    I thought this show couldn't make me squirm anymore then I watched a guy get brutally stabbed in the throat, another guy purposefully choke himself to death and then watched as Emma, Jacob and Paul taught a little boy how to kill a mouse.


    This show is SICK! So why can't I look away?

    I don't even know where to begin. Thank you, Fox, for this show. In previous "reviews" I've said how amazing the writing is, thanks to Kevin Williamson. I've talked about how fantastic the acting is and therfore the portrayal for Ryan Hardy by Kevin Bacon and Joe Carroll by James Purefoy. Hell, I've even said how the secondary actors do a terrific job. Natalize Zea as Claire Matthews,and even the crazy weird trio.. Especially Emma. So onto tonight's episode:

    - The beginning with Rick catching the critic on fire was perfect. Harrowing, gripping, and chilling television. You wanted to look away, but you couldn't.
    - The scene with Claire sleeping and rolling over only to find her husband Joe in bed with her shocked the shit out of me.
    - Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy are just perfect together. Have them together at some point during every epsiode please. They just bounce off each other with AMAZING chemistry. They were made to act together.
    - I loved seeing more of the "follower gang" in the "tree house" acting out their "parts" together. Seeing some new followers therewas nice as well.
    - I'm sorry, I DID NOT see the wife of Rick being an accomplice. Shocked the living hell out of me.
    - I also loved how brilliantly Kevin Williamson did the whole Rick/Wife stabbing scene playing off the Billy and Stew stabbing scene from Scream. Brilliant... You're just great Kevin.
    - The entire scene with Rick's wife at their house and Ryan Hardy... great.
    - Jordy... what to say about Jordy. Well, firstly, great acting job. Just great. The actors are literally knocking all of their
    roles out of the park in this show. It makes the show THAT much more enjoyable.
    - I won't say I "called" the gay couple actually being... gay. But I had an inclination that was going to be the case.
    - The end. What to say about the end. LOVED LOVED LOVED it. Didn't see that coming either. The whole scene with killing an ant, then a rat, and then onto bigger things was just great. Natalie Zea knocked it out of the park as well with her emotion. That whole final scene was just perfection.

    I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record but... come on. This show is just firing on all cylinders. Knocking every fast pitch out of the park. Kevin Williamson and Fox has something really, truly special on their hands. My exuberant excitement can't be stressed anymore. I really just may have a new favorite show. Another 10/10 for me.

    B/c KW is AWESOME that's why! I loved this episode, I knew a lot of what was gonna happen, well some stuff(Couple actually turning gay after their experimenting. Paul will definitely blow their cover. Paul grabbing that girl Megan so he wouldn't be a 3rd wheel. Having Rick kill the Dean,(loved that head tilt btw)....,not all (Not that KW is predictable, b/c he's not) I've been a fan of KW for years!! And I could sense of how much of himself was in this episode, it was great. Aww man that video, I feel so bad for Joey, poor boy doesn't have a clue..That video was brilliant though, Ryan is definitely feeling soooo guilty. I loved the flashbacks of Ryan and Joe...how Joe charmed him, giving him praise on his job, what he does, all at the same time Joe is thinking, this is the hero to my story...and the twist that got me was having Rick's wife be part of the plan!! Wow, didn't see that coming....can't wait for next week!

    This show is so messed up! They are all enjoying themselves so very much, and I think I would like it more if they showed more of the reasons behind that instead of everyone stabbing each other in every other scene, like they did with Emma in the previous episode.

    Sad to see Billy Brown go. I expected him to die in every scene he was in because he was just a guest star, but I was not ready for it yet! I really like that actor.

    I actually had to turn this off because I couldn't take it. This from someone who adores The Walking Dead and American Horror Story. I might give it another try when I'm in a different mood.

    this show is incredible, i am so hooked. loved the gay couple flashbacks, although i kind of wish we got a few more of them, but i guess they will come in the future. I did see the twist of maggie being a follower right from the beginning, but it was still nice to see it playing out. everyone is so sick on this show, it's crazy.

    Great episode. I have to confess to being a little bored with the kidnapping trio's soap story, but everywhere else...was pretty up there. By far the most frightening part of the episode was the video of them beginning to corrupt that innocent little boy's mind. That was absolutely chilling.


    Never tell someone they got a text message that said "Now" I can't think of an instance where that's good. Not even when "Now" means yell happy birthday. :-)


    Loved that the nut job in the hospital bed was singing the theme song to "Greatest American Hero." I loved that show when it was on (I recommend the pilot....it actually held up pretty well after all these years.

    I loved the scenes with Ryan and Joe drinking scotch. The first episodes had me believing Ryan knew from the very beginning that it was Joe doing the killing without a doubt in his mind. Not that's not the case. I like that Ryan was blinded by the charm it adds to level of personal torment and determination.
