    Hell, caught it tonight and was somewhat disappointed that the "original" killer is still alive and apparently responsible for at least most of the killings. Kind of a drag. Thought it was the groom for sure, but he's been pretty much eliminated as a "suspect" due to laws of time and space. I still can't tell half the cast apart from each other. Thankfully it's down to the final three eps.
     
  2. Yeah, I think Wakefield (the original killer) still being alive is lame. The sheriff never told anyone that the mass murderer was never found after he shot him? That's reasonable.
    They hinted that next week they are going to act like the fisherman guy may be in on it too. There better be someone else involved at least, or the whole "mystery" aspect of this is not even a fair mystery.

    this show is still on? and people are still watching?

    why?
     
  4. Why not? Nothing better on Saturday night.
    It's decent and still has some good-looking chicks.

    This show is so not good. I'm watching (and only as background when I'm doing at least one other thing) at this point to see how it ends ... even though I DON'T CARE. They could end it with, "And so it was aliens all along," and I would say "whatever" and move along to the next thing without a second thought.

    I agree - half the fun was trying to figure out which member of the cast was in a position to be the killer and why. Now that the original killer is alive, and its pretty clear he wasn't framed the first time around, it's just blah.

    Shit - this last hour really sucks. Sad that I had this thing pegged from the jump.

    I thought the two hour finale was good and at least wrapped it up. I knew it was Henry for a while, although I never saw that he and Abby were half-siblings. Abby should've just sent her regrets and a gift and be done with it.

    The end of the penultimate hour -- when Henry kills his bride and says "Hi, dad" -- was the closest thing to a dramatic moment they ever managed to produce. I hope every writer associated with that show has their WGA cards revoked.

    The sound editor earned his dough though.

    Truly horrible ending - with incest overtones for added zest.
     
  12. The ending was bad, yes, but so was the whole show. It's really pretty amazing it was as bad as it was -- and yet I still watched every episode.
