MEDIUM 1.4 FAQ
What’s it called?
“Night of the Wolf.”
Who’s responsible?
Teleplay is credited to the great Rene Echevarria (“Deep Space Nine,” “Now and Again,” “Dark Angel,” “The 4400”).
What does TV Guide say?
“Allison believes an eyewitness (Anahi Bustillos) is lying about a killer’s description; Allison’s younger daughter makes a new friend at school, but complications ensue.”
Is Allison right about the lying?
She is!
The big news?
The series rebounds extremely well this week following last week’s subpar installment about the experiment-nutty photographer.
The bigger news?
Anahi Bustillos, who plays the witness, can be found nowhere on IMDb, but she’s insanely hot. Is this her first screen-acting gig?
The biggest news?
Revolves around those “complications” that ensue. Allison learns this week that her youngest has powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. (Bobby, the new friend at school? Not all that alive!)
What’s good?
Tiny Maria Lark, adorable and hilarious as first-grader Bridget DuBois. Lark’s first-act window-negotiation with Patricia Arquette generally, and Arquette’s goodbye kiss in particular. Old Wayne’s reaction when Allison describes her husband’s complexion. “I think it’s Matt Damon.” NBC hasn’t aired a bad episode of “Medium” yet, but creator Glenn Gordon Caron’s shows always seem to shine when they maintain a firm focus on the regulars. That’s certainly the case tonight.
What’s not so good?
Utilizing an actual red riding hood during the big action climax? Goofy!
How does it end, spoiler-boy?
With a conversation about spotted giraffes.

My biggest problem with this show: Don't tell me it's Phoenix,
by chastain-86
For those of you that don't know, the Patricia Arquette character is based on a real-life medium here in the Phoenix/Tempe area who goes by the name Miss Rita. Residents of Tempe and students at ASU know this woman well -- you can't miss her house off University Drive, it has a gigantic sign out front -- and the Gin Blossoms even sang about her in one of their tunes. Everything about the character, including the setting, is supposed to be in Phoenix and the surrounding area. SO WHY IN THE HELL HAVE THEY NOT AT LEAST SHOT EXTERIORS IN PHOENIX? It's insulting, to say the least -- Phoenix is only a 5 hour drive from San Diego, where they probably film this thing, and a literal puddle-jump in a plane. So in case any executives are reading this -- take some pride in your show. If you tell people it's Phoenix, then maybe it should LOOK like Phoenix. Show me some landmarks, or at least a farking cactus. Don't show me what you think Phoenix looks like. Christ almighty, do you think we're idiots?
-
Kill yourself. Not only are you whining about something totally inconsequential, but you referenced the fucking lame Gin Blossoms.

Inconsequential? They mention Phoenix or the Maricopa Cty. in e
by chastain-86
And kill yourself for using OMG in polite conversation. What are you, 13? Complete sentences, child, or not at all. To get back to my point, the city is as much a character as the people in it. Either let it drop, and never reference Phoenix again, or shoot some exteriors in your city of origin. It's lazy filmmaking.
-
...completely true. They not only actually film the show here, but almost every time you see background exteriors, it's my neighborhood. Having lived in Arizona, the difference isn't huge, but noticeable.
-
Shut up.
-
it is lazy. It wouldn't be that hard to show some establishing exteriors of Phoenix. Hell, you wouldn't even have to send anybody down there. Just use stock footage. I like the way they did in the Vancouver X-Files episodes. Alias is pretty good with establishing a setting with stock footage too.

I couldn't find anything about the actress either, however . . .
by harrisonsdad
. . . at one point last year, she wanted to know what her name meant and asked about it on the "Behind the Name" message board. http://www.behindthename.com/bb_gen/arcview.php?id=35086
Yeah, I know it's a strange post, but there's literally nothing else about this actress anywhere . . . YET. -
I live around Seattle. Tons of shows that were supposedly set in Seattle (for instance the 4400, Dead Like Me, John Doe, Dark Angel) are always shot in Vancouver. Seattle is only about three hours south of Vancouver and they hardly ever both to do any location filming for those shows here. It happens so often that Television Without Pity actually has started to call the faux Seattle "Seacouver" in their recaps. So I feel no pity that Phoenix hasn't been featured on screen in Medium yet.
-
OMG, the husband is irritating. In every scene, he has a dumbfounded expression. Patricia at least know how to give decent reaction shots, but this guy acts amazed that any other person actually speaks english. He makes the show unwatchable.

by snow scorpion
These two rarely laugh or even smile together. Why did they get married in the first place?
They are becoming two depressing people to watch. -
Jack Bauer demands respect. You've got ten minutes before he leads the Marines in here to clear out this craptacular show's talkback and claim it for his own!
-
It's what sets this show apart. Drop that, and it's just another psychic crime solver yarn. I like what it is so far, and I hope if they change anything it is not the domestic part of the show, as that's the part I am most happy with.
-
C'mon Herc, where's the 24 talkback? Last night was the best episode of the season. Tell me you didn't get a hard-on watching Jack single handedly taking down the terrorist compound! And then we got the Secretary of defense ordering more torture for his hippy son, Psycho Muslim Dad puts a hit out on his son, and we get a hint of what the real threat of the day is. Five star stuff, I tell ya. Oh, and what is it with black women on 24? Do they all have to be total bitches and traitors? Hmm.

Medium is on a real professional twenty-four hours a day television network. 24 is on Fox.
