And yes, expecting Allison not to do the whole waking up from a dream schtick every epi would be like expecting a Quantum Leap without an "oh boy...."
I love this show because it's the most realistic unrealistic show on t.v. That's its charm.

You would think by now, when she shared her visions they would be all over them... but every week we have Joe, Lee & Devalos doubting her. |

I think they're actually topping Ghost Whisperer in viewers and demo ratings now. Still a heavily underrated show in terms of quality and yeah so what if Allison is a little slow on the uptake each week, she doesn't get much sleep either. When this show is on it's as good as networks ever get. |

Then why watch it? Just stop watching it and be done.
Just cuz you don't like it doesn't mean it is a piece of shit. I think Glee and Mad Men suck, but that doesn't mean they are a piece of shit. Jeez. Get some perspective. |

Catching up...
I love love LOVE haunted SUV eppies! Ali has quite the history with the Flying Dutchman by GM/Honda/Hyundai. Poor Ariel. The family gift seems to be getting really active on her. Slimeball bomber jerk. We've seen bad cops, but this ffuker takes the cake. I was happy that overmedicate mommy did not turn out to be his accomplice though. On the Ariel boyfriend ep, something was off -- was the kid possessed by his daddy? Bad ep, first bad ep in quite some time. |

I think they were going for the idea that he "taught" the baby everything he knew by talking to him (mechanic stuff, etc) and also he called him by the name he wanted, which was his own name. Hence all the information in the guy's head. Was a disappointing ep for sure. |

The only good thing about the episode was a pantless Joe.
YUMMY! Oh, and it was nice to see a progression in Ariel and Ali's relationship with Ariel going to her right away after she had her vision. |

Ariel's Boyfriend was such a horrible actor and ugh @ Ariel this episode...if I was her and my mom was Alison then my ass would be away from that dude the
second I heard the word murderer.
I liked the Bridgette/Joe parts. |

I love this show because it's the most realistic unrealistic show on t.v. That's its charm.Agree regarding the family gatherings and relationships, but Alison's involvement in cases (like kidnapping the baby) were wildly unrealistic, even within the world the writers/producers have created. As long as I'm here - really liked this week's ep (the future's so bright) - nice to be kept guessing where the story would end - until Tom Verica's character was introduced and then the show's obvious endings of late returned. |

^I have to agree, as soon as I saw this cop, I knew exactly what was going to happen to the drug dealer. I was thinking right away that he was a corrupt cop.
And then when he came asking for the notebook, I had a feeling he was going to kill him just to get a hold of it.
But it was still a good episode. And I love how Joe gets a hands up just for having the same stress problems as his boss (not to mention keeping himself organized). I got that feel good feeling from seeing his boss wanting to know more about Joe's solar project. It's like validating good people who work hard. |

I loved the concept of the ep eversomuch -- the numbers on the head thing was the kind of psychic misadventures that Ali used to experience regularly.
Brilliant idea and wonderfully executed.
Plus how much fun was it having Joe's dad open? But then... ANOTHER bad cop? These bastards are becoming too much of a crutch. |

Okay, I was watching an episode of Medium a few weeks ago, and I saw a guy I went to theater school with in it. His name was Brian. I went out for the night
soon after so I don't know what the plot was. I remembered it tonight, and went to go look online to see the full episode but I don't know what the
character is, and his name isn't pulling up any scenes. Anyone know who I'm talking about? He's about thirty and has brown hair, and looks pretty
average. Anyone know what character he's playing? CBS only has up the latest episode and he's not in it.

Is it Brian Avers? He's been in 4 episodes this season. You can find him on imdb.com and I think he's pretty cute.

Yes, him! I found the imdb entry, but it doesn't tell me what role he played. I just want to check our his scenes and not, you know, watch the whole four
episodes. I'm like three quarters of the way through this "Baby Fever" episode, and no luck so far. Ah well, I'll keep looking. I'm just
happy that someone I knew actually made it in the business.

New episode is on tonight!
Bad news for Leno, everyone! His 10pm is being cancelled and he will go back to his 11:35pm slot as of Feb 1st, then go on hiatus until after the Olympics and continue his old slot. It's going to be half an hour so Conan can keep his Tonight Show. The idiot had it coming! So basically, they screw alot of really good 10pm dramas (granted I never saw Southland, but I heard it was really good), and now he's set to screw over Conan. Even though I really love Medium, I feel for those other 10pm slots.
