Lie to Me

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I thought Loker was the best non-natural the Lightman Group had outside of Lightman and Foster. He seems to be extremely good but still learning. A journeyman lie detector to Cal and Jillian's masters and Torres' novice, if you will.

 

[The Sage]

And after the last episode, a non-paid journeyman.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Heh, yeah. That was sweet. "We'll pay you how much you're worth--which is nothing." Go, Cal.

Another great episode. Roth is fun to watch. Torres looked scared when he was in her face.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd be bloody terrified. Lightman's a creepy dude.

Great episode, though. I was a bit disappointed to find that Lightman really was like 5 steps ahead of the serial rapist, though. It would've been nice to actually see a "dark Lightman." Maybe in a future episode.

The addition of Mekhi Phifer to the cast should be interesting. I think he's a good actor and I liked his character in the episode, but I was also curious about why he was playing what seemed to be a one-off role, since he's a fairly big name in TV. It all made sense in those last couple minutes, though. Looking forward to seeing how he gets along with the "nerds."

I actually thought Mekhi Phifer was the bad guy through most of the episode. Him going off on Lightman saying "this is our guy" had me a little curious. Overall a really great episode. Season finale next week.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I didn't suspect him. He just seemed like a passionate FBI agent who was fed up with being one step behind Jenkins and the copycat.

 

[The Sage]

Great episode. I too was hoping that Lightman was thrown off his game just once, though I doubt he planned for Foster to get attacked. This show is just awesome.

 

[KALEL114]

I agree. It really caught me off guard how good it is. I mean, seeing Roth's name attached to it was the only thing that got me to watch the pilot episode originally.

This is the God's honest truth: Lie to Me is coming back for another season.

A Fox rep wouldn't comment, but reliable sources confirm that the network has renewed the freshman drama for a 13-episode second season. And here's where things get really interesting: Shawn Ryan, the genius producer-writer behind The Shield and The Unit, is taking over as showrunner. Don't interpret that to mean The Unit is dead though. I'm told if the CBS procedural returns -- and it very well may -- Ryan will juggle both shows.

[The Sage]

Oh yes!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Why is it getting a new showrunner? I thought whoever was in charge right now was doing a fine job.

 

[The Sage]

Watching the latest episode. Crazy stuff.

Foster's separating from her husband. It affected and weakened her senses in the story, as both Torres and Lightman's daughter--picking up daddy's skills!--were able to read her. Glad that they haven't forgotten about Lightman and his ex-wife.

Another episode that shows how far Lightman's willing to go to solve a case, this time delaying to tell Torres about her boyfriend.

Good finale.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Just got done watching the finale. Really good episode. I have a feeling somewhere down the road Lightman and Foster will be getting together. It would be funny seeing them try to hide it from Torres and Loker. I'm glad it's getting a second season.

 

[KALEL114]

Can't get better than being paired with House on Monday's. Hopefully it will turn more people on to the show. Can't wait for next season.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Lie To Me is going to Monday next season?

 

[KALEL114]

Monday
8:00-9:00 PM House
9:00-10:00 PM Lie to Me

Yep with House as it's lead in.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

The second season must start during the winter or next summer then? Season 8 of 24 will start in February and run through May.

 

[KALEL114]

It was renewed for only 13 episodes. Almost every show coming back this year has been met with cutbacks.
24 will be it's mid summer replacement:

Monday

8:00-9:00 PM House
9:00-10:00 PM 24

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Season 2 starts tomorrow.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Excellent. This is the show I've been looking forward to most since last season's finale. Well, maybe Dexter as well. But Lie to Me really grabbed me in its first season. I hope its second season is just as good.

 

[The Sage]

Lie to Me time baby!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Ria Torres =

 

[The Sage]

Wow man. Lightman's daughter has it the worst! You can't lie about anything!

 

[Gilpesh]

Better watch out when Lightman starts tilting his head...
