Executive producer Kevin Williamson warned U.S.A. that "The Following" Season a pair of would look totally different, and he wasn't lying. The special preview episode that ventilated on Sunday (Jan. 19) was not like something we have seen from the FOX manslayer heroic tale.
With a lot of recent characters (hello, surface-to-air missile coppice pull double duty because the world's creepiest set of twins ever), new things (Ryan Hardy's a vigilante?) and new alliances (Ryan and his kinswoman soap vs. the FBI), Season a pair of was formally reset.
And we adored each dark, creepy, chilling and surprising minute of it.
But the most important question on our minds once looking at "Resurrection" is what's Joe writer (James Purefoy) up to? within the eleventh hour of the premiere, it had been discovered that the manslayer and cult leader was alive and well one year once the Havenport tragedy, concealment enter some backwoods cabin with a prostitute (Carrie Preston) and a teenager (Tiffany Boone), rocking some serious facial hair and going by the name Daryl.
We finally realized that he survived the Season one finale hearth by jumping into the water and swimming to the beach once the tower exploded, wherever an exponent named Carlos the Jackal picked him up. whereas driving away, they found a roadblock found out by the police, thus Joe got out of the automotive and none of his followers have seen him since. What has he been up to in his backwoods hideout? Is he planning to kick off of concealment currently that his followers have committed a ugly slaying in his name (and whereas carrying masks of his face)?
If Joe will kick off of concealment, one follower United Nations agency would have mixed emotions regarding him survival would be Emma (Valorie Curry). She's clearly had a rough year concealment from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and he or she wasn't even within the fathom the subway murder or that Joe is really alive. whereas she'd fain settle for him into her life, she'll be quite alittle pissed regarding him abandoning her. And by the appearance of her new vogue -- facial piercings, purple mohawk, dark makeup, and a preference for black consumer goods -- peeing her off isn't one thing anyone would need to try and do.
On the opposite hand, Ryan (Kevin Bacon) hasn't accepted the very fact that Joe "died" just like the public will. On the surface, it's like he is well from the attack in his flat a year agone and moved on from Claire's death. he is during a new flat and teaching forensics and sociology school course. He is aware of very little Joey is safe along with his grandparent in witness protection. however truly, it's all a front. Sure, he isn't drinking (after a brief bout off the wagon a number of months once Claire's death), he is attending his conferences, he is running while not putt his heart in danger, and he is even keeping his distance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigation into the subway murders.
But that is all as a result of he is passionate about looking down Joe and obtaining revenge on his own, while not the procedure of the law going in his method. he is teaming up along with his kinswoman soap Hardy (Jessica Stroup), exploitation her NYC police connections to analysis Joe's remaining followers. He nearly catches Carlos the Jackal, too (and narrowly uncomprehensible running into Emma), and he did not be patient in beating the guy up. Season 2's Ryan is clearly planning to be a lot of darker than Season 1's, particularly since he currently is aware of needless to say that Joe remains alive.
And that's a shame, since microphone Edward Weston (Shawn Ashmore) is in would like of his mentor during a massive method. Over the past year he is been beating himself up over the death of Debra Parker and the way Ryan shot that follower purpose blank once failing to avoid wasting her, and once Ryan refuses to affix the Federal Bureau of Investigation task force and pushes microphone away, he clearly takes it in person. whereas Ryan has sensible intentions in distancing himself from microphone -- he does not need to tug the young agent down with him as he travels the dark path of revenge -- Williamson notes that Mike's solely planning to exasperate as Season a pair of moves forward.
And we ought to say Luke. He appeared harmless initially -- a cute guy commerce romp glances with a woman, till it became clear he was stalking her. Cut to: the 2 of them lying naked in her bed. he is whispering nothings in her ear with a smile on his face. however she's dead. He keeps a oral communication going together with her all day, creating a meal in her room, showering in her flat, singing to her and saltation together with her remains, dressing her up during a white dress and putt on her makeup. And then ...
His twin Mark hops out of the shower to assist him with the remains. What?! doubly the creepy, and doubly the crazy. These bloody, joyously psychotic twins square measure a force to be reckoned with and square measure utterly unpredictable. we've got a sense they are going to inject some much-needed recent blood into Season a pair of, particularly with the method they staged the girl's remains within the park to be found dead the vein of Joe's previous murders. what's their deal?
So what did you think that of the new and improved "The Following?" once "Resurrection," the FOX series moves to its permanent timeslot with a two-hour episode at nine p.m. ET Monday, Jan. 27.
