This week Miguel is closing in on finding Penelope with the help of Pete the Cop and others.\u00a0 At the NFFA party, Rick and Jenna have been offered a deal, but will did they resist it?\u00a0 Shit got real at the business meeting, and we got to see more of the badass.\u00a0 I think his name is Joe. It’s Kristi and I trying to go over the important developments of the week. Any comments in bold are made by me, Kent.<\/p>\n

  1. \u00a0The badass guy (possibly named Joe) in the UPS like truck, is he going to be the hero that this show needs?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Kristi: \u00a0I do. He is definitely my favorite so far. I think of Slipknot everytime I see him. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Kent: \u00a0I really don\u2019t know what his plans are. \u00a0He could be rounding people up to do some really fucked up shit, or he could just be the badass hero. \u00a0Either way, he\u2019s what this show needs. I am going to suggest that he is rounding people up for something malicious, or so I hope.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. \u00a0Eileen killed Mark at the business meeting. \u00a0Did you see that one coming and was it a good twist or story component?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Kristi: I didn\u2019t see that coming but I certainly saw the crazy in her. I figured something would go down.\u00a0(She was focused on enough to be too mild, so she was definitely a good choice.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      Kent: \u00a0I didn\u2019t see that exact thing happening. \u00a0We have been waiting for all hell to break loose at that meeting and this set the stage nicely. \u00a0I loved Eileen asking about her promotion. That was great in it\u2019s nonsensical, only in horror does that scene work level of cheesiness,<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u00a0Penelope has been offered up to the Nuns and Miguel was late by mere minutes. \u00a0We see that Penelope is in a room next episode with former wrestler, Brodus Clay or all people. \u00a0Does this story still have substance, or do you feel like this is just going to be Miguel turning into Rambo?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        Kristi:\u00a0 Yes, I see him turning into a Rambo type character. \u00a0I’m hoping we are done with the bus. That story is just boring to me. I do, however, dig the Nuns. Creepy ass looking things!\u00a0\u00a0(I would have liked the bus to have been different and really it could have been a cool thing.\u00a0 As it is, I regrettably agree with you.\u00a0 Loved the nuns!)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        Kent: \u00a0First of all, I am pissed at how lame the bus turned out to be. \u00a0That had such a cool and creepy cult vibe. Secondly, this is setting up for Miguel to be every 1980\u2019s action star ever. \u00a0This can work, but they need him to work through some truly sadistic shit to keep this a horror theme. Why Brodus Clay is there, I don\u2019t know. \u00a0But he used to be Snoop Dogg\u2019s bodyguard, so there is that.<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \u00a0Rick and Jenna had made the deal, then they refused to kill the man at the behest of Mr. Stanton. \u00a0Obviously, this is bad news for them. My question is, shouldn\u2019t they have been prepared to do what was potentially needed of them to get this 75 million dollar deal? \u00a0They knew what this party was and what type of people would be there, after all. Should they have allowed their morales to get in the way?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          Kristi: \u00a0They are clueless. I don’t think they believed that was going to happen. I feel like Rick would have done it had Jenna not of said no. I tend to agree with Jenna here.\u00a0\u00a0(I agree, I think Rick would have done it.\u00a0 He seems like the bigger pussy.\u00a0 At least Jenna stood by her convictions, whether one agrees with her or not.\u00a0 You do, I don’t think that I do in this instance.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          Kent: \u00a0I hope they get tortured and mutilated for being dumbasses! \u00a0God dammit, this whole thing pisses me off. You are coming to an NFFA party hoping to get the host to invest 75 million in your company. \u00a0You know who this dude is and what he is into. To make use of Snoop Dogg for the second time in this blog, it would be like asking Snoop to invest 10 million in your business and not being prepared to celebrate by smoking some of that real sticky icky icky. \u00a0This whole thing is preposterous. I am so done with Rick and Jenna. When Jenna lives because Lila sacrifices herself, I will yell at the TV and probably wake up my neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \u00a0Do you want to see more of Pete The Cop? \u00a0Were you happy that it was confirmed that the bus takes the same route every Purge?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            Kristi: \u00a0Absolutely. Pete the cop is awesome. I kinda expected the bus doing the same route. The leader chick is very organized so that was no surprise to me. <\/span><\/p>\n

            Kent: \u00a0I like Pete the Cop and hope that he is featured later on, perhaps he monitors and see Miguel is in danger. \u00a0Pete was way cooler than the reporter schmucks. Also, thank you for confirming our bus theory.<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Final Thoughts – Did you like the flashback of the first Purge when Miguel and Penelope were kids? \u00a0Did it add to the episode in any meaningful way, or just a way to kill time?<\/span><\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            Kristi: \u00a0I did like the flashbacks. It’s always nice for me to get to know the characters and where they came from.\u00a0\u00a0(This really did help explain why Penelope had issues in life and why she is sacrificing herself now.\u00a0 I liked all of these flashbacks.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

            Kent: \u00a0I liked knowing that they took money to support the Purge cause. \u00a0I always think flashbacks are such a useful storytelling technique. \u00a0It\u2019s one of the best things that AHS and TWD have done over the years. \u00a0Keep using flashbacks, please! This was the best week so far for me. I thought that after the 4th episode, things would significantly improve. \u00a0I hope I am right because I am sick of being wrong.\u00a0 I want to add that I have been listening to this song a lot and I could really see them using it for this show.<\/span><\/p>\n
