The writers should just propose to end it after three seasons. I understand your complaint. Hell, I used to think the same way when it first started. But over time, I think what I like most about the show is how much it can appeal to a wide group of people. They solve crimes for all the detective/mystery lovers, it's funny and comedic at times, and romantic often. There's really something for everyone to like. I guess I personally like the character aspect of it, but to each their own, of course.

He lies and says it was another woman who died in childbirth and he/Lily convinces the sisters/Vivine to pretend to be his siblings. Only they all have the same last name...Charles. Plus Lily said it was Vivian's fiance who knocked her up. I can't see Vivian being willing to pretend her former intended was her brother.

That is why we're all wondering with them all having the same last name (Especially if Vivian was his fiance), what happened. Thus my theory.

The writers should just propose to end it after three seasons. It's no more gimmicky than any of the 500 crime shows that CBS shoves down senior citizens' throats. The fact is, this is one of the few shows that actually makes humanity look appealing. And it's strange, given the fact that they deal with people killing each other in every episode LOL. But really, I walk away from this show feeling refreshed, like I watched a new take on something and it leaves me feeling warm.

Fortunately, it lived up to the Season 1 episodes from the start. It was an incredible episode and I loved Kristen as a nun. PD is something that's not like everything else that's on TV today. It's quirky, intelligent and comedic all at the same time. Most Americans don't like to actually think about what they're watching. They prefer everything to be outlined and explained to them like CSI and Grey's Anatomy. PD <3.

What the goddamn fuck, man. Remember Bionic Woman last season? It had a huge premiere rating, then slipped week 2, then slipped week 3, and then bombed Week 4. Let's hope KR is another coming of Bionic Woman.

It honest to god is the most formulaic nonsense ever. There's absolutely no heart in that show, at all. It's as sterile as the fucking way they handle the evidence. I couldn't name a single character's name on that show, and I've seen a ton of episodes while visiting family members who soak up this show like it's television crack. Maybe it helps prevent elderly dementia. Who knows?

Love the fact that Dani's no longer in your avatar, PJ! :P Watched the ep again last night. Wow, what a good premiere. I can only hope that Fuller's able to keep the quality high when a show of his lasts longer than the very short runs that his shows have usually gotten :P Assuming it stays on the air.

He stepped away from DLM after Season 1. And, well we know how long Wonderfalls lasted. So it'll be interesting to see. He is still intimately involved in this, right? I get the impression that he may be a bit of a queen to work with. K, I'm done with my rabid posting. :P Stop bumping the best shows ever people.

Posts: 560 (10/04/08 8:17 PM) I don't get most of the jokes Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I nearly passed out when I saw Ned in boxers. Thanks, writers! The ratings news bums me out. How is it that Grey's Anatomy gets 4 times the viewership of PD? America sucks.

NONE of you thought it was nowhere near as good as it used to be? I'm shocked. It was like they got all new writers who were trying desperately to be quirky and ended up with an overstuffed, nonsensical mess. I didn't miss an episode last season (and even named my kitten Olive), but I won't be able to watch it any more if it continues like this past episode. The nun shit? I'm a musical theater geek but WTF? It just doesn't make sense any more (and it DID, last season, in its way). Nobody else thought it was "off"?

Aside from that, sorry, I disagree completely, the episode was terrific!

The problem is, they can't simplify it because it won't be the same show. I like it the way it is but I'm sure the average American Nielsen family viewer can't understand what is going on half the time.
