  • I didn't see the first Lucky episode, but I think I'm better off. That guy really annoyed me!!!

    "Mediocre"
    By Metissa, Jun 24, 2011 Report Abuse
    My first encounter with Lucky was seeing him talking to that woman in the bar. And I thought; Any guy who listens to that manipulating woman for more than a minute has a screw loose. I didn't like either of those characters at all. Leah or 'eyebrowgirl', as I now like to call her, knew how to cry, but other than that she was terrible. Her eyebrows were all over the place, and she had an annoying speech impediment.

    So to sum up: This was truly a filler episode. And the worst episode of Medium I have seen to date! I hope they never bring back Michael! "AfganIstn"

    Am surprised that quite a number of people do not have a liking for Lucky. Like him or not, I think he pulled this episode off and whatever is done to convince me otherwise just does not wash. First off he depicted his true self when needed, the broke, planless dude and then in the name of love tried to be who he was not. Someone who could actually stand up for something or someone other than him. That was new! Lastly, lucky had always been in denial of his abilities even when they hit right square on the jaw. This time he changed his mind. Why? All in the name of love. Despite the fact that I think love sucks. This episode as far as Lucky was concerned, it was good enough for me.moreless

  • Michael "Lucky" Benoir has troubles finding a job, his sister's messages and money on his wallet but he's not a bank robber regardless what Allison's visions might say on the subject.moreless

    However, when Allison dreams about her brother illegal activities she invites herself on Scanlon's investigation until she's sure neither he nor Davalos are after a suspect that responds to her brother's description.

    Once she finally has Lucky sleeping under her roof Allison can rest, that's until Michael's special lady friend turns out to be the dead partner-gone-victim of the actual bank robbers on the investigation at hand, one who hasn't realized she's dead yet and one who just placed Michael in such a mess Allison can't get him out without Scanlon's help.

    The episode ties in on Allison's relationship with her brother and Michael relationship with their 'superpowers. Like Ariel on "Doctor's Orders", Michael can't tell when something or someone he's seeing isn't there, for him his girlfriend is very much alive until the killer himself confesses he murder her. As touching as the "Ghost" angle may be this places Lucky in real danger both physical and emotional.

    A nice touch is the way Allison's real brother Michael is saved by her brother-in-arms Lee Scanlon. Although these two men hardly share screen time together the parallel set by Joe is quite telling: while Michael is the kind of man one would think could robe a bank, Lee is the kind of man one would trust to find the robbers; while Michael is the man who questions his own 'superpowers', Lee relies on his sister's skills to find him being Lee the one Allison resorts when its time to get Michael out of troubles. One could only wonder what could happen if Allison's "brothers" team up together on an upcoming episode.moreless

  • Decent but predictable episode with Allison reuniting briefly with her brother, Micheal. She dreams Michael was involved in a bank robbery that turned deadly.

    I have to say I liked this episode for the fact that we saw Micheal and Allison brought back together. Micheal is a nice guy and this episode
    shows how people played with his vulnerability.

    In essence this episode should be retitled "Unlucky in Love" as Michael gets involved with a crooked but unstable girl named Emilia. Turns out she wants him to steal money
    from her ex-boyfriend/criminal mate.

    Micheal of course is fed lies and never tells
    the truth. By chance, Allison sees Emilia
    with him and keeps an eye for Michael.

    When he goes missing she knows somethings up.

    Ok the story was predictable but the acting was
    great and at least the writers made an attempt
    to present a more personal family bond with Michael and Allison. I'd like to see the
    character be brought back since Jake Webber's
    character can get so incredibly annoying.moreless

    • Michael: I guess I'm more like you than I realized. Allison: Yeah, sorry about that. Michael: Just so we're straight here - seeing ghosts, seeing the future, that is the extent of our superpowers? I don't have to worry about laser beams shooting out of my ass, or leaping tall buildings in a single bound, or anything like that? Allison: I believe you and your ass are safe. Edit
    • Allison: Michael never came home last night. Joe: Well, so maybe Lucky got lucky last night. Can you get lucky with a ghost? Edit
    • Michael: (to Lia) Okay, yeah, you know what, I understand. You just met me, you know me well enough to break and enter for you, but not to actually know where you sleep at night. Makes sense to me. Edit
