Thea Beast Season 1 Episode 6 (S01E06)


Well, I tried real hard to make it through this episode but again about half way through I just fell asleep. But for the part I watched I can say that it was just very confusing. I think maybe this is a show for people with autism. I am sure they probably get what the show is about. I am still lost after I thought I got it.

"Hothead" episode info from A&E:

There's nothing more dangerous than an FBI agent who's gone rogue, and Frank Oland may be one of them. Barker, who trained with Oland at Quantico, sends Ellis undercover at the security company where Oland works to keep an eye on him.

The next episode "Cabone" airs Thursday (Feb 26th) 10/9c on A&E!

The Beast Season 1 Episode 5 (S01E05)


I think this episode showed that Charles Barker actually cares and is not as selfish as it may seems.

And to be honest I slept through half the show so not much to say on my end.

"Bitsy Big Boy" episode info from A&E:

May Nan Nhung, a top nuclear physicist, has been doing some dangerous research, and now somebody's trying to kill her. Barker and Ellis face the tough job of keeping her alive and getting her to a meeting of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission where she's set to testify. But May Nan only longs to see her husband one more time because she knows she remains a target. Meanwhile, an injured Ellis is surprised when Rose drops by his apartment as he's getting out of the shower.

The Beats Season 1 Episode 4 (S01E04)


That slap in the car was hideous! What was that all about anyway? I have never seen anything like this before and I really don't want to again. It didn't fit into the scene and looked like a bitch fight but nothing else! All I thought watching it was WTF!

So now the agents that are trying to get Ellis (Travis Fimmel) working with them finding out if Charles (Patrick Swayze) is a rogue agent by using his brother. Only he steals things Ellis regarding to him doesn't need from Ellis apartment.

I must admit the storyline this time was pretty interesting and very watchable compared to the previous episodes. But why do we have always have to watch such weird endings? They really don't give much up regarding the whole rogue agent story or any background story of Charles Barker so why?

"Infected" episode info from the A&E website:

Barker's old pal, Marcus, a security guard at ritzy jewelry store, gets Barker and Ellis involved in a nerve-wracking case involving millions of dollars and a deadly virus. Susan, the store's vice president, has stolen precious jewels in a desperate attempt to pay off the people who've allegedly infected her son with the virus. Barker and Ellis race the clock as they try to track down the blackmailers and figure out what may be threatening the boy's life.

Well all in all the episode was better than the ones before. It just seemed like they finally had a good episode but had to f**k it up with the slap scene! At least there is a glimpse of hope for more good episode.

The next episode "Bitsy Big Boy" airs Thursday (Feb 12th) 10/9c on A&E!

The Beast Season 1 Episode 3 (S01E03)


This episode was the worst one so far. The complete storyline was just really stupid and nothing that I want to watch. This is one of the episode where you desperately try to fall asleep but you just can't. Normally it's the good ones you fall asleep even you don't want to!

Episode info from the A&E website:

Barker and Ellis take on one of the nastiest and sleaziest rackets in the world--human trafficking. Barker goes undercover to take down a Romanian trafficking gang, while Ellis befriends Nadia, a prostitute who's been victimized by the thugs. Nadia's son was sold on the black market and ended up living with an adoptive family in America, and now Ellis is determined to help her get her boy back. Stars Patrick Swayze and Travis Fimmel and co-stars Angela Gots.

The two scenes about Ellis (Travis Fimmel) and his choices of either staying loyal to Charles Barker (Patrick Swayze) or working with the others finding out if Charles is a rogue agent. And to be honest those two scenes felt just so squeezed in because they had to show something about it instead of just focusing on the storyline of the show. A episode without the main subject? No way lets squeeze it in somehow no matter how awkward it later seems in the show! These scenes totally could have been cut out of the episode and no one would have ever missed them!

Lets hope the show doesn't get worse by the episode....

The next episode "Infected" airs Thursday (Feb 5th) 10/9c on A&E!

The Beast Season 1 Episode 2 (S01E02)


I thought I would give this show another try. After the first episode not making any sense I thought maybe this one would make it a little clearer but not so much.

It doesn't seem like he is a rogue agent. Just a agent doing his job his own way with his own rules. Like stealing the blade drive out of evidence. I do believe he did it to ensure the safety of a source.

Is the main theme in the show that the FBI is trying to find out if he is a rogue agent or do they just test his partner on how loyal he is and if he can do the work? So by making him question Charles Barker are they going to be able to throw him off track or is he staying as loyal as he is. For me at least the storyline of each episode is kind of hard to understand. What was this episode about? I don't know all I know is that they were trying to find a guy and to find out where he is they visited some informants but other than that guy being the receiver of a huge drug shipment I have not clue what the episode was about and why they did what they did.

The episode info for "Two Choices" from the A&E website

Barker and Ellis are assigned to take down a major drug trafficking ring run by a man named Jimmy Casserly--who happens to be in the Chicago Police Department's (CPD) custody. Barker fears that if Casserly stays in CPD custody, his drug deal won't go through and they won't have enough evidence to lock him up for good. The partners come up with a risky scheme to bust Casserly out of CPD custody and all is going well until a major wrench is thrown in the gears--an ex cop with a personal vendetta is also chasing Casserly. Meanwhile, Ellis continues to burn the candle at both ends. He runs into Rose and she questions what he does for a living, and Ray from Internal Affairs tries to convince him that Barker is crooked by giving him a DVD with supposed evidence against his mentor.


Don't get me wrong the show is interesting to watch alone for the fact that I would like to understand what the whole show is about at some point soon. So far I am pretty much in the middle with this show. I wouldn't miss it or ever think of the show again if it wouldn't air anymore nor would I mind watching it as long as it airs.

The next episode "Infected" airs Thursday (Feb 5th) 10/9c on A&E!

The Beast Season 1 Episode 1 (S01E01)


Can someone tell me what that was all about? I must say this was the weirdest TV experience so far. First off Patrick Swayze, just seeing him in a TV show is plain weird and beside that kind of seeing him in a scenes makes you think of him in Dirty Dancing. And I do admit that Dirty Dancing is one of favorite movies. So watching him is like every scene you expect him to start dancing or Baby showing up any moment. I would say for about the first half of the show I had no clue what was going and what the whole story behind the show is. I guess if you didn't make it through the show you still have no clue. One part of the show is about a undercover FBI operation that is focused on finding out if Charles Barker (Patrick Swayze) is a rogue agent. So they are trying to enlist his partner Ellis Dove (Travis Fimmel) as double agent to find out is Charles has gone rogue.

Charles Barker is a very unconventional FBI agent who doesn't really goes by the book. He makes the rules, but his way does seem to be very effective.

I think if you can look pass the weirdness of the first episode you may be able to make sense of the show when things get clearer in the next episodes but I really can not blame anybody that is not tuning in any more for the next episodes of The Beast! Not to go too far out of the box but I can bet you that some of the people that watch this show just do so because of the fact that Patrick Swayze has been in the news lately with his cancer. Some may just tune in to see how he looks now and if he still is alive.

I am willing to bet that this show doesn't make it beyond it's first season. I think fans (if there are any) are going to be lucky if A&E is even going to air all of the episode of the first season and doesn't axe it mid season. Well and I guess it's a safe bet for the show too, if the main actor dies before the end of the first season you don't have to cancel the show, his death does it for you! Therefor no worries about angry fans (ala Jericho) because they want the show back.
