The bits that build character are all good, but this isn’t really a mystery. The audience isn’t given all the information, even though it is pretty obvious the twist will be Chari is the murderer. There are alot of red herrings, like Chari is in the room when the gun is fired, but the idea that it is a gun on string is pretty silly. But at least the info is given before the reveal.

Also, the plot really squirms to make the twist work, but there are alot of plot holes or missing story elements. For example, why does Chari kill? Faith isn’t made out to be very concerned with public opinion, yet she will kill Chari and commit suicide? etc. etc.

The format is fun, the main characters are interesting, I liked the forcing of saying sorry. It was a nice bit of standing up to the money/blueblood.

I’ve heard people mention ILAM was an influence on Indiana Jones, but I’ve never been able to track down the source. I’m not sure if it came directly from Spielberg and/or Lucas or if ILAM fans just made the connection themselves since Indy owes so much to adventure serials from the 30s and 40s.

Finally got around to them and they’re a lot of fun. There’s a lot of filler episodes but after awhile, I don’t even care because I’m so engrossed in the story and the characters.

Back in the 90s, I recall reading somewhere that I Love A Mystery was an influence on Spielberg for the Indiana Jones movies. Did you guys read anything about that while researching these episodes?
