Tune in next week for another episode of As the Following turns.


Joe's whole speech about he and Ryan's connection made me think that the writers are starting to figure out that they can only have Ryan escape so many times without a plausible explanation.

Still cannot explain the Lily deal, but that is why they have cliffhangers. If she dies, does Mike go down for 1st degree murder? Of course not. So, I predict she lives....

I keep thinking there is an underlying story with Mike, something doesn't seem right with him.

RE: The Following
Well next week will be the season finale. Looks like a lot is going down in that church. But the previews seem to indicate that the only way Ryan has out is with Joe or he wants Joe alive.

Still can't figure out what Claire is doing.

RE: The Following
I totally forgot Emma used to work for Claire! Good riddance! I wish Mandy was still around. Never got a confirmation that Lily was dead, did we?

Last season, I thought Mike actually worked for Joe. In the first few episodes, there was something strange about him. But he can't die yet, he has to get together with Ryan's niece.

Ryan and Joe will be leaving the church together to go save Claire from the evil twins. How did the twins get to the resort?

Good question. And no, they didn't show anything about Lily. The fact that Ryan and Mike were together after Mike shot Lily makes me wonder who came to pick up the body. The twins weren't with their Mom so anything can happen. For Lily and Emma to go out in consecutive weeks is getting thin on characters.

I also agree that Mike seems to have some underlying issues.

I thought they were questioning Ryan's niece, and she said she was not in position to see the shooting. I missed the first min or 2 of the show.
The gunshot at the end of the show will be Ryan shooting Joe's guy they flashed on the screen right before Joe started counting.

And how do the twins know who Claire is? I know Lily did her research on Joe, but Claire was supposedly dead. My question should have been how did the twins know to go to the resort, if only Joe and Claire knew about that place? Emma the mole?

So the big question now is who picked up the twins?

And with all of the police and FBI at the mansion after everything went down, how did the surviving twin get away with his brother's body? And, is he really dead?

So now does Joe make it to prison before he escapes and what are the twin(s) up to?

I think the premise of the story surrounding Joe has played it's course. If Joe escapes before he gets to prison, meh, just more of the same cat chasing-the-tail redundancy. Ryan won't kill Joe and Joe won't kill Ryan, so if he does escape again there will be no more epic reunion of the two to look forward to. The luster of Ryan's obsession with Joe is gone now that they've teamed up like Batman and Robin. Capturing Mark isn't exactly much to look forward to. Lily and the twins were just a side plot outside of the main plot in Joe. The only thing I picked up about the driver that picked up Mark is that person may be a dentist. The letters on the license plate said "DDS."

Seems like the show is going to fizzle out soon after this.

You got the tag? DDS? Wow, you are more observant than I am and what a clue.

Are you old enough to remember the TV Series The Fugitive? It took them about four or five seasons to catch David Kimball. Who turned out to be innocent.

RE: The Following
I expect next season to have a lot of prison visits between Ryan and Joe. Weird how Claire blew Ryan off, though. About time for Max and Mike.

Does anyone know if Lily is dead? The twins are not evil enough to carry the show through another season.

I agree, unless Hannibal makes an appearance, the show has effectively killed itself.

I think there could still be a lot of angles they could go to make the show effective. Joe could become the advisor to Ryan, whoever the new person is could prove to be even more deadly... I think capturing who was Joe's mentor so easily was disappointing.

The twins referred to their mother being dead in the last episode. You would think in the episode there would be some mention on the news that she died and how she died, given her status in society. They killed Mike's father and he killed their mother.

Now I'm not sure if the one twin is dead, or like I said earlier, how the other twin was able to remove his body from a crime scene full of FBI and police.

Ryan told Joe he would not visit him in jail. I like where some of you are going with the Hannibal analogy, using Joe in jail to track down a copycat serial killer.

There is still a lot they can do with the show. I am not honestly sure if they were planning a season 3 or not, but just left the door open in case they decided to go that way.

I don't think the show is in any way done or lost its audience.
