It was driving me nuts that Giselle kept taking them down. An FBI agent and a cop! Come on, not every time.

That family is weirder and weirder. The twin not being able to be touched ?

Looks like Ryan finally wises up about help though

Yup.... Agree with everything you guys are thinking about this show.... I like it, but it's also making me crabby.... Can Ryan be that stupid to go off by himself all the time???? They need to turn some of these silly things around.....

Agreed, Ryan is an idiot.

Yeah he is, he led the 2 killers to a house and could have easily got that woman killed. He even threatened her himself.
He also stated he isnt interested in the other killers, just joe, because he want to kill him for personal reasons.
he seems to be becoming more like the killer he is chasing?

This show has no likable characters, the hero ryan you say is a idiot, and he just wants revenge not catch all the killers, so not much of a hero.

The killers are all sickos who like killing for the fun of it.... except when one of them are killed then they cry like babies.

I now think maybe no offense, but maybe we are the idiots if we keep watching ?
I think that is the last one I watch.

Ryan knows that the FBI is held back by law and procedure. Plus he knows that the cult has inviltrated the FBI, the cops - he knows they're everywhere. He doesn't know who to trust so he trusts himself. Plus at this point, its personal. Joe took a lot from him - his career, Claire, Joey. Of course he wants revenge.

Is Joey still alive? I missed that..or was he written out of the script?

Joey is in protective custody with his Grandmother.

I am not ready to give up on Ryan yet. Next weeks preview, show Mike telling someone he thinks someone in the FBI has been compromised, and it is implied (I read it somewhere) that Ryan goes to the FBI.

The cult itself is hard to believe at least for me. makes no sense.

I dont have a problem with him getting revenge, unless he gets others (innocents like the woman in the house) killed in getting it.
He has also endangered his niece.
Part of the hook is him wanting revenge and so does the audience.
And why would someone in the fbi be a part of the joe " lets kill somebody" cult??
I can buy a few people but not a lot of them all over.

It makes no sense to me either. But I have watched documentaries, on cults. The leaders are usually narcissistic, or sociopaths, or have a messiah complex, or control freaks to an extreme. I am sure I missed a few reasons.

People join,because of the need to be needed, or they really believe in what the leader says, or they want to believe in something, any number of reasons.

remember the Rapture a few years ago when people all over were convinced that the world was going to end so they sold all their possessions, quit their jobs? I was surprised one day to leave work and see signs proclaiming that the end was near.

My point (I think) is that a cult can be far-reaching and convince people of the most asinine things. I don't think its that far fetched. Hell, death row inmates received marriage proposals. People are strange.
