I'm back to watching it... thought the first episode of season 2 started off a bit slow and something felt off for a good chunk of it, like it lost its mojo... but the end was really good and intriguing and made next week worth watching so it's not lost it's dvr slot just yet. I just hope they don't fall into the usual sophomore slump that similar high concept sci-fi/fantasy based shows do when they do well in season 1 and then sort of lose the plot season 2 and go off the rails (like Under The Dome or Revolution).

What did you think of the season premiere?

I like this show a lot - the mother in law is evil and manipulative and kinda scary - reminds me of my former MIL - I would run if she resurrected ( I hate to speak ill of the dead , but she was a piece of work so to say).

Is Pastor Tom going to die?! He got hit by Carl's truck and the promo for next week says the town's mourning a loss, so it sure does look like Pastor Tom's going to die. I'm not happy about that, especially just when he's confessed to Rachel he still loves her!

And who will protect Rachel from Janine? You know Janine's sort of off the deep end now with the way she sees Rachel's baby as her own - so who will protect her and the baby from Janine's craziness? My guess is Tom will return, assuming he does die, but still...

I get the impression the grandson of the guy that worked at the Langston Furniture factory that died in the fire and kept returning is not as keen on his grandfather's plan to destroy the family as the grandfather is. It's like taking it out on the wrong people because Henry had nothing to do with anything that happened way back when, his mother didn't either really - I mean, she was around but so far as we know, she wasn't directly responsible for the fire or the perpetual murdering of the ones who returned even if she was present when those things happened.

And what's up with Ray getting the illness that only the Returned had when he's not wanted to have anything to do with any of them, including his own father when he came back? And then, him telling Maggie that if he dies he wants to stay dead, but if he returns his sister shouldn't trust him because it won't be him... does dimwitted Ray know something the rest of the town doesn't?
