the mystery is finally revealed /4:12 PM
Okay, after sitting down to think about it, Harper's Island isn't that bad. REALLY. I think the main reason why we all felt that the episode kinda sucked was because there was an attempt by the
scriptwriters to make it sorta abstract, and it ended up falling into the whole genre of cliche dramas as well. But anyway, isn't this the kind of script that people like us just foolishly watch and enjoy
everytime?
So it was revealed. The killer had been Henry all along. THE GROOM. Turns out he had been killing everyone to get to his loved one -- Abby. Nope, not Trish. Trish, the bride, turned out to be just a bait for Abby to
return back to Harper's Island so that they can reunite. Yes cliche and all. I see all your eyes rolling already. The impossible
relationships (Henry and Wakefield are part of a family), the childhood innocence that led into this character that Henry turned out to be as a result of what Abby said when they were young, the final killer being killed by his loved one and all. Yes. Cliche. But honestly, it was a good plot I think, just that it has been recycled countless times. Still, I don't think that Harper's Island had to be rendered 'trash' just because of that. IT WAS GOOD AND I STAND UP TO CLAP FOR IT. Just a few loopholes in the plot, but this drama had a lot of potential in it, just that it wasn't fulfilled the way most people might have expected it to.
Anyway, it's sad the way Henry turned out to be. Yes, we all condemn him because of the demise of the other characters who get killed even though they may be totally innocent, but it wasn't something that Henry could help given his past.
That said, I hope Harper's Island season 2 would be a better one (I heard it's coming out). At long last my curiosity is cured... *sigh*
