Hey, here's my first post. I've been watching Harper's Island since it first started. I'm not totally crazy about it, but it's a good summer show because it's just fun and that's all. Some of the episodes I've hated, some I've liked. This one was just okay. The three preceding this one were quite nice, but some of "Splash" was just plain stupid.
In "Splash", many characters meet their deaths in, of course, gory manners. The beginning immediately picks up in the Cannery with all the female wedding guests minus Abby. Let me tell you that it is the oldest stereotype in the book that all the men stand up and fight for the women. Anyway, immediately, John Wakefield, the killer if you didn't know, barges in. Nikki is stupid and tries to stab Wakefield and fails miserably, leading to her own death. Another guy, whose name slips my mind because he is less important, tries to kill Wakefield is a poor shot as is everyone else is in the show. Wakefield forces a long spear through him and so ends that character. All the other women escape when the character who just died comes back for one last breath. So stupid.
Next, we have Abby who finally meets up with the other guests who are out and about on the island. They ask her if she is okay, which she is, and Abby decides that she is bent on killing the killer. If you're trapped on an island with a killer, wouldn't the smart thing to do be run away from him and not come out to fight him? Sounds like a surefire way to get murdered. A lot of other things happen in which one of them involves them going to a church when they hear the bell ringing. Don't these people watch any horror movies? They look around and realize that nobody is there, but wait...where is Chloe? In a drain vent and imprisoned by Wakefield, of course! Cal somehow rescues her, also tries to shoot Wakefield, fails, and falls off a bridge. Chloe commits suicide over this.
Trish, Madison, and Beth go to the police station where the find all of the Sheriff's files on Wakefield. They find a file on none but...Jimmy! A second killer? More like another red herring which this show seems to be full of. Now that the writers want us to believe it's Jimmy, it can't be. I still stick with my theory that Abby is somehow in cahoots in all this. Also, I doubt Chloe actually died, but whatever, she was expendable anyway. As was Cal. See you in two weeks for the two hour season finale! Hope it's good.
"Splash"-Grade: B-
