Fatal Posted October 25, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Is this show real? Or is everything just made-up/scripted? I mean it seems real to me but I don't know. Also, to get more of a discussion here, what is your favorite episode so far, and why? Edited October 25, 2008 by Shadow09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Serenity Posted October 26, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I, like other fans, do believe it's real. The haters believe it's scripted. It's debatable really. :/ It depends on your point of view I guess. x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamlyn Posted October 26, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 26, 2008 No way it's scripted. Those people are not actors. OR writers. It certainly can be annoying, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're not actors. I mean when things happen on that show, they seem they react pretty realistically. You can just tell. They all seem pretty truthful. And I can't wait for the one-hour special on Monday. Edited October 26, 2008 by Shadow09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROGER Posted October 26, 2008 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I am looking forward to Monday night as well. From the Promo's it looks good. And of course the next weeks read from all the NAY Sayers will be just as entertaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowdyDoo Posted October 26, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I was really cautious about joining the band wagon for this show, but I have to say it has grown on me. I really appreciate the work they're doing. They don't just investigate, they help the people get rid of the ghosts if they can. Doubtful that these kids are just really good actors. It seems too genuine. I'm a TAPS fan, but this show has surprised and impressed me. Yep, I'm on the band wagon now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regency Posted October 26, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I like Paranormal State, well it's growing on me, I prefer it to Most Haunted which isn't scripted but is really fake. Ryan's "Captain's Log" seems scripted and doesn't do the show any favours, but I can look past that as a whole. The stories are great and they go to some quite diverse locations, like to look for the Mothman, as well as hauntings. SOME of the folk who help Ryan let it down for me, it looks like they're trying not to laugh and as though they're not taking it seriously - Ryan can look like that himself sometimes.

Also, to get more of a discussion here, what is your favorite episode so far, and why? I like it and the people on it, I myself like their approach better than TAPS and their flipant dismissal of EVERYTHING ......so PS is my favorite...

Or I'm watching another show. ^^;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODIN-X Posted October 27, 2008 #11 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I think the show is ok. They seem to do more problem solving than other shows. I think my wife is in love with Ryan. I can not stand him though, he seems way to pretentious to me....There is a big chip on his shoulder and I wanna knock it off. Katrina on the other hand seems caring, intellegent and has a amazing smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I see Ryan as curious, thorough, and humble. The only one I dont care for is umm I forget her name, the Wiccan? Whats her name? My son loves Katrina too..

Dakotabre Posted October 28, 2008 #15 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Some on this thread have bashed TAPS saying they are worse cause they don't just 'believe' what the clients tell them, and that paraphrasing was true, however your comment of them just being plumbers... well, so what? Paranormal State are just kids/students! ... Is it not possible to have two jobs where you come from?? TAPS bases their shows on trying to capture scientific evidence, where as with Paranormal State, they automatically believe every client has a demon in their house and if you actually take all the episodes into count, paranormal State, actually hardly ever have any experiences at the homes or evidence, they base it soley on client's word! I watch Paranormal State for purely entertainment purposes, but I still enjoy watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterPo Posted October 28, 2008 #16 Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) It's real. Just like most shows some is staged or coriographed for lighting, camera angles etc. But it's not scripted. Still doesn't mean I accept everything on that show (or any other for that matter) however. Edited October 28, 2008 by MasterPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Only Posted October 28, 2008 #18 Share Posted October 28, 2008 My favorite on the show is Chip. He seems like a very good psychic, and seems really genuine. He keeps it simple and to the point, not really annoying like a lot of psychics. Maybe I'm just sick of seeing shady overweight women who look like witches...

Though I think he has a pretty funny name: Chip Coffey. Maybe he likes to eat chips and drink coffey alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROGER Posted October 28, 2008 #21 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Paranormal State is usually a half hour show. With commercials, that leaves about 20 minutes of the investigation shown out of a few days of work. If my life were on this type of time table the show would be of me in the bathroom for 20 minutes and thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch Paranormal State for purely entertainment purposes, but I still enjoy watching it. No they don't. Not always. >>; There's only like five or six episodes they've done that. Counting last night's episode. -- Last night's episode was scary. I watched some parts of it and I changed the channel when I get scared. I just didn't want to scared. I'm going to research that "thing." It was freaky too. I couldn't last night because of it. Edited October 28, 2008 by MoonPrincess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahN Posted October 28, 2008 #23 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'm starting to like this show. The last few episodes have been pretty good. I'm more of a TAPS fan though. I like that they are taking a more scientific approach than a religious/spiritual one. Anyway, it doesn't seem to be scripted to me. My favorite on the show is Chip. He seems like a very good psychic, and seems really genuine. I agree. I saw him in a couple Psychic Kids episodes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWarrior Posted October 28, 2008 #24 Share Posted October 28, 2008 meh its okay. better than Most Haunted. but im not to sure its real. dont get me wrong i enjoy the show. but it just seems some parts are scripted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Sullivan Posted October 29, 2008 #25 Share Posted October 29, 2008 It's all right. I'm more of a TAPS fan. It's still better than Most Haunted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
