Harper's Island

[Spicoli hey bud]

Did anyone else watch the first episode?

Hopefully this can become an entertaining show. I thought the first episode was decent, definitely entertaining.

[Everiggs]

Forgot this started last night...I'll watch the first episode online and see if I like it.

[fly_guy]

I watched it and I really liked it. I think that it'll be a decent show.

[samsara]

I was watching it last night and didnt realize what it was until someone mentioned it. It was really good.

[lindZ629]

Soooo entertaining. I picked Harry Hamlin to be the murderer from the beginning of the episode and who's the first one to die? Oh, Harry Hamlin. Bitches didn't even let me believe I was right for just a couple episodes before getting my hopes up.

[alboneceleste]

This show has creepy stalker Derek from One Tree Hill in it. I didn't know it started so soon. I'll have to catch it online.

[Spicoli hey bud]

That's Uncle Harry Hamlin to you.

I haven't made any guesses yet, there's too much creepy shit going on.

[Justin_stacy]

Wife watched it, seemed rather cheap and tame, from a distance. Reminded me alot of those awful teen suspense movies of the 90's like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Urban Legend.

[irthesteve]

Watched it, it was so cheesy and pretty bad, but entertaining so whatever. I'll keep up with it. My initial guess was the groom being the killer

[ThexQuietxCull]

i'm going to miss harry hamlin. after one ep? DAMNIT

[AtlanticRadio]

That little girl creeps me out.

[googirl8907]

I thought the episode last night was pretty good. I'm going to try to watch this show regularly.

[Spicoli hey bud]

Also, check this out.... http://www.harpersglobe.com/

They are little videos that apparently give you hints as to what is going on. I'm still a little unsure what they really are.

[domotime2]

there needs to be MORE shows like this...murder mysteries where the audience gets to play along...

or how about another cop show...oooh, or a show about a hospital

[billyboatkid]

I saw a preview for this. I didn't know what to think though.

Worth checking out?!

[MADSTA]

Is this that show with the commercials that have a creepy little girl voice saying "One by one..."

[ThexQuietxCull]

Is this that show with the commercials that have a creepy little girl voice saying "One by one..."

yeah, and that girl is super creepy.

[lindZ629]

This show is way too addicting. You guys still watching?

[circatbs]

I just watched last weeks episode this morning, and it was damn good. Stoked for tonight!

[NickLopez]

I remember like five or six years ago there was a reality show that was like this meets The Mole. There were a bunch of people who did challenges or something, and one by one they got "killed" by a "killer", who was one of the contestants. I can't remember if it was cool or if it was lame, but I remember thinking it was cool.

[NickLopez]

Yeah, I found it! It was called Murder in Small Town X.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_in_Small_Town_X

[domotime2]

murder in small town x was THE! best reality show of all time.... (mole being a close 2nd). Thats exactly what a reality show should be like... i mean, all these reality shows are scripted anyways, so why not just make it a full on script to make it good. Get the fans to PLAY ALONG! thats the coolest aspect of murder in small town x & harpers island.... WE are part of the fun. WE get to try and figure out who will die next and who the killer is.

its simple, the dialogue is useless, its basically a run of the mill horror movie...but its a lot of fun, and 1000x better than a lot of crap out there.


It wasnt picked up for a 2nd season..aka, new murder mystery.

[irthesteve]

anyone keeping up? just watched last weeks, not that the show is that good but it is very entertaining

[lindZ629]

It's going to be on Saturdays from now on starting with this week's episode.

Rather than canceling the struggling serialized murder mystery Harper's Island, CBS announced today it will move the show from Thursdays at 10pm to Saturdays at 9pm, starting May 2. According to a network release, the 13-week limited series showed improvement in DVR and online viewership, an indication that it had enough of an audience to sustain the show through the end of its run.

[Justin_stacy]

Kings was canceled after one week on Saturday night, if I was you guys I wouldn't get too involved in this show.

[irthesteve]

It's going to be on Saturdays from now on starting with this week's episode.

ehhh, not all too sad. I never watched it when it was actually on anyway

Kings was canceled after one week on Saturday night, if I was you guys I wouldn't get too involved in this show.

There really is nothing that I feel like is a big enough mystery to make me sad for it to be cancelled. Its entertaining, but I am not dying to keep watching it.






Best thing about this weeks episode though, started off with a Steel Train song. Half wtf and half cool, haha

[lindZ629]

There's only 10 more episodes left. I don't see why they couldn't just leave it on Thursdays being that most shows are going to have their season finales soon. 8 million viewers is still decent, and moving it to Saturdays will drop them even lower.

I couldn't place the song and it was pissing me off. After about 10 minutes I finally realized it was Steel Train. Such a good feeling.

[Spicoli hey bud]

I haven't even had time to watch any more than the first episode, but I hope they don't cancel so I can catch up when I get some free time in a few weeks.

[Justin_stacy]

It finished third each week in the ratings, despite following the highest rated scripted show on television. There was no way CBS was just going to live it there to lose viewers (about 2 million each episode).

[alboneceleste]

what station is this on so I can find it online and watch when I have nothing to do next weekend!!?

I realize that, there just probably won't be much on against it in a couple weeks. Constantly changing the location of the program usually does more harm than good.

[Justin_stacy]

Ya but the thing is they don't care if it hurts the show, by moving HI to Saturday they've already written it off as a dead. The goal with Harper's Island was to bring in some youthful viewership to CBS's geriatric based demographic (which is the least profitable, although most loyal) and it didn't work and it lost a good number of viewers each week....

[alboneceleste]

I thought this show was just a special that was on for the time it will be and there will be no other seasons.

[domotime2]

this is sad news. Id hate to lose a show like this.

[irthesteve]

the question is what is gonna be on Thursdays now...?

[Justin_stacy]

the question is what is gonna be on Thursdays now...?

Criminal Minds reruns....excited?

[Andy K]

the question is what is gonna be on Thursdays now...?

Reality TV

I've watched the first three episodes of Harper's Island and I've really enjoyed them. It's not the best show ever, but it is something different. There isn't anything like it on network tv right now. I'm kind of bummed that they put it on Saturday nights because that is a terrible time slot. At least I can still see it On Demand.

[circatbs]

:shrug: I like that it's on Saturday night. They won't cancel it, it's a one time event. They'll just let it go through all the episodes because it'll never be on again after this. There's nothing to do on saturday nights for me except playing video games, so this will give me something to do :-d

[COREhorizon]

anyone else think that the killer is Jimmy or Cal?

[mattmatumbo]

Show is so good, gotta love it. I'm thinking it's the main girls old sweetheart who is a deck hand and hunts deer, but then who put the deer on his hood?

[lindZ629]

I'm pulling for Henry. Why would Jimmy kill the Reverend when he obviously likes Abby, which would get Henry out of the picture by marrying Trish. Also he would've had to come back to the mainland to throw Uncle Ben under that boat and then get back without anyone seeing him.

[circatbs]

Last night's episode was really good. It's def. not Jimmy.

[mattmatumbo]

I've noticed that "Candlewick Inn" stuff is shown in a few of the murder scenes, the boat that has the shotgun hidden in it is a Candlewick Inn boat, and the girl that is set ablaze is burned with a Candlewick Inn matchbook. I'm trying to figure this out.

[RejoiceMySoul]

I think the killer is the sheriff just a wild guess though.

[irthesteve]

I think the killer is the sheriff just a wild guess though.
That's fucked up if true, but his collection of Wakefield stuff could aid that guess alot

[RejoiceMySoul]

That's fucked up if true, but his collection of Wakefield stuff could aid that guess alot

Yeah, that's what leads me to believe it's him. But idk, it really could be anybody.

[irthesteve]

Yeah, that's what leads me to believe it's him. But idk, it really could be anybody.
or it's not a recurring character and it actually is Wakefield, and he is the man with a half-burned face that we have seen twice now, most recently with JD at the end of this episode

[RejoiceMySoul]

or it's not a recurring character and it actually is Wakefield, and he is the man with a half-burned face that we have seen twice now, most recently with JD at the end of this episode

Possibly, however I would be disappointed if it wasn't a recurring character. That dude is creepy though lol

[mattmatumbo]

or it's not a recurring character and it actually is Wakefield, and he is the man with a half-burned face that we have seen twice now, most recently with JD at the end of this episode

I think the man with the half burned face is JD and the groom's father, i only think this because after the 6th episode(?) JD runs to that mans house, and he just lets him in.

The sheriff is totally possible though. I think he may have been the original murder, then blamed Wakefield, killed him, and covered it up.

[lindZ629]

I think the half burned face guy is someone who survived Wakefield's first wave of killings. I think there was something on Harper's Globe about it.

Here it is:

Wakefield Murders Sheriff’s Wife on Killing Rampage
By J.J. Whispers NEWS REPORTER
Seattle Police have released the names of the victims in the brutal and deranged killing rampage that took place on Harper’s Island. The Tacoma man, John Wakefield, stabbed, burned, decapitated and hanged more than eleven victims, leaving six dead, in various locations around the island before being shot dead by Sheriff Charles Mills. Police are unsure of Wakefield’s motive although three of his victims were law enforcement and another was identified as Sarah Mills of Harper’s Island, the Sheriff’s wife.
Witnesses told Police that they heard an explosion in the harbor and then followed screams to a large willow tree on the outskirts of town where they found three bodies hanging – one of them being Sarah Mills and another, Kate Seaver, a secretary at the Sheriff’s Office.
Also killed were fishing boat captain, Harris Antonini, of Seattle; the harbor master, Christopher Cullen, of Harper’s Island; Deputy Joshua Aiken of Harper’s Island; and fisherman, Randall Martin, of Harper’s Island. There were five other victims to survive with one, Deputy Cole Harkin, in critical condition for third degree burns at the Washington Pacific University Burn Center.
Further investigation is pending as this sleepy vacation island mourns the loss of five highly regarded citizens and tries to heal from this senseless tragedy.

[irthesteve]

Hoooooooooly shit at the end of this week's episode

[nivek87]

Hoooooooooly shit at the end of this week's episode

that was nuts.

[irthesteve]

i don't even know what to think right now

[Goat01]

I don't think Henry covered in blood had anything to do with the ending.
They just timed it that way so we'd all think suspiciously of him..

[mattmatumbo]

Sames, i was assuming it was the killer, but when i saw Henry covered in blood, i didn't think it was him. My friend thinks that anyone who wants to stay on the island is the killer, ie: the english guy, henry, trish's sister... Any of those is who she thinks the killer is.

I can see where you'd think that, about the ones that wanna stay.
I don't think it's any of them though.
I never considered Henry, JD, or Cal (the english guy) at all, and I still don't.

My money is still on Wakefield.

Yeah sames on Wakefield. All the rest are in the wrong places to be killing people it seems like. If it's anyone other than Wakefield i could see henry or the sheriff being the killer

[Goat01]

No matter who it is, you always know who's going to die.
When someone walks off by themself to go do something nice, they're dead.
Richard got harpooned while he was on the phone making sure his family was OK, the big guy (name?) got killed while he was burning the money, I forget what Uncle Marty was doing, but he was alone, the girl who got lit on fire was chasing after her dog, etc.

I think the only exceptions were Trish's dad, right? And Booth, but he shot himself.
And Hunter, but he was a dick, he deserved to get a shotgun blast to the face.
And Cousin Ben, but I don't think he counts.

Damn. Too many exceptions, I think my theory has been disproved...

[irthesteve]

People always walk off by themselves, not at all a good indicator

[Goat01]

People always walk off by themselves, not at all a good indicator

If it's towards the end of the episode, it's probably a safe bet they're screwed.

[ThexQuietxCull]

one question i still have is why did uncle marty have a gun and that bag of money to begin with, and how trish's ex got a hold of it next?

[irthesteve]

If it's towards the end of the episode, it's probably a safe bet they're screwed.
yes, i can at least back you on that one

[Goat01]

Tonight was kinda... bleh.
I enjoyed it, but it could have been better I guess?
Still a good episode though.

DVD announcement

[Throwback]

I didn't think anyone watched this show haha. Its kinda lame, really predictable, but I'm hooked. Plus, its the most blood I think I've ever seen on network tv.

[Justin_stacy]

I watched the first three episodes and wasn't impressed, but I think it work alot better on DVD when the episodes can be viewed in bigger chunks.

[lindZ629]

Maggie creeps me out. Sometimes missing, sometimes with the group, always in the background...I don't think she's the killer but she could be an assistant.

[divineignorance]

this was a discussion me and my friends were having, just some things i thought people might be interseted in.

ONLY READ THIS IF YOU ARE UP TO EPISODE 10

If you think about it Jimmy is a BIG suspect:
-richard died with a harpoon (jimmy is a fisherman)
- half-burned face guy died with arrows (jimmy is seen deer hunting with shane)
-kelly and maggie hanged (he is seen tying ropes and whatnot)

it could be henry because there is this blog thing that shows whe henry left the note to trish pretending to be hunter, the handwriting was exactly the same as wakefield's diary.

But then it could be jimmy because when he saw the "note from wakefield that fell of jd" the page wasn't burned but the whole book was? so maybe jimmy had it on him before.

Also in the wakefield letter it doesnt say if child is boy or girl it might be henry you never knew, his aprents are dead, remember?

points to consider:

- that maybe the person who pulled abby's leg in the tunnel was the sheriff?

- the uncle was being blackmailed by the killer so he got money and thats why he also had a gun?

- wakefield's child is chloe.
-in one of the earlier episodes she was in the woods at the shrine at wakefield's grave.
-she is blond and from the pics of wakefield he seems to have light hair.

- or if its henry, jd found out and thats why he died..

Try to notice any similarities...

it could be shea because
1. She was one of the people that could have pulled abby's leg in the tunnel.

2. She was walking while others were in the tunnel and could have easily jumped down in there through one of the road holes.

3. She conveniently saw madison's hand while they were driving down the road at night.

4. She could have planted the articles in Richard's briefcase.

5. She could have already known about the affair or not have known and Richard died soon after she found out.

Great detective work. lol

[SeeTheLights]

Wow, last night's episode was amazing, and Henry is a creep.

[Shattered Glass]

Wow, last night's episode was amazing, and Henry is a creep.

haha i didn't see that one coming! i don't know how anyone could of predicted how the ending turned out.

[lindZ629]

The ending actually wasn't amazing. The season finale was by far the weakest episode of the series. Henry I'm ok with, the reasoning behind it I'm not.

[Shattered Glass]

maybe it wasn't amazing but it was a surprise

[SeeTheLights]

haha i didn't see that one coming! i don't know how anyone could of predicted how the ending turned out.

Yeah I didn't see it coming at all, at first I didn't care for it since I thought Henry was a weak choice since he was so nice but after they showed him as the assistant to Wakefield he came became creepier and creepier.

[SeeTheLights]

The ending actually wasn't amazing. The season finale was by far the weakest episode of the series. Henry I'm ok with, the reasoning behind it I'm not.

I actually thought it was the best episode of the season, with all the suspense and stuff.

[irthesteve]

Watched it, it was so cheesy and pretty bad, but entertaining so whatever. I'll keep up with it. My initial guess was the groom being the killer
i win

[happygilmoreat]

The ending actually wasn't amazing. The season finale was by far the weakest episode of the series. Henry I'm ok with, the reasoning behind it I'm not.

I totally agree. I highly doubt something that insignificant that Abbey said when they were like 9, changed him forever.
Not like in Dexter. That makes sense, he saw his mom get killed and tortured...a little more dramatic

[divineignorance]

Great detective work. lol


thanks :D

[cirerelleum]

so i just saw the ending a few dayus ago. i knew it was henrey this whole time! i think the climax of the show didn't happen in the end though, i'd say it was when chloe and the british guy died.

[Spicoli hey bud]

Just finished.

While it wasn't that great of a show, it definitely kept me entertained. I thought that the Henry part was pretty predictable once you learn that Wakefield had a kid.

[HelpMeSleep]

I just started watching this since I saw it was on instant netflix and I'm only on the second episode. I just watched the cute old church guy with his sweaters and scone and lack of hearing get killed and couldn't help but feel like it was sort of like killing bambi,

[domotime2]

these are the kind of shows that needed support when they came out..... it was a FUN show....new deaths, keeps you guessing....thats all i want.


thats why i LOVe flasforwad and V...and will be all into Happy town when it comes out. I blame YOU america

[Dystroxia]

I miss this show so much

[troubledbyinsects]

I used to fuck with this show. I might rewatch it. It wasn't "good," however it was extremely entertaining.
