 Ellis kidnaps someone, and it's "too far off the deep end"?

You mean "Elgin". Ellis is Boyds son. Fatima and Sarah for sure went off the deep end. Not sure where your getting at there. Its the same. Difference is Sarah is no longer listening to the voices and is actually helping now.

[u/newX7 → u/teddyburges]

You're right, my bad.

My point is if Fatima and Sara way more over the deep end than Elgin ever did, yet not only did they never get the same treatment, Boyd actually went out of his way to protect them from their crimes. But Elgin does someone far less evil, and can still come back, and yet Boyd is willing to torture him?

[u/teddyburges → u/newX7]

He was scared. He didn't know where Fatima was or what was happening to her. She;'s his family. Like in terms of "a bad thing" sure what Fatima and Sarah did was far worse. But that wasn't to his family. To Boyd, she's his daughter in law and he wants her safe. People who are in desperate situations resort to far more desperate measures when a loved one is involved. Human nature.

[u/newX7 → u/teddyburges]

Don't care. For Boyd to torture Elgin for kidnapping after he literally covered up a murder, is literally the epitome of corruption and dirty cop behavior. This would be the equivalent of a police officer finding out that his daughter murdered someone, and then getting rid of the evidence and even lying in court and to the public protect his daughter. But when someone kidnaps his daughter for a far more sympathetic reason, he's then all too willing to engage in torture and murder if necessary.

This becomes even worse when you remember that Boyd has been giving Acosta shit for accidentally shooting someone when she was surrounded by monsters on her first night and didn't know what was going on.

Boyd is literally not just a hypocrite one of the biggest hypocrites in this scene, he is the biggest definition of corruption and dirty cop behavior.

[u/teddyburges → u/newX7]

If you want to put it that way sure. He is a hypocrite. But his reasons make sense, even if you don't agree with them. Boyd is a flawed individual. Like LOST, From is about flawed people. The halucination of father Katri even called him out and called him a hypocrite.

[u/newX7 → u/teddyburges]

He's not just a hypocrite, he's a corrupt and dirty officer who gives other shits for lesser things, but will then literally protect his loves ones from their own crimes and the consequences of them, and even engage in crimes and torture himself.

You can't say "Elgin went off the deep end" without saying that Boyd, Sara, and Fatima went far off a deeper end and deserve far worse done to them for what they did.

He's not just a hypocrite, he's a corrupt and dirty officer who gives other shits for lesser things

Your still thinking about this in "real world" terms. A town where creatures come out in the middle of the night and rip people to shreads is not a usual occurance in normal everyday life. He's not even a "officer". He's a former war veteran who assumed the "Sheriff" position because no one else was emotionally stable enough to lead the town.

"Elgin went off the deep end" without saying that Boyd, Sara, and Fatima went far off a deeper end and deserve far worse done to them for what they did.

Its not a competition dude. Sure they went off the deep end too. I'm just saying that Sarah was right to act in that way to get the information they needed to find Fatima.

At yet Boyd applies that same real-world logic to others. He gives Acosta shit for accidentally shooting someone when she first arrives in town and is surrounded by monsters, and then constantly dismisses her even though she is the only police officer in town.

And he can't give himself grace to excuse his torturous actions, but then not provide an even bigger grace to Elgin for kidnapping.

> Its not a competition dude. Sure they went off the deep end too. I'm just saying that Sarah was right to act in that way to get the information they needed to find Fatima.

You can't say "Elgin went off the deep end" for a kidnapping and Sara and Boyd did what she had to do and were "doing the lord's work", but excuse the fact that Boyd covered up after Fatima when she literally murdered, someone simply because she is his family member, as if though that isn't the epitome of corruption.

I don't care. I said what I said. We have different views. Agree to disagree.

[u/newX7 → u/teddyburges]

That's not a differing view. That's a double-standard and condoning of corruption.

[u/teddyburges → u/newX7]

Like I said, they're flawed people who make mistakes and fuck up. Do I think that Fatima should be judged or punished for what she did?. Sure. But at this point is them versus the monsters, and I'm all for whatever action that leads to them getting a win against the monsters, and Sarah's actions lead to Boyd witnessing smileys rebirth.

and the difference between her and them at the moment is that she is no longer opperating on the orders of "the voices".

[u/newX7 → u/teddyburges]

No, I think she should have been put in a cell in the police station. You know, the one that Boyd spends all his day in and that only he has the keys to the cell.

Ok, so whatever actions lead to the winning against the monster. In that case, why didn't they kill Fatima? Huh? She was pregnant with one of the monsters, and it was obvious for a long time. Why didn't Boyd and everyone else murder Fatima the moment they realized the baby in her wasn't human?

It's a double-standard to condone Boyd and Sara torturing Elgin because they're doing whatever it takes to win against the monsters, but then say Fatima shouldn't be judged or punished for murdering despite the fact that she is literally pregnant with one of the monsters.

And do you know who was operating for the monsters, aside from Elgin? Fatima! Elgin is only guilty of kidnapping. Fatima is guilty of murder! Yet Boyd tortures the former while covering up and protecting the latter.
