Episode 8
Author: Bev Vincent
A lawyer who needs a new heart is unhappy with the care he gets at the haunted hospital and an autopsy on Mary's doll produces details of the 1869 mill fire
Author: Lin242
Thankee Bev, I was kind of hoping to be watching play-off hockey round 2, but ... we all know what happened.

An autopsy on a doll? - I faint at the sight of stuffing
Author: Lin242
Hi Steve!!
What a nice surprise. An alert then, for gawd's sake, don't look at the pic I posted at SKBB... 
Okay, one quick post before I do other stuff before I come back, etc. etc. It is absolutely gorgeous weather here today, but ALSO, CSI is a repeat, there is no Ottawa play-off hockey, and no Apprentice to flip back and forth too. Kingdom Hospital can be watched with no distractions!! Not that we missed any of the episodes, but it's too tempting to flip around for me.
Off again to do some work.

I know what you mean, Lin. I used to switch back-and-forth between KH and The Apprentice.

Well that's one way to free up an ICU room! Be careful what you wish for -- you might actually get it.
I am intrigued by the relationship between Mary and Antubis. At times they seem allied, but she seemed terrified by him when he was doing the transplant.
For some reason I feel really bad for the serial killer. He never really got a fair shake. The ghosts picked him to screw with and then the lawyer is coveting his organs and what does he get for his troubles?
Did King really manage to squeeze “tits up” into the dialog on network TV?
Author: CRinVA
I was watching intently and did not hear “tits up” at all.
So how about that anteater - that was one helluva transplant on the scheister lawyer, wasn't it ~0
On Stegman - got his car towed - Ha Ha ; stole credit for the medical journal article - shame :@ ; and most of all showed he was willing to take the scheiters $$$ for a transplant! ~0 he is a bd man and I predict he will eventually pay for all his indiscretions!
What the heck happened in the sleep clinic - the young Dr (forgot his name) and the one he is infatuated with (forgot name as well) travelled to the morgue in a dream????
Bev have to agree with you on your statement about Mary - she was terrified when he performed the heart transplant - wasn't she also saying that the mill fire was Not set?
Author: Bev Vincent
It came from the lawyer. He was mumbling on about when people were considered dead and he used military lingo (tango uniform) to denote “t” “u” and I'm sure he said “tits up” after that. I didn't rewind it, but I should.
My wife works on a transplant ICU -- I'll have to show her that scene so she can pass the new technique along to her coworkers.
His demeanor changes quite radically from scene to scene, from off-the-wall to calm and almost sane, as in the beginning of his talk with the lawyer. In Riget, Von Trier had his cast perform each scene a number of times with radically different emotions, then in the cutting room he'd take bits and pieces from each performance and splice them together so you would see some very strange shifts within some scenes.
Elmer is Sandman Positive (we don't know what that means yet) but I think he is a lucid dreamer and Massengill got mesmerized by his brain patterns on the monitor and they were somehow sucked into dreamland together.
I think she was doing that to placate someone. “Honest, I didn't see anyone set the fire, and even if I did I'll never tell” is the gist of what I took away from her dialog there. Pleading with someone who intended her harm because she saw something she shouldn't have.

Bev,
In ref to Elmer and Dr Massengill - I get a kick out of her name! Was this her name in the Roget version? There is a lot of meaning in naming her (the older, not interested in Elmers love interest) thus!
Yes, now that you mention Tango Uniform - the Lawyer did use the military term and he DID say Tits Up! I am surprised the censors didn't catch it or bleep it! What with all the hoopla these days of the Janet Jackson Tango Out incident during the Super Bowl!

Good Morning all good BVBoard people!
I loved last night's episode and rest assured, I heard tit's up as well, made me giggle a little too cause it was kind of surreal.
I was happy to see Crista and Abel back, even momentarily and for once, I actually liked Natalie Rickman. :~ She didn't bug me last night -- Steve and I actually thought it was Natalie in bed with the stranger at the beginning, I was ready to shout YES!! I knew it!!
I love Antubis, truly, but I am a little unclear about his presence sometimes and I was confused about Mary's reaction to the final scene of the heart surgery. Obviously her and Antubis share khef, but I guess that was too much for her?
I think Elmer is very well-cast, he just makes me think SMARMY. That was a good sequence too, is the doctor's first name Lorna?
Lin
Author: Lin242
Oh, and Darth P? I couldn't help it -- I had to flip back and forth to the stupid hockey game even though my team didn't make it to Round 2. I would have made a good character in The Talisman.

The sleep doctor's name is Lona Massingale according to IMDB.
In Riget, Elmer's name is Peter “Mogge” Moesgaard and his dreams involve cannibalism that is very realistically portrayed. It's the moment when the Danish series begins to descend into some very graphic violence that took me by surprise. Dawn of the Dead stuff.
The object of his desires is named Camilla and in Riget she resists only briefly and they are frequently seen getting it on behind the screens in the sleep lab. Mogge is a little less smarmy than Elmer, though he is just as misguided and does indeed “lose his head” to Hook, who takes advantage of him to get into the archives.

Thanks Bev, I couldn't really tell when he was saying her first name last night, and you know me, never think of looking for meself.

Oh, I almost forgot -- I have a question about last night's episode. My ABC signal is crap and I couldn't read what was written on the screen of the laptop in the home of the guy who offed himself at the beginning. Did anyone see it/read it?
Author: Lin242
Yes, I did -- Steve and I read it out loud, but it was promptly replaced in my brain by the title of the book the nurse was reading “My Lover's Bloody Pumpkin” or something to that effect. Sorry Bev.
What I do know for sure is that it was a common saying, not necessarily King relevant, but it may appear somewhere in his works I guess. Now I'm curious, maybe someone who taped it?
Lin
Author: Rache4173
I taped it and expect to watch it either this evening or in the a.m..... if no one beats me to it, I'll post that for ya.

The guy's laptop said, “Whoever says money can't buy happiness doesn't know where to shop”.
Another question about the beginning of the episode. The girl laying in the bed had a tattoo of a red dragon on her back. Wasn't there a song in one of the first couple episodes that played in the background called “Red Dragon Tattoo”? Hmmm... #)
Thanks -- I wonder what their backstory is.
Author: newinside
The guy at the beginning is the same guy that was airlifted in, right? So, his heart was the one that was going to go to the lawyer? I do hope that they explain some of that backstory, because I found it rather confusing.
Author: Stalkingbutler
Yeah, I was kinda confused about that beginnig thing too. I remember when the “Red Dragon Tattoo” song played. It was during the scene where the guy who hit the artist was on his roof, right before he fell.
Author: Bev Vincent
The song was also playing on Peter's headset when he was hit by the van.
Yes, the guy who shot himself is the one who was airlifted in. I wonder who was calling him on the phone right before he pulled the trigger. I liked the way they quick-cut to Bobby Druse dropping the bunch of meat on the floor like brains.
Author: newinside
I agree. Very clever.

I like this show, so that probably means it's a death knell for it.
