So what does PVR stand for, in the States we have DVR's, which are digital video recorders.

it was pretty good. we'll watch again

I loved it! Will definitely watch.

Did anyone else think that Kevin Bacon looked awfully thin? He has always been thin, but he looked way thinner than usual.

Maybe he wanted that look for the part? dunno

Posts : 18214 Join date : 2012-04-09 Age : 48

Yes, in the beginning his legs were skinny. His face is a little thin.

Speaking of serial killer themes.....

I watched it. The pilot felt a little rushed, but I can forgive that, they seem to have to do that these days if they want to make it past episode 3. I think the show has serious potential based on plot and acting talent. I just hope it doesn't disappoint with the execution the way Person of Interest did for me.

I watched it today, and even though, that is usually a genre I like, I really liked it. Several mini heart attacks, during the show.

He does look a bit thin, but any pictures I have seen of him, with his wife, he has been thin.

I do have an issue with, how easily, the serial killer, was able to access the internet, and create all those sites and such. I know he was smart, but come on, you think the prison would run checks on those computers. Other than that, I really liked it

Tonights eppie, did not creep me out, as much as last weeks eppie did. I will have to rewatch, because I was on FB at the same time.

I did laugh, when they had 6 guards file into the room where Ryan/Bacon, was going to talk to the SK. Apparently, they do not trust Ryan/Bacon alone with the SK. lol.

It creeped me out a little. I actually gasped/lightly shrieked when the Poe masked guy came after Ryan Embarassed

I think I'm going to have to brush up on my Poe.

Subject: Re: The Following Tue Jan 29, 2013 8:46 pm

Yea, I was thinking the same thing about reading Poe. So, is the new FBI lady in the cult too?

I was wondering that myself. It could just be a red herring since that would be kinda obvious.

iBooks had some Poe stuff for free. I got a poem and a story collection.

I think I'm addicted to ebooks smilingnerd

I rewatched today. I did jump again when the uber creepy Poe guy, attacked Ryan/Bacon.

It never crossed my mind that the new FBI lady, would be a member of the SK cult. And I really hope that is not true. I did notice the eye contact between her and SK, but I thought that was more of show-down, of who would break eye contact first.

What was the name of the book, that she gave him?

it was the Complete Works of Poe

was it a gift? or a FBI mind game to try to get into his head?

SK, said he had requested some reading material. I am guessing, that was on his request list. And I think the FBI lady, took it to him on purpose, so she could look him in the eye.

I really like it, and on Mondays eppie, there were a couple of shots of Kevin Bacons butt, I thought of that as a bonus. tongue

That said, I really like the show, the twists and turns, surprises, creepy Emma and her 2 boyfriends. *rolls eyes*

They can all die, or go to jail, Joe the cult leader, has more followers at his disposal.

I'm getting a tad annoyed, and want some answers already.

Sound familiar? lol2

i think it's a good show, but I think it's not going to have a long life span...i give it 1 or 2 seasons ....

i miss 666 park personally Sad

Subject: Re: The Following Tue Feb 26, 2013 11:37 am

As long as people stay hooked I think this show will last... it got picked up for a second season after its 2nd episode... it brings in over 10 million viewers... nothing compared to 666 Parks average of 4 million veiwers...

Always baffles me the decisions these netowrks make.. I mean look at Fringe it only average about 1 - 1.5 million viewrs and stayed on for over 4 seasons... yet 666 averages 4 million, is a well written show and it gets cancelled... makes no sense!

They should have at least rescued the kid last night, pretty cheap plot tool to have the local cop be in on it. It is starting to get unbelievable to me.

they're all dead already...its purgatory...again

Guest

NO no no...this is a terrific show...currently 3 episodes behind, but I love the vibe of it...

Guest

Somebody better get more characters in this show, they're killing everybody off omg

I agree.

And, it seems like every episode is now going to be about which unexpected character is revealed to be part of Carroll's groupies.

This most recent episode is the first time I have felt that way, because I have really liked the show up until now. I think there should be more to the plot than who's a groupie.

I'll still keep watching and hope the plot picks up a bit more.

Guest

Also, based on the last episode, I wonder if part of the plot twist will now be which of the "following" turn on each other. Maybe Carroll will have them all turn on each other in one way or another.

Yeah that rub a dub threesome in the shower tells you where that trio is going...

Agreed with the "come on" factor of having all those cops and fbi in on it...
I like Emma she's a neat character. I like the boys too The Following 4209711478

hate the specialist cop... why on earth did we need to see her back story?? dumb. she's just awful The Following 3912399989

i was really annoyed the kid didnt get rescued too
