Harper's Island OAD 4-23-09 "Ka-Blam"

Oh well, bitter no one else has made a thread yet so here I go :). First off, I must admit I was fooled by the title, figuring it would be an explosion of some sort, but the old "shotgun rigged to the engine compartment cover" trick worked just as well, I guess. Of course, Hunter getting hunted down makes for the dad as the prime suspect, but I'm still going with the kindly innkeeper woman, who didn't appear this week (at least for a speaking part) ;)

I wonder what the Money & Gun was for? Why would anyone drive back to the mainland in the dark? That is just plain stupid. No one guessing who the killer is yet?
How come no one has noticed the people missing?

My favorite part was when Hunter was getting in to the boat and he hears footsteps, and instead of turning around to look down the dock--the only place where someone could possibly be walking--he looks out at the water and says "Who's there?".

Ummm...I did in the post right above you.

How come no one has noticed the people missing?I haven't been keeping track of how much time has passed but maybe it hasn't been that long? Although it seems like someone would have walked across the bridge that Uncle Marty is stuck in by now.

Ben they'll never find probably and they already think he just hasn't showed up. The reverend is in a remote part of the woods possibly and it might take a while to find Lucy in that pit as it's probably in a remote location too. But you'd think someone would have said "Hey, where's so-and-so?" by now.

Did Hunter fall into the water or land on the boat? I can't remember. If he's on the boat, then he'll probably get discovered pretty quickly although it will look like an unrelated murder I think. Although it was inventive, I don't think it had the same "grisly quality" of the other murders.

I think they were trying to setup the BIL as the killer, at least I think he is the BIL. He's the guy that was being nice to Henry at the skeet shooting, then nice to the British guy watching his gf and then all dominate towards the fathers wife. He was there for the skeet shooting, he had the gun on the bed and that same kind of gun killed Hunter in the end. Which means it probably isn't him.

I was thinking its the Brides sister. She has been in a lot of the episodes with no real purpose. She is never in a scene around the times of the murders.

The money and gun belonged to the uncle, the second victim. They showed it in the first episode, though not the reason behind it.

As for finding people, I've watched enough horror movies to know that when it rains, it pours. Once one body is found, they will all start to pop out of the woodwork ;)

I still have no guesses of my own but my SO thinks that it's Ex-Boyfriend Fish Guy, who we did not see this week. :)

CBS is shuffling the series off to Saturday nights.

Oh well, I think the problem is that it tries to be too many different things - they call it a "murder mystery" but it's a bit on the (implied) gory side for most murder mystery fans, and not gory enough for the gory horror fans, and too soap-opera-y for both, but too much mayhem for soap-opera folks, and too many characters to keep track of for everyone. Other than that I think it's pretty good :up:
