Plot Hole or Massive Worry: God, I'm really, really worried about whether Matt's wife is alive and if the nurse stayed.

It's funny, because no matter which one you think isn't, there will be a very vocal backlash.

I always make sure to not tune out well regarded criticism when it's coupled with completely logical wishes of ill fates and death upon the target.

The beer thing, dear christ.

Best name for a serial killer ever. Texas really does do it big.

I had to load more comments twice to get through this fucking subthread. I wanted to read shit about Jack the Ripper damnit, not see the comments hijacked.

Seems, yes. No violence against members as far as you can tell, no nefarious stated purpose so far.

He's blond, he's pissed, he'll see you in the lists, Lichtenstein! Lichtenstein! He's blond, he's tanned, he comes from Gelderland, he comes from Gelderland! Gelderland, Gelderland, Gelderland… Gelderland, Gelderland, Gelderland…

Sounds like the kind of explanation a cult leader who loves young girls would give…

I think she was referring to not taking away her possessions and isolating her enough. And yeah, I really can't wait to see what's up with Eccleston' character. Have they said what religion he preached before the event?

I love Aimee, but yeah, total bad influence. She is a gadfly.

I loved the scene with Meg's fiance. Really laid home the conflicts going on. The GR seems benign, but it reminds me of doomsday cults. Again, a lot of the ideas going on here seem to tie directly into things from the Second Great Awakening, and I don't find the Upstate NY setting a coincidence. The GR seem to share…

I thought they had a big whiteboard for chores and shit?

I thought for a second, given the flashback Kevin seemed to have last season and tonights dream, that he had been fucking Aimee when the event happened. Then I realized she'd have been like, 14 or 15 and realized no way HBO would have its protagonist be a pedo.

Aimee and Jill both acknowledged the dog guy. He's definitely real.

When he talked about taking his pain away, I seriously thought Wayne was going to blow him, to "get the poison out of him"

Wayne is full of shit. If anyone is making definitive statements about him actually having magical hugs, they need to slow their roll.

I mean, can she really have been that special since it seemed he had a harem of about two dozen of them there? I think he's just saying she's special because Tom thinks she's special.

Well assuming they get rid of material possessions, and they seem to look down on outside communication, it wouldn't make much sense to have cell phones now would it?

So apparently some people thought the dog killing truck driving dude was a figment of Kevin's imagination, or at least people watching with me did. So it made me super glad that he was acknowledged by someone else in this episode, even though I thought he was real the entire time.
