we had same thought hahaha!! just deleted mine

thanks for it

[Lauren Helen Graham]

You opened one, too? I'm sorry, I didn't want to interfere with yours

You're welcome. I'm really curious for the episode already.

[Heidsdk]

i did haha

[Lauren Helen Graham]

Heidi, sneak peeks are considered spoilers and are not allowed to be posted in episode discussion threads I think you should delete it. I posted it in spoiler tags in the News thread

[Heidsdk]

ooh i just thought since it was related, oh well ok then

[Lauren Helen Graham]

It's extremely complicated with and the spoiler rules for tv show boards... It took me like ages to get along and I'm finally have figured it out I guess

So, what are you most excited about?

[Heidsdk]

you really have to ask to find out in present time, why caleb is screaming it hurted my feelings soo much, but also in quantico timeine to actually seee who his friend is, that he want to save very interesting and if that friend will matter alot in the show or not

hmm, i hope to see what happened to shelby, since she ended in that car

hmm yeah there is that for now

what about you?

YES!! me to Heidi, Like I'm not sure I can handle his scream!! I added it to my faves on my youtube page and every time I see it I just wanna cry
I really think that whatever Shelby is doing and is up to she is only doing it to Save Caleb (that's my story and I'm sticking to it LOL)

[Lauren Helen Graham]

Okay, I just saw the episode and did I just miss it? I didn't see that Caleb screaming scene in the episode.

It was a really good one though. Caleb just playing Alex there Unbelievable. Who do you think he phoned? Do you think his mother knows about him playing Alex? Is he playing his mother, too? Is it something that the terrorists expect of him. Is it something that Shelby asked of him?

Raina was back!!! And see, I told you that you wouldn't be working for the FBI anymore. That's what I expected the whole time, she lost clearance and was out. She came in though to help Alex, sadly they figured it all out really fast...

But that was it in the future timeline, not much.

The Quantico timeline though. The cult storyline is getting interesting but Will OMFG! And this stupid Asian girl (who is out now I guess) causing all this trouble. And Shelby finding Will Damn it! What a dangerous game they are playing, Caleb and Will I mean.

Shelby running right away to Liam about Caleb's stuff... Damn it! And Liam getting in contact with Clayton about it and him asking him to let it go. Damn it, Liam is really shady and again I'm proved that I don't trust him.

Miranda though Was it just me being surprised on how eager she was to get him out? But I understand her... I really do. And her talk to Alex was good! Alex reminds her of herself and I'm wondering if with Miranda saying something like that more fruits for the future timeline and the bombing and everything were set.

Charlie btw is alive but not responsive... Not good I guess.

Alex and Drew... Yeah, he saw what there is between Ryan and Alex and he is much wiser to know when to pull out. I'm wondering if that was it with their friendship as well I loved them as friends, really.

Nimah and Raina in the Quantico timeline... They created a third personality and I loved that. It's the right way for their assignment later on And they made compromise.

I don't feel like watching the show anymore. It bums me out.
First of all, now we know Caleb is probably the terrorist, and the call he made at the end was probably to Shelby or to his mother, who plays his game and pretends he's in trouble and that she's hiding him in order to protect him. I suspected Caleb all along, but I really don't like it, cause I liked his character. I feel really sorry for Will.
Second, How stupid is everyone in there? Natalie disappeared as the thin air and no one checks what happened to her? And also- The character was cut out from the Quantico flashbacks at the same time (Did the actress want or had to leave?) and it makes no sense because in the future she is an agent- but she isn't there to graduate.
Third, I was so happy to see Simon coming back to help Alex, and two episodes later he's gone? I miss him!
Last, I already said I don't like the martyr that they turned Alex into- They really went too far with that. First everyone thinks she is a terrorist, and after they find out they were wrong and that she was right all along about the second bomb, everyone hates her because she thinks Elias wasn't the terrorist and one would listen to the facts. Why isn't she showing the FBI the proofs she has? The phone calls she's getting? because she is afraid for her friends lives? First of all, she has no friend, everyone hates her and no one believes her, and the ones she did have- Natalie, Simon- The terrorist (aka Caleb, I guess) killed/took them away. Why does she trust the terrorist to save their lives?
I think they should have kept Simon with her and they both could find the terrorist with their clever minds. And where did Hanna go to? She knows the truth too.
But now she's not only a murtyr, she became really stupid and naive. Why would she automaticlly assume Shelby is the real terrorist's victim and not the terrorist her self? and why would she believe Caleb so easily? We know she is smarter than that.

Ye, I know it's just a show and all, but these things I pointed out really bothered me.
Does anyone agree?

My mom made a similar rant yesterday. I've missed 3 episodes because of school and she said she's done with the show. She told me to make up my mind on my own,but she said it's too convoluted,makes no sense and that the way they're writing Alex is stupid.

I'm loathe to give it up since PC is one of my favorite actresses and I'm trying to get a board for her,but Jesus...this does sound stupid.

It's not just a show and things need to make sense. I didn't get why no one wondered about Natalie,either.

Why does Caleb need Simon,though? We all know why he needs Will,but why Simon? Why is his mother protecting him?

[SaraSidleStokes]

I still Love the show myself and I can't help but Still love Caleb (even if he is the Terrorist) but I agree with what most of you have said, I mean Honestly I saw it coming and I am totally calling it that shelby's in on it and She's the one he called on the Phone
(I mean the mere fact that She was the Driver of the Car he rented) and I totally think they have a Bonnie and Clyde thing going

I also totally think he's playing his Mom But we'll see where that leads

The Quantico Time line, That scene where he was beating Will broke my heart but God I really blame Iris for it all,and You know that is what is going to lead to Shelby and Caleb's break up

Yes you r right Raina is no longer with the FBI, which Im not thrilled about. I want her back in with the others - Alex and Simon especially. I did enjoy her stint with Alex fooling Ryan even if it failed and also when she stood up to Nimah

BUT Raina didn't lose clearance. She passed in QT (Quantico Timeline) and even spent time undercover for a few months along with Nimah. It's when Nimah turned Raina in to the FBI for falling for Hamza, that's when Raina quit the FBI and moved back home.

[Heidsdk]

o m g i have like no word!!

Kris you are right, he didnt scream in the episode (caleb) so why show it in the trailer soo weird really!

ok ok as u all say the cult story i very interestibg, do we think that shelby saw that it was caleb beating up will?? and why did she even go there ?
oh come to think about it, so it turns out that caleb doest have a friend to save or what?

i dont like the asian girl, she is jut a backstabber :eek;

and i do see why some off u is getting tired of how they write alex, and i do see what u mean, and to some point i do agree.. she did trusted caleb too fast, and her character is confusing sometimes

was good to see raina stand up to nimah , i was like yess!! u go girl hehe!
ad since she moved home, i just guess she wanted out, yes since nimah told about raina and that dude

ssoooo the hard part for me now is, that i dont want caleb to be the terrorist, n ut seriously what is he up to damnit!!!!!
