comment
Harper's Island is a limited-run horror mystery series that aired on CBS from April to July 2009, created by Ari Schlossberg. Its cross between a Ten Little Murder Victims premise and an emphasis on Slasher Movie-style deaths for the murder victims in question drew summaries of "Agatha Christie meets Friday the 13th".Seven years after psychopath John Wakefield went on a killing spree on the small community of Harper's Island, Henry Dunn and Trish Wellington are returning there to get married. Soon after the guests arrive, someone begins picking them off one by one in a manner reminiscent of the Wakefield murders. The murderer seems to have taken a particular interest in Abby Mills, the daughter of the local sheriff, whose mother happened to be one of the original murder victims.

Dirty Coward: Sully, though he does eventually become less of one. By the end of the series, he refuses a chance to be rescued to go after the killer and save his friends, while convincing the mother of the girl he was originally willing to let die to flee the island to protect her daughter.

Aborted Arc: A lot of the early storylines were abandoned when A) a character died or B) when the characters started noticing the murders and (rightfully so) decided that catching a murderer was more important than their personal lives. And as a result of this the show grew the beard.

Create Your Own Villain: Sheriff Mills turns his wife's obsessive ex-boyfriend John Wakefield into a murderous psychopath by having him beaten up and framing him for attempted murder of a police officer. He serves 17 years of a life sentence for something he didn't do. Of course, it didn't help that Sarah Mills gave away their son, Henry. They both might qualify for Death by Irony.

Not Helping Your Case: Jimmy may have been completely innocent but he still manages to act in a wildly shifty fashion, most notably when he leaves Trish sleeping alone in his truck while he visits the bluffs to look for a boat. When Trish later falls over the bluffs, completely accidentally, his story to the others sounds unlikely at best.

Lingerie Scene: Part of the Fanservice. Played straight with most of the female cast, most notably Trish and Chloe who are both overt flirts. Then inverted with Abby in the last episode when waking up in her underwear, as opposed to being naked, shows that Henry hadn't raped her while she was unconscious.

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping Abby's natural Irish accent is noticeable on a few occasions Cal's likely more well-spoken than his actor since towards the end he becomes very estuary in his pronunciation as the stress rises. Matt Barr can't quite keep Texas out of Sully's voice.

Bad Butt: JD is one trouble making rebel. Always wearing black, covered in tattoos, and causing chaos and disorder wherever he goes. And by chaos and disorder, I mean he likes to light fire crackers now and then. He does get in a bar fight with Shane... Even if Shane started it by mocking his attempted suicide. He also painted a message in blood on Shane's truck. That's not exactly a recipe for making friends.

Bittersweet Ending: Even though good does triumph in the end the vast majority of the characters were killed in the process. Made all the more heart tugging by the last clip being video camera recordings of many of the characters giving Henry and Trish best wishes and happy thoughts for their wedding day. Just to remind the audience just how much had changed and how many lives were lost.

Obnoxious In-Laws: Thomas Wellington is quite your typical wealthy man who disapproves of his future son-in-law. Going so far as to hire Trish's old flame to try and break up the wedding. But in the episode Thwack, he shows to give in and be happy for his daughter. Of course Henry's family members are pretty obnoxious too, Uncle Marty's party animal nature, JD's pranks, his dad killing everyone... Also, Wellington's reason for not liking Henry was apparently that some "instinct" told him Henry wasn't trustworthy. That was spot on, so it's hard to dislike him too much for his belief that Trish shouldn't marry Henry.

Cannot Spit It Out: The Sheriff never tells anyone that John Wakefield was alive. They find out when he appears to them for the first time... after just hanging the Sheriff. Also, Sarah Mills never tells young Henry that she's his mother, which might have averted his love for Abby. Also subverted by JD as he is dying. He tells Abby that it's all about her instead of the infinitely more useful information, like who the killer is. This probably saved her life, considering he was standing behind her.

We Hardly Knew Ye
 Harper's Island / int_676e942c
comment
We Hardly Knew Ye: Cousin Ben will not be forgotten for all he supplied to the show... when we can think of what exactly that was, we'll stop forgetting him. Uncle Marty, Reverend Fain, Kelly, and Lucy, who all died in the first two episodes of the show, also apply for this trope. Cole Harkin. He's given an interesting backstory and has a lot of potential as a character. in Episode 8, he's given his first real scene with character development and dialogue, and it turns out to be his death scene.

A Death In The Lime Light: They were pretty heinous about this with some of the characters, once leading to the organization of a massive search party for a character whose name (Beth) had never been mentioned before, and who only looked vaguely familiar once they found her. It was downright Narmtastic. Actually Abby and Sully do say Beth's name in the pool scene at the beginning of episode three...

Room Full of Crazy: Sheriff Charlie Mills has an attic dedicated to information about John Wakefield, the man who murdered his wife 7 years earlier before being shot, mainly because the Sheriff knows that Wakefield is still alive. It's full of boards covered in newspapers clippings and photographs and boxes of police files, and creeps the hell out of Abby when she finds it.

Fanservice: Hoo boy. The majority of the female cast end up in their undies or bikinis at least twice before episode five and lots of the men get their shirts off. The fanservice drops considerably post-headspade, but there's still a couple of lingerie scenes past there.

Cell Phones Are Useless / Cut Phone Lines: For various reasons, once the murders start ramping up, neither the landlines or cell phones work on the island. On web series Harper's Globe, the murderer has also managed to destroy the island's internet connection. The only way the survivors manage to contact the mainland is finding a boat house with a radio.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Harper's Island / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: A lot of weird stuff that happened in the beginning wasn't ever clearly explained. Like, who broke all the fine china? Who left the various animal carcasses lying around? Why was Madison so creepy and prophetic in the first two episodes and then suddenly an innocent normal kid again? The lack of curiosity after Lucy gets set on fire in the second episode. There apparently was going to be a scene explaining why no one seemed to care that she just up and vanished without any warning, which would have actually made sense, but they apparently cut it. However, if you pay attention Beth has several conversations with Malcolm where she's worried about Lucy not answering her phone, and he mentions everyone thinks she's on the mainland with a guy and will be back for the wedding, much like Uncle Marty.

Wham Episode: Thwack. Where with all of the crazy things going wrong and the missing guests can no longer be ignored after Mr. Wellington is killed off in front of everyone. "Snap" and "Gasp" as well. In Snap, John Wakefield is revealed as the killer, and in Gasp, Henry Dunn is revealed as the second killer, which he reveals to Trish seconds before killing her. "Sploosh," too. After all the hints that John Wakefield is alive and well and back at it again, Abby and Henry dig up his grave to see once and for all what's really down there... only to find Wakefield's skeleton, proving definitively that Wakefield really has been dead this whole time and the current murderer is someone all together different. Bam. End of episode. Though we later find out that Wakefield actually is the current murderer. Well, one of them, anyways...

comment
A-Team Firing: When the wedding party finally figure out they're being attacked, they break out the guns. How many bullets actually hit Big Bad John Wakefield? Zilch. Zero. None. Over the course of the series, Booth dies of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Hunter is killed by a rigged gun on his boat and Jimmy is incapacitated by a bullet to the back. They're all innocent. The two killers both die by being stabbed. It looks as though the Big Bad has this too. When sniping at the group, he only succeeds on giving Henry a flesh wound in the leg, which is easily patched up. Subverted gloriously: either he was trying to make his accomplice look like a victim, making this a case of Improbable Aiming Skills, or trying to hit/scare Abby next to him, making it a case of Accidental Aiming Skills.

Dead Star Walking: Harry Hamlin as Uncle Marty. He's traveling with a lot of cash and a gun, which seems to indicate he's going to play some key part in the plot, and is one of the most well-known faces in the cast. He's killed at the end of episode one. Also, Richard Burgi (Thomas Wellington) has some recognition with audiences. He gets killed via head spade halfway through the series.

Odd Friendship: Madison and JD share a penchant for nasty pranks, but they do seem to genuinely care about one another as well. Turns out she also has a friendship with Wakefield. Jimmy and Shane are also kind of an odd pair, but their friendship also seems to be genuine. Jimmy also has a unexpected friendship with Abby's dad. Despite the fact that the sheriff hated him when he was dating her. These days though they have breakfast and chat over coffee every week. Much to Abby's discomfort.

Webisode: Harpers Globe is a series of small videos made to show some of the weird goings on before and during the official episodes. It’s also shown that likely most - if not all - the island locals were killed too (the finale mentions, in addition to the four main survivors, a couple of locals survived as well).

Offscreen Teleportation
 Harper's Island / int_c691d3f4
comment
Offscreen Teleportation: Not abused to the extent of Friday the 13th and its ilk, but this trope is still there. Justified to some degree by the fact that the killer uses Prohibition-esque tunnels to move unobserved about the island. And even with that consideration, the trope pops up. At one point the gang, running from the killer, huddle in the church, in a group, in a wide-open area, with all of them clearly visible. Two or three seconds later: "Where's Chloe?" They discover that she'd been snatched into those tunnels; however, the trap door leading to said tunnels has a large pew parked on top. And in Beth's disappearance, the killer takes her into the tunnel system and manages to replace a trolley in front of the door after they've gone. Also Justified in that for most of the series there are two people doing the killings.

Freudian Excuse: Henry's whole reason for going psycho is that he was given up for adoption by his mother... a.k.a. Abby's mother. While this is what sends him completely over the edge, Henry mentions that he had homicidal urges (and that he admired Wakefield) before he discovered Wakefield was his father and Abby's mother his mother.

comment
Artistic License – Geography: The show claims the island is "37 miles off the coast of Seattle". If you check a map, you will be surprised to find that 37 miles off the coast of Seattle's is... more land. Funny how the Puget Sound works.

Pinball Protagonist: Abby, who has little bearing on the events for the first twelve and a half episodes. Then she kills Henry at the end of episode thirteen.

comment
Spotting the Thread: Abby realises that Henry is lying when he claims not to have seen Sully, when Abby knows that the pair spoke to the coast guard together over the radio. Sadly, it's a bit late at that point.

Dwindling Party
 Harper's Island / int_ed68bcc9
comment
Dwindling Party: One of the defining parts of the show's premise was the fact that there would always be atleast one person killed in each episode. The commercials especially played this up, showing the cast, then removing the faces one at a time to a child-like chorus of "One by one..."

Obvious Villain, Secret Villain: John Wakefield committed a massacre twenty years ago then vanished. So is he behind the copycat crimes? Yes. But so is Henry, his son who has posed as the loving groom while killing people so he can be alone with Abby, the real target of his obsession.

Libation for the Dead: After Jimmy is apparently killed when the marina explodes, Shane drinks a Scotch despite the fact that he obviously doesn't like it. When asked why, he says that it's because Jimmy drank scotch, and he's having a drink for Jimmy.
