Only Murders in The Building
- Thread starter Mojochi
- Start date
The G-woman's grandparents on her dad's side had about a dozen kids over twenty years, meaning her oldest uncle was old enough to be her youngest uncle's father.
Same thing happened with my dad's parents, on a smaller scale. My oldest uncle had kids in school only a couple years behind with my youngest uncle and one of the principals assumed the kids were my youngest uncle's siblings.
Sometimes a renting scheme is just a renting scheme...albeit with a weird twist of an assisted suicide and a incinerator funeral to help protect the emotions of a character barely known about.
But now we're suppose to believe Glen may have killed Sazz. However, he cannot be the one who sent the "I'm watching you" messages since he was unconscious from the studio shooting. Unless we're suppose to believe it was all some kind of masterful plan of timed-release messages delivered after a hired gun shot up the studio, including Glen, in order to provide himself a viable alibi. Even as wonky and twisty as this show often is (especially after how it just neatly wiggled the Westies out of suspicion), I feel like that's too much of a stretch.
Two episodes left, one to show that that Sazz's murderer isn't Glen and one to show who it really is. But who's left at this point?

I did say a few weeks ago that it'd be nuts if the actor who played last season's victim played this season's killer?
That was sweet, weird but sweet. I liked Chekov's Lady Longoria
One question re the Westies, they still haven't explained Vince Fish's swapping eyepatch have they?
As for who’s left…
Bev Melons? She was in Sazz’s trampoline camp.
Jan? Once a killer always a killer
Howard? It’s always the person you least expect.
Uma? Along with Howard the only person who was definitely around in season 1 apart from…
Det Williams? They have done the detective as killer before though.
The Brothers Sisters after all?
Glenn in cahoots with someone else? Maybe the other stunt artists?
The return of someone like Teddy Dimas (though I can’t remember what happened, did he get arrested?)
Also surely it’d be Oliver he most wanted to kill.
It has to be someone we’ve met surely?
Are there 2 episodes left? Will they unmask the killer at Oliver and Loretta’s wedding? Actually I didn’t mention Loretta as the killer. That would be a bit trite though.

Oliver and Loretta are getting married in the building? Presumably in the season finale, after the case is wrapped up? Umm, good luck with that...
Um, yeah...unless Streep is now a permanent cast member I have a bad feeling about this.
Based on this week's flashbacks, I think it's assumed at this point that it's simply a case of an ongoing gag. He got Jumping Pink Eye because of the Arconia.
I did suggest awhile back that she could potentially be the next victim...so why not possibly the killer, too?
But I would also hate to lose Uma. I love her misery. Isn't that awful?
We've seen him pop up since the first season, I think serving probation. I certainly hope he gets the chance to appear again this season (I still lament that we didn't get a Nathan Lane/Matthew Broderick scene last season...) but I seriously doubt he would return out of nowhere as the killer.
I think that's the thing, the show has never been the kind of murder mystery that springs a killer from out of nowhere at the last minute. We've seen the killer(s), probably multiple times.
If we eliminate the Westies (and I'm still not 100% convinced they're all innocent) then it still seems possible that the sniper knew Dudenoff given they used his apartment as their sniper's nest, although that could be pure coincidence because they were looking for an empty apartment in line with Charles' place but it would be a hell of a coincidence that sisters who studied under Dudenoff wound up directing the Only Murders film.
I also still wonder if Charles wasn't the target all along. It's a heck of a stretch for someone to set up a sniper shot in the hopes that Sazz would wander into Charles's apartment on her own. Charles walking into his apartment is far more likely.
I will be surprised if there's a single killer. Even setting aside the difficulties of someone rushing from the West tower to Charles' apartment in record time, if Glen is involved then someone else had to be the one to shoot him, perhaps to shut him up? And even if Glen isn't involved then someone maybe had to be around to tip the sniper off to Sazz heading upstairs.
My brain hurts!

That means the show is doing it right!
Ooh! Good thought!
Well even though it was painfully obvious who the stuntman was, that still managed to be incredibly enjoyable. From Oliver and Charles on fine form, and Mabel at her most exasperated at Oliver and Charles, to the A-list star, an unexpected death and the realisation of why Sazz was murdered!
I was literally screaming at Mabel at the end. Why confront him there and then!
Also the sight of Short and Martin in those suits is going to be making me laugh for a very long time.
And Paul Rudd
Anyway, were are all right about the killer, though I was hoping for a last minute twist if I'm honest.

manages to play two different characters and be murdered in two separate seasons! I wonder if they can contrive to bring him back a third time?

So I was right about the "when did you grow the beard" line from Glen all those weeks ago being a clue. Still not sure why he called Marshall "lassie" though.
What else is real!?!?!?!?
The hair?
We finally have the truth and it breaks my heart that Sazz died because she wrote a brilliant script to adapt the podcast and Marshall was so damn desperate to make it big. Everything clicks into place now (and better than how season three concluded, I feel).
Aside from Mabel escaping Marshall, his inevitable arrest or death, and concluding with Oliver and Loretta's wedding (and probably one final hurrah for Sazz), I'm not sure what else there is to be covered. I can't really see any more twists coming out but there certainly has to be something for the finale aside extensive denouements.
Oh, wait. Jan is still on the loose!
Maybe she murders Marshall. There's the twist. I'm calling it now.

Again, great catch on that moment. Considering Marshall had long blond hair at the time, no doubt Glen actually thought Marshall was a woman.
I was also wondering if Jan would return to dispense justice.
I'm guessing there still might be a twist to come. After all we still have the issue of the sniper shooting Sazz then making it across to the other side of the building to dispose of the body. Marshall doesn't look that fast and frankly he's kinda awkward so I'm not ruling out him having an accomplice.*
I'm trying to remember, was he a student of Dudenoff as well? Is that how he knew about the apartment?
(* though additional suspects are limited. Unless there's a Prestige scenario going on and Marshall is twins? Other than that we're back to a Westie or one or both Brothers Sisters. The only other person who has popped up again is the owner of the stunt person's bar)
