Stitchers - A Stitcher in the Rye

The latest episode of Stitchers not only introduces Kirsten (Emma Ishta) to the woman whose job she took over but also makes the new Stitcher aware that the program’s true purpose may not be to solve minds by romping through the memories of dead people. “A Stitcher in the Rye” begins with the murder of a former agent of the CIA turned conspiracy nut and food truck vendor (you know, basically a lateral career move). Discovering the man was in possession of Stitcher code sends Kirsten on a mission to find the mole within the group and leads her directly to Marta (Tiffany Hines) who attempts to impart some knowledge about the organization they both work for before she commits suicide because a member of the super-secret government organization she’s been trying to expose since waking from a coma asks her to.

Stitchers - I See You

“I See You” is the least-objectionable episode of Stitchers to date as Kirsten (Emma Ishta) enters the mind of a murdered peeping tom living in apartment below Cameron (Kyle Harris) hoping to find answers as to why he was killed. The set-up, and the twist revealing the unusual nature of the victim’s interaction to those he watched, give the episode a more interesting storyline to explore rather than a straightforward murder (although the final twist involving the human trafficking angle is so rushed it lacks the emotional weight necessary to make it all work).

Stitchers - Connections

Perhaps realizing how short of run the series is likely to have given the quality of writing so far Stitchers wastes no time to start pairing off characters into romantic relationships while beginning to explore the mystery of the lives who created the program and continuing to underline the dangers of it as Kirsten (Emma Ishta) becomes lost in her latest stitch unable to separate her own feelings from that of a victim (Hina Abdullah) whose husband (Michael Grant Terry) looks guilty for her murder.

Stitchers - Friends in Low Places

Wow, is this show stupid. The second episode of Stitchers finds Kirsten (Emma Ishta) betrayed multiple times by her new teammates inside the Stitcher program, completely misdiagnose and ignore the fact that she has all the leverage in the relationship, and then (totally against every aspect of her character presented over the two episodes) forgive the betrayal that nullifies the only incentive she had to join the program to begin with. And in the course of a murder investigation she’d rather not be involved with she will reveal the existence of the program to another outsider and put her new tech friends in danger yet again without even realizing the possible consequences of her actions. You know for a smart girl she can be remarkably dim at times, but given the level of writing on the show it seems she is in good company.

Stitchers - A Stitch in Time

ABC Family’s new sci-fi procedural stars Emma Ishta as a young woman with a unique psychological disorder that limits her friendships and career opportunities but makes her the ideal candidate for a secret government organization miles under a mediocre Chinese restaurant whose purpose is to enter the minds of the recently-deceased to solve crimes and prevent future tragedies. Um, okay. Kirsten’s Temporal Dysplasia, a fancy way of saying she is unable to tell the passage of time making emotional reaction or connection difficult for her, gives her an advantage (in a way that’s never properly explained) to work an experimental technology knowing as Stiching (that’s equally circumspect) that puts a living brain inside that of a recent dead one to find important facts before the brain completely degrades (okay now you’re just making shit up, right?).
