Season Two: The Following. It has begun.

I just finished the first episode of the second season of The Following. I knew that Joe Carroll was not dead. I called it when the first season ended. Sorry for the spoiler, but if you've watched the commercials, you'd have seen that it was quite obvious that Joe Carroll was not dead. How else would there be a story to go on with?

All I have to say is: Thank God there is another episode tomorrow night.

Now that it's been said, let's get on with the analysis of the first episode of this new season.

First of all, Emma's new look is completely ridiculous. I understand she's trying to be someone entirely different from who she was before, but still, the punk rock look doesn't suit her.


I was impressed with the masks they had going on. They had the Poe masks in the first season, and now they have the Carroll masks in the second season. I don't know if Carroll had any idea about this or not yet, but my instincts are telling me this is a sign for things to come.

I was disappointed to hear that Claire was dead, but it gives the story more depth and a reason for Kevin Bacon's character to hate Joe Carroll even more than he did before. Bacon's character knows that Carroll is still alive.

All this stuff, all the killing, one year later, is a little cliche. Especially having the girl set up like that, at the end, with Carroll's book in her hands, The Lighthouse.

I feel as though this season might top the first. I thoroughly enjoyed the first season, and I'm excited and anxious to see how to things unfold.

P&L,
