Speaking of clean: How the hell do the cops think Jessica murdered a guy in such a messy fashion without getting a drop of blood on her. Doesn’t make any damn sense.

I wonder if - assuming it’s intentional - the idea isn’t to make it clear that they’re prejudiced against people with powers and not just all-purpose bigots. The writers could figure: show a white person being anti-super, people will think he just hates anyone different from himself, but show a black person being…

Counterpoint: Burress is black.

“This season has added two more women to its regular cast (Janet McTeer’s Killer and Leah Gibson’s Inez Green), both of whom are white.”

Or it could not have worked because the landlord simply didn’t want to fuck a random tenant? I agree with the review that bringing up the Cambodian (re: suspicious country of origin) boyfriend was a contrived maneuver so it could lead to Oscar’s connection to him.

And a lot of them pull that television trope where NO ONE EVER SAYS GOODBYE on their phones. They just hang up.

What’s even more irritating is you wrote that post FIVE DAYS AGO and they STILL haven’t fixed it.

What I’m worried about with this season is that while the Purple Man arc was intense and definitive and metaphorical (and even prescient) on so many levels of our current moment, delving into a past of childhood abuse by evil scientists isn’t exactly the freshest angle in sci-fi. Fringe did it with its traumatized…

While I’m slightly disappointed that the mystery woman is the killer instead of Jessica’s brother, but I’m more bothered that what we have been shown of her doesn’t really match what we were told of her.

Trish Walker, Sister of the Year:

I haven’t finished the episode yet, but the very moment I was convinced that Griffin was purely evil was the moment he did a public proposal.

I personally hated the way they handled the support group scene, even I’m assuming they are going to return there later in the season. My issue with it was how they basically framed it how much worse Jessica has to the rest of them and how it shocking it was, which is not the point there. It’s not a race to the bottom…

So far, I’m finding this season to have lots of really nice character moments rather than outright good episodes - in this case, the peek into The Killer’s homelife and Malcolm getting ‘promoted’. The latter especially, as it gave us a rare moment of Jessica smiling to herself when he leaves.

Yeah Trish being so gung-ho to meet “Dr. Leslie Hanson” alone, when it’s been clearly stated that they may have a clandestine organization endangering their lives, coupled with what just happened to Simpson, is stretching believability and a discredit to the character somewhat. Heck, Jessica even calls her out, and…

Trish is such an infuriating character in these first three episode. Like I think I get her, especially after having watched the first season, but her constant insistance of entering dangerous situations while, for some reason, being utterly offended if anyone thinks it is a bad idea just keeps making the character so…

It really is such obvious sarcasm. I liked the send up of the traditional ‘romantic surprise ambush proposal’ with him even admitting he is asking her in front of lot of people to make it harder for her to say no. He wasn’t traditionally sinister, but the thing he was doing was also kind of shitty in its own way.

FINALLY this show gets a little more dynamic and focused by the end of the third episode.

I liked that Jessica’s been whipping out that flash light every ten seconds, but just sticks her hand in to grope around in the furnace.

Claire could have IDed the skull for them (even though as an RN that wouldn’t even be close to her field of expertise) and then spent the next eight episodes giving Jessica and Trish “you know what your problem is?” speeches.

Can no one answer their phone in this show? Very unprofessional.
