Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

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] .

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think it needs to be whitefonted, but HI is definitely not a procedural. FTR.

I think whitefonting is a good idea if only to reinforce that we need to stop picking up the conversation here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Either the conversation needs to stop, or it needs to be made less visible. Because here is not the right place, and here is not a general TV thread.
