I liked the episode even though it left me wondering about some things.
I am glad some of the truth has been revealed to Fred and Henry Langston about what happened at the factory. I think the way their mother raised them caused the brothers to not get along well.
I do not understand Rachel. I thought she had a goal in mind when she insisted Janine let her out of the house so why did she just sit in the car?
I wonder if Jacob will be located in time to stop him from disappearing.
I thought the handler would help Bellamy because it was apparent she did not agree with her boss.
The Sheriff is doing his job properly even if he does not feel it is right for people to return from the dead. I have to respect him for the way he is handling things and going against people he has been friends with all of his life.
I think Maggie feels affection for Bellamy, but I hope it remains platonic.

Well, now we know how much of a role Henry's mother had in the company.
That man had a point. A lot of people lost their jobs just because Jacob died.
I was really hoping Tom would survive.
They ahd me worried when they said "season" finale but it is coming back soon.
I'm so glad they found a cure but it's a shame the government doesn't want to use it.

Haven't seen it yet, which is unusual for me. I went ahead and watched Fox's comedies last night. I have seen "Galavant" but I got my season pass on the other machine because that's where I saw the ad.

I saw it, but a lot happened so I need to think about what I want to say. I could write a book on this episode, but I don't really want to be long winded.
I recorded Galavant, but I have not watched it yet.

"Galavant" was good. I didn't recognize John Stamos, which is a shame because he was the reason I watched "Full House" in the first place. And he's done other shows I liked. He is the opponent in the joust, and it is the funniest medieval joust you will ever see.
"Resurrection" was the worst episode yet and one that makes me long for cancellation. The scenes with Bellamy and his sister were the only ones that could be salvaged.

Jacob is still around although I thought he and Margaret might have both “let go”. I think Margaret was waiting for Jacob to disappear and then she would have followed after him.
I am glad the stem cell serum is working so Bellamy can be cured. I guess that is why his sister was allowed to live with him. I wonder if she will have an important role other than recognizing the preacher. I think she likes the doctor and might play matchmaker so that Bellamy can have a real family.
Preacher James is a returned and he knows Jenny. Meeting the preacher must have triggered a recessed memory and Bellamy went to the field. There was a huge crescent burned into the soil where he stood and it resembled the birthmark on Bellamy’s back. Insects broke through the soil and formed the shape of a tree in the sky and it was the same as the mark on Preacher James’ back. Fascinating!
The fight between Jacob’s parents was ugly but it revealed the way they felt about how each of them handled the loss of Jacob.
Matriarch Langston said some mean things to her sons, but she did try to retract her comments when she was with Fred. I wonder if she has an ulterior motive in her willingness to be sent to the facility.
I enjoyed the joust in Galavant; it was so silly

The episode title makes me think of the Henry in "Once Upon A Time" because he was the true believer.

I am not convinced that we know the real reason people return to Arcadia, but they have added another mystery that is holding my interest. The preacher is an enigma because he was able to do what he said in spite of there being no logical reason to believe he had that power. But why did he need Bellamy? Does he need him because he helps to keep his faith strong?
I was shocked when Fred shot the preacher because it was so unexpected. Bellamy was going to argue about shooting, but Fred abruptly ended the discussion. It was nice to know that neither Fred nor Bellamy had ever killed anyone even though they are both in law enforcement.
Lucille is lucky that Henry returned because she would have lived with regret that she made him leave.
I guess they are working on making Margaret a more sympathetic character by showing her helping the woman who needed eyeglasses and then she broke down and cried when she learned Henry had died. I wonder why the facility man is being nice to her.

Great. Now it's turning into "Sleepy Hollow".
At least last week's episode wasn't as bad as the previous week's. But when they started gathering outside the building where Rachel was sleeping, that told me there was something special about her baby.
But now the baby is the Antichrist? Didn't Crane and Abbie solve that problem already?
I'm glad Henry came back, but now I wonder if it was worth it.
The description of Communion was similar to the one in my church. However, we either dip the bread in the common cup or drink out of tiny cups. No drinking out of the common cup--though my grandmother forgot and ate her bread and had to do that once. And it's not wine in my church or any of the churches I have attended. It's grape juice.
The last time anyone tried to poison someone with Communion on my TV was on "Reign" when it was King Henry.

Kyle, when the people gathered outside Rachel's window, I thought, "Haven't I seen this before?" The preacher is having visions so he is not conning people that he thinks the baby is dangerous. When Jacob told Margaret that the baby was hurting him, I knew Margaret would go to war.
I prefer the story being about the mystery of why people returned rather than people fighting each other, but I am still interested.

I can't remember. Have I seen an episode since I posted?
Miss Universe is on Sunday night so I'll be watching that instead of this. So I won't be able to post about the finale until later in the week.

I was unsure how the dilemma of the baby would be resolved. The episode had a lot of drama, but it still seemed to drag. Some questions and issues were resolved. The doctor and Bellamy became a couple and sealed it with a kiss. The government facility has been deserted. Preacher James successfully allied the returned with the anti-returned in an effort to make Rachel and her baby disappear. The showdown at Henry's house was the most interesting part of the episode for me. I did not want anyone to kill Rachel or her baby, but I did not want a million people to return either. Apparently, the Preacher and Bellamy are connected in some manner, but Bellamy does not want to acknowledge it; he would prefer to just ignore it. An entire year passed following the incidents at Henry's house. Bellamy is head of The Bureau of the Returned. The Preacher is in jail, but he still seems confident. The perfect baby is being visited by locusts.  Is the baby a dark soul or a gift from God? Will there be a third season that will answer that question? |

I missed the end so I guess that's when the locusts happened. Had I told that TiVo not to record the CW affiliate's newscast, which the other TiVo was taking care of, this wouldn't have happened. I used to do that so I wouldn't lose something I was watching on Sunday.
If there were so many Returned, how was it not a crisis? The laws being passed that discriminate against them sound familiar.
