A clue that he was a patsy for another killer (or pair of killers)? I also really like Nikki. She is one of the characters you can engage in social networking with on the Harper's Globe website. The Harper's Globe mystery is an entertaining as anything in the televised episode. It was good to see Robin on the actual episode. Maggie and the Sheriff have both appeared on the webisodes for Harper's Globe. I cannot wait to see how this all ties in. I think "Chesire Cat" on Harper's Globe might turn out to be Jimmy.

Tag line for the show is 13 weeks, 25 suspects, 1 killer (like 39 days, 16 people, 1 Survivor). Booth is probably not dead otherwise there is no point in having someone accidentally kill themselves when that person could have just as well been a victim of the killer. It's interesting that in the only episode which featured Booth, no one is murdered by the killer. Current theory is that Booth has a split personality but the meek personality is dead. The other personality has taken over and is either John Wakefield or a copycat killer. Agreed about Booth probably not being dead, otherwise why not have the killer just kill him? There's a reason that they specifically wrote his character to "accidentally" die while every other death is an outright murder.... I don't think Booth accidentally shot himself. I think he was shot...by the killer. I think Malcolm thinks it was accidental. This was my interpretation of it as well...which is why I think he is dead. I also think showing Malcolm being the only one with him is going to make others question later on if he did it because he wanted that money so bad. They showed him take the money after Booth died so I have no doubt that will come into play at some point...

It's not like they gave any clue that he was alive. And (at least I don't have to sound like a broken record since all the posts are gone), I just don't think they're going to have an episode where it ends up that no one really died. It seems like the final death of the episode (if there's more than one) is the definitive death of the episode (title of the episode). Booth's fits. If he's not dead (and comes back for the parts we've seen pics of), they better have a damn good explanation. Why would he fake his death in front of Malcolm just to return as if nothing is wrong?

Yep me too. High powered rifle, shot right in the main artery of the leg. Booth didn't feel it cause all the nerves were severed and his body went into shock. Booth is dead. But again no one will be looking for him since he went to bury the money...when he doesn't show they will assume that he took it. Then when it's discovered that the money is in fatty room they will jump on him for doing it. Everyone will be blaming everyone else for the others deaths... UNTIL.... they realize they are the prey. Still...No one in this friggin' town needs confession? wither the poor priest!!

If Booth didn't die, maybe he didn't even "fake" it. The website talks about his hypochondria. The discovery of Hunter's body showed how squeamish he is. He could have fainted at the site of his own blood which Malcolm mistook for dying. I just don't believe those boat explosion pics we saw in the previews are total fakes. Even if the producers replaced the actors who played Henry and Uncle Harry, that doesn't mean they overhauled and rewrote the whole plot. Just reshooting the scenes with new actors would be expensive enough. I just don't think they're going to have an episode where it ends up that no one really died. Why not? It was just a weird episode. Someone died at the end of each of the first three episodes. No one died at the end of the last episode. In fact, the whole episode 4 was strange. We had three people die one episode, two die in the first and only one in the third. There is no iron clad rule. Last Edited By: Coachocd 05/04/09 5:10 PM. Edited 1 times.

If the killer had shot Booth, like with all the other victims, there wouldn't be any doubt that Booth was murdered and Malcolm probably would have been killed as well. Making who killed Booth questionable doesn't contribute anything to the story. Booth's means of death by gun shot (and I still have some doubts that he is dead) is too mundane for this killer. All the other deaths were the product of a sick mind. The clergyman who was killed, Reverend Fain, is a minister. Priests are always addressed as Father and ministers are addressed as Reverend.

No. That she wasn't mentioned at the bachelorette party when she is one of the bride's best friends is a big hole in the script. I need to keep reminding myself this isn't Agatha Christie or Arthur Conan Doyle here. Expect the dumbed down plot with lots of inconsistencies and loose ends. If Uncle Marty can "text message" why he didn't show up, why not a note from Lucy like "I had to take Gigi to the vet in Seattle.." That gigi hasn't been spotted walking around is not a good omen for her. We'll probably see her show up mangled somewhere. Pity, as she was the best actor on the show.

The main reason that I got interested in this show is that I haven't found either Survivor Tocantins or Amazing Race 14 to be anything special.

Maybe they will explain why she hasn't been noticed later on, but you're probably right.

You say with all other victims, there isn't any doubt they were murdered. I think the opposite is true. With Kelly, it is made to look like a suicide and with EVERYBODY ELSE besides Hunter, nobody even knows they're dead.

So most likely the writers are hoping, "Oh, the killer couldn't kill anyone in this episode because he's in jail. The death this episode was an accident." I still don't know about Booth not being dead. This show ain't subtle, and I think there might have been more of an underlined clever shot/insertion if he is intended to come back. We'll see. I just don't think he was important enough for the average viewer to remember him in order to have dramatic weight later on. Yeah, the boat scene doesn't have to be a reshoot. It could be one of several takes in which one is used specifically as a decoy where they bring in one of the dead characters -used specifically in previews. We'll see -it could be cool if they do bring him back -I thought he would be one of the killers, only to be killed.

If they producers do want the killer to be a surprise, I wouldn't put it past them to have takes and still shots with dead characters in publicity photos to throw people off. If MB can go to all the trouble of a fake final 4 pic, this would be a piece of cake. Fortunately, this will probably all be settled by episode 6, or 7 at the latest, whenever the boat explodes. I just hope the killer isn't someone introduced in episode 11. That would be unfair. The screaming guy has got to be the real John Wakefield in hiding.

Actually the killer purposely made Kelly's death not look like a suicide as the coroner was able to determine that someone injected red ink into Kelly's eyes. We saw the killer murder Uncle Marty, Lucy and the Reverend, Hunter's death was set up by someone. There is no doubt on the part of the viewers that all of them were murdered. I meant the viewers not the people on the show itself.
