Watching last weeks' Fear Itself provided me with a really complex question to ask. If you found out the person you were marrying is a serial killer, would you still marry them?
It's an easy question on the surface til you think about it. Could you really go through with it? Would you spend the rest of your days afraid of your spouse? Could you ever really trust them? Is love enough?
The story began w/a bride who got a note from a mysterious stranger before walking down the aisle claiming the groom was a serial killer. Umm...panic anyone?
I think the show succumbed to the same problem as those before, it could've been awesome. It reaches a point where the story is great, the acting always superb, but the ending feels stretched out and tacked on. I've given it a fair chance, I really tried. I can't help but be disappointed when it's over... It could be so much-more! It doesn't push any boundaries or pass any frames of exceptional viewing. I just expected better.

I agree. All the hype made it sound like there was going to be a REALLY scarey mini horror flick on every thursday night. So far I'm not all that impressed either. The first weeks show was awful, the second weeks was good, and I really enjoyed the third weeks. However, the forth weeks episode was a definate backslide. The entire story seemed really dragged out, and I didnt like the end at all.
I think all NBC has to fear are some very disappointed viewers.

Yes, that tacked-on ending was terrible! Remember all the hype they built up before it started? Thought it'd be awesome but it's soooo disappointing! Bummer

i totally called the end from the very beginning because the note said 'person' instead of man/woman... but yeah, so far, this show hasn't been anything special... if anything, the first episode with the sisters has been the best, and i will admit, 'the family man' had a good twist at the end, but aside from those two things, the show isn't spectacular by any stretch of the imagination

Yup. That sums it up. It's a shame considering the amazing lineup of writers & producers from "the scariest movies". Bummer
