Ah man. Seriously? I’m behind due to vacation and now I’m not sure I wanna keep watching. I probably will, cause like you, I’m stubborn/masochistic/loyal like that.
Right there with you Slezak – They were the only two that I found remotely likeable or entertaining. And I did tear up a little!
I too mourn the passing of Cal and Chloe, the two remaining characters that are remotely likable left on this show. I really don’t care who lives or dies in the finale now.
I have really enjoyed Harper’s all season. It was a perfect summer show and I wish they hadn’t canceled it so early. I definitely teared up and was pretty upset. I’m watching till the end though! I have so many theories about the killer! Hopefully one is right
I gasped, I had my hand over my mouth during the confrontation, and then I cried. I, too, am sucked in and was so rooting for them to live to the end. I am currently rooting for Trish now; Katie Cassidy acted the heck out of her role during Trish’s father’s death and I kinda like her. And maybe I’m rooting a little for Henry, too… okay, and Abby & Jimmy & Danny & Sully… dangnabit they’re all starting to grow on me (except Shea & Madison, they can be fodder any time now.)
i hate this show. really. i mean, the premise was great. HOW could they screw it up so badly?
I’ve just invested too much into it now to quit watching. I couldn’t care less about the characters, and the ones I did care/thought were the murderer were killed off–Cal, the dad, Maggie. But I did notice that if you go to wikipedia and read episode synopses there Saturday nights as the show is going on, they’re already posted…apparently the show airs on Thursday in Canada? Talk about fricking spoilers!
It was sad! I was shocked and cried a little while tweeting away! Then I laughed while I noticed my step dad snoring on the couch. Can’t wait til the finale
I was highly upset when Cal and Chloe were killed off. Cal was easily my favorite of the whole show. As for the rest of them, I am hoping Henry is the next to go – he is so annoying. I wouldn’t mind Abby going either, but since they’re the main characters, I imagine they’ll live. Unfortunately, there’s no one really left to root for!
Thank you for posting this, Slezak! I completely agree… I found myself suprisingly emotional during this scene. Cal and Chloe always seemed so outside the main story (why were they invited to the wedding again?), so I thought their survival would be the happy ending. But wow… what a finish. It’s probably because they were so removed from the main story that their deaths were more emotional… I’m pretty sure I’ve had the (other) killer pegged since about episode 3, so that part of the story has been not so great.
no you are not alone…i was surprisingly shocked and upset that these two died and that I actually cared. (And so close to the finale!!) I don’t want the show to end!
Did NOT like Chloe at all in the beginning but she and her charmingly dorky fiance won me over by the(ir) end. I’m still rooting for Henry and Abby to live, although my bf thinks Henry is working with Wakefield. They can kill the creepy kid any time they want. “No one blames you…” Yes, we do!
I’ll admit that I cried at that scene as well. Cal was my fave, and the killing was so brutal it was shocking! Now we have to wait two more weeks until the finale!
Well, for the entire season I just had fun watching all the different ways that people were getting killed. Then Cal died and I felt my first pangs of sadness. He was my favorite and even though I knew he’d probably die I just wasn’t prepared at all! Then Chloe had to top it off with her death. It was so sad.
I felt the past couple of episodes have been pretty good and thus my loyalty to the show despite a rocky start was warranted. This scene was by far the best of the season so far and perhaps what I will always take away from this show.
I really hoped these two would make it.
I’m so sad that they didn’t!
I really liked these two characters and I had been hoping they would make it.
This was a sad death, but the finale is next episode (2 hours).
I’m hoping for a HUGE twist.
By the way, this is the best summer show on broadcast network

I admit to being hooked. I at one time thought Cal could be the killer, but then I really hoped he wasn’s – especially after the bar scene. Saturday was very well done, and Chloe redeemed herself a little in my eyes (too one dimensional). Then I thought the second killer could be Jimmy and this only got clearer for me after the boat accident. But then they found Jimmy’s file and I think that they are making it too obvious for it to be Jimmy… so now I am thinking about Henry…could he be Wakefield’s son???
I couldn’t believe it when he killed Cal, and then Chloe just let go. I now hope that everyone dies, including Wakefield. Especially that creepy little girl. She gives me the wiggins.
I hated the demise of Chloe and Cal and it was affecting, especially since it was stolen from the great scene in Last of the Mohicans where Daniel Day Lewis’s brother is impaled by the bad guy and the girl he was protecting went over the side of the cliff the guy had been dumped from. She did the same thing as Chloe but didn’t say a word. Eye contact with killer, then just slowly fell backward.
Other people watch this show too??!! I thought I was alone! Didn’t care for Cal and Chloe until this past episode. They really stepped it up. Still rooting for Trish and Henry but not sure if I trust him. Glad I’m in Canada, no way could I wait until Saturdays to watch the show. Too bad there won’t be another show like this next season
Yes, they were easily my two favorite characters since the bar fight. Now I don’t care if all the rest of them die.
I read bad reviews of the show before it started, but watched anyway, and I’m glad, because it’s frothy, cheesy summer entertainment. I liked Chloe and Cal–they’ve been comic relief, like when she threw his clothes in the water and, unknowingly, the engagement ring that he had planned to give her, and then in the bar scene where she managed to get it back. Chloe’s been exceedingly loyal to Cal, despite the attempts of the “hotter” Sully to woo her away from him. I really hoped that they would make it off the island; Sully and/or Danny could have gone in their place and I wouldn’t have flinched (sorry, guys!)
Out of the rest, I like Henry, Abby and Jimmy, although they’ve been working to make us think that Jimmy is evil…so he’s probably not. I’m laughing over the comments about Madison; the little girl playing her has done an excellent job of making her skin-crawlingly creepy.
This show has gotten better each week. I’m so glad I stuck with it. I hated to see Cal and Chloe die and I am looking forward to the final 2 hours. I’m happy to know that there are more viewers out there.
I enjoy this show although I realize it is cheesetastic. I also found the Cal-Chloe scene moving. I think the other killer will turn out to be Henry. Not a spoiler – just a hunch.
I enjoy this show, although I realize it is cheesetastic. I found the Chloe/Cal scene surprisingly moving. I’m betting on Henry as the second killer. We’ll see.
I LOVE THIS SHOW… it’s my guilty pleasure and I loved CAL!!! So sad to see him killed… and then when she said… you can’t have me. WOW… so good. Teary? maybe not but COMPELLED? Absolutely!
I love this show!! It’s my guilty pleasure. And Loved Cal!! So didn’t want him to die… and when Chloe said You can’t have me…. WOW Teary?? maybe not but Compelled… Definitely!!!
I can’t believe that Cal and Chloe died. Again, I also can’t believe that anyone else but me watches the show. I do find it oddly facinating, sadly less so now with the loss of Cal, Chloe, the Sheriff, and Daddy Warbucks. I do hope Henry is the killer and gets the strange kid and her odd mother (don’t freak out, that’s what happens in slasher/thriller movies)
