Its not Booth. . . .he's dead and he didnt' fake his death.

HitFix: With other cast members, I've asked them to guess who killed them, but I guess I can't do that with you?

SR: Here's the thing for me: There was all this talk with Cassandra about all the spirits and stuff like that. I'm just wondering if that had a part in it, because I don't know if Booth would have had his finger on the trigger . I don't know anybody about these spirits that she's talking about, but just as an audience member, I'm starting to freak out. I'm thinking maybe they had something to do with it.

Wow...that's just chilling...because Booth DID NOT have his finger on the trigger. I can't believe he'd roll that off and nobody caught it, and it's nothing to do with anything when I've been harping these screen caps he's not got his finger on the trigger, clearly...but the camera shows Malcolm holding the gun close up both before and after the offscreen shot and his finger's on the trigger...there's something to that, surely. No reason for him to say that...he had to know as an actor under direction whether he'd put his finger on the trigger or not, come on!

The blood is spurting out not running out. hard to fake that. Unless he knew he would be followed and by someone who wouldnt notice a hose runnin along his leg

- and others who feel Booth is dead...

Hard to fake that? They faked it for this tv show ;-p It's not hard to fake, it's sfx. It's a tube and a pump...could've been engaged when he fell onto the pump and it spewed it out. It's dark out. Malcolm's already freaked out.

I'm just sayin ;-) It aint hard to fake. I and friends made a zombie movie in 1986 and I got rigged up with the tube and pump. Now it's standard Halloween fare.

Incidentally, while reviewing E1 again to check on a comment Shae makes in E5 about not seeing JD since the boatride, I couldn't help notice - in light of the whole checkov's gun business and showing the killer within 3 chapters, etc...that Booth is in nada footage whatsoever when the groomsmen are together, until Trish says to Henry that cousin Ben hasn't shown up yet...then it immediately shoots back to the groomsmen and suddenly there's Booth in that shot.

Also, in E5 when they say Booth had an emergency, Henry looks at them like he knows it's BS...scrutinous and curious...yet immediately after, when they say Lucy's not there either, he seems utteraly casual and unfazed, like it's no big deal

And finally, in E5, when Danny uses the cell to call Booth, he leaves a message the first time, but later when the 3 groomsmen are together Danny tries again and blames it on bad cell reception...yet in every other scene regarding cellphones, everyone gets a signal well enough to either answer the call or to leave a message. No other episode noted bad cell reception/signals on the island outside this one time when the groomsmen were together and one was trying to call Booth. Hmmmm.

Whether Booth is actually dead or not will be argued until episode 13. He may very well be dead and if that is the case, his death scene was pretty poorly executed. However, this miniseries is essentially a remake of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" which is about 10 people stranded on an island and find out that one of them is a serial killer, for which the main plot point is that the killer fakes his own death to make his job easier.

This being television and not Agatha Christie or Arthur Conan Doyle or even Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys or Encyclopedia Brown, we will probably see of the conventional murder mystery plot twists when a serial killer is on the loose:

• The hero/ine who is the one who seems to be stalked turns out of have been the killer all along (Abby or the Sheriff).
• The killers are a Bonnie/Clyde couple who get off on killing, it's almost foreplay for them. (Cal/Chloe).
• The killer fakes his/her own death so that they can kill or assist killing more easily (Booth assisting Henry).
• The former lover of the hero/ine who seems to be friendly secretly wants revenge for a heartbreak (Jimmy v. Abby v. Henry v. Trish).
  
• The serial killer who plots specialized traps for people with the traps being a poetic moral judgment on the victim.
• There is also the slasher film where the killer uses whatever weapon or object is randomly available.
• There is also the evil spirits genre where the killer is possessed by satanic forces.
• The butler did it.

Whatever the outcome of this story is it will no doubt make many people groan, "Ugh, that old trick". There aren't that many new serial killer murder mystery plot devices out there -- just the same one's being done over and over again.

My prediction is still what it has been for weeks -- Henry as the main killer with Booth as his accomplice for at least the first five murders and having possibly faked his death.

If none of the loose ends are tied up...like what was the deal with Uncle Marty and the money... The newspaper clippings, the red dye in Kellys eyes...... Madison talking about her new friend and being all creepy.....I'll be pissed
