I was right! I was right! I remember I wrote in one of your comment sections that I believe Henry to be the killer.

Too bad the show is not returning for a second season.

Hahahahaha
I hate to laugh, because if I'd even have heard of that show and bothered to watch it, I would've been highly pissed, too, but man.
The rundown you gave is so ludicrous and stupid, and it made me laugh. Sorry. :)
Murder Mystery FAIL.

abes: yeah, the sudden dissapearance of everyone on the island was just ONE of the annoying things about this show

HELL YA I WAS RIGHT!

Well, 75% right. I would have connected the father son thing eventually but I was sooo right!

HOW did i figure it?

He was guilty by ommission!

For instance, in the first episode-there is that scene with him and his bride to be. They have just finished making whoopie, she goes to the bathroom to clean up. Her cell phone rings on the night stand. And he looks at it, and it's the bride's to be ex-boyfriend and he's all non chalant. OMMISSION!

And another scene, during a party-she turns and walks away from him. Its obvious she is being all coy and playful because she is cheating on him.

BUT HE IS NOT REACTING TO THE OBVIOUS EVIDENCE THAT HIS BRIDE TO BE IS CHEATING ON HIM.

The camera lingers on him. Time and money dictates each shot in these shows. THERE IS A PURPOSE TO EACH SHOT.

Same devise is used in "Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens-the French revolutionaries-the guilty parties, are often hidden in plain site. They call no attention to themselves, not reacting.

The biggest example is the knitting woman. She knits blankets with emblems/symbols in them.

HERES THE THING! All those emblems/designs serve as a sort of code and thus a newspaper for the other revolutionaries to read. The symbols/designs she knits into the blankets she knits instructs the revolutionaries on what to do, where to go, etc.

The entire time though, she is sitting right in the middle of everything! Only we (the reader) are not told what she is doing. Dickens JUST points her out several times. Saying she is 'just knitting'.

It's the fact she is called attention to, several times in fact-this gives away the secret of her role in the revolution.

I figured she was a huge part of the revolution RIGHT AWAY.

Guilt by ommission I SAY!!!

so yeah. i was right.

go me!

I HAVE NOT READ YOUR POST OR THE COMMENTS OR SEEN THE SHOW BEYOND THE FIRST EPISODE.

BUT

I knew who the killer was and I say it was the 'groom to be'.

now! let me read your post and find out that I was correct. ;)

i also bought into it and gave it a chance only to be disappointed. sort of like charlie brown trying to kick the football the lucy promised not to move. the show took way to many liberties. ie...where did all the people on the island go during the last 3 weeks when the wedding party was running around looking for help. the premise of the groom killing everyone so that they could be together was utterly rediculous...i was disappointed
