'Medium's' Sister Act

You guys know that any episode of Medium that features one Det. Scanlon in an extended role is a welcome outing here at PTR. Besides being tremendous eye candy, he sorta oozes sexiness. Apparently, women aren't the only ones picking up on it either. So, what happens when you put Det. Hottie in an elevator with a successful publisher, "an extra ticket to the Suns game," and an invitation to dinner and some hoops? A recipe for a rock-solid arrest. Scanlon is so hot, he's causing murderers to come forward without them even realizing what they just confessed to and to whom they did the confessing. That's some powerful sexy! As Scanlon was about to enter that elevator and the case was circling the bowl, I glanced up at the clock and I thought for a brief moment, "NOT ANOTHER 2-PARTER!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!" Alas, we were spared from a third 2-parter in a row thanks to the world's most costly pick up line.


I'm not really sure why Allison was seeing her sister the Cougar author as the murderer when it was her publisher (other than to feature the fabulous Rosanna Arquette more prominently, which if this is the case, no complaints here. All of the Arquettes are quite fabulous, so this special 2-fer was several levels of awesome). Maybe it was just a case of the facts getting jumbled in her head or maybe the writers didn't want Rosanna (who, by the way, was the inspiration for one of the most fantastic 80s tunes EVER!! Toto's "Rosanna," as in "I bless the rains down in Africa" Toto) to be a killer. Of course, I spent most of the hour trying to distinguish features that hint toward Patricia and Rosanna being related (I finally decided they basically have the same eyes -- that's it), so I may have missed a thing or two here and there. In the end, I wasn't sure which was more awesome: Rosanna starring alongside her sister or the fact that the second victim was killed with a nail gun leading to an endless litany of "nailed" jokes. But I digress. Medium claims another victory sorta like Devalos will come election day after that kickass pre-emptive strike.

Ah, Toto. I love karaoke-ing Africa! It's so freaking dramatic.

I think Allison was seeing Rosanna doing the murders because she was the one who wrote the books. That's how this show keeps it clever.
