Anyone else been watching? I’m liking the show, but if there’s already a thread somewhere I’ve missed it.
I am enjoying it also- I like Patricia Arquette. Last night’s episode was interesting. You get used to the whole “I have a dream, WOW it fits with this new case, and now it’s solved!” course and they changed it up.
Did she ever take the pregnancy test?
Yes and the results were negative.
I thought of an interesting twist:
The killer to be decides that God has chosen him to kill; was he not told so by a prophet?
Well, I thought she did take the test and that her sitting there drinking the wine was the sign to her husband that she was not pregnant. However, plenty of pregnant women have a glass of wine, so who knows?
I loved last night’s where she told that guy he was the devil, and up until she said that he still looked like Mr. Nice Guy. But, it’s like he heard what she said and he knew it was true.
Next week’s looks good too.
Also, don’t you think it’s insulting that she’s had all these dreams come true and yet her asshead husband still acts like it’s all in her head. She’s solved cases and the D.A. still acts like she’s a lunatic.
What’s it going to take for them to believe her?
But when he sat down, he took a drink of wine then moved the glass out of her reach. That’s what had me wondering. Any part where she said “I’m not pregnant” was missed in the usual household brouhaha of getting LilMiss to go to sleep.
I like the relationship she has with her husband, as difficult as it seems. He pulls no punches with her, such as last weeks’ episode.
She took a sip of the wine though, as he was walking in. Given their prior conversation about how she wanted a drink if she wasn’t pregnant, and his subsequent conversation (post-wine sip) about how it was all “OK, we’ve got three great kids” or whatever it was, after a long sigh, wiile rubbing her legs, I think it’s safe to assume there’s no more small mediums on the way. 
I know this is a silly thing to have bug me, but I was SO irritated with the “I have to wait 'till the morning to use the test” plot device that they kept bringing up. Um. No, you don’t. Not with the one-steps. Any woman who’s given birth three times in the past 10 years could be presumed to have read the directions in the pregnancy test box, which clearly state you can use any time of the day urine. Especially if you’re already a week late!
Last night’s show was totally not what I was expecting from the promos – lots of good twists, and all of them felt legit. I think I’m about to move from “Okay, what’s on at 10, yeah, that show’s okay” to “Woo hoo! It’s Medium night!”
The Future Vision she received was a good twist, however, the pregnancy test killed me…I’m done.
I stayed with the first three episodes, and haven’t really felt like seeing any more of 'em. Patricia Arquette is very good (I just loved her in “True Romance”), but this show just doesn’t grab me and keep me. I guess I am kinda jaded from too many crime shows, too much “X-Files,” a big dose of “Carnivàle.” I don’t find “Medium” to be compulsively watchable. And if I don’t feel compelled, I don’t tend to watch.
I was really pumped to see the show from the initial promos, and I caught the first episode and then the one last night. In my book, it is 0 for 2. The first one was, I thought, really silly, with the whole dismissal and testing bit in Texas, the part where everyone comes carrying shovels to the house, but nobody is prepared with a warrant to dig, and the hurricane that somehow blows away a body buried in the ground??? Oh, and she guesses right about a kiss that is so upsetting to a prisoner that he starts talking?
Last night’s ep… well, she foresees these things, and is left with tormenting a 14 year old Catholic school girl and a guy who she is going to intimidate into being a good potential serial murderer. I found this outcome slightly unsatisfactory.
I’m willing to give it one more go, but only one. I also find Patricia Arquette to be somehow unsuited to the role. Either her acting is just not too great, or the writing is bad, or something. Maybe the next one will really nail it!
I’m probably going to regret asking this, but on what is the tagline “based on a true story”, er, based?
Allison Dubois is a real person.
What I didn’t get about that episode is why she didn’t tell the DA and her husband that she was seeing the future. Instead she said “yeah, it’s all in my head.” Not a good way to get people to believe anything else you tell them at a later time. Heck, she already talks to dead people is predicting future events too much of a stretch for them to believe on top of that?
When I saw the series advertised, I thought it would be crap, just like all the other crap that seems to be on. But I watched last week’s episode and liked it, and now I"m trying to watch it every week. I wish I could’ve gotten in on the first show, but I guess I’ll have to wait until repeats.
