I can't tell you how shocked I was when I first watched this episode. Because Riley's the main character right? RIGHT?? He can't get eaten!!!! Anyhow... I love the protrayal of Bev in this show. I think I said before that you don't need to be religious to understand the show, because it tells you everything you need. But if you have every spent much time in that world it does add extra layers. And so many churches have a "Bev" - a controlling, manipulative person who's not technically in charge but kinda is really. And the way she can find a Bible verse to justify basically anything is deeply scary (and sadly not unknown IRL). The show has been criticised for having too many monologues. But I think when you've got these actors and you've got writing like the Erin/Riley scene, I really don't care. I love it. And it's not like there's no action. It keeps getting better episode to episode in my opinion.

The scene between Riley and Erin is easily one of the best scenes of this show. As to their viewpoints of what happens when we die, I was brought up to believe more along the lines of Erin’s viewpoint. By the same token, Riley’s viewpoint is valid, and probably the more realistic possibility. I agree with your thought of his viewpoint being strangely beautiful. It is genuinely very sad what happens to Joe, particularly because he was making the genuine effort to forgive himself and be able to find peace. To address how you bring up there is the argument of whether or not people such as Joe and Riley deserve forgiveness. My mentality is that even if one does earn forgiveness, that’s actually the easy part, strange though that may sound. The hard part is the question of can you forgive yourself. In Riley’s case, say for sake of argument that he is forgiven for what he did, he still has to forgive himself, and that’s why it is so tragic what happened to both him and Joe is that they were really starting to make progress in getting to the point where they could forgive themselves. The first time seeing the ending of this episode was a shock. I am not prepared for your reactions to the remainder of this series. I mean, I can’t wait to see them, I have no doubt that they will be phenomenal, I am simply not prepared for them. They are going to be reactions to remember.

Bev Truly IS something else.. she basically slapped the Mayor and was like "Don't judge this man for eating a Sloppy Joe with no remorse like it says in the Bible!"
