I just realized Jimmy also knew about the Sherriff's plans to try to meet Abby at his house. Now I think it is Jimmy who put the dead raccoon in the
church to get Sherriff out of his house when Abby would be going to his house.
Jimmy and Henry are my 2 prime suspects but i am now leaning way more towards Juimmy. |

Why would planting a raccoon insure that the Sheriff would be called away when Abby shows up? There would be no way to know who would discover it or when and
if they would call the police or simply clean it up themselves (note, the Sheriff wasn't called when Henry found a deer head in his bathtub...).

I remember that and thought dammit this movie sucks compared to the original. Spielberg was just punching his ticket to let the studio make Schindler's
List.
Medium by the way regularly makes horrible things happen to children. We're constantly debating whether this is gratuitous or adds to the realism of the horror in that thread. Note how they tossed in an offhand remark that "Lucy's gone -- she left." I wonder how anyone got that idea. I like the idea that the battering ram log was there to keep anyone from finding her pit, but wouldn't there be easier ways of protecting it? What if whoever hit the trip wire was on foot? It would've missed them. Roger Ebert has a special category of derision for films that do this kind of stuff, in which the killer has to know well in advance that his victim will have to be in exactly the right place at the right time for the plan to work, despite the fact that the victims don't know where they're going to be at that time -- in this instance, the bike trip didn't get planned until early that morning, whereas the killer would've had to have built the battering ram at least the day before. |

This show is still so ridiculous EVERYONE on it sucks at acting. I think the two best actors are whoever plays JD and Maggie. <3 At least we finally got
some mention of Lucy and GiGi though.
Losing Mr. Wellington is awful. Maybe we got lucky and it hit Trish instead! And Chloe was INV again, hopefully she won't get dead.

Speaking of big dogs, how in the hell could Wellington and Trish be hiding out in that truck bed (at least I think that's what it was) and not hear it when a 90 lb. dog jumps up on the roof? Lol, I said the same thing. They definitely would have heard that. Absolutely ridiculous, just like almost everything else on this show. |

Drew B wrote: Yeah, you're totally right. Sully isn't so bad at acting either.. He is also pretty hot, although at times he looks like Spencer Pratt *puke* And Henry's acting is awful AS USUAL. I thought he sucked on Ugly Betty, but he is way worse on this. And that hair? Who decided that looked good on him? Ew. |

Contrary to popular belief, the token black is rarely killed early in a film. Not saying it doesnt happen, just sayin it doesnt happen as early as people think

everyone has been debating on who set up the log trap and I agree that it was probably the burned man. When Trish and her dad originally veer off the path to
follow Gigi we see a no trespassing sign, and the log trap is probably just a way of ensuring that no one gets any farther than that.

also, isn't it odd in the writing that Trish and her dad would not tell the police that a man unleased an attack dog on them and also a huge battering ram
is set up on the island to harm people?
Odd might be a stretch with this show though. |

They both need to survive and live happily ever after. I'll be so much happy if they are the killers too. ^_^ |

Yes. It's also a bridal party that doesn't seem concerned that seven people are missing. Are they all on Xanax or something? |

Here's the guy with the dog (transcribed from the Harper's Globe news archives).
Cole Harkin, one of five survivors of the Wakefield murders, returns home today after two and a half months of recovery at the Washington Pacific University Burn Center. Harkin, a veteran of the Harper's Island Sheriff's Department, confronted John Wakefield with Deputy Joshua Aiken at the Harper's Island Marina the day of the murders. Wakefield proceeded to assault the Deputies, knocking them unconscious, and setting their bodies on fire with the explosion of several boats at the marina. Aiken and Harkin were attended to immediately by Sheriff Charlie Mills and local youth, Henry Dunn. Aiken was unfortunately pronounced dead on the docks, but Harkin was airlifted to the University for treatment at the Burn Center. I've thought that Wakefield might have been framed this whole time. Because of how Cullen was strung up in the tree of Woe, Wakefield either had a partner who was never caught or there were two killers and Wakefield was framed. With Henry arriving first on the scene to help the Sheriff with the wounded, perhaps he was helping out his partner in crime? Harkin is also the guy seen with the leash in Episode one, and perhaps we see him watching his old partner in crime return?
Also, since the site manager stated that the killer in Harper's Island is the same one in Harper's Globe, it fits with the theories that Harkin is actually Cheshire Cat and Robin freaked out at seeing his burned face. And perhaps Booth was Henry's new partner in crime for the first five murders. The other theory is if Harkin wasn't the original killer he knows Wakefield didn't do it or didn't do it alone and for some reason he's
never said anything. Or seeing Henry made him recall who did. There is something significant though about Harkin seeing Henry and/or Abby in Episode 1.

I real life, most of us are behaving as smart and logical as we can. I don't believe the log was a murder trap. I do believe it was a trip wire meant to keep people out. The dog's death was totally unbelievable, but not because of the dog. Is it weird that the two dogs are better actors than any of the humans in the series? Although I do like the actors playing Cal, Chloe and Robin Matthews. |

If Henry is the murderer, why would he go all the way to the church and walk in calling for the priest? Nobody saw him do that, so it would have been unnecessarily wasted time, which he could have spent going to Ace Hardware to buy death trap supplies. Or wiping his fingerprints off stuff. You know, overly-elaborate murderer type things. BUSY BUSY |

Why would Henry ask JD about Uncle Marty, send himself the text, look for the reverend, etc? I have a hard time buying the "if he looks concerned now, no one will suspect him later" argument. And, with the reverend's remains being found, that might eliminate the dead wedding suggestion. |
