Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

I saw a LOL of Hugh Laurie as Prince George from Black Adder, with the caption "It's never lupus!" So, so weird to realize those are teh same guys.

I could see the plot stretching out to the end from the beginning of Medium, but enjoyed the flashback as a device to shake up their storytelling. I'm starting to feel for the writers. There's little that they've done lately that isn't a variation of something they've done before. Still, I like their family, and being a lightweight in this department, it's the only show that I'll watch that's a little scary. It's kind of fun being a little bit scared.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
other characters aren't acknowledging missing people except for the cousin that didn't show up and the girl who was hanged.
Uncle Ripped-in-Half "sent" a text message to the groom saying he was shacked up with some woman and not to worry. Which puts a damper on my rogue alligator theory.
I can kind of see everyone just thinking that whoever is missing is just somewhere else and surely they will run into them again soon. The nonchalance about the traps is pretty strange, but I'm enjoying everyone acting suspicious all over the place and people getting killed when only we can see, so I'm okay with it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Harper's Island still isn't a procedural, is it? Have we extended the "figure out the case" past an episode? While i understand it's a mystery, I didn't think it met the definition of the term as we were using it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Well, the sheriff is now trying to figure out what is going on. It actually may become a procedural in spite of itself. It would help if they start acknowledging the murders.

No, I guess it isn't a procedural. Should all that be whitefonted, or should we just not continue the off-topic in here?
On topic: Lie to Me: I think my favorite part of this show is the blog by the guy that Lightman is based on [link] .

We should move the discussion to Natter, ideally.

No, right, sorry, I meant do we move the discussion or move the discussion and also wf previous discussion. That's usual for off-topic but aired on TV stuff, right, whitefont?
