Oh god I'm out of Genius when is season 3? :f5:

That crime show was a bit silly. I hope the players are better about finding evidence and gathering actual useful info next time. As far as Super Junior members go I think Henry is pretty low on the variety scale but that just means hes only good instead of loving amazing (ie: Shindong).

Henry is taking the variety show approach and it's frustrating for the people that are serious about solving the mystery but I'm sure his fans are loving it. They even put instruments for him to play with all over the place. I find it a little grating personally.

It's a cute show. Nice for passing the time till The Genius 3 starts. I wouldn't call it amazing or recommend it to anyone tho. I feel like the cast kinda sucks as detectives but it might be hemmed up for the sake of letting the viewers vote.

I honestly have no idea. They totally ignored the line in the close friends' chatroom about the class president liking the victim. I'd like it if there's more to that. She was involved with either him or "hot" guy, there's always a twist like that


And don't get me wrong, I don't hate Henry, I just don't enjoy a lot of his antics on this show. I used to be able to name ALL of the members of Super Junior! there are so many of them man!

Playing the violin is one of his specialties BTW

I was getting pretty upset with Henry towards the end, but then he ended up being right...
Looks like Henry's sticking around and they're bringing in a seventh guest contestant next week? Maybe they realized it was too hard to get a consensus with only 5 people who aren't the murderer.

I think it was another idol and Henry wasn't there?

This was the best episode so far IMO. I really like the idea of having a real detective there
The cause of death is obviously poison and/or heart attack but it makes me wonder if it's something more sophisticated than poisoning her drink. Probably not tho, I just tend to think things that are too simple on a TV show are always wrong :shobon:

I got it right mainly because I noticed the glow when they turned off the lights. The camera kinda focused on it tho :shobon:
I was just so happy to see Sunggyu again (even though he didn't play that big a part in the investigation)

This show is a murder mystery. A huge chunk of the fun is speculating as they go, even if the killer is revealed in the same ep.
I usually know a new episode is up by checking this thread. It would be fair to at least tag the first few posts after a new one comes out. Why are spoiler tags even an issue?

This episode was kinda weak as far as the mystery goes. Finding out about the medicine so soon made the rest of the investigation pointless. It was pretty clever tho, gg

In other news the reveal of next week's guest makes me fangirl in the worst way and it's very hard to keep this post SA appropriate.

I had a feeling it was the reporter from just before the first vote, I don't even remember why. For the motive I was thinking of self defense at first but the whole fanboy reveal really cemented it for me. Those people are loving scary.

Speaking of, Key was delightful and I am 100% biased :3:

The finale looks really promising and I'm happy they're bringing back the detective guy.

I have to ask because this was bugging me through the whole episode: Why would there be real Chloroform on a movie set?
It threw me off a little because I was thinking it might be the reason for the weird stab wounds. Killer tries to use prop Chloroform to knock actress out which doesn't work and catches them by surprise, leading to a struggle that ends with impromptu stabbings. I guess I went with over-complication once again :j:

When you produce the actual episodes, would you mind making a thread in TGR just to post those that I can subscribe to? I don't want to follow everything live, but reading the episode synopsis sounds nice.

The problem with that is that the players will also have access to it. Just send Asiina a request for Vista access, its a Google doc that has all of that + confessionals + viewer discussion.

Gonna be really interesting to see if Ahyoung will get her revenge after being so blatantly betrayed. I don't know what Kyunghoon was thinking. Sure, he won the round but he's screwed long-term with that hanging over him.

Frankly he did exactly what I was thinking someone should do through the later half of the game. She decided all on her own to put her trust in him and the way she kept repeating it felt really manipulative. If you don't want to put any thought or effort into the game that's your problem, or at least try to hide it a little. She redeemed herself in the death match though. The end of it was kind of a facepalm moment for Juri.

Random Stranger posted:

Also, so far the games seem designed to not allow a strong bloc to form. For example, the main matches have had teams form out of the game play and trying to cross teams was a problem. And the death match this week let you use an alliance, but the other player could use knowledge of that alliance against you for greater effect.

Not to mention the amount of WIFOM the death match had in the betting parts.

Hongchul was fine, but he was doing too much 'this is variety!' kind of thing. Which doesn't fit well with this show.

I just found his style jarring in general but this is 100% a matter of personal taste.

Is this the first time both Death Match candidates were picked by the Main Match?
Not letting the DM candidate choose their opponent takes an important part out of the social game, I'm surprised they went with that.


Symbolic Butt posted:

Yeah but I mean, I expected them to create small factions to compete with conflicting plans about who they would push to get first and then immediately follow up to get second place.

Instead they just ganged up on Kang and doctor guy to make sure everyone just survived. Boring.
This is probably a result of what I mentioned above.

Junghoon was quite sharp at Hap Gyul, I was impressed how well he did. Of course, he missed the most obvious one, the first one I saw, but he found a lot of others I wasn't seeing and was quite impressive at it.
