      Ah, didn't even consider that we didn't know who Roderick is. Why not Westin? I think that's a good guess if you're on the Westin is a follower train.

        I happen to know the answer, but can't figure out how to use the spoiler tag.

              The only thing that is bugging me a bit with this series is the incompetence of the FBI/police.

              The FBI lose Carroll's ex-wife.
              Back-up take forever to assist Hardy.
              Only 1 cop comes to the farmhouse with Ryan and is too afraid to shoot his gun.
              The elderly couple who got murdered were on the phone to police when Paul broke into their home. When Ryan & the cop found them both dead later on it showed the phone was off the hook, thus the police would have heard everything. Where is all the back-up?

              It appears to me as if they are heading towards Joey being rescued but now his mother is the one being captured.

                That's television. Only one smart, capable officer allowed per force.

                  I agree for the most part, especially the back up and losing Carroll's wife. I didn't get why it was taking so long for back up to arrive though. I know they are in a rural county and what not - but man, hit the gas, lady!

                  I really didn't want the cop to die, that part sucked because he was so scared to begin with.

                  So who thinks Jacob is either going to kill someone or snitch and give his accomplices up so he can be free?

                  I feel like the girl tied up, megan, is going to get killed in her escape or something. I really want her to make it through this - but the way this show goes, it doesn't seem like anything good seems to happen - other than Hardy still being alive.

                    That's why I've soured on this show, it's a bushleague approach to make the law enforcement essentially a band of gomer pyle's.

                    The concept of "the following" was intriguing to me, and Bacon's acting has been great... but having to digest the dawson's creek serial killer crew, not to mention the scene w/ the Poe masks on the wall in ep3, and the inevitable boggle by law enforcement every episode - that the show is just too predictable and too 'clean' for trying to be a gritty serial killer thriller.

                      For a 1st year show, I feel it's doing fine.

                      24 had all that kind of stuff, the moles in the government/White House, the moles inside CTU, the unexpected twist and turns,(killing of Terri Bauer 1st season last show) the tough guy Jack Bauer will do everything to get the answer his way, the every woman Jack dates something terrible happens to them, etc.......

                      As long as the show is suspenseful and I watch as it is, no problems on this end.

                        More absolutely brain dead police work, and these plants are becoming waaaay to convenient.

                            This show.....I don't know what to think of it now. I finally watched the latest episodes and I have to say i'm quite shocked at how the impossible happens every episode.

                            How is it possible this dude has leagues and leagues of people under his control. The show is starting to flirt to much with the possibility of anyone and everyone being in on this. It almost makes it unbearable to know that if anything were to go right for the good guys, the writers can just flip a switch and have someone be part of the cult.

                            Another thing that caught my fancy. The kid from X-Men......he was shot in his vest.....I still feel like he might be the second in command here. The lady cop who shot him must of know he was wearing a bullet proof vest....if she wanted to kill him, she should of shot him in the head. Was that shooting a poly?

                            Anyhoo, i have to admit, these last two episodes have been really good though

                              It really is no different then every action movie ever where the main bad guy has a million minions under his control for no apparent reason. When watching shows/movies like this you just have to accept it. Really liking the show.

                                I think the concept of "The Following" was something original and dynamic. However, implementation of it and the execution of the story progression have just been typical run of the mill stuff. I think Bacon is the perfect cast, and Purefoy is cunning enough to be the mastermind but the casts of all the other "killers" have sucked IMO.

                                I stopped watchin after ep3 and may at some point finish up. I like to come in here and read the comments to see if there was anything from the latest episode that WASN'T just the typical cliche/run of the mill plot climax and it seems like its just been the same bumbling idiot cops and decoying since eps 2 and 3.
