Executive Producer Kelsey Grammer shows up tonight as Death or the Angel of Death or Death Incarnate or something.
That’s all for now. See you later.
Bumpin’.
Ohhhhh, Mr Grammer was at his smugly delicious best. I got the feeling that he really enjoyed playing Mr. Death and did a darn good job, too. My only issue is something that was brought up in the last Medium thread; her husband just refused to take her death dream seriously. After all they’ve been through and he’s still denying her powers.
Also, what did you all think about insurance guy meeting death and he looked just like him? Not a big deal, I guess, but it kind of confused me.
Did she really dream of Death, or did whatever power that sends things to her cause her to dream of the insurance guy? Did Death really come to the guy i the shower, or did she just interpret her “senses” that way?
I wish they would be more specific about her powers or senses or whatever.
In the first shows it was the dead person speaking to her, like a medium. Now she seems to have various and sundry supernatural powers or senses that operate to suit the writer’s story line. :mad:
If I saw that death looked exactly like me…That would kill me on the spot.
The crooked insurance agent’s death was profoundly unsatisfying. I mean, he dies for no reason but that he deserves to, and that the AoD himself is on the scene. Talk about a fuckin’ deus ex machina! News flash to writers: The world don’t work that way. What goes around, generally speaking, does not come around.
Actually, I think it kind of does, just not in that literal, “tit for tat” way. I like the way carnivorousplant interpreted it; that was just the way Allison imagined it. But I also agree that it was unsatisfying; I would have liked to see something a little more, I dunno, dramatic or with a little more twist, maybe.
It would give me encouragement to try and talk my way out of it. 
I thought it was a good episode, but not worth the uber-hype it was given.
Well, I think Allison’s dream at the end falls under Freudian wish-fulfillment, but it was a cute ending for the show.
I agree the ending was a bit cheap – but I thought it was fun. Grammar was great in the role (though not overly well written–IMHO).
I’m going to address something upthread – namely, Allison’s constantly changing powers. They really need to pull it in and clearly define the nature of it rather than have it changing wildly from week to week. Maybe they moved away from talking to the dead because of “Ghost Whisperer” (a much weaker show – again IMHO), but they really need to come down somewhere or she’s going to end up like the Weisenger Superman and develop just whatever and like ST:TOS just use whatever is convenient from week to week. Plus, by now, people should have a little more faith in her (though their constantly inspecific nature does lead to not knowing when to take her seriously or not).
I hope they get better with this.
So, if the insurance agent is dead, does that mean Kelsey Grammer can or can’t continue to play Death in future episodes?
This seems to be a major plot device or at least plot aspect of the program.
