rose_griffes | TV: episode 7, The Killing (and a request for help)

Hey, if you're interested in helping with the Sarah Connor Chronicles rewatch in June, go here. I'm going to be away from computers for much of June, so I could use some help with reminder notices and back-up recaps.

The Killing, episode 7. I had a very hard time clicking the play button, because of the cliffhanger about what Stan might do to Mr. Ahmed.

Now I'm worried about what Mitch might do. So did Bennet actually take Rosie to the cage, or is this rumor a result of the telephone game?

Richmond proved that he's not just an idealist, he's a headstrong idealist. Not sure where that's going to get him. I understand why he doesn't want to sacrifice Ahmed's career on the altar, but it's not just Richmond's political ambitions, it's the youth program. I... yeah. Quite the conundrum.

Linden misses her flight, to no one's surprise. And now her fiancé isn't returning her calls. Poor Holder, who didn't ask for the ongoing assistance of the woman whose job he's supposed to do. (Um. And poor fiancé Rick Felder. Offscreen Callum just gets the parentheses this week.)

Mosque. Butcher shop? I missed that it was the woman at the mosque who slipped the address to Sarah, but AMC helpfully told me. Good thing, too, 'cause I was wondering.

And then the FBI shows up. Ooookay?

Yeah, the Bennet/Cage thing was likely a game of telephone. And yes, the AMC summaries are helpful like that! :D Though sometimes I worry about them indirectly being spoilery by the way they phrase or emphasize things.

I wouldn't have gone to the AMC summary if I hadn't been wondering what the heck was going on with the slip of paper... so hopefully I can avoid that in the future? Like you, I worry about what they emphasize.

So did Bennet actually take Rosie to the cage, or is this rumor a result of the telephone game?
I missed this. I have to check out the telephone game.

I missed that it was the woman at the mosque who slipped the address to Sarah
I replayed because I was like, what? She was very smooth. Just dropped it in the boot. It was totally cool that it was on-screen. There's something about that scene and how no one really pays attention to people in the background. And what about Aisha?

And then the FBI shows up. Ooookay?
I know! What's up with that?

The telephone game is when you have some phrase/sentence that you write down, then whisper to someone, who whispers it to someone else, etc. until you get to the last person in the room and ask what he/she heard. The end result is always wrong. In other words, take the video with Rosie's friend wearing her wig in the Cage and combine it with Mr. Ahmed, who works at the school and has a young former-student wife, throw around a few wild rumors and voila: Bennet took Rosie to the Cage.

Missing girl Aisha does add in a new layer; I wonder if they'll address that at all?

FBI! Too bad Agent Ellison won't be with them...

Oh, I know the telephone game! I just wasn't sure if it was an in-show rumor or fandom rumor. Then I got spoilerphoberific and decided not to click the link.

So you think Bennet actually took the friend somewhere? *is confused*

Amber seems to confirm that Rosie came back with the Koran. But there are some lies in there somewhere.

I don't know if they'll address Aisha. I feel they'll get more help from the man at the mosque if they do.

Or Walter & Co! Though this isn't a Fringe event. Yet. ;-)

And see? I knew Stan wasn't going to kill Bennet. It was his daughter's funeral that day! And how sweet were he and Mitch together?

So you think Bennet actually took the friend somewhere? *is confused*
Telephone game in action! Nope. I just don't know if the rumor about Bennet and Rosie and the cage has any real foundation, that's all.

Heh. I thought that too. "Aren't we playing it right now?" Hee.

No, I don't think Bennet was down there. It doesn't seem his scene and I really, really hope not.
