Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When showing the "assassin expression" to the audience at the beginning of the episode, Dr. Lightman claims that the third picture belongs to "a Basque separatist, getting on a bus with 20 pounds of explosives strapped to his chest". Basque terrorists never do suicide attacks.

Quotes:

Dr. Gillian Foster: Only you would suggest canceling a wedding ten minutes before it starts.
Dr. Cal Lightman: It was just a suggestion.

Lie to Me continues its ridiculously hot start

Lie to Me is truly something. It came out of the gates roaring and it hasn't slowed down yet. Another great episode, more solid performances. The cast is strong and the characters are starting to take shape. The scripts continue to be strong. The actual plot lines (who did it and why) are ultimately a bit simplistic, but frankly it really doesn't matter. In fact, in this episode the twists were good. It was quite suspenseful. I really didn't see the end coming at all. Here comes the spoiler bit: My one critique would be that the bride's character could have been a little more fleshed out. I think the whole story about here changing her name and why she did it was a little thin. One might have been able to find something more there. But it worked just fine as is. I must say, I'm really enjoying this show.
