multiplicity_archives | Medium TV Show, Oct. 3rd

Hey

So I really think it must have been like multiple week or something for tv shows or whatever. So we were watching Medium on NBC Monday night. The synopsis for the episode says nothing about the whole DID topic but it was totally snuck in there and we'll take Robert Oxnam media representation any old day than the crap we saw on Medium. Okay so like it could have been worse with Medium but still it just like irritates us.

So here's the deal. The main story line was something totally different but like there is always some legal crime thing that's got to be solved or whatever and so they stuck in this dude that had murdered his mother violently and he was like claiming he had MPD/DID. So they have Allison check the guy out to see if he was for real or whatever. So like they're watching him and the prosecutor is like wanting to talk to the other "personality" that killed his mother and so they have this ridiculously violent insane crap show up as if the dude has MPD/DID and this is what his other "personality" is like. Okay, whatever. Oh yah and the end of seeing the other "personality" Allison like thought he was for real cuz the dude scared her but she got this series of numbers in her head and so she wrote them down. So eventually the prosecutor finds out that it's a bank account and this dude who killed his mother had given like half a million dollars or something like that to this psych dr. who basically taught him how to pretend to have DID and dx'd him and crap like that.

So why was this crime crap brought in? What was the point of that when the main story line was something totally different, although about psych ward and psychic stuff too in a separate deal. Because the lawyer for this dude was the lady that was connected to the main story line. So if ya ask us there was no reason to have this depiction of DID and crap. I mean they could have picked and came up with any old crime deal to have this lawyer in so she could be carried through the freaking show with the main story line.

Ya know what we think? We think that since the whole deal with Robert Oxnam had been on like the day before on CBS and so then NBC was like oh yah we got to have something about DID in here too. And okay so like they end up showing the guy was totally faking DID and so the deal is somebody with DID didn't murder somebody like usual past media hype but it just annoys the crap out of us. We still think like maybe it sets it in people's minds and so they like will associate it in some way. Either total fakes or murders or whatever. We're so tired of multiples being like all shown as murdering other people or committing crimes or whatever like that.

Oh yah, so ya know, we said MPD and DID and personality and all that jazz cuz that's how it's like referred to in the media.

So that's our rant for today. We couldn't find anything about it the other day on the web except for their synopsis that didn't say nothing about the whole DID crap in it. But I swear we saw it.
