I really got irked at the show Medium, last night. The main plots are fine, but TV Allison is an unpleasant bitca in her family life and her husband is alternately a pathetic wimp and an absurdly doubting clown. Neither of the two supports the other which the writers seem to think is hunky-dory. Also, the writers' idea of child raising borders on neglect. I think I've seen enough. I won't be watching that show any more. It's too bad. It had some promise.

Exactly my response, the one time I watched it. Too bad,indeed.

Yep, I'm with you on this one. I was appalled by the incessant Mulder-and-Scullying last night. She's been right so many times, when is he going to give up the nagging, doubting act?

I'll probably still have to watch though, as the SO is hooked and considers it to be quality time spent together, LOL.

See, even if you're not on the same wave length, you two are thinking about each other in some way other than how you can make each other feel worthless and miserable. The writer's of Medium don't seem to recognize that as a valid life style.

My major problem with the show at the moment is, like you said, it's basically the exact same conflict week after week between the husband and wife. Every week they have the same argument, and every week it's resolved pretty much the same way. On the whole, though, I still find it entertaining. Some of the plot twists still surprise me (although I found last night's quite obvious and more of a retread of past stories than anything else, which isn't great on a show not yet done with its first, truncated season), and I like Allison as a character, for the most part. But her family life scenes really drag the show down. Add to that the fact that I find the girls who play her daughters absolutely horrible actresses, and it does take away a great deal of points from the series.

I stopped watching after the third episode. It just lost my interest, and the characters were boring.

I've been disappointed lately, too, but will continue to watch because I do actually like the husband and am curious about what they'll come up with next. But there is a lot of retread.

And, I'm surprised no one here mentioned the gigantomundo error that ruined the episode for me - how the heck did Allison and then her husband get through security to wait at the gate at the airport without (one assumes) a ticket/boarding pass? Allison maybe if she used her DA credentials, but her husband showing up?!?!? Having just flown our friendly skies this past weekend, there is no way someone is going to get through to a gate without a ticket.

And, might I add, I happened to fly in and out of Phoenix Sky Harbor airport - same airport they would have been at.

I noticed the airport business, and thought that even Allison probably wouldn't have free access. But, they've been having characters waltz out to the airport gates like it was 1980 on most shows lately. So I can't gripe too much specifically about this instance. It must be a lot more annoying to those who've just passed through an airport recently.
