Just so I can be absolutely clear what's happening here: You're on the internet, vitriolically complaining about my habit of going onto the internet and complaining vitriolically about Medium?

That's seriously happening right now?

I disagree. I didn't watch Numb3rs, so I can't comment on that, but about Medium, I think you're totally off base. Obviously we were watching two different shows. The writers were not condoning vigilantism or anything else, but merely presenting a scenario and maybe asking us to examine ourselves and our morals. It's a television show, for cryin' out loud. But I digress. You've missed the whole point. The fact was that both Kira and Paul were remorseless and had no intention of changing or stopping. But anyway, based on your comments and the undisguised vitriol in your post, it's obvious that you dislike the show with a passion (especially given your hatred of the Kurtwood Smith episode), so why do you even watch it? Just so you can trash it afterwards. Do you really think so much of yourself that you think people care that much about your opinion? If you have that much animosity that the only reason you watch, or listen to, or read something, is so that you can trash it afterwards, then you need help. You're not watching to get anything out of a show, much less enjoyment, but rather looking for an excuse to shoot off your mouth and criticize something, as if someone really wants to hear it. Get over yourself.

Great analysis of what I think of as the backlash against allowing victims of heinous crimes some kind of justice (haven't watched SVU in years because of it). However, I don't think that Medium is done with this - I suspect that Allison is going to "save" Cubitt from making a "big mistake". That would be more in keeping with the show's "moral universe".
