3.8 Kill The Messenger
The Following has faced a bit of an uphill battle this season to catch viewer interest. I think one of the big problems, which I've discussed, is the lack of Joe versus Ryan.

The surprise of the random Followers, Roderick, Classic Poe, and all the rest of it just helped to add to the enjoyment of the ridiculous, brilliant, awesomely dumb show about murderers and FBI agents murdering one another.

I think you might want to ask someone else for family advice." - Patty I don't know about you but I screamed aloud at my television when the screen faded to black at the end of this week's cliffhanger-laden episodes of Damages ("Tell Me I'm Not Racist"), written by Todd A. Kessler and directed by David Tuttman. It was a scream derived not from frustration but from an excruciating anticipation for the next installment of this quicksand-like legal thriller. Over three seasons, we've come to know these characters intimately, but this week's episode seemingly pulled the rug out from right underneath us, revealing that we'd been standing over a bottomless pit all along. In an episode that was seemingly devoid of the future timeframe or flashbacks (or was it?), this week's installment marked a...
