  1. Suggestion: even though he's seemingly solid, Killian in the underworld is a spirit. Leaving there would mean he gets a new body. It would be a great opportunity to give him both hands again. and they could just stop calling him Hook.
  2. How about, this: we have a couple of episodes in which Alicia experiences a series of blinding headaches, including one where she collapses. Doctors do tests, find nothing, suspect a deep, microscopic aneurysm, suggest she take it easy. She of course, doesn't. Last episode, after clearing a difficult case, she's at home alone, drinking as usual. Cut to two doctors looking at a scan. One says, i found it, and it looks really bad. The other agrees and says call her in, she needs immediate surgery. Back to Alicia on the couch. The doorbell rings. She answers it. It's Will, silhouetted by white light. Come with me? he asks, smiling. Of course, she says, smiling back. They walk into the light together. Cut to Alicia's body slumped on the couch, still holding a wine glass.
  3. You might want to watch Thirteen, a current british show in the same genre. Irish, variant of "Bridget". Best known instance was the claim of a woman to have been the reincarnation of someone named Bridey Murphy.
  4. So: Bro/Sis/Reporter 3some next week? Agreed on the tease. It'll soon be made clear that Adam is Adam and forgot his birthday because his kidnapper used a different date all those years. Bad shoot? Yeah. Coverup? Please. Good to know someone on the show can make a clear decision and stick to it. I want the perp's job, whatever it is, since it apparently pays enough to keep a middle class suburban lifestyle while leaving enough free time to set up two dungeons, one of which you have to dig yourself. Next character that shows up will probably be a political operative working for the governor.
  5. Cary is suddenly missing. And so is a lot of the firm's money. Last scene is him on a tropical beach with Kalinda.
  6. I wanna see a show called "Mr. Mueller: Curmudgeon at Large".
  7. "River of Lost Souls"? Why not use the real name "Lethe: River of Forgetting".
  8. I like Vargas. And i liked the character that Alan Alda played on The West Wing. A solid opponent to challenge the main character on ideas, not an easily dissmissed collection of cliches.
  9. In the recipe books it'll be listed under tortes.
  10. Doyle is not Trump. He's more like Sheldon Adelson, with maybe a bit of Ross Perot.
  11. Agreed on the revelation of Phillip giving Analise the flash drive. it violates a cardinal rule of mysteries, namely that the audience should have all the clues as soon as the investigators get them. but of course, this is a hybrid show, only part mystery. still, that bit seemed like bad writing to me. agreed also on the hacking, albeit it didn't bother me as much.
  12. Micropolis: From the dark paranoia of the Neighborhood Watch to the technicolor exuberance of the Beautification Project, from the children's games in the pocket park to the dire warnings from the Code Compliance Committee, this gated community is a hotbed of civics in action. It's The West Wing meets Desperate Housewives!
  13. When the doctor said "damage", i think he meant nerve damage. so not only will Sadie have a scar, but parts of her face will be immoble or sag.
  14. I also had that thought but it was no strange vibe, just a very familiar one from watching a lot of mystery shows. Tvtropes probably has a name for it.
  15. Just watching now. Bill said "good to go" I never heard that phrase before the 90s. also saw plastic garbage bags. Also, Sadie's husband shoots a tv picture tube and it doesn't implode. Let's hear it for small town establishments.
  16. Ug. I can't with the disneyfied Hercules and Hades. First, if you use the name "Hercules", then the ruler of the underworld is "Pluto". "Hades" goes with "Herakles". And Hercules did not die tangling with Cerberus. He threw himself into a fire to escape the agony of a poisoned shirt. Also Hades is not a tormentor. He scarcely interacts with his spectral subjects at all. He may oversea the punishments of a few of the notorious ones, such as Tantalus or Sisyphus. But those punishments are decreed by the Zeus, the Furies, the whole council of Olympus, the three Judges of the Dead, etc. And where's Prosephone?
  17. That tripped me up too, at first. But then i realized she meant "did you make the anonymous 911 call from a pay phone?"
  18. First episode, i got a bit of Brat Farrar vibe. i still have it. Still, assuming Adam is really Adam, peeking at is sister is easily explained, he doesn't really feel her as a sister, having been away so long. It's strange to watch this show in parallel with the british one, Thirteen. Agreed about the sex offenders list. You can get on it for indecent exposure or for turning 18 before your significant other, or for taking a picture of your child that someone else thought was inappropriate. Those are not reasons to get your own private Big Brother tether. But in any case, such a law would spend a lot of time in court if it were even passed. I expect there will turn out to be a law enforcement connection. Oh, and as for a main character directing, that's always seemed strange to me. After all the director's job is to stand outside the action and make sure everything's working together. how can you do that and be part of the action at the same time?
  19. I think the thing about the clothespin is that as a child, he was caught touching himself by his mother who chastise him for his dirty, sinful behavior and taught him to "pinch off" his impulses. So he developed a twisted, guilty, self hating attitude towards sex and incorporated the clothespin. Probably, in his mind, sex is only acceptable with a woman who will act on his mother's behalf to release him, thus giving him permission. I know that's reading a lot into it, but we've all heard about cases like this and i think we're supposed to understand that Jake, having more modern sensibilities, was equipped to figure the man out and use his deductions to advantage.
  20. "They got rid of that one. But i bet there's still people down in Hell, doing time on a meat rap!" --- George Carlin
  21. As soon as Maze announced that it was Lucifer's own storage unit that got stolen, i figured it would turn out to have his wings. Also, this episode finally resolves the question of whether Maze is a succubus or not. A succubus would be able to occupy a man's attention without having to resort to bashing him on the head.
  22. Episode 2 features a halfbaked plan to save the childhood of his future prize adult education student by getting his mom to leave town the night of the murder. All it does is get him beaten up. And so he ends up taking the direct approach, he stops the father from murdering the mother and sister by shooting and then strangling him. But before he can do that he's confronted by Bill about lurking. "He's going to kill his wife tonight if i don't kill him first!" "how do you know that?" "i'm from the future, And i have a gun so back off!" "Ok, ok, and actually i don't care if you kill him, because that *&^%$#@! already killed his first wife, who happened to be my sister!" Afterward, he's leaving town when Bill catches up with him. See, part of history pushing back in that episode was a freak fire in his rented room that destroys some of his paperwork. Bill has found some of what he managed to salvage-- a newspaper page about the assassination. Bill is freaking out, or whatever it was americans did before the term `freaking out' was coined. but he's also intrigued and has no reason to stick around town, so he wheedles his way into the project.
  23. Except that if that happened then we'd have to endure a scene where Rowan comes over to present her with a vibrator.
  24. Am i the only one that noticed how, when Abby came to interrupt, Lilian crossed her legs extra tight?
