In this finale (?), our gal has a vision of what her life would have been like with a completely different family or lack thereof.
That’s all…Be back later.
I started watching, fell asleep shortly after it came back after the credits, woke up when she was sobbing on the bed and Joe said something to her about her dreams. I woke up when Leno was coming on. (I had a low-grade migraine all day yesterday, and was about to die - usually I’m good till midnight for TV-watching)
Good thing I taped it. I’m just here to quickly skim the Board and read some email, then I’m going to go watch it while I fold a mountain of laundry.
Now she does time travel and parallel universes. :rolleyes:
That woman just cannot cry convincingly.
Maybe if they’d told her she couldn’t wash her hair again. 
I hope this is a good place to mention something I just observed last night. Jake Weber’s face is much weaker in a fully lit straight-on shot than it is in those shots that allow for a 3/4 view or one with one side in shadow. It got me to wondering how many other faces are asymmetrical enough that such tricks must be done on them.
(Elsewhere in another current thread somebody mentioned how Mariah Carey and others are always shown from a preferred side so this may have been on my subconscious mind during those scenes where he was the math professor being interviewed as a potential expert witness.)
Later in the show when he was back to being Allison’s husband they reverted to the half-lit face thing again and his face was much stronger. I’m just amazed at how much difference there was.
Anybody else notice that?
Interesting observation. I do remember thinking during the scene when he was in lawyer-Allison’s office that he looked unusually “wussy” (that’s a technical term ;)). Thanks for pointing out the effect of the shot.
Speaking of observations, I also noticed that the music was unusually forgrounded in certain scenes, and began to wonder…
I taught a TV music class last year, and one of the projects we did was to look at WB shows to see if there was a correlation between the prominence, loudness, or clarity, etc. of a given song (and its lyrics) and whether it was later featured as part of a CD for purchase at the conclusion of the show. There was, in fact, a pretty strong correlation.
…sure enough, I was not surprised to see the Dixie Chicks CD being promoted at the end of this episode of the Medium.
Notice, they don’t promoted personal hygiene products.
Dammit, I can’t help it. They all look like they need to bathe. Did you notice how her alter ego looked clean for a change?
That’s because she didn’t have 3 kids.
That’s for sure.
It was all right but really not strong enough for a season finale.
Good point, Wile E.
Talk about fighting ignorance!
If I was Allison, I would have gone to the D.A. and told him “I had a ‘what-if’ dream, and it wasn’t pretty. You’ve got to make sure all your convictions are appeal-proof if I’m ever outed”.
Yes, but one of the rules of the show is that they don’t believe in her dreams, no matter how many hundred times the dreams have been right.
I think it’s odd that she calls her boss “Mr. D.A.” and he calls her by her first name.
Don’t you think by this point she’d be able to call him by his first name? Or at least “Mr. Devalos”?
