This is stupid .... the murder (SPOILERS)


OK, so they set up this show for what ... 6 episodes and there is no sign
of an off the wall move like this, and then Cal has a stressful day and kills
someone. This is just stupid. The story was looking interesting and the
whole cult/religion conflict with the rest of the world was the point.

Now, like everything else on TV there has to be a murder. Stupid. Bad move.

They've shown bouts of violence and anger before, just this time he had a weapon

So, I just write something here and it will appear on everything I post?

This apparently was the "It All Comes to a Head" episode. Writing by the numbers.

Please put some dashes above your sig line so I won't think it's part of your dumb post.

Yep, throw in a murder when you do not know what to do on an American TV show.

Until the murder this was a compelling show, now it's just typical television. There was enough with Cal's sexual issues, the mystery of what really happened to Allison's husband, the refugees, Eddie's angst, Hawk's hormones, etc. I might as well watch HTGAWM.

reply

No it's what the show needed, previous episodes were getting repetitive and tough to watch this one picks up with Cal finally crossing the line and killing someone.
I insist Silas was stupid for pushing him like that saying the movement was over was enough, he thought he'd come in his face and insult him and his father and he would just stand there and not do anything? What an idiot.. he practically asked for it.

The universe isn’t evil, John, it’s just indifferent.

No it's what the show needed

Except it's not. Throwing in quick random murders doesn't solve writing issues.

If he was not killed Cal couldn't do his work there anymore. He needed to die as a plot device. Real gross too.
