    At this point I don't even know what to ask outside of the obvious (where did the Departed go? Who is Wayne? etc.) because I literally have a question after every scene LOL

      Alright, now this was the first episode I consider well-done. Well-written.

      Still have plenty of questions.

      Things are starting to really cook now. The police chief definitely engaged in some debauchery with his daughter's friend. She was just chillin at the house with no bra on. Yikes.

        I was watching with my sister (which makes sex scenes a little more awkward!), and she's always bitching about how the daughter's friend is never wearing a bra, haha.

        I got the sense that she drugged him or something. He didn't seem all that interested in her, but she definitely is interested in him. "Hey I'm just gonna chill at your house alone with your dad!"

          It's slightly implicated, but I'm not entirely sure that's what happened during his blackout/dreaming.

          I am so intrigued to see what he sees within that Nat Geo magazine. The hugging guru has girls spread out all over the place pregnant with his children, odd.

          I am beyond invested into this show now, it's a borderline obsession. Keeps getting better & better the deeper into their rabbit hole they take us.

            Its a pretty mediocre show. But I'll watch it. At least its different, I'll give it that. Most likely in the end, I'll look back and say, yep it was a pretty bad to mediocre series. I thought the episode before this last one was probably the best of the series so far. The crazy grandpa angle doesn't intrigue me, I'm semi interested in the Wayne subplot. I like Nora's character a lot, and I don't mind seeing random acts of violence against the Guilty Remnant.

              Intrigued to see what happens with Nora and the smokers clan they obviously want her, I wonder if she goes and why

                I'm an older guy but this series has me a bit taken.....not sure if many of you saw the Twin Peaks series some years back. It's definitey not David Lynch but I think he would give the thumbs up!

                  Definitely.

                    I started watching because of you guys and so far so good - but...

                    The smokers clan is just ridiculous and here's why:

                    what is the allure? I'm thinking if I'm there, what do they have that I want? Why would I want to join? Also since they don't work, who/what is their BIG financial backing? I can understand things are to be revealed, but basically I know as much as any new joiner/intrigued person and from the outside it just seems creepy and negative no?

                      I'm not sure they would need a huge financial backing. Imagine if they have 100 members and they all vowed to hand over their assets. If they each had net worth of $100K, that would be $10,000,000. That church they bought was only $130,000.

                      They probably do have someone or something backing them, but most of these people are adults who probably had jobs, houses, etc, before deciding to smoke and be mute.

                      Think if they recruited that Nora, she's got $$ coming out of her ears. If she signed it all over to the looneys, that's a lot of smokes and cheap white Walmart clothes.

                        Off topic but I recommend the book the wayward pines. This post makes me think you will absolutely enjoy the read. I read it in a day lol. Good stuff

                          Nora's $ is hers or her husbands?
                          Either way - even without the money - taking it right out of the equation, I still don't see the allure of joining. There is no message, there is no purpose, just creepy smoking wal-mart wearing zombies lol

                            For sure. The Pines and Wayward are two of my favorite books. Still gotta read the third one.

                            It's being made into a series in 2015 on FOX as well.

                              IIRC, people got money for "compensation" if they had a member of their family depart on the 14th. Since her whole family departed, she got quite a bit of money in compensation.
