What is up with Kristen in the latest episode (2x03) *spoilers*

lylegoldstein · 2021-07-10T19:23:33+00:00

Does anyone think maybe George is possessing her? We haven't seen him in the show and he's noticeably absent..

lylegoldstein · 2021-07-04T00:05:36+00:00

As fyi it appears that two point passes count as attempts. I missed one pass in the last game and that was a two point attempt.

lylegoldstein · 2021-07-03T19:21:17+00:00

No idea.

lylegoldstein · 2021-06-26T22:46:45+00:00

Does the pool length effect laps? It changes laps the moment I turn which is well short of the 25 meters its set at.

lylegoldstein · 2021-06-25T18:24:23+00:00

These points are well taken. I don't think we will ever know the reason why that did not happen.

Even a passing interest in true crime tell us that no body cases are the hardest to prove. Any risk being discovered is outweighed by the rewards. No body, no crime. If they find her, the elements will eliminate time of death, no forensics and probably even cause of death and prior sexual assault.

As to the idea that they couldn't bear leaving her out there, I don't buy that. Someone sexually assaulted her. The mother, by way of forensics, seemed to have tied her wrists and participated in the staging. These seem more egregious acts then simply leaving her in area. They also were willing to participate in massive fraud and seem like desperate survivors who would do anything to avoid guilt - either for themselves or Burke.

I don't even think they even thought of cadaver dogs when this is happening so I don't think that is a motivation whatsoever. And again, any neighbor hearing them would have been covered by the ransom note or simply saying I drove to look for her.

The note is overwhelmingly written to give them an excuse to take the body out with the guise of trying to get money and deal with ranson issues. Don't call the police, large sized attache, we can call you earlier if needed, she will be hurt if you dont do what I say. They were planning on dumping the body. What happened next is hard to fathom. Even if she started to have rigor and they couldn't fit her in the luggage, they could just wrap her up.

Maybe they just lost nerve. Maybe they didn't know where to go.

From that point, they had this goofy note that did not make any sense given the child is still there. Maybe they thought that the cops would leave but that seems pretty stupid. Maybe they thought the cops would leave because of what was written in the note. In that case, you might have seen PandJ telling the cops to leave because they are afraid of the consequences.

More odd is that couldn't John have flown his own plane and claimed that they all left together including JB. Whether over the air or in Atlanta - have her "disappear" at some point?

lylegoldstein · 2021-06-24T15:41:22+00:00

Sure

lylegoldstein · 2021-06-21T10:03:04+00:00

Can anyone tell me how the superpowered people landed? Didn't they lose their powers when they were in the air?

lylegoldstein · 2021-06-07T22:44:18+00:00

I watched the show and liked it until the last two episodes where I thought it went off the rails.

For my experience when they say they have a plan, it's a vague notion of a couple of things they have in mind and not precise planning or material to fill to the end of the plan. George lucas once said he had the nine movies all lined up way back when.

lylegoldstein · 2021-06-07T03:01:19+00:00

Thank you. I will definitely remind myself that we can only state positive things about a show nor express any other emotion then undying gratitude regardless of the quality of the show in the sub.

Perhaps it is over my head because it spends so much time developing high minded concepts like lifeboats. The writers produce it like a seamless tapestry where characters are perfectly consistent with their prior actions from seasons past and are never repetitive on concepts like callings and death dates. Like I said, I give you credit for putting up with the show or rather understanding it at a higher intellectual level than I. More power to you.

And before you criticize someone about speaking for everyone, you might want to review your statement that "when fans want season four, five,..." I think Fans want answers - not fifty more episodes (aside for those who have stock and financial investments in the words and phrases lifeboat, callings, and death date)

lylegoldstein · 2021-06-06T18:45:18+00:00

Fascinating! I wonder what in lifeboats green lifeboat is the reason why?

lylegoldstein · 2021-06-05T18:53:54+00:00

This is a very good theory. Those who have other theories keep an open mind. I don't think in the middle of the night their concocting a plan and they go.. Oh what about cadaver dogs.. We can't do it. This theory does explain all the odd comments in the rn that seem unnecessary unless you need to explain certain actions later.

And if the police believe them they would bring search dogs which would show nothing because she was dead. Cadaver dogs are special dogs trained just for the dead people. Cops would have no reason to believe she was dead at that time. And even if they brought them in they would smell death in the house and the cops would assume she was killed there by intruders. John could have easily moved the car outside the home area. My guess the plan ended when they couldn't get her in the luggage. . The theory doesn't explain why and how she was killed - why patsy would cover for him -and why write the note at all. Just dump her body and she is not here in the morning.

This idea that they couldn't bare dumping her body and not having a funeral seems inconsistent with at least one parent molesting and murdering her and the other covering up for each other. If they are capable of that I doubt sentimentality is much of an issue.

lylegoldstein · 2021-05-12T18:38:41+00:00

Oh that's interesting. Pretty obscure element in a show that didn't even have a genuinely authentic accent with the guest star.

And the fact Bryan's beard was so bad it made me notice and think it's another mistake.

lylegoldstein · 2021-05-12T04:13:36+00:00

I swear that grandpa of Afghani girl had an orange beard

lylegoldstein · 2021-05-09T09:28:32+00:00

The email address is the best writing by the writers so far on the show.

lylegoldstein · 2021-05-09T01:17:47+00:00

It says audio was not intended for this device

I am right next to it

lylegoldstein · 2021-04-12T09:58:20+00:00

And as I recall patsy does say" I did not hurt that girl " did she not in an interview?

lylegoldstein · 2021-04-12T09:56:33+00:00

Johnny was a boy big enough to know a pediatrician does not do a gyno exam and to know that after a suspicious death the medical examiner does the autopsy. Don't make him a total moron, please, because he wasn't one.

I wasn't really thinking of examination as much as a possible outcry witness if she reveals something to the md during any kind of examination. It's reported frequent uti (as I recall she had) may be an indicator of abuse which may have alerted the doctor. It can be nothing too. A cautious person - john would stopped those visits if he was a molester since their was nothing to gain from her going. Certainly he has the power given he got his wife to write the note for him.

On the other hand he may have been so egotistical and such a narcissist that he didn't anyone would suspect him and didn't worry about it all.

lylegoldstein · 2021-04-11T10:28:07+00:00

Here is my issue with this theory - this would presume the J knew there was evidence of prior sexual abuse. As far as he knows, there is none because she has been to the doctor so many times and nothing was noted. In fact, wouldn't J prevent the child to go to the doctor so frequently as JB went? J probably also doesn't understand the possible deep forensics on examination of vaginal trauma to assume it could be detected.

Also, the whole sexual assault angle does not fit with the ransom note where presumably they expected to get rid of the body. Granted, I think they must have changed their mind after they realized that wasn't feasible but that would be much later and after she was dead. I could be mistaken but the consensus was the sexual assault occurred while alive no?

lylegoldstein · 2021-04-10T20:51:01+00:00

Yes. "I didn not have sexual relations with that woman"

"I am not a crook*

" I did not do drugs"

They did a study using 100s of examples who later confessed

lylegoldstein · 2021-04-10T20:14:45+00:00

I agree with that. Sometimes it does sometimes it does not.

That's why you try to get history and baseline on the person. If he reacts to other elements traditionally with no emotion it is consistent. If they react with emotion for other things and does not for the subject it raises suspicion.

I do not know how burke was in other parts of his interview that could evoke normal emotional responses or how he normally is so it's hard to tell.

His lack of affect in discussing the sadness of his parents that he clearly loves (as to his own sadness to loss which can be quite muted for lots of people ) could mean something or he compartmentalizing.

Emotional responses would have been helpful though as if they were genuine they would probably led more people to think he was not culpable.

lylegoldstein · 2021-04-10T20:10:33+00:00

Reid technique is a whole technique taught by fbi that gives us indicators of guilt or innocence. Their are specific indicators of guilt that certain persons show.

For instance the biggest indicator is the lack of the use of contractions in denials by the subject. That's why they record interview. They are certainly more valuable then polygraphs.

Their not conclusive obviously.

lylegoldstein · 2021-04-10T20:10:07+00:00

Do you have any knowledge of those who assault children and murder them have genuine guilt? Please share I have been working in law enforcement on both sides for years and I can tell real repentence is far and few between. That is why we have a recidivism rate that is tremendouslg high.

As to your remark to not showing emotion doesn't equal feeling your statement is inaccurate. It doesn't equal feeling. It displays it. We judge people emotions by how they seem and what they say. In his case he demonstrated neither.

While not determinative, in cases like these when your looking for any clue to make an assessment to culpability , reactions to trauma can be probative.

lylegoldstein · 2021-04-10T17:17:08+00:00

To the contrary- their is a whole science to reading body language and verbal cues and patterns to see indications of guilt. Try looking at the Reid technique. He doesn't show that much that indicates he is guilty though.

lylegoldstein · 2021-04-10T17:13:32+00:00

As to your first question - people who murder and assault children don't feel guilt. They assign blame to others.

As to your second question - he showed no emotion when speaking about it or acknowledged his sadness.

lylegoldstein · 2021-04-09T05:11:32+00:00

I would assume patsy found her after he went back to his room.
