Hmmm...it's described as:

A horror-inspired drama, this CBS series is about a group of friends and family who meet to celebrate a wedding on an island just outside Seattle, an island that is famous for a streak of unsolved murders seven years ago. Suspense ensues when they end up dead one by one; has the killer returned or is someone else to blame?

Sounds like a counterintuitive premise for longterm show. :P Suspense ensues when I wonder if Christopher Gorham is going to break his track record of being on a show for only 1-2 years. :lol:

I haven't given any thought as to who the killer is because I'm still trying to figure out why no one has found any of the dead bodies or even wondered what happen to the people who were killed yet. DID I MISS SOMETHING????? Harry Hamlin fell through a hole in that bridge and was cut in half for goodness sake.

I think as far as the show time line goes through that only happened the night/early morning before, and they are only like midway through the next day. I think the last epsidoe ended the next night. And the groom did ask a few people if they had seen him.

This is my new fave show. It all takes place in 5 days but over 13 episodes, so people don't wonder about missing people just yet, but they do mention people asking about missing people. The kills are very cool and inventive (the one where the socialite falls into a hole and the killer pours gasoline on her and sets her on fire was wicked). And it really could be anyone. I love mysteries. ?i have no clue as to who's the killer yet but my money's on a Wellington. And i'm really hoping the killer's a female. So much more interesting for me when it is.

Well, the killer actually send Henry an SMS from his uncle's mobile phone where it said that he'll be back on the wedding day. That's why nobody wonders about uncle's whereabouts....as for the socialite, I am wondering too? Wasn't she the best friend of the bride?

I did. It was WOW!!!! I can't believe Wakefield is alive. I always thought that there are 2 murderers, but I was sure Wakefield wasn't one of them. Boy, I was wrong...

Maggie is such an idiot. "I'll leave, because he attacks only the newcomers." Like what? Good riddance.

My predictions/wishes:

Jesse is the other killer and he is Abby's brother. Maybe Henry, but not so sure on him.

Cal, Chloe, Shea, Madison, Trish and Abby survive. Possibly Henry.

I'll really be non-plussed if Jesse is the other murderer. i hope it's Chloe. I want a female bad-ass!!!

And it's so lame that Wakefield is really alive. So all these cules and thinking who's doing this and that - and it's some guy we haven't even met. Ugh. It really let me down.

    • Awesome Yep, you can hook up a VHS player to a smart TV. Alternatively, Amazon sells some VHS to Digital converters that you can use to directly connect the VCR's AV cables  to a USB on a laptop or PC. They cost about 20 bucks. Any questions or need help, DM me!
    • -- "The role of Ted Richardson is now being played by...." I love that throwback to soaps from yesteryear. I know we don't want BTG to be our grandmother's soap, but sometimes Grandma's soaps had it right. -- I was FULLY prepared to dislike Keith D. Robinson as Ted, and I even went through things in my mind that I could say because I was fine with Maurice Johnson and felt bad for him.     However, Robinson was awfully good, especially for Day 1. He's a different Ted, but he's a good actor -- natural and real. People saying Gates "should have gone older" are head-scratchers since Robinson is older than Johnson. -- I expected Bill to be tougher than he was with Dana, THE worst mother of the year on soaps. -- Kat went toe-to-toe in those scenes with Dana. We're all in love with Ambyr/Eva, but Colby/Kat is also killing it. -- Derek and Ashley? I'm turning on Ashley, who can't even pretend to like Derek, let alone love him. Her annoyance with him is overboard, and I'm also annoyed with the show portraying Derek as a Neanderthal -- to the point of putting "Neanderthal" in his dialogue. Every single thing he does annoys Ashley, which makes me wonder what she ever saw in him. I want him away from her. -- Seeing Derek and Ashley in that bed was hilarious. It looks like a single, not something for two grown adults. -- Ashley and Andre are still a no for me -- a big no. I see no reason why he'd be infatuated with her. None. At least Andre got a smile from her, which she didn't have for Derek, even when he wanted them to get a bigger place. Derek, please dodge the bullet.
    •   I LOVED Hennig’s Stephanie. AK is Stephanie in name only. Stephanie was never boring to me.
    • July 2012, Abe organized a gala that was an autism fundraiser in Lexie's honor.  This was the huge event everyone was attending (except Gabi and Melanie in the tunnels).. -- when the gas explosion occurred and the building collapsed.  The "Daysaster" cliffhanger before the Olympics break.
    • I think maybe Andre is subconsciously looking for a caretaker/nurturer in his life to replace his parents. That would explain his attraction to both Ashley (nurse) and Dani (older woman/his aunt's sister). I don't see any chemistry between Ashley and Andre though. In fact Andre and Derek had more chemistry in the pasta night episode than either of them have ever had with Ashley.
    • My only recollection of Ms Felder in Tom Lissanti's book is that she was not well liked backstage, and nobody was aware of rumors that she was fired because of her looks, including the network executive interviewed for the book.
    • a) you would not be sorry, but  b) full episodes from the first half of '89 are hard to find. 
    • Ya see..., that's why I can't watch this show on my own!

      I'm ripping it for being dumb, meanwhile half the episode goes over my head.  Hello pot, I'm kettle.
    • When put very plainly it wouldn't make sense, but you could say that Ashley would prefer someone that can pay his own way without sharing expenses and has more than a working class experience. Andre might want someone more stable and level headed. Of course the issue is that the characters don't match despite the plausibility of a connection making s
    • I am fine with no one mentioning Bob-ette again.  It's frustrating not ever knowing what was up with him truly or why we wasted so much time on that to never get a conclusion.  I am willing to forget it though. Abe being on the board makes more sense to me because of Lexie and Theo.  I think there was a wing dedicated to Autism research or treatment years ago possibly named after Theo and Lexie was the chief of staff at some points and worked there for years.  I could see Abe having interest in the hospital still.
