The Alienist Part 2

[nathanbforrest45]

Who watched it last night?

Who is the killer?

The Bishop?
The "spreading God's word" guy?
The mother of the man with the silver smile?
The cop that shot the man with the silver smile?
Is Moore what he appears to be?
What is up with the doctor and his arm?
Is Miss Howard (who is only 23 in real life by the way) more of a sexist than most of the men are?

Your turn?

One starts to suspect Dr. Laszlo Kreizler!

Sara Howard is using the arm to control him. She's pushing him over the edge.



The night of the Penticost, Dr. Laszlo Kreizler and Sara Howard are in the car both dresses almost identically in suit, high color and tie. But when they get out of the car she is wearing a black dress and white blouse. Bit of a continuity problem there.

Hmmmm.......

I was struck by last week's episode between silver smile and his mom. She's clearly a perv or she's an enabler. I'm not sure if she sexually abused him or she allowed the father to sexually abuse him. Jury is still out on that one. The religious connection may be a perversion that happened to the father who preyed on the son who in turn dressed boys up to be girls in an effort to trick his mind into believing he was with a girl. ( I said that in one breath - hahahaha)

I definitely don't think it's the doc. He has mommy issues too but I suspect there is mental illness in his family and that's why he chose the profession he's in.

DF character is a bit blah to me. I'm not sure she's worth much effort in trying to decipher her value right now.

The ex - po po killed silver smiles because he resented and blamed him for why he lost his job trying to cover for his family. He'll be in the pokey soon.

No, it cant be the doctor because he was sitting in the car with Sara Pentecostal night when the killer was walking around and in the boys' brothel.

I still can't figure out what Moore's issue is. I don't think he is the killer but I do think he has sexuality issues.

I also wonder about the good doctors arm. Sara has determined the arm was not always unusable. Perhaps it is not unusable now and if that is the case why is the doctor claiming it is?

I too also ask just why is Dakota Fanning in this series. She hasn't really added much to the story line has she?

Killer has a beard.

Killer has a beard.

I missed that. How do we know. This is what I like about this thread, we all learn things from each other.

[Chris]

Well we don5know the person the camera followed from behind is the killer.

[nathanbforrest45]

I think there is a possibility the killer is a woman, albeit one with assistance. I think there is a possibility its Van Burgen mother. She certainly seems to be engaged in an incestuous relationship with him and is killing the boys he is attracted to.

Of course, now that he is dead that may change my opinion!

OK, Alienist crew. Tonight's the night. Pop quiz tomorrow.
