katikatYes, you're seeing right - 101-108!!! I stayed up till 2am and marathoned all 8 episodes! And it was glorious. I agree with people who say that the FBI is particularly inept in this show but except for that? Gosh, I love it!
But my real fannish obsession is...
Found on tumblr! If you know the author, let me know!
... Mike Weston, played by Shawn Ashmore. I have such a soft spot for the Ashmore brothers - I watch Warehouse 13 for Aaron and The Following for Shawn - and Mike is... Mike is perfection pure! I just adore his friendship with Kevin Bacon's Ryan Hardy. I adore that Mike didn't give up when Ryan rebuffed him at first and how he slowly became Ryan's only real friend and ally, someone Ryan could trust implicitly. That's just so, so awesome!
* I really don't think it was a good idea for Ryan to bring Mike to Joe's attention. Until the prisoner transfer, Joe didn't know about Mike. But now he knows that Mike is someone Ryan trusts, someone that can be used against Ryan if need be. I bet Mike will pay for it sooner or later.
* The latest ep! When Ryan realized something was wrong and found Mike's motel room thrashed! And when he found Mike stabbed and beaten! And then he sat with Mike in the hospital! And when he realized that Mike knew where Claire was and he didn't tell the cult anything! That was awesome.
* Jacob and Paul. Yes, they are serial killers and I don't find that hot or exciting at all. What I do find exciting is the development they went through. Especially when they realized that Emma left them. I bet that Jacob's first kill will be for Paul. To keep him safe. And that will bring them even closer. So, despite not being really gay, they will stick together. And maybe even throw a monkey wrench into Joe's plans. At least I hope so. I hope they don't crawl back to him and Emma.
* Oh, and Warren Kole's Roderick. I hope he will turn out to be another cog in Joe's machine that fails. Yes, Roderick enjoys killing - but not his own people for fun! He was so... disgusted? Disappointed? Angry? With Joe for killing Charlie.
* The last scene in ep 108! Joe/Emma, Roderick/Louise... and Ryan sitting with Mike in the hospital. That was wonderful!
And now I really need a Common Law/The Following Xover where Wes is sent undercover into Joe's cult, just playing at being a crazy killer. But Joe gets to him and brainwashes him and Travis then has to get him out and straighten his head. That would be so cool!
