So, we’ve reached the end of another season of Medium, which is really sad since we aren’t scheduled to see new episodes until 2008!! However, even though it is the last episode of the season, I can’t wait to see what Allison does about that sneaky reporter. I’m positive she will come out on top by the end of the episode – solving the crime, proving that she may be a medium, but she’s a good one and generally putting things in order. They won’t make us wait six months to find out how she deals with the shock of being “outed” will they? Well, we’ll find out soon.
Now, since this is a wrap up party for this season, I’m going all out. I’ve got a tray of assorted crackers, my grandmother’s cheese crab dip (really delicious) and the chocolate chip pound cake a friend gave me the recipe for. For drinks, I’ve got Dreamsicles in honor of the dreams that get Allison into so much trouble (vodka, triple sec, cream and orange juice) and a nice dry Riesling.
Well, lets get on with the party. Remember, if you are not an East Coaster, look for the spoiler warning in the comments. I’ll post a stop reading and a start reading warning so you can enjoy the show and still participate in the open mic night without having the surprises ruined.
There’s Allison’s spunk! I love how she makes her entrance nad exit in front of the “new DA”.
Where was half of the preview? Where’s the gun part? Oh well, I still loved this episode. And I think everything’s going to be fine now that everyone knows that “crazy Allison” is once again, as always, right!! Nite nite my friends.
I wanted Debra to be fine, and correct her mistakes and what she did to Allison.
Good night, Dorothy!
Geez, I really need to get an east coast NBC feed.
I have a feeling a dream sequence was cut, or they changed the ending? I think it may have originally been a 2 hour season finale….the killer chasing Debra with a mask on, Allsion shooting a gun, etc. That was justa dream that didn;t make the show’s final cut, and that NBC should NOT have used in the previews at all.
Brett, you’re on the West Coast, too, eh? We just got an east coast feed, so I was able to watch the show at 7pm. Not sure I could have waited until 10!
I just watched the show now. I was so psyched to watch it last night, and fell asleep at the tail end of Criminal minds and woke up in the middle of Medium.
Thank god for http://www.nbc, I just watched the show now and looked through the comments on here.
As I started to read these comments I said to myself where was the big bang, and that reminded me of the coming attractions last week which showed Allison firing a gun. Then I said to myself, what happene to that scene. Was starting to doubt my memory, when I saw a comment from Dorothy asking the same question. whew!!!
I have to admit I am surprised they outed Allison, but I guess it opens up alot of ideas for next season with the affect the outing will have on her family.
I loved Allison’s closing scene with the new DA. You have admit she does have spunk!!!
So wheres the big bang???
I had one more thought before I went to bed last night. Despite all she did while alive, at least Debra pulled through with one redeaming act at the end by sending Allison the message. That was the least she could do after causing all the chaos in the first place.
I LOVED this episode, but I have to agree it was a little disappointing with the way NBC promoted it. I was expecting to see a lot more action, like the killer going after Debra (the guy in the mask) and Allison going after the killer (with the gun). I have to wonder if they changed the story or if there’s more to it. Either way, it was a great episode. Excellent work, as always, by the cast and creative team. I was surprised to find out that Walter Paxton really was the killer (I don’t know why that surprised me but it did). And to find out that he was working with a lover and then he killed her was a shocker. I LOVED Allison’s final scene. That was a perfect ending to that episode. “You can thank me later.” How funny was that? And when she told Joe “The whole world has fallen off its axis.” I howled. It was great. A great ending to another fantastic season.
On another note, I noticed that total viewership was down for this week’s episode and it occurred to me that NBC did NOTHING to promote the SEASON FINALE of this show as they have for Scrubs, The Office, ER and Heroes. Does anyone agree with me?
Dawn, I agree with you. Sometimes I just sat and watched the commercials in the evening just to see if NBC even bothered to show any for Medium. It is horrible how they promote–or rather, don’t promote this show. I’ve said it before, but it seems to me like they don’t have much faith or appreciation for this show. They aren’t putting much effort into helping it’s success, as though they’re just binding their time waiting for the right reason to cancel it without feeling guilty. Does this show not deserve the attention that Heroes or some of the other lame comedies do?
At least a big three- nighter season finale would deserve some fireworks and whistles!
Dorothy, you are right as usual. If not fireworks or whistles at least the big BANG they led us to believe would happen.
Dawn, where were you on Wed night? Missed you and shame on you, Tom for falling asleep!
I’m late posting – had to go see the Rheumatologist yesterday – it’s a four hour round trip, plus the time I was there, which was FOREVER – I had to get up at 3:45 AM to make my financial appointment at 7 AM. Needless to say, I was beat when I finally got back home – silly me – thought I might actually go to work for a few hours.
I thought they really made Scanlon be a big butt head in this ep – it’s that damn DiNovi – she’s a bad influence – all worried about image all the time – Scanlon normally wouldn’t give a rat’s ass what anyone else thought as long as he thought he was right and on the right track. Remember the first ep where we saw Scanlon and he met Allison? He’d been investigating his sister’s death for 2 years even though everyone else thought he was crazy – Allison helped him solve it. I really don’t think Scanlon would ever dodge Allison’s phone calls.
I thought the ending was rather abrupt. Where the heck were the scenes they’d been showing us in the previews? The masked man chasing Debra and Allison shooting a gun?
I don’t know! It reminded EXACTLY of the killer who had the same psychic dreams as Allison. You know, the one that escaped from jail?
I wish they were going to end it like that, but that Allison would actually DO something, instead of sitting there with something, and screaming helplessly. But they like to use that “cornering” shot, where she has something and gets backed up to a door haha.
Late, Later, me ^_^
I’m not in the US and thought it might be a good idea to save the 3 episodes & watch them all together.
Which I just did
and what can I say ??
I’m not disappointed, I’m glad Joe and Allison are good again, I didn’t like Debra (or Neve’s haircut) much, but in the end she did what she could to help.
I’m sure Allison will get her job back, and Joe will find an even better one… after some time.
At the moment I’m just wondering where they’re going with the new DA.
hmm, anyways,
hi, I’m Angie, and just thought I’d say hello
I’d love to participate more in Open Mic Night, but there’s always the fear of spoilers … which is why I don’t in the end
Welcome Angie! We welcome you to participate any time you can! I cannot participate live during the shows, but I can read the posts that are being posted and then I comment the next day. You will find people come and go all the time – there’s lots of great posts to look in on.
I have the whole season on tape now and I’ve been meaning to go back and watch the last 3 together myself, but just had too much yard work to do this weekend to do that. Maybe that will be my project Wednesday night since there is no new or old Medium scheduled!
Hi Angie,
On the newer open mic nights, I’ve been putting up a spoiler alert after this point message for the different time zones. That way, you can read the chit chat before the show starts and then stop reading when you see the warning that there are spoilers ahead. I hope that will help more people to participate in the fun.
Hi, Angie, and welcome. Always happy to have more Medium fans to talk to.
Betty, I know I missed Open Mic Nite this week, but I was working. And since you have already read my comments, I won’t repeat them, except to say that, while the ending of this episode was a little disappointing, especially after the previews, I thought this ep( the whole arc) was excellent. I especially loved the way the writers used the “dead” phone ring as a way for Debra to show Allison what happened. That was REALLY creepy. Another thing Medium’s writers do so well. And that exit line of Allison’s was CLASSIC. I LOVED it.
“You can thank me later.”
Can’t wait till next season. Like you, Betty, I have all of the episodes either on tape or on my dvr. It’s gonna be a long wait until January. What will we do until then?
Dawn, there are repeats, too – maybe Katelyn will be willing to do something for repeats – perhaps we will pick up some new fans who stumble across the show by accident – I know it won’t be because of any fantastic publicity from NBC.
Thank God for the Lifetime network – they are showing Medium every Saturday night.
On May 30 one of most everyone’s favorite eps is coming up on NBC- Better Off Dead – that one had a nice sweet ending. I’ll be watching. In fact, I still need to go back and watch the season ending episode arc – all 3 eps at one sitting.
Katelyn, I don’t know if you are in for this or not, but at another site I used to frequent for another of my all time favorite shows (Scarecrow & Mrs King) someone would start a paragraph of a fictional story using the characters from our favorite show (each person must remember to keep the lines consistent with their character – use their speech patterns, etc) Each person writes one paragraph and then the next person has to pick up the story where the person before him/her left off. It’s fun to see where people go with the story or get out of sticky situations. I’m sure a lot of us would like to write an exit story for Di Novi! We could at least fictionally get rid of her! (Again, I stress, I’m sure Tina DiJoseph is a sweet and kind person, she’s just desperately in need of acting lessons.)
Hi Betty,
I was planning to still offer open mics on repeat episodes so we could talk about lines we missed, fashion trends (or lack thereof), etc.
The interactive fan fiction idea is a wonderful one and I’d be delighted to start a post for it.
Thanks Katelyn! That’s great – it’s going to be a long empty time before Medium comes back if they hold to that January thing.
We need to keep everyone interested – I would hate to see Medium lose a lot of audience because of the long break.
I can’t wait for the repeats! It seems like it would be boring to watch the episodes that you’ve seen, but since you’ve already seen it, you can usually pick things you didn’t find in the first running.
Whenever I would watch a Medium episode, I’d just be so excited then I would have to call my Mom every 10 minutes to get in and watch Medium (Seeing as she likes to do dishes, or she’s gotten used to it by now). So anyways, I’m more focused on watching the episode and figuring out the crime or mystery, but when it’s repeats, you know what’s coming up (Or may have forgotten, which is another good thing) so you can usually pay attention to the smaller details. At least, that’s what I do!
