Noah's Descent
This third season of "The Affair" started even in more stranger time and place; I was still trying to catch up what happened after Noah's outburst in court but then I find we are almost 3 years into future at a funeral of Noah's father. What I find different in this episode was the change in Noah; it was this sad scared and almost empty shell. It's interesting how this character risked everything like his marriage, kids, career all in the name of love/lust for a woman who apparently is also no longer in his life either. He wrote one book got his 15 minutes of fame, with all the BS that came with it, then out of whatever sense of guilt or redemption to confesses to a murder crime he didn't commit to go to prison and come out broken like a wounded lost animal with probably some gruesome memory that is haunting him. This is truly Noah's descent. Some may say he deserves what he gets but Noah is just another human who made mistakes by making bad choices and going after his desires and lost hopes. This character also reminds me of another, Walter White from "Braking Bad", because both Noah and Walter were about the same age, both had families and yet both wanted something they didn't have and went to great risks in attaining them and then losing everything.
