Harper's Island

[TonyStark]

You guys seen the previews for this? They aired one during the SuperBowl and I did a little digging, this looks quality.

Pretty much, some rich 20 somethings are on and island for a wedding and then start getting killed off. Kinda like Scream, but more secluded and it looks like the characters have more backstory, plus being a show, they can actually give the characters some depth and not have them be cardboard cutout David Arquette-esque people.

Starts airing April 9 for which I'm definitely tuning in.
website:www.cbs.com/primetime/harpers_island/

[King Imp]

I have been looking forward to this for quite a while now. I will be fucking pissed though if the network panics (like they always do) if they don't receive the ratings they expect and cancel it before it finishes it's run.

I mean, heaven forbid they allow a show to finish it's run where it may possibly pick up viewers and instead put on reruns. Yeah, I'm so sure those reruns are gonna rake in the ratings. :dry:

[TonyStark]

Nah, I don't think they will, this show looks quality and there have been a bunch of ads for it, I'm sure people will tune in. Plus me and you both will, which is the only way to too it go on.

Plus I think Turtletaub's got a decent following because of Jericho so I'm betting there are going to be a few converts. Looks like the type of show that will grab you after the first episode, so that should be good.

[King Imp]

Without knowing any of the characters, I'm gonna pick one of the bridesmaids or maid of honor as being the killer.

[TonyStark]

Yeah, I'm thinking the bride's father is involved personally.


There's a solid interview with Turtletaub up where he speaks about the mood of the series and what it's going to be like:

[ChrisTheCop]

In the ad I saw tonight, it says on July 2nd, the mystery WILL. BE. SOLVED,

Similar to Lost, that kind of finality and purpose intrigues me, so I've tivoed it.

[King Imp]

I love (or should I say hate) when all along the previews leading up to something make it look like one thing and then right before the show or movie comes out another preview makes it look like something else.

With this show, for the longest time they made it seem like it was a simple premise of a wedding being held on an island and one of the people at the wedding is a killer.
Now, a new preview is out showing there is one woman who is coming back to the island after so many years because when she was younger she was almost a victim of a serial killer and it's gonna be implied that the killer then is back.

I don't know, I kinda liked it they way it seemed before. I don't want some dumb soap opera story about this woman and her past.

[drjoek]

I'll tivo it and give it a shot
Thursday @ 10 is open for me to record until BurnNotice comes back

[Furtherman]

I'm going to give this a shot too... My pick is the Flower Girl!

[topless_mike]

i've heard of it, but back during the 'bowl.
i'll set the dvr tonite.

[King Imp]

Man, that chick Abby (the one who's mother was killed by the original killer) has one hell of a body on her. She looked fantastic when she was getting dressed for the party and was standing there in her bra and panties.

Anyway, as for the show itself, it was okay. Nothing spectacular, but I never expect a pilot to blow me away since they have to spend time introducing characters. Was surprised they killed off Harry Hamlin so quickly.

As for the little girl, enough with trying to make it look like she's a sociopath and could have done this. Like someone that small could pull off the murders we've seen so far.

[KatPw]

The show seems like it will be an episodic version of Scream. Is it supposed to be campy?

[ChrisTheCop]

As for the little girl, enough with trying to make it look like she's a sociopath and could have done this. Like someone that small could pull off the murders we've seen so far.

I think she'll be the clue to (at least the viewer) finding out who the killer is.
She has "a friend", perhaps like Danny's friend Tony in The Shining?

The show seems like it will be an episodic version of Scream. Is it supposed to be campy?

If not, theyve made a terrible mistake.

[drjoek]

This will be a drjoek family show. Goofy slightly scary for my daughter. Easy to follow for the mrs. Hot young babes for me.

The father is the murderer.

[ChrisTheCop]

The father is the murderer.

It really could be anyone, and perhaps someone we havent yet met.

The only one with motive thus far is the British blonde guy, boyfriend of the hot blonde.

He's sexually frustrated, lost an expensive ring, and felt dominated by Uncle Marty.

Plus, his girlfriend is drawn to serial killers....

Yeah I was just going with the one they telegraphed as the bad guy in the first episode.
The bride to be is a babe.
My wife and daughter loved the clothes.particullarly the brides outfits.
My son home from college even liked some of the music
I'm in for the run.
They said in the Times that they will run the whole series through no matter what so even if its not a hit we find out who done it

If it hits they will run another string.

[Brudep]

The killer is the chick's father. The one who is returning to the island. I think he's the sheriff or a cop.

[GameRelatedSig]

The problem with these kinds of shows is that they toss in so many obvious red-herrings, the only way the viewers would be surprised is if the most likely suspects turn out to be the actual killer (or killers).

[ChrisTheCop]

As soon as they introduced the groom, I said KILLER based on his looks alone.

[FezsAssistant]

Valerie Harper?

I think I saw Linda Lavin on 59th St the other day. I always lump those two in together.

[Dan G]

As soon as they introduced the groom, I said KILLER based on his looks alone.


Me too. I still think it's him though cause he's marrying into money.

[King Imp]

Why would he kill his uncle though? To cut ties from his simple, pauper life while moving into the upper class?

That's probably the only explanation I would accept if he is in fact the killer.

[cougarjake13]

As for the little girl, enough with trying to make it look like she's a sociopath and could have done this. Like someone that small could pull off the murders we've seen so far.



i dont think they have that in there for us to believe its her



i was thinking more that something on the island causes them to grow up to be vicious killers

[TonyStark]

Me too. I still think it's him though cause he's marrying into money.

I still don't see why he would kill everyone since he loves the woman s much presumably. Also if he was the killer, I would have thought the first person he'd kill would be her father since they don't get along at all.

I guess we'll see more on Thursday, I'm liking all the speculation about HI on here.

[cougarjake13]

the easy pick would be the brother with all the tats



could they be so cheesy as to have it be the original killer who never really died ?

[topless_mike]

i like it.
cheesy? yes.
but entertaining. and really, you cant axe for more than that.

[ChrisTheCop]

i like it.
cheesy? yes.
but entertaining. and really, you cant axe for more than that.

wocka wocka.

I like to watch it the next morning, with my serial.

That first death was rudderly ridiculous.

If they lead us to believe it's the little girl, theyll be kidding.

Oh, and Uncle Marty's half the man he used to be.




Sorry. He started it.

Marty is selling his shoe collection and his belts CHEAP

[topless_mike]

its gone from mystery into drawn out horror flick.
and, are we to assume that flaming chick dies? whatever happened to stop, drop, and roll bitch?

[Caseyelan]

So we finally sat down to watch this as it's been sitting in the DVR for a while.


Ummmmmm, this may... MAY... be the silliest show I have ever seen.

Dave made a great point during it though, he said.. "why during these types of shows, when they introduce a family member or call a family member over they have to say the relation before the name?"

think about it.


COME HERE UNCLE MARVIN!

COUSIN CHRIS IS DOWNSTAIRS.



etc.

Totally silly.

[ChrisTheCop]

its gone from mystery into drawn out horror flick.

No room for that.she bounced from wall to wall. And yeah, they counted her as 1 of 5 murders so far at the end of the show.

Well, I'm not gonna go to the ends of the earth (NJ) to defend this show, it's far from great. But it's very, as someone mentioned above, Scream-esque, and supposed to be silly in parts. Since it's on tv, it has to be less horror than mystery/drama.

It's a "guilty pleasure" for some.

As for the mentioning of relations, I'm sure they have, although I can only think of Uncle Marty, since he demanded everyone call him that. But it's "akin" to the old sci-fi movies, when everything was "space" this and "space" that; "I'll use my space helmet to contact the space king..it's over there in my space closet." They wanna remind us where we are (and who's who) because we're dumb.

my guess is its the easiest way to let us know theyre related

[TonyStark]

and, are we to assume that flaming chick dies? whatever happened to stop, drop, and roll bitch?

Yeah, she's dead...isn't the killer taking bodies now so you gotta be on top of it in order to remember who has died. I'm liking the speculation though, I'm still racking my brain to think who could actually be the killer.


I have no idea who it could be and now the journalist is intriguing me as the killer since these killings have something in common with the previous killings.

[drjoek]

Who's gonna die tonight?

Damn the bride to be is a doll!

[King Imp]

Glad the ex-boyfriend is gone. Those scenes with him and the bride were getting annoying. Seriously, how fucking hard would it be to knee him in the nuts and scream "Rape!' when he refused to leave the dressing room?

Okay, a couple of questions.
First, that hot chick and the Brit boyfriend. Was it ever said who they are? Neither one has ever had any contact with the bride or groom, so I have no clue what side they are with or what their relationship is to them.
Second, why hasn't anyone questioned where Uncle Marty is? One would think he'd be expected at that dinner, yet no one seemed to miss him.

Okay, a couple of comments.
First, I was so hoping Abby would have gotten out of that pool before covering up. After seeing her in the bra and panties in the 1st episode, I wanted to see more in that bikini.
Second, how the fuck did the father get from the dinner where he was just being toasted to down at the dock where the ex-boyfriend was so quickly?

[topless_mike]

the chick is friends with the bride. that was established in the first episode. it also seems that the husband and the limey are relatively close, as shown by the honey/feathers prank.


Second, why hasn't anyone questioned where Uncle Marty is? One would think he'd be expected at that dinner, yet no one seemed to miss him.


i had that same thought as well.
either:
a) he marches to his own drummer and isnt reliable, hence nobody questioning it.
b) writers are hoping you are confused by the amount of storylines / murders going on and forgot about that. they still havent made contact with the cousin that ended up under da boat.


Second, how the fuck did the father get from the dinner where he was just being toasted to down at the dock where the ex-boyfriend was so quickly?


magic. just ask this man.

[ChrisTheCop]

I think the groom received a text message from Uncle Marty (post mortem) that said he met someone and had to leave but will be back in time for the wedding... something like that.

The groom just shook his head and said "thats Uncle Marty for ya".

i remember that line/scene, but dont think he got a txt.
i think it was more of a "where's marty? oh, maybe he met somebody here on the island"

how cool was that setup by the groom last nite? had she opened the door.....

[Dan G]

No, they showed Henry receiving and reading the text. It said "met a wild one, be back in time for the wedding."

I like how no one seemed concerned about the girl and her dog missing.

I'm convinced that Henry and the British guy are involved with the murders.

[cougarjake13]

Second, how the fuck did the father get from the dinner where he was just being toasted to down at the dock where the ex-boyfriend was so quickly?


well they showed it back to back but who knows how much time passed in their time between scenes

[Dan G]

Harper's Island has been moved to Saturday night at 9 est.

Not sure if this is a permanent move or not.

[King Imp]

Jesus Christ! Saturday night is the kiss of death for shows. That's where they get moved right before they get cancelled.

[ChrisTheCop]

if they cancel this before the promised July 2nd reveal, I'm gonna sue them for 300 million dollars in damages, like that guy who's suing sears for not having the lowest price.

[drjoek]

Jesus Christ! Saturday night is the kiss of death for shows. That's where they get moved right before they get cancelled.



I posted earlier that I read that CBS has picked up the whole run. That it only is 13 weeks I'm hoping it runs its course. Its mindless goofy. Fun.
I hope Tivo picks up the day change.

[King Imp]

So, pulling a Plaxico Burress on yourself is now considered part of the murders?

That was fucking lame!

[topless_mike]

what if the shot didnt come from him?
what if it was from afar ?

i'm also have a problem with a continuity error- when hunter was shot, you clearly saw the back of his head as he was falling backwards.

now, when they found him, it appeared (albeit very quickly) that his head was pretty much blown wide open. maybe it was the birds eating it?

as silly as this show is, at least it keeps it interesting.

[ChrisTheCop]

Sadly, I think Hurley's next, and people will just assume he ran away with the $$.

[topless_mike]

one of the things that i like about the show is aside from chris gorham and chris gauthier, its a cast of nobodys that seem to mesh well. none of the characters really outshine another.

i would like it actually, if they used the same cast in different roles and another "season" of the show. all new scenario, but same flow and concept of the show.

The article I read about the show said they wouled be doing that exact thing. Maybe not the cast but a 13 week arc doing the same thing with a finite conclusion. Its mindless fun. I like the concept.

it keeps me tuned. quite sure im not the only one, either.

besides. if i wanted to watch endless crap, i'd watch lost.
wtf. when your writers/creators say they are out of ideas, isnt it best to just end the show?

Wow..so EXACTLY what topless mike said, but with none of the elements he mentioned? NEAT!

[King Imp]

Considering they wasted no time in moving this to the "kiss of death" day, I highly doubt this will be coming back for another mystery.

How daaaare you sir! I like this show too,
but Lost has an ending. It will end after 6 seasons; very well publicized, and the reason many true Lost fans stay tuned. I watch Harper's for the same reason; set end date.

When did the writers and creators of Lost say theyre out of ideas? I only hear them saying that due to the properties of the island, the possibilities are endless.

[drjoek]

Wow..so EXACTLY what topless mike said, but with none of the elements he mentioned? NEAT!



What I was saying was that what he is hoping for is actually the plan for the show. Thanks for getting involved though

[1234Dracula]

ohhhhh that's what you meant!!! He says he hopes the cast can get back together and do a similar show and you say they're gonna do just that! ...except with out the cast. Still isn't really what he was talking about. You're welcome.

[drjoek]

Tivo isn't showing the show being on after tonight. I hope they haven't bailed. I would be pissed.

[King Imp]

The preview said the next show was in two weeks.

[drjoek]

The preview said the next show was in two weeks.

Saw that

Thanks

[Dan G]

I wonder if this break was scheduled since this was supposed to be a 13 week run.

Also, the show was originally scheduled to end July 2, which is a Thursday, but since the show has been moved to Saturdays, does that mean the finale will be on the 4th of July?

[cougarjake13]

i think i missed an episode

[ChrisTheCop]

FINALLY! A murder happened in front of everyone... of course, itll look like an accident, but Abby and the sheriff will know better.

It looks like Wakefield is alive, in the woods, thats him, yeah?
But I doubt he's the 2009 killer.

At this point, I'm sticking with the friggin groom.

[topless_mike]

nice. too bad its too late to set him up in the creep tourney.

so her dad gets it in the church via falling object?

at this point, wouldnt everybody pack and get the fuck off the island? the point of continuing the show?

i'll shut up now and just enjoy the rest of it. its getting very interesting.

[drjoek]

I love this show :clap:

I first thought the bride was the hottest BUT the more I see of Abby
She is pretty smoking too:wub:

[ChrisTheCop]

Yeah right? Dad dies in the church youre supposed to get married in, not to mention the only priest on the island, who was to perform your ceremony has also turned up dead... aaaand... what? The plans continue? Of course, perhaps the intent of these past 2 murders was indeed to cancel the wedding..... so maybe it's the grooms alter ego?

As far as continuing the show, I see the point...it's a typical whodunnit, nobody leaves the island until the killer is caught scenario,,,, but I just dont see the wedding continuing.

[drjoek]

most likely now, you will see more action. it seems that as the "week" has gone by, its been more of "hit n run" strikes against the guests. but now that the killer's been made (purposely, by the public murder in the church", that he's going to STEP UP and try to take whoever he can before they can leave the island.

[King Imp]

So, now I'm going with the killer being either Abby's dad (the cop) or it actually being Wakefield.

The only reason I think it could be Wakefield is
since they dug the grave up and found a skeleton, that naturally takes the suspicion off it possibly being him. Thus why it could be.
If the grave was empty, people would think it was him. Thus it couldn't be.

[cougarjake13]

fuck

ive missed the last two episodes cause they moved it to sat or whatever

[ChrisTheCop]

A strange feeling came over me watching this latest ep.
What if there's more than one murderer, maybe not even working together, just that they happened to do their murders on the same weekend?

It just seems to me that since different people have motives for each death, perhaps they all just take advantage of the wakefield history to do their deeds? And maybe jd is trying to protect wakefield (guy in woods?) from false accusations?

Speaking of Wakefield, he's pitching tonight. I hope he kills again!!!

[topless_mike]

wow.
show is staring to become less hack and more interesting as the herd gets culled.


btw, is anyone there above a b-cup ? damn. lack of boobies in this show.

[King Imp]

btw, is anyone there above a b-cup ? damn. lack of boobies in this show.

I would say that Abby is a solid C (watch the first episode with her in her bra and panties and then a few episodes later with her in a bikini in the pool).
The cheating stepmom may even be pushing a D based on the outfits she was in during the cheating scenes.

[King Imp]

Okay, I think I got it now.

With the revelation that Wakefield and Abby's mom were once together, I think they had a child together. Most likely a son and that son will be revealed to be that guy that Abby once dated. They are going to be step brother and sister. Oh, and also he's going to be the killer (like father, like son). Haven't determined if the Sheriff knows this yet, but I would assume not based on how friendly he was with him over breakfast a few episodes ago.

So far I am noticing that all the murders revolve around money. Whether the person is wealthy (Thomas Wellington, Richard, that Paris Hilton like chick who got killed after her dog ran off) or they happen to be holding on to a lot of cash (Uncle Marty, Boone, Malcolm, Hunter). The only one who throws off this theory is the priest.

Of course, as with every other mystery on TV I will be dead wrong, but it's worth a shot.

[cougarjake13]

i m kinda thinking the new killings are the sheriff, abbys dad

[ChrisTheCop]

The groom sure seemed to be leading the sheriff in the direction of his brother jd.
(not only physically, as they were looking for him, but also--"did u know he was institutionalized?" "see these psych meds? he's not taking them anymore" "he's been mad at me and dead uncle marty since he was a kid"...etc etc...)

I'm tellin ya..it's the groom!!

maybe HE'S the lovechild of wakefield and abby's mom...theyre not just best friends, theyre brother sister!!!

[King Imp]

I'm tellin ya..it's the groom!!

maybe HE'S the lovechild of wakefield and abby's mom...theyre not just best friends, theyre brother sister!!!

Yeah, plus the whole parents being dead thing would fit with him.

[topless_mike]

Okay, I think I got it now.

With the revelation that Wakefield and Abby's mom were once together, I think they had a child together.

very possible. they way the sheriff was explaining it, maybe abbey isnt his daughter after all....

[topless_mike]

not to be a fag, but i'm finding it hard to have to wait a week for the new episode.

aside from reality shows, this show has a storyline that evolves week to week.
most other shows are just a random day in the life of...

[cougarjake13]

im just anxious to see the conclusion of it all

[ChrisTheCop]

im just anxious to see the conclusion of it all

They are set to announce later today that due to a surge in ratings over the past 3 week period, the the network is giving them 2 more seasons to tell the story.

The actress who plays Abby has already asked for a salary increase:
Juuuust kidding!! 5 weeks to go!!!!!

[drjoek]

Only 5 more to go?
I love the episode title
Thud
Gurgle
:lol:

[topless_mike]

Lost ?

[King Imp]

It completely slipped my mind that this was on and I missed it. Thank God for online viewing. I was annoyed before that I forgot it was on, but after seeing it online I really would have been pissed if I didn't get to see it. This was the best episode to date. It FINALLY took off and had action.

3 deaths, finding another body (and a skull), and a game of cat and mouse all over the island.

Guess my prediction of Abby's boyfriend is out the window now since he was with her when Crispy Face got taken out with the arrows. Thinking it could be the Sheriff is out now too.

Of who is left, it really is starting to look more and more like either Henry or that British guy.

[ChrisTheCop]

Of who is left, it really is starting to look more and more like either Henry or that British guy.

Thanks for finally coming around, but bloody hands Henry worried me that I may be wrong. It's too early for that reveal, to Abby especially. Maybe his hands will be explained away, temporarily, so we stop thinking about him as the killer....until he is!

[topless_mike]

a bloody handed groom just standing there creeped me out. seeing his bro lying there should have set off some sort of emotion. the brit dropped a hint (and wicked stare) when they were all together in that room.

i agree. nice action. story is staring to move along now. 3 episodes left, according to netflix.

[cougarjake13]

maybe theyl expalin the bloody hands as he saw his brother got bloody and then ran for help but come back when he heard abby

[King Imp]

So, I guess the D in the stepmom's D-cups now stands for Dead.










Wait for it.










Wait for it.

[topless_mike]

maybe abbey isnt his daughter after all....

just saying...

[ChrisTheCop]

just saying...

All that book said is that her mom had a lovechild with Wakefield.
I was disappointed that everyone on the show jumped to the conclusion "it's Abby!"

Also, while in those tunnels, it seemed like they were stuck in a game of call of duty.

btw, the groom is still the front runner.

[King Imp]

I kinda called it here, but then again I went with so many choices that one was bound to stick.

So, now I'm going with the killer being either Abby's dad (the cop) or it actually being Wakefield.

since they dug the grave up and found a skeleton, that naturally takes the suspicion off it possibly being him. Thus why it could be.
If the grave was empty, people would think it was him. Thus it couldn't be.


Of all that I "predicted", this was the last one I thought would actually be right.

As soon as the inn woman was killed and everyone left on the show (aside from the sheriff) was in the bar, I just threw my hands up and said "I give up". Guess they had us all looking one way and then went with the obvious answer.

Based on the previews for next week though, it looks like one of my other predictions may have been right.

Of all that I "predicted", this was the last one I thought would actually be right.

As soon as the inn woman was killed and everyone left on the show (aside from the sheriff) was in the bar, I just threw my hands up and said "I give up". Guess they had us all looking one way and then went with the obvious answer.

Based on the previews for next week though, it looks like one of my other predictions may have been right.


good call yo. i so did not see any of this coming, again it being way to fucking obvious. i think that we've been so trained in the tv biz to "always look for the twist, the unexpected" that sometimes we overlook the simplest clues. this probably makes it very fucking easy for the writers.

Great episode. I'm actually going to hate to see this one go. It started slow as shit, but these last few episodes really kicked it into high gear.

I do have to say though that the part where Sully and Danny boarded up the escape door was stupid. I would have left it open and as soon as Wakefield came through, blown a hole through him with the shotgun.

So, who is going to be Wakefield's accomplice? Of course they are making it look like Jimmy, so it most likely isn't. At this point, I think it will be a letdown if it is Henry. I'd love it if it was Trish all along.

I was intrigued to learn that the actress playing the hot bride-to-be (Trish) is Katie Cassidy; who turns out to be the daughter of David Cassidy (from The Partridge Family).

I think I love her...so what am I so afraid of?

Anywho... the fact that they've "revealed" the second killer leads me to believe he's not the second killer....and I'm stickin with Henry the groom, dammit.

Whats the deal with Wakefield not being able to get shot? Could he be a ghost?
He was shot at point blank several times, but the bullets magically missed him every time. How many times are we to believe the person pulling the trigger just sucks?
Come to think of it, he was shot by the sheriff all those years ago, and survived......
hmmmmmmm.....

Also... I'm not sure if this saturday's ep will be a recap or another ep, but the finale isnt until the 11th!! Gasp!

its a replay of the first episode

[TonyStark]

Totally didn't see Cal and Chloe coming.

I thought they actually were the killers for a really long time. Well, after the father of the bride was killed anyway.

I never thought they were the killers,
but for some reason, I thought since they'd survived this long,
they would survive the whole ordeal.

I felt as bad for Chloe having to watch her love die as I did for Abby watching her dad die.

I really didnt expect to care this much about these characters.

dood.

that was tough to watch when cal went though hell to save her and he died, and then she jumped.

I find it weird and interesting that Henry seems to be more interested in spending time with and protecting Abby than he does Trish.

When Trish's dad got split in two, Henry left her in the room to go off on a search with Abby.
Everytime Abby wants to go look for someone, Henry is right there either telling her to stop or offering to go with her.
When they all split up to look for Madison, Henry was with Abby while Trish was in another party.
During the Wakefield manhunt, Henry was with Abby while Trish was with Jimmy.

I know they are friends and all, but wouldn't your first thought be to stick with the woman you were all set to marry?

i think the implication is he really wants her but he never made a move

[ChrisTheCop]

Or, if my theory is correct and he's the killer, he wants to see Abby react to things as much as possible...since as his brother said to Abby, "It's all about YOU!"

ya forgot about that

[King Imp]

I watched the pilot again Saturday night to see if there were any clues given (and to check out Abby in her bra and panties one more time - God, what a body on her). I didn't pick up anything that would have given away who Wakefield's accomplice is. I did notice something strange though. When Trish called Cousin Ben's cell phone, didn't the phone show her name on it when they showed him under the boat? I could have sworn it did originally, but this time it just showed the phone with no message on it.

I also noticed once again where Henry chose to stick by Abby instead of Trish. That was when they all got off the boat and were taking the trams to the hotel, Abby decided to walk and Henry apparently followed her into the woods to the killing tree.

While I enjoyed the finale, I do have to say I was disappointed that they actually went with the most expected premise.

Even though we all at one point or another thought it might be Henry, I thought that was too easy and it had to be someone that no one would see coming. Guess they decided to take the easy way out.

Still, it was a fun ride (when it actually got moving). Too bad there won't be more of these with different mysteries.

[Caseyelan]

FYI. I called this exact ending 4 weeks in. TO THE TEE.

Dave even said he was amazed at my sleuthy ways.

I am so glad this show is over and I never have to see that dumb little kid again.

[ChrisTheCop]

I fully expected pages and pages of "wow ChrisTheCop was right from the beginning!" posts by now...but ok..people wanna say it was them that figured it all out. I see.


(4/12/09) As soon as they introduced the groom, I said KILLER based on his looks alone.

(4/12/09) Why would he kill his uncle though? To cut ties from his simple, pauper life while moving into the upper class?

That's probably the only explanation I would accept if he is in fact the killer.

Then posts in later weeks...

FINALLY! A murder happened in front of everyone... of course, itll look like an accident, but Abby and the sheriff will know better.

It looks like Wakefield is alive, in the woods, thats him, yeah?
But I doubt he's the 2009 killer.

At this point, I'm sticking with the friggin groom.

So, now I'm going with the killer being either Abby's dad (the cop) or it actually being Wakefield.


A strange feeling came over me watching this latest ep.
What if there's more than one murderer, maybe not even working together, just that they happened to do their murders on the same weekend?

Speaking of Wakefield, he's pitching tonight. I hope he kills again!!!

Okay, I think I got it now.

With the revelation that Wakefield and Abby's mom were once together, I think they had a child together. Most likely a son and that son will be revealed to be that guy that Abby once dated (Jimmy). They are going to be step brother and sister. Oh, and also he's going to be the killer (like father, like son). Haven't determined if the Sheriff knows this yet, but I would assume not based on how friendly he was with him over breakfast a few episodes ago.

Of course, as with every other mystery on TV I will be dead wrong, but it's worth a shot.

The groom sure seemed to be leading the sheriff in the direction of his brother jd.
(not only physically, as they were looking for him, but also--"did u know he was institutionalized?" "see these psych meds? he's not taking them anymore" "he's been mad at me and dead uncle marty since he was a kid"...etc etc...)

I'm tellin ya..it's the groom!!

maybe HE'S the lovechild of wakefield and abby's mom...theyre not just best friends, theyre brother sister!!!



Guess my prediction of Abby's boyfriend is out the window now since he was with her when Crispy Face got taken out with the arrows. Thinking it could be the Sheriff is out now too.

Of who is left, it really is starting to look more and more like either Henry or that British guy.

Thanks for finally coming around, but bloody hands Henry worried me that I may be wrong. It's too early for that reveal, to Abby especially. Maybe his hands will be explained away, temporarily, so we stop thinking about him as the killer....until he is!

All that book said is that her mom had a lovechild with Wakefield.
I was disappointed that everyone on the show jumped to the conclusion "it's Abby!"

Also, while in those tunnels, it seemed like they were stuck in a game of call of duty.

btw, the groom is still the front runner.

I feel like a shmuck pointing out my own brilliance, but with no one else doing it,
I thought I'd step in.

Once they did the big reveal at the end of hour one, hour 2 sure seemed long.
But all in all, I'll give a big thumbs up to CBS for producing it, airing it, promoting it, and sticking with it til the end. THANK YOU CBS for enjoyable Summer fare.

well no fair you're a cop

[topless_mike]

i would have posted your brilliance sir psycho sexy, but y'all niggaz beat me to it.
so, you were right. i have to say, though from day 1 although he looked guilty, everything in me said that it was kal, until he was skewered.

i think the biggest twist was not that henry was the killer, not that he was wakefield's kid, but that he was mentally fucked up and was like, abby, its you and me now forever.

i hope cbs does up another series like this. i can see how these can become addictive.
