Kirsten’s work is starting to pose a real danger to her family. Previous incidents like the VR game and the Halloween ‘visitor’ could not be attributed directly to her work, but this one can. Oh and also the journals that Leland tried to give her daughters that had the symbol from the ancient text on them–that certainly freaked her out.

Absolutely -

The part of this show I could do without is David’s personal life, and the forbidden romance thing.  
Overall, I’m enjoying it.

Agreed, though I think there’s going to end up being more to her than we know. (Like, what’s up with the note in his dead girlfriend’s handwriting?)

Had to bump after this weeks episode -

a) David just can’t catch a break  
b) Kristen’s takedown of Leland was fantastic.  
c) - well - you’ll just have to see the final scene with Leland - but that was a hellofa reveal.

Not sure exactly where this thing is going to end up - but that was fantastic - with a side of foreshadowing.

I was a little disappointed.

Too many parallels to the previous weeks show.

Did Colter piss off the writers or something? Lol

It was, though I do think there is an alternative interpretation of that scene. If Leland is crazy, then that scene could just be a representation of his psychosis.

oh - absolutely - I just thought it was hilarious. I’m back to questioning how they are playing this out and where it will end up.

I hope it is (especially in light of the reveal about his history) because that scene skated the line between “creepy” and “cheesy.” If it was literal, it definitely leaned toward the latter.

I’m disappointed that we’re up to the season finale already, but glad it got renewed. This show has grown on me hard (even though I still don’t like the gaggle of shrieky kids).
