Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Following and Fargo Catching Up and Intro

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Following and Fargo Catching Up and Intro

Television this week has been a sharp divide of action, pathos, and more action and slow paced oddness, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.The Following and Fargo fall into two distinct categories of excitement. S.H.I.E.L.D and The Following are moving on an ever increasing plot escalation where it looks like some series favorites may not make it through the season finale and Fargo looks infinitely interesting, strange and chaotic. In other words a lot like a Coen Bros feature film but on television.

The Following: The Messenger – All Masks Off

The Following continues to be compulsive viewing with more than its fair share of “edge of the seat” moments; this week’s episode, The Messenger shows all masks off. Each character who has been hiding their true purpose reveal what they really want and who they really are. Although Micah’s wife Julia has been fairly consistent with her feelings about Joe Carroll, this week sees the true depth of her attitude about her husband’s plans for their cult and it does not match Micah’s own.

In last week’s episode, Joe Carroll escaped Ryan and co with a little help from his source in the FBI, this week in The Following: Sacrifice Carroll puts himself in the hands of another cult; oh how the mighty have fallen. Carroll is not alone in this fall, Murphy and his helpers have also hit rock bottom. Mike Weston and Max Hardy, Ryan’s niece, both want out of his obsessive quest to kill Joe.

Episode 6 of season 2 The Following: Fly Away continues with the evolution of Joe Carroll, Ryan Murphy and all those peripheral characters affected by their own brand of obsession and can really be summed by that old song title Love Hurts. The overall theme of this weeks episode seems to focus on how each camp’s followers – Camp Carroll and Camp Murphy – are affected by the chaotic and murderous activity which they are all engaged in.
