Lie to Me This Week

I missed “Lie to Me” last night. When I tuned in at the normal time, I found American Idol was on, so I changed channels. Then when I went to delete American Idol from my DVR later in the evening, I played it for a second, and I happened to catch the announcement that “Lie to Me” has been moved to the hour before. With that, this morning, I tuned in online to watch the episode I missed. (Episode 6 “Do No Harm”).

I loved one scene this week more than any of the others. Read moreIt was the scene where Dr. Cal Lightman was asking Samantha 20 questions, but she refused to answer. Dr. Lightman, however, didn’t need words. He read her body language–from swallowing, to the slightest of head shakes, to tenseness in her grip, if I remember right.

Samantha acted out that scene beautifully! She pulled it off perfectly. It was as good as real life!! And Dr. Foster did well, too, with supporting body language. At one point, Dr. Foster gave a supportive head shake expressing her beliefs. It was great. Both Samantha and Dr. Foster kept me in the moment, which few actors do, and I loved it!

This scene shows one of the ways I have innately read people for years and why people thought I was psychic, when clearly, I am not.

Now granted, these body language signs, while they are indications of things, they should never be taken as concrete evidence. They can mean different things or happen for more than one reason, but if you investigate what these indications are telling you, you will often find out that you were right more often than you are wrong.

Bravo Fox! Great job! I just loved this scene, and I liked tonight’s episode a whole bunch. I can’t wait to see more.

What were your thoughts of the show last night?
