I still haven't seen Part 2 yet, but I just finished Part 1 last night. I sought out the show because I absolutely love the investigators (Clemente, Richards, Fitz, and Lee), and they'd talked about it on one of their podcasts (I was listening to older episodes).
If the team was made up of people I'd never heard of and wasn't already a fan of, I might've been a bit disappointed at parts, but it could've also been the way it was edited.
For example, at the beginning when they're trying to decipher the end of the 911 call, it kind of bothered me that they seemed to land (albeit tentatively) on specific phrases and speakers without any real clarity in the recording.
If a jumble of sounds can sound exactly like, "Help me, jesus" but can <I>also</I> sound exactly like, "What did you do," depending on which phrase you go into it expecting to hear, then there shouldn't be any claims made about what was said.
They also only listened to the very end of the call for background things, when there could've been important sounds or words earlier in the call, too (like if someone was talking in the background while Paty was talking to the dispatcher).
Though I'm glad that they said at the very end of the episode that these are just ideas and people should form their own conclusions, instead of saying this is all truth.
Anyway, the other part that annoyed me (which could've been due to editing) was that it took them way too long to mention the crime scene contamination that took place. I mean, obviously this entire case was botched from the get-go, which is the fault of the cops and investigators way back then, but it bothered me that no one mentioned it until the other FBI guy was talking about getting there at 1:20pm and seeing that the body had been moved at least twice.

I have to assume this is a troll post?
With the tagline, "You've never seen more racist snowflake tears this month."
I agree, I saw him as the good guy in this. If he had made a ....something that goes "boom"... and destroyed the town that way, I would've been less on his side. But the fact that he destroyed the town in such a way that he made sure not to kill or harm anyone (besides himself at the very end), and he hit them where it would hurt the most -- their precious buildings and businesses built on the suppression of their neighbors -- to me, that showed that he was just a good guy who was fucked over way too much in a way that needed to be recognized.
I think he's more like an underdog hero than a villain. Fuck that town, I'm glad he destroyed it. The saddest part to me is that he didn't live to get fan mail lol
Man, her poor family :( I agree with the dad, Yolanda doesn't deserve a platform like that. They're just pouring salt in the wounds.
She's also in an episode of Criminal Minds, where she plays a mother whose daughter gets kidnapped while they're at a fair or parade or something.
Maybe it's because I watch more of this kind of stuff than rom-coms or other genres, but it seems like every time I see that actress, she's playing someone involved in something like this.
Her character in this show was great, too. I loved how she was able to get Marie talking by first discussing zombies.
Ah, thanks for the tip! There's gotta be some kind of spray for those things :(
I have to say that even four years ago, these are all incredibly unlikely and, dare I say, <i>unreasonable</i> "reasons".
Phone data alone would be enough to prove the lie in any of those scenarios, first off.
But secondly,
<blockquote>Maintaining social status. You can bypass being labeled as a slut by stating you were raped.</blockquote>
Even four years ago, <i>what decade do you think this is?</i> No one fears "being labeled a slut" these days, or at least not to the extent that they just go around calling everyone a rapist. As if that's even how the social narrative would go, anyway. Maybe-- <i>maaaayyybe</i> someone might lie to a partner or close group of friends, for any of your ridiculous reasons, but people don't just throw around false rape allegations to the cops all willy-nilly.
To be clear, I'm not saying that it has <i>never</i> happened. But I find that the people who are so quick to list those reasons and be defensive are usually the ones with skeletons in their closets or their hand on a coworker's thigh.
But, again, if you're not out there raping people, your phone data will likely show that.
Um, because no one deserves to be raped? As horrible as those cops were (and the many out there like them), no one deserves to be violated like that. People need to learn empathy and understanding, but rape is not the way to teach them.
"Shameless" is another one the US ripped off from the UK.
Basically what everyone else has said, but I think it also kind of sets things up for something else.
Simply saying, "Is it true that your relationship was entirely platonic?" is one thing. But, as someone else said, "Isn't it true" adds a bit of a challenge. For example, it could go something like this:
"Isn't it true that your relationship was entirely platonic?"
"Yes."
"Then why would this witness say they saw you two kissing in the breakroom?"
As far as your former coworker's way of asking questions, that might just be a linguistic idiosyncrasy. It's interesting, though.
Not my favorite line, but one that hasn't been mentioned yet but is hilarious:
When the Dougs are discussing whether or not to tell Laura (I think), or them living together or something, and Real Doug says something like, "How do you think that's gonna work? We wake up in the morning, Laura rolls over and says, 'Doug, Doug, you two better get off to work or y'all are gonna be late!'"
Just the southern accent he does with it is so funny 😂
But oh man, just about every line is gold! Michael Keaton is so perfect in all of those roles 😂
Yep, that a pretty rape-y scene that's always been uncomfortable viewing.
I'm actually rewatching "Liar Liar" at this very moment lol One of my absolute favorite movies of his.
Michael Keaton, in my opinion, is perfect for "Multiplicity" (and in general). He can be the handsome, serious, romantic lead, but this movie really showed his comedic range, I thought.
As much as I love Jim Carrey, this wouldn't have been a good role for him.
Thank you, I think this is the best explanation here. Doug wasn't thinking that far ahead, he was just thinking of the immediate benefits. That's one of the problems with people anyway. That's kind of the whole point of the movie.
If human cloning like this were actually possible today, you just know that some asshole out there would make a clone of himself just so that he wouldn't have to take out the trash while he's playing video games or something.
And that would not be an isolated case.
I do hate when movies and shows end up catering to the romantic bullshit or something, but this was also a pretty long movie as it was, so it makes sense that they couldn't hash out everything we'd have liked (or maybe it just feels long sometimes because it had so much going on).
I do absolutely love the movie, though I don't much care for the wife and those issues, but oh well. The idea would be better for a show if you're wanting to explore more of the copies.
Anytime I see an older artist in the Trending section, I have to check and make sure they haven't died.
But this is GOOD NEWS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU GODDAMN LEGEND ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, I know it wasn't the film crew woman, I just wasn't sure if it was ever clarified who it actually was. It just seemed odd that there was another white woman out there that nobody had mentioned.
I just recently started watching this show from the very beginning, and I do agree that Amanda Burton does seem to always have a bit of a smirk, often at the wrong times lol
I think she left at the middle or end of season 7, or beginning of season 8 (can't remember for sure). I'm only halfway through season 9 right now, but I cannot stand Emilia Fox so far. Honestly, though, I feel like the show / all of the other characters took a nosedive after Burton/Ryan left. I find myself constantly yelling at each of the main characters multiples times throughout episodes now, whereas before, when Burton/Ryan was still the main person, I don't recall having issues with any of them.
Wait, the guy dying from a snake bite, or the other guy taking a bite of liver, was worse than a dozen or so innocent men, women, and children being burned alive while the film crew laughed and then fucked?
