Crunch7204 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) What were all of the overarching storylines of the show? They can be seasonal. - The Millennium Group's reaction to the end of the world. - The Polaroid Stalker terrorizing Frank and his family. - Frank's gift and Jordan possibly sharing it. - Jordan's illness and the angels. - The Legion arc and Lucy Butler. - The retconned Marburg virus arc. - Lara Means. - The Old Man. - The divisions within the Millennium Group. - Peter Watts and the "Baby in the Cooler." - Frank and Catherine's separation in season 2. - The season 2 storyline in which the Millennium Group was the reason Frank's life sucked. - Emma Hollis's father having Alzheimer's. I think "Closure" was good episode, but it definitely could have tweaked to have been an actual arc and developed further in season 3. - Emma proving herself to be a good FBI agent. - The more antagonistic role the Millennium Group took in season 3. I hated this as Frank was really unlikable in a good part of season 3 because of it. - The four episodes in which Frank and Jordan find closure after Catherine's death. - Ed Cuffle? - The Millennium Group's human experiments (This had been going on throughout season 3.)

Crunch7204 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Can anyone think of any other storylines? Catherine really didn't have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crunch7204 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) The storyline with Jordan and death. Frank trying to keep the evil out of the yellow house. Not really a storyline, but several season 1 episodes foreshadowing Frank's mental breakdown in the season 2 finale.

seesthru Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I dunno... If you think about it, Catherine had the major storyline in the series. Catherine was fighting so many outside forces for the health and safety of her family, and for Frank's sanity and soul. She was fighting the group's influence, Frank's obsessive nature, fighting the "gifts" Frank ad Jordan have for their sanity, It was woven into nearly every episode of seasons 1 and 2. The first time I watched the series, I thought she was a real nag, always on Frank about honesty and secrets.... But, when I watched again, I realized she was right. Frank was spiraling out of control, and Jordan was starting to be affected by this "gift" and Catherine was the one standing between her family and chaos. It was ultimately her death ( sacrifice) that saved Frank and kept him and Jordan bonded, and broke the group's hold on him. And even after death, she was a presence in times of great need, when Jordan was near death, when Frank was unconscious and wanting to give up... So, if you think about all of this. Catherine's fight for her family was the overarching storyline overarching them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthnut Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I agree with all that you said seesthru, and why Catherine is my favorite character. Yes Peter, is it a battle of Good vs Evil. I also see it as ~ Constructive vs Destructive or Enlightenment vs Ignorance or Spirit vs Flesh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunch7204 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 I like to think of this as an arc, the Bobby Darin arc, he was mentioned and his music was in several episodes and I think the payoff was the "Goodbye, Charlie" episode which I really enjoyed.
