The season finale already?!?! What happened!? That was the fastest 13 episodes of my life! It began on Wedsnday January 21st....and ended Wedsnday May 13th. I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2!!

Now, on a serious observational note, this episode was VERY case heavy due to it's intensity. Hello, bombings are a very serious issue, and I have to give kudos to the writers of this episode for gracefully playing this دکھائیں around such a touchy subject matter. But lets begin!

We begin with a VERY House like beginning. Almost the same music, and everything that's expected to happen, does. The bus blew up! This is me: 'Well let's start things off with a BANG, shall we?'

We see some Ria/Karl going on to begin the episode once again, but she really IS happy with him so it's devastating to her when he ends up in the hospital. But مزید on that later. Truth be told, I really thought we'd see مزید of Zoe and Cal here, but we only really see Zoe in 4-5 scenes. And Emily has a place in here too, but all of her scenes consisted of her being really scared. This is good to have because we now know to how she reacts to the cases that Cal has to handle practically every دن یا week.
We see Cal take over a lame attempt at an investigation and explains, 'You need to alter the conditions'. So this would explain why their interrogation room has 2 sided glass on ALL walls, lights all over your face with a camera sitting in front of آپ and Cal shouting at you...? Yes, those are PERFECT conditions. ;D
At least we got to see Tim's fabulously sculpted arms with his sleeves rolled up. (Or was it a T-shirt...)

Well now, Ria and Gillian go out on their own to do some investigating...Ria apparently 'misses' a clue. When she talks to Cal, he knows EXACTLY what she's going though. Whenever Cal's missed something, it sticks with him, and he's had some pretty big misses over the years. But he calmly tells her, 'I need آپ focused, love.'
WOW!! There's some Eli in this episode!! Finally he's back to his old self we saw in the Pilot. 'This job has opened some pretty crazy doors, but this is one I never wanted to walk through.' I admit, the سیکنڈ bombing in the mall was a pretty horriffic site and Loker confirms this سے طرف کی saying, 'I'll be outside vomiting.' Glad your back, Loker!! ....for the finale... ._.
Well here's our first phone call with a horrified Gillian on our end. Immediatly I'm sure we ALL knew what had just happened. I know Callian شائقین must be happy, but can we please have a moment of silence for this brutal break-up? .......thank you. آپ can now go back to squealing.
Aaaand of course, Ria's boyfriend, Karl, was at the mall, in the elevator...for 4 hours. Of course, Cal makes the wise decision to not tell her any of this. It's rough on her, but she needs the lesson.
There's one مزید scene with Zoe, Call rings her up, and they just chat really. But I loved the line, 'You always did have a funny way of saying I love you.' Cal still loves her, people, and Gillian's heading for some rough days ahead...so don't expect this relationship to just happen on the Season 2 premire. It WILL be a strong possibility though. I can کریں تصدیق that.
The case takes a drastic turn though, 'These are the faces of innocents, not suicide bombers.' Uh-oh.

Now when they go out to look for the possible planner of this whole catrosphe, Ria seems to be spotting مزید than Cal. It's her last intence moment before she storms off to the hospital to go and see Karl. But she leaves Gillian with some مزید harsh words for her to take in this episode, 'Lightman plays God, and آپ make excuses for him.' 'Ria,' 'Leave me the hell alone.' ...I really feel so sorry for Gillian, she's going though alot.

Now Emily gets her word in about her dad and Zoe being together. 'It's like they don't remember how bad it was.' She later says, 'He's so much happier when he's with you.' ...yes, آپ can scream for joy now, Callian fans.

This episode عنوان literally means sacrifice. For everyone in this episode. Of course, they found the killer, and it was the nefew. Of course, they had to shoot him square in the head, but he was about to detonate another bomb, that's what I would have done. Cal says a quick bye to Loker, no big ending for him. But in Sacrifice, I mean Gillian just lost her husband. Sure she didn't want to, but she lost something that meant alot to her, and that's as close to sacrifice as آپ can get. When Cal found out, I was honest to God, waiting for them to kiss. THAT, Ladies (and gentlmen??), is where the ship of Callian should have, and CAN officially begin. Cal now moves onto a very pissed off Ria. She claims that 'Loker worships him, and Foster indulges him.' she says 'The problems not the job, it's working for you.' Cal says 'You have a talent, it comes with sacrifice.' Well, he'd know first hand about this type of sacrifice.
This season ends with the best quote ever کہا since 'Everybody Lies' on House.
"That talent? It dosen't belong to just آپ anymore." And with an epic shot of Cal walking down the darkening halls of the Lightman Group facility, we end the first season of Lie to Me*


Well it was great, wasn't it? It was very case heavy, but the last 5-10 miunets of the episode consisted of just the characters, and that was enough for me.

We all know that Loker's few scenes were short, but at least he had lines in all of them this time.

Ria? Well she's now officially the most pissed off member of the group, but she's becoming the most vital. Withought her, this case would have taken longer, and that's a fact. I think that no matter how many times that she whines and complains, this دکھائیں and the Group needs her. And Cal is willing to do whatever it takes to teach her everything he knows. (Well...maybe not everything...)

Gillian is the most emotional character, but this دکھائیں needs that to balance out Ria and Eli's characters. She took a hard hit tonight, and while doors may have closed for her, one مزید has opened. That's where Cal comes in.

Now I don't want to get all shippy here, but I just want to say that Cal CARES for her. It might not be full blown love, but if anything happened to Gillian, Cal would be there in an instant. (As shown in Blinded).
But while Gillian, Ria and Eli have the complex needs of this drama (emotion, comedy, and the 'newbie' (as a guide for the audience)), Cal's characer is all in one. سے طرف کی far the most complex and deep, and he will need several کتابیں to even begin to cover what season 1 has revealed for us. Cal is an obsessive, self driven, person with the needs to know the truth. He knows how to get it, but he needs his team to do so. Theres a reason everyone is there. And I'm sure that in season 2, we will find out why.

But as for now, I think that I might post several مضامین after this, just discussing my پسندیدہ thing out of this whole show. Dr. Cal Lightman himself. But for now, I think I'll have to make it through this withdrawl of my پسندیدہ دکھائیں as season 1 has already come to an end and season 2 several months away. I'll make it once the DVD comes out.

So...this is the final مضمون for season 1! What are your thoughts? Did آپ love it? Hate it?? Will آپ go through withdrawl and shock from the loss of Lie to Me* like I will? Please post in the تبصرے section below!! My last مضمون got 27 comments, I hope this one will do just as well! Maybe even better!


SEE آپ IN SEASON 2!!
