NBC’s Medium Casts Arizona Senator and Ex-POW as Murderer, Cannibal

Quote:
Monday’s NBC psychic crime drama Medium featured a plot line in which an Arizona state senator and former POW is discovered to be a two-time murderer and a cannibal.

While it is safe to assume that the story was written before the Hollywood writers’ strike, and before the rise of John McCain to front-runner status for the GOP presidential nomination, the parallels to McCain’s personal history as a U.S. Senator from Arizona and Vietnam POW are obvious.

In Monday’s episode, titled “Aftertaste,” the medium (“Allison DuBois,” played by Patricia Arquette) suspects an ex-POW Arizona state senator is involved in a murder she sees in her dreams. Through a series of psychic flashbacks, she discovers that the senator (“Jed Garrity,” played by Greg Itzin), as a young Army captain held by the North Vietnamese, proposed to his cellmates that they kill and eat a dying American soldier rather than starve to death. “Garrity” drew the short straw and committed the actual murder himself by strangling the dying soldier.

In the present day, “Garrity” and three of his ex-comrades become fearful that another survivor, “Gordon LaRoche,” is going to go to the media and reveal their dark secret, so “Garrity” again convinces the group that they have to kill him. The group kills “LaRoche” and dismembers him, with each burying a piece of the corpse. One of the other men is confronted by police, and confesses that he committed the murder by himself, so “Senator Garrity” is not held accountable, although in the final scene “Allison DuBois” does confront him about his guilt.
Well played NBC(National Barack Channel)...

I have a feeling next week's episode will NOT feature a black politician who grew up going to Muslim schools...

I cannot honestly believe that there is a single voter in the U.S. stupid enough to let a TV drama seriously influence their choice of Presidential candidate.

I used to think that too. But there are people registered to vote who are that
easily swayed.
We need a president and some congressmen who lead this country to be better and healthier. Not through mandates, but guidance and example. He/she would have to be a well spoken person/well liked or even well loved figure. One thing to present to Americans is that we are watching tooo much junk T.V. Too much T.V. period. Let's get out and be with our families and garden or fish. Go to the races, whatever.
I couldn't believe so many people addicted to reality shows! They shouldn't call them reality shows, but put them under the big heading
"I will do absolutely anything for money!"

I must live a sheltered life..

The only channels I watch are Cable News..C-SPAN 1 and 2. The History channel,Discovery and a occasional movie if it's history related. I never watch game shows or reality shows. I do miss the "OLD" SNL shows,Sanford and Son and All In The Family. They don't make em like they used to so I don't watch em like I used to. That said..I do worry about the "fragile" young minds who may be influenced by some of these shows..
