Panic S1E2


Episode two and we get a sense of how much life sucks for Heather and the other inhabitants of Carp, TX. Ray the jerk get a collect call from prison- where his dad is- and Heather has to dodge the rent guy. And dang no one thinks she can win, and that is seriously pissing off Heather right?  

I'm not sure Heather needs to apologize to Natalie here or explain herself. I mean, her mom stole her money! And anyone can play Panic, right, it's not like Natalie is entitled to only play? I remember from the book though that Nat has issues, so that'll probably come out, but still. I think it's interesting that they decide to partner up though... 

I like that the sheriff's department is all over this because in the book I thought they were a little asleep at the switch. 

Oliver wanted Ray to have a bigger role so more asshole! 

Handicapping the players. I like the line about the dude who wears lip gloss- how he's a badass if he can do that.  

This challenge is Walk the Plank. The slower you go, the less points. 

Screw this. 

The cops are late. Busted. Everyone books.

  1. Yeah that was CRAP that Natalie felt so... entitled to Panic that Heather had to feel bad. Especially since Natalie would have been fine without the money. Her dad was one of the decent ones FFS! Natalie did a lot of questionable crap though, let's be real. Maybe in S2 Heather can find some new friends. What about the round fellow? He was fun, I liked him! She can be his new bestie! Everyone else sucks, frankly. Actually- she can hang out with Dayna and Aunt Jackie (that is what I call the lady cop because she seriously looks exactly like Laurie Metcalf circa 1990, I do not make the rules). Anyway I am in a deep, deep show slump now, so I will just be over here reliving Panic through your posts.

    1. I don't like Natalie. And yes the round guy. I liked him too- he was excellent comic relief. And I'm so proud an observaton I made in my first recap proved TRUE. Had no clue. Yeah everyone sucks. As we've discussed- Ray tho!!!

      I'm in a slump now too, after The Wilds and this. We need a new show!

  2. This is new to me, so as you can see I really need your posts to stay updated with TV series! I didn't read the book, but from the show it really sounds like a creepy story . . .

  4. "Walk the Plank. The slower you go, the less points." Haha. I once saw AXN Ripley's Believe it or Not challenge where people had to swim cross a pool full of rattle snakes. Let me tell you, there were *several* contestants.
