Official The Killing Thread (Warning: Potential Spoilers)

Maybe it's just the actor himself, or the interplay between the two characters. But I'm not feeling it.

I do get the purpose, just don't like the presentation

I'm with Smoot on this one. The fiance sub-plot is the weakest and most heavy handed of the various story lines. She's obsessed. I get it. Couldn't this be just as easily conveyed through the relationship with her son? He is a plot device to get her out the city but, to me, that's about it.

As for the mole issue, you got me. Not sure where that is going.

Gotta say, this past week's episode the weakest one so far in my opinion. It developed the teacher as suspect story line but didn't we all see that one coming from the first episode? Mole/Not Mole Jaime gets accepted in Mayor's camp - again, wasn't that obvious from the preview last week?

I dunno, when an hour long episode's outcomes are predictable from the last 3 minutes of the prior episode and a 1 minute preview, I would not consider that a real advancement of the story.

I thought Sundays (5/1/11) episode was pretty good. I am just a bit confused about Benett, have the detectives cleared him in their minds and the dad is going to kill a innocent man? Or is he still a strong suspect. I was up and down through this episode doing chores, maybe I need to go back and re-watch it.

And involved, guilty, whatever, they don't want Stan to kill him.

Wait how does Benett's wife come into play? I really need to revisit this episode.

This is a really good recap, I am going to follow this writer through out the show.

'The Killing,' Season 1, Episode 6 Recap (http://www.tvsquad.com/2011/05/01/the-killing-season-1-episode-6-recap/)

The dude who plays Holder may just be my favorite actor on tv right now

And I kept looking at the girl who plays Bennett's wife because she looked so familiar...and then it hit me, I think she's the girl who played Chrissy (the youngest daughter) on Growing Pains!

Anyhow, another solid episode but again I feel the mayor plotline is weak. I'm eager to see that become more relevant

You watch far too much TV.

Could someone give me an update on last week's episode?

I've forgotten to DVR it every time it was on this weekend, and I don't think it's on again before the new episode airs on Sunday night.

Thanks
