Oh, please tell me that Chilton is just in protective custody…

He could have survived that bullet to the cheek… :(

It makes sense, yet Alana has always been the most underwritten character on the show, just by exclusion, even as her motivations and criticisms are understandable within the context of the show.

I'm in the same boat with everyone who isn't pointing their finger at Hannibal. It's kinda maddening. If there's a consolation prize, it's that we know this is pre-Red Dragon, so there'll be a time hopefully soon where he'll be exposed. Please…

Todd hit the mark when he said the show lost its edge when the shock of seeing people shot in the head wore off.

Don't forget that Saward gave an interview toward the end of his tenure where he basically stated that Colin Baker was miscast in the role.

Once, I saw in an interview with Pip and Jane Baker where they stated weren't fans of the series before JNT hired them on, which is kinda obvious. That's not a requisite for being a writer on Doctor Who, yet all their scripts have a very pedestrian quality to them.

I got a little tickle catching that line — I think everyone did. Also, did I catch a nod to 'Hannibal' with Gideon feeding on his own leg?

Admittedly, it was a broad (and probably unfair comparison). Where I saw parallels was, like Blood Meridian, The Following IS the violence and little else. Although, I realize that with McCarthy he's deconstructing violence in general, whereas the former seems to apply the shotgun approach to everything. McCarthy is…

This show's been on for a year now but I finally figured out an appropriate comparison to it in Cormac McCarthy's 'Blood Meridian.' That book inundated the reader with violence in order to convey some sort of transformative power. 'The Following' does something similar with its audience week-to-week, even if it's done…

Now, almost two eras removed from Tennant's time as The Doctor, I forget that some of his best moments come with a feverish intensity built into the acting. Between the aforementioned silent moment between 10 and Martha in '42' and 10's rescue of Bowie Base One in 'The Waters of Mars,' they're some of my favorite…

You know, bringing Mulder in for "Sunshine Days" might have been worthwhile. It's totally rationale that he would come out of hiding just investigate some goofy Brady house, even if were incognito. It'd be too tempting for him not to do.

Conversely, no one would have wanted to see Jesse Pinkman to die in that meth lab. We were actively rooting for him to plow through that gate. I know I was.

To quote his character Le Chiffre from Casino Royale, "You've taken good care of your body, such a waste."

Way to bury the lede, AV Club. Touche.

I SAID WHERE'S MR. COOKIEPANTS!?

Too pretty.

Do it, Will! The man is a national treasure!

Yaaay!!!! West Wing!!!!

See Natalie Zea return. The Following obviously don't like viewer. See them insult intelligence of all life forms watching. Mutter silently under breath. Curse and belittle viewer.
