She played Rory's best friend Lane in the Gilmore Girls. I didn't recognize her until she talked.

 

I watched the second episode. Does anyone else think the mother is a little weird? More than just pushy but like she was an enabler or even an accomplice to her husband's "hobby"?
I think she knew there was a woman in the box and helped Dr. Hubby to get rid of her or maybe she was the woman in the box. The sound effects made me think the mystery woman might even have been alive when the box got opened and maybe it was mom. Of course no trace was found of blood or DNA of any type so could this be a possibility?

 

Watched epi 3 and the show is growing on me. “Malcolm” is much more interesting now as he attempts to find the answers to his questions about his past despite his parents resolute attempts to keep it from him. My vibes were right on that the mother was an enabler who knew what slice and dice hubby was doing. Maybe even directly involved somehow. I also like the interaction between Malcolm and the coroner. Looking forward to next week.

 

Episode 4 has me convinced Malcolm has been had by his manipulative mother. He wants to believe what he heard in the tape but has he, in his attempt to be reconciled with her, forgot that she told him never to go into his dad's hobby room and that he was never to speak of the woman in the box? A good lie contains just enough truth to be believable and Mom fed the leading investigator what he wanted to hear

Let's see how little sis gets along with her ripper dad. Nice switch up to the family dynamic.

 

Oh, shit. He found the station wagon. Where is that going to lead?

 

I have been avoiding posting in this thread because I feel exactly the same. There are so many phenomenal actors (Tome Payne! Michael Sheen! Lou Diamond Phillips!) in this show, and yet it is just so bad at times. I thought maybe it was just the pilot, then maybe the first couple episodes, but it just isn't getting any better.

I don't think I can go on with it.

 

I have honestly really liked this season so far. I promise to post more!

 

I never thought it was great tv, but then again, if I only watched great tv I’d have a very limited selection of new shows to choose from. lol.

I don’t watch this type of genre much so maybe I’m not a good judge but I rather liked the slow, if predictable pace. I thought there was some little nugget about Malcolm’s past in each epi which seems to me is the arc of season one. In fact once he catches his father’s accomplice, where will the writers go from there since he’ll have all his answers? They’ve built his character around his instability due to repressed memories which are starting to return at a fast clip. If he discovers the identity of the girl in the box, whom everyone now knows was real, where do we go from there?

I was.behind two epis but was able to watch them last night. Wow! epi 8 was really suspenseful! The way this new killer operates, has he surpassed his mentor the Surgeon? The only fly in the ointment for me (was it seven or eight, lol) is how could killer dad have set in motion all the things that happened in the prison? Yeah, he could have told his fellow inmate his daughter was coming for an interview and suggested he try to get on camera but he could never predict what would happen exactly, which ended up making him look good and gaining his daughter’s gratitude. Likewise, although spooky, the phone in the cellar was another huh? They touched on it, by explanation that somehow, the mother’s manager had been paying the bill for twenty years without out her knowledge, but really? Maybe, I’ve never been that wealthy so maybe you don’t watch the nickels and dimes. I don’t trust that woman. At any rate I’m looking forward to next week.

Favorite line? “You let him pop you like bubble wrap.” Lol

 

Just finished watching epi 9. Poor Malcolm. Finally gets his sexy on and then almost ginsus his date (Eve) afterwards while in the midst of one of his night terrors. Not a good way to end a nice moment, lol. Maybe she’s the understanding type, .

The current vision of the girl in the box keeps telling Bright to “find me”. When he says he is, she intriguingly replies how can that be so when he doesn’t even remember who she is. Whoa.
A family friend? The nanny? A relative? A neighbor? A teacher?Who would have gone missing that he would have known then and not have any recollection of now?

Then, what will mom do now to even the score? What can she do to her husband while he’s in that maximum security facility?
And what’s motivating her? I think she wants to shut her husband up. While they were both complicit in telling Malcolm the girl was in his imagination, now that the truth is known she doesn’t want her son to find out any more, IMO.

 

ACK! Saw the mid season finale! Wasn’t expecting that and how is he gonna get away? No body knows where he is! And that junk yard killer’s blind grandma, whew, what a nut job!
Malcolm’s mom seemed sincere about finding “girl in the box”’s identity. IF I was mistaken about her I’ll take it all back, lol.
Show will return in Jan. If I heard correctly.

 

I think the disgraced former detective dude who had all the files on TJK is dead. I don’t know if you can survive having your throat slit like his was. Then since no one knows they’re there, right? Creepy granny will probably haul his arse down into the cellar or something.

I get the feeling Dani and JT are kinda warming up to Malcolm which is good.I think Dani wants to have Malcolm’s back when FBI lady throws shade but she doesn’t know how far she should stick her neck out. They’ll come through for him in the end, presumably no matter how many toes they have to step on, cause he’s one of them now. I never saw anything developing between Malcolm and Dani but who knows? He attacked his fund raiser girlfriend with a knife (granted he was asleep) but that kinda maybe puts a little damper on that twosome, lol.

I think Gil has a little something going on for Jessica (I had to look that up myself), at the very least he’s sympathetic to her situation.

Yeah, I have to agree that Ainsley kinda grates on my nerves too. I hate to see her killed but maybe the writers can do...something....better with the character.

I love it when Malcolm’s face to face with a villain and he starts to throw a little psychology at them to get them off balance. Sort of like cornering Dr. Phil, heh heh.
