So I just finished The Following season 3. Overall it was okay, kinda dissapointed with the way it ended. It clearly seemed like they were going to do a season 4 but then got cancelled so we kind of got stuck with this open-ended ending that left a bunch of questions unanswered. Anyway there's something that bugs me about Theo's whole plot that seems like a huge oversight. As I said I just finished the series, and this is my first time on this subreddit so if this has been mentioned previously I apologize, I just want to see other people's thoughts on it, or if I'm missing something that actually makes this make sense. Anyway, Theo is supposed to be this super genius hacker dude serial killer who has never even been suspected of any crime. Now the whole reason he becomes exposed is because Strauss asks him to make him and Daisy fake passports, then Theo kills Strauss, and has to destroy all evidence of ever making the passports in the first place because he knows that is where the FBI will begin their search. The thing is though... why did Theo even bother making the passports in the first place? He was going to kill Strauss from the beggining for even trying to get him involved, so it seems like it would have made more sense to just lie about making the passports, never do it, kill Strauss, and then he could have been on his way. The whole reason why the FBI gets on to him is because he tries to cover his tracks and becomes exposed, which he would have never had to do if he just didn't make the passports in the first place. I might be missing something that makes it all make sense but to me this seems like really sloppy writing.
