Over the Top **1/2

[edwagreen · 26 February 2013]

Joe Carroll is beginning to really maneuver the system with his demands of his constitutional rights. The horrible thing is that it will be starting to pay off.

Our FBI lady has thoughts of when she went to visit her parents after many years. From where they are now, it appears that they also must belong to some cult. How this will factor into the story is anyone's guess.

Claire is bewildered as is the case with the rest of us as to what is going on here.

Cult members now include members of the force and everyone else seems to be getting shot.

Also, our FBI agent is playing psychologist when she says that Emma has guilt feelings about killing her mother. All pictures made by Emma seem to resemble the mother. Wishful thinking if you think that Emma has any sort of conscious.

The episode suffered from a lack of cohesion here.

Calls for an Awful Lot

[Hitchcoc · 6/10 · 28 July 2018]

The majority of the action takes place at the farm house where, once again, the police are utterly incompetent. They allow people to get the jump on them. The SWAT team has its hands tied and then get their own agents killed. Of course, Claire acts like a total idiot. Why even help her when she gets everything screwed up whenever possible. No one understands their adversary. Why does this network exist. And, a big one, why is this crazy man with all this power allowed to talk to visitors without being listened to. The woman he sends to do his bidding should monitored completely. It's getting more and more ludicrous.

Absolutely Unrealistic

[paul-hudson · 5/10 · 28 February 2013]

Once again, another episode that makes the FBI, swat, & police look like complete idiots. Three more unnamed characters got killed, one police woman & two cult members, during an escape from the ranch.

It seems like the purpose of this episode was to add some betrayal to the love triangle threesome (between Jacob, Emma & Paul) because nothing else really changed other than getting a hint that the FBI lady, Debra Parker, was once apart of a cult with her parents. And, Claire is rescued by the FBI while her creepy kidnapper throws a can of gas & escapes through a back door!

Moreover, this episode was by far too unbelievable.
