I sit in snow in drifts so deep — space and time rewind. I'm counting down the time I have inside this tiny place. I shiver slightly ...
Episode 10 of “The Following” was not the most suspenseful of this new series by any stretch. It felt more like a filler episode.

Sweltering, slimy, sweat-drenched misery. Pillow damp as the fan drowns you in a lukewarm river. The fiery sacrifice to some wretched, demanding, ancient deity.
