Pas de Deux

This episode felt like a return to form but the remnants of poor writing persist from the past few episodes.

This is what should've happened two episodes ago, the past two episodes besides a few key bits within them, were a complete and utter waste of time that served no purpose besides to be boring filler reminiscent of writing you would expect from CW production.

I'm glad that it seems like main characters from Season 1 are still the focus and not the new redundant characters. Only time will tell if the writers continue in this direction.

Considering the show is produced by the same people behind "Lost", you would think they'd have mastered how to keep the audience engaged. The only times this expertise is shown, is when both Harold Perrineau or Elizabeth Saunders are on screen, they literally command your attention, that's how good their acting and presence is.

Furthermore, it would seem like the best episodes are the ones that expand the plot, the ones that meander around irrelevant subplots are super boring.

I think I talk for the majority of viewers when I say that episodes that drive the story forward, are better than ones in which the characters only express their feelings.

I enjoyed the car ride that was shot aproximately in one shot and casting is great, every actor does a great job.

I sense that this show needs improvement on the script though. Boyd has to defend himself and what happened in the forest way too much, given that they are literally fighting vampires. Where does "extraordinary paranormal" experience ends so that you need to defend you sanity?

I like this show, I hope it will grow, the creators will have more money to hire better writers and that everything will be explained.

Harold Perrineau is front and center in this episode and that's a really good thing. I just love his acting. As Sheriff Boyd he has his plate full with troubles old and new. Can he deal with it? Watch and find out, it's going to be intense.

This episode has thankfully cut down on the fluff. When there's drama it drives the story forward. Some other actors seem to be getting much needed increased direction this time around. Overall I'm very satisfied with this episode and hope this course will stick for the rest of the season. I prefer when shows stick to their guns and subplots do not supplant the dramatic theme.

A good job by everyone involved. I'm looking forward again to see what this show has to offer.

Mr. Harold Perrineau just shines in this episode. His stage persona and screen persona are equally dazzling..but it's a true delight to catch those moments of raw stage presence break through on the small screen. He is BRILLIANT. He evokes tragedy, humor, anger and love in a single episode and it seems to be effortless for him. He a powerful force on this cast and is the glue of the series.

Separately, this episode featured some excellent, creative writing and some gems of a performance by the supporting cast. I had to watch some of this one through my fingers since I was covering my eyes..what a rollercoaster!

Like a previous reviewer said - I keep asking questions and that is a beautiful thing! FROM is keeping me on my toes and I love it!

I have watched the serie from the day first episode aired. I was intrigued by its plot and wanted to see more.

The whole first season was unfolding in a good pace, the thrill and the mistery were there to serve the plot.

Season 2, instead, does not deliver.

Slowly, the fiction turn into drama. This is the nightmare for a sci fi, fantasy serie. The characters play it is meant to deliver the punch IN THE GENRE not in adiacent sub plots who turned out to be (no surprise.) drama for most of them because it the most easy one to write AS A FILLER! Comedy is hard. No one dares to make a filler with comedy.

So, my opinion is thta this season 2 is a cheap trick to a filler.

Low, very low.
