I couldn't help but think of that Twilight Zone episode where the freckle faced boy, Billy Mumy, has the ability to wish people into the cornfield. So everyone has to do what he says. He is petulant and unstable. Here we have a kid on drugs who can make people do whatever he wants. He is angry with his father who said his mother was dead when, in reality, she was an drug abuser who eventually straightened out her life. What is interesting is that the kid did horrible things and knew every minute what he was doing, using his powers to kill. Yet in the end, he is not held responsible, getting a slap on the wrist. I see many of the viewers were angry about this portrayal. Of course, the last minute or so, they drop a bomb on us again. Too much.
