Out Side News Media-Unforgettable episode #2
The show is about a young lady named Carrie Wells who is a detective for the NY police station. She has a rare condition that enables her to remember just about everything. She pretty much has a photographic memory to where she can remember everything at a crime scene and in daily living. This episode was about how a young boy saw his parents get murder and has a hard time talking about it. The show has an emotional hook to where Carrie comforts the little boy and plays video games with him so he will end up feeling safe around her. The show also has a twist at the end where they thought they had the killer, the kids uncle but then finds out it was the doctor who was a close friend to the family. The boy saw the doctors plane on TV and freaked out and that's when they knew it wasn't his uncle. She is seen as the hero in the story line. The show portrays that the police would never solve any cases without her and her special ability.

I also saw this new show, Unforgettable. Do you think the emphasis on her memory works in the same way that science does in CSI? Does it provide a sense that law enforcement is infallible because they have these "super cops" with super abilities working for them?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you seem to be falling behind a bit here, so I would try to catch up more if I were you. And as I said in my last comment, your engagement with the outside media is good, but you could work on your summaries of the assigned readings to improve the entires. Let me know if you have questions.
