This week, we see Joe for who he truly is, a whiny little insecure bitch.\u00a0 He puts most of the main characters on trial, and Jane is a moron.\u00a0 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

Kristi: \u00a0I feel like he is dead. I’m thinking there will be a new villain next season. I don’t see them going with the same story. <\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0I said to myself that they didn\u2019t kill him and I thought that it was a shame that there wasn\u2019t a season 2 so he could show up and get got. \u00a0Then the announcement for season 2 happened. I am going to say that Joe is alive because there was no definitive death blow, and it\u2019s the horror genre. \u00a0Seriously, kill your attacker!!!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: Going with yes here. Sure, Joe was crazy but what he did was pretty crappy. He lost everything because of him. He deserved to die. <\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0Yeah, I think it was fair. \u00a0You don\u2019t fuck with a person\u2019s livelihood, their ability to earn for themselves and their family. \u00a0I do think death was fair. When I lost my one job because some little shithead got me and two other good employees fired in the dumbest way possible, I have no shame in wishing death on that person. \u00a0That is the only person that exists that I do not forgive, and I doubt that I ever will because of the malicious intent involved. Maybe my answer is biased, but fuck Rick.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: I pretty much hated Pen most of the season but I actually found her tolerable in the last episode. I do agree that Pete the cop was my favorite though. I liked him from the beginning. I really like when he said he was Pete the Cop and the dude was like oh shit, go through. Pete’s cool. <\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0I wasn\u2019t 100% down with Pete the first and possibly the second time that we meet him. \u00a0He ended up being my favorite. Lila grew on me too, but for all of the wrong reasons. \u00a0As for downhill, I think it has to be Jane. I started off really liking her story. Getting fucked over by the man for years, so you hire an assassin. \u00a0She slowly spiraled and made so many mistakes, and her final bit was beyond stupid. Also, quick shout out to Jenna. I never liked her, but she wasn\u2019t trying to keep Rick alive at the end. \u00a0She was told to put pressure on the\u00a0wound and after like 3 seconds, she totally half-assed it and let him die. I appreciated that, although I don\u2019t think it was intentional, I was paying attention.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: \u00a0I have mixed feelings about Miguel and Pen being protectors. I get that they want to help since their parents were purged but, seriously, just kick it with Pete the Cop. Why ask for danger? \u00a0I’m kinda thinking Jenna’s story will end since she has the baby. <\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0I think that it was smart to leave the door open to a Purge in another country, but I don\u2019t think we will see it in season 2. \u00a0I would guess that maybe in season 3 though. Just a random guess. I like Miguel. I want to like Penny, like at times she\u2019s okay, and then she does something dumb. \u00a0With that being said, I hate the protector idea. I liked the medic team idea, and if they were working with them, I would have liked it better. I feel it would have given them more purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: \u00a0I do like the series but I also love the movies. With the series, I get more involved with the characters, which I enjoy. Backstories please me. <\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0The TV format offers so much more opportunity to tell a great story and truly develop characters. \u00a0There were some missteps along the way, but I think they got more right than they got wrong. I will say that I prefer the TV format for now due to its potential, but now they need to live up to that potential.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Final Thoughts – The big news revealed hours before the finale aired is that The Purge is apparently having a second season, despite this being advertised as a one-off mini-series. Are you happy that we will get a second season? \u00a0What would you like to see improved upon?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: \u00a0I am super happy about getting another season! I really liked this show. Less talking, more action next year. <\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0They do need to up the violence and feature more of The Purgers being violent. \u00a0I think that is one of the big selling points of the films, you see the \u201cbad guys\u201d more frequently. \u00a0I still think that the first Purge film was a great idea, but is my least favorite due to a handful of issues. \u00a0I am hoping that the series continues to improve as the film franchise has. I\u2019m happy. Also, no more of these characters like David who had no redeeming qualities. \u00a0You want to have complicated bad guys who have a legitimate reason for doing what they do. That\u2019s why Batman is so popular, because of his rogue gallery of antagonists. \u00a0I want to understand and appreciate why this character is an asshole. David and the Stanton’s were just rich and or sexist elitists. That\u2019s not good enough in the modern era. \u00a0They tried a little more with Joe. If all of the people that he took captive screwed him over in a similar fashion as Rick did, we\u2019d be looking at Joe significantly different right now. \u00a0Just because a guy was mean to you in high school, or you had a bad date, or someone didn\u2019t thank you for holding the door open, those are not acceptable reasons. The people who closed his workplace down, that makes sense. \u00a0Joe should have been more like John Kramer AKA Jigsaw. Had Joe gone after the head of an insurance agency that refused to cover his dad\u2019s illness, something like that is relatable. I hope that they make the antagonists more 3 dimensional moving forward. \u00a0Also, did we ever find out who the old couple was that Joe found?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ________________________________________________<\/p>\n Please check us out at\u00a0Superkent’s 9 Deuce Blog on Facebook<\/a>, on Twitter\u00a0@official9deuce<\/a>, or Instagram at\u00a0Official9Deuce<\/a>.\u00a0 Share this, like this, write us an email with a question at\u00a0kent@9deuce.tv<\/a>.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n All the pictures used in this blog are for review purposes.
