You know what though....I gotta kinda say fukk the reverend :patrice:

I mean, I like his mission and all, but dude is completely disingenuous with his motives :beli:

Acting like he is doing "Gods work" when it really is nothing but a personal vendetta due to the accident that veggied his wife when the judge departed:beli:

I don't think I feel bad that the GR pulled the rug from under him. It was a wake up call for him. He though God was sending him signs with them pigeons and shyt, the question is was it another test? Was it a coincidence that meant nothing? Was it a punishment for hiding a personal vendetta under the veil of religion? :lupe:

but seriously tho, why did that man try to rob the rev without a gun? Did he just think it was going to be that easy...just walk up to him and ask for the money without a weapon :heh:

Did the rev actually kill the robber or knock him unconsicous...if he's dead he may have a charge coming :lupe: Could claim self defense :ld:

Looks like the writers wrote it like that on purpose to give the Rev a realistic chance of beating the guy up and taking the money back... In real though robbing someone with no weapon like that is highly unrealistic... lol

:dwillhuh:

So you don't think some cokehead thug would try and snatch 160K cash from a frail older man in an abandoned parking lot, just because he didn't have a gun on him? It was plenty realistic....people rob banks with a piece of pen and paper, how is this less realistic than that?

The actual unrealistic part of that sequence was that the Rev was carrying the cash to his car all alone. I guarantee the casino would have stuck an armed guard at his hip in real life.

The 'Go
This episode made me stay. I'm not gon lie all I care about is the woman who lost her family, the Reverend, and the people in white. The cop and his family haven't caught my interest yet.

Telling his sister that her husband was having an affair... Cold blooded... He didn't give a f*ck about the good memories that she cherished of her missing husband... :whew:


That shyt was intense, it hurt me hearing it. You could tell that cut deep as hell with her, why did he have to do that :damn:. He hit her with Doug was having an affair, I got the receipts :skip:

This was definitely the best episode so far and benefited greatly from focusing on one character. The wife of the main cop could use an episode like this, that is the character's whose motivation I am having the most difficult in understanding. It looked like the Rev might have had a thing for too when he was dreaming and his wife morphed into her :shaq:

Walk around with 160K in cash, but don't lock your doors and drive off as soon as you get in your car. Wouldn't have had any time to talk to Wolverine. Trying to help the Guilty Remnant and got knocked out, I guess no good deed goes unpunished :troll:.

Leader of the cult, Molly looks just like Margo Martindale from Justified and The Americans. Could easily be her sister.
