Those guys were Ryan's FBI tail and Ryan was showing how he had totally made them… but your version is much better.

I think it's because Ryan believes Joe is alive and so doesn't think the FBI will take him seriously— which I am guessing is also why they make Mike so adamant that Joe being alive is totally impossible, in spite of all of the other craziness that's going on. That in no way explains why Ryan didn't call a SWAT team…

Wait… Jana is her sister? I thought she was her ex, given all that talk about "joint custody," etc.

Someone was, however, "garrotted" — which I believe is French for "stabbing while having an orgasm."

Plus, Frenchy wanting to kill that guy is perhaps the only plot point that's had any continuity over these episodes.

Sims has earned his crazy.

Yeah, I thought the show did a nice job of portraying Peter as at least somewhat understandable. I mean, if you're using them for healing rather than pyro-cide, why not treat the nanites as a divine source of good?
