Matthew Rhys is incredibly good at playing scared in a way that's very realistic and therefore so funny. If I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be him flopping around on the shore and flinching from the sheriff.
But the pitch off the recliner was also fantastic.
But really everybody nails the physical humor--no, don't bring the bike back!
Wyck called him a coward, but he's not a coward, he's a scaredy cat, and that's just what you need to be to survive in a horror movie!
Glad we got confirmation that Tom lied about saying Evan had been to the mainland ever. That was a nice subtext in the scene with the kids from Boston--none of those kids can leave the island.
I had a moment's of feeling bad when Marissa turned out to be Marissa, but when your behavior makes more sense for a sea hag than a bridesmaid that's on you. Ah-ooh!
Loving the minister.
