    • Trivia
      Fox's TV standards were highly uncomfortable with the references to the killer leaving his fecal matter over his victims. (It's OK to show dismembered bodies but not OK to mention feces.)

    Everybody wants to be Somebody
    Very different in tone to the first two episodes. Moves away from the prophecies and the End of millennium Talk to offer up a serial killer of the week episode.

    The details about the killer were interesting, although with the carpark abduction scene there was almost too much similarity to The Silence of the Lambs. An homage is ok but I really hope the show can keep ideas fresh and original. I don't want the serial killers to become indistinguishable from one another.

    This episode is all about the character of Jim Horn and his inability to keep his emotions out of the case. I think he was played very well. I enjoyed watching his descent into madness. Ultimately it's the capable acting that made this a great watch. It was pretty predictable to know what was going to end up happening, but that's ok - it was executed well.

    I enjoyed the dream imagery, especially the creepy clown. I'm wondering if that will come back at any point.

    This episode definitely felt oppressively bleak, With the talk of defecation and whatnot. I can understand it wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea. You come out of the episode with a definite sense of melancholy that I didn't get from the first two episodes.
