Mysterious Ways: Difference between revisions

* [[90% of Your Brain]]: In "Handshake," a doctor says that a woman who receives mysterious messages when she's drunk has accessed "that ninety percent of the brain that no one really taps into."

* [[Air Guitar|Air Drums]]: Declan does this whenever someone is singing.

* [[Agent Scully]]: Both Peggy and Miranda fill this role much of the time.

* [[All Just a Dream]]: {{spoiler|"Logan Miller"}}, with the series' [[Or Was It a Dream?|typical last-minute twist ending]].

* [[Artistic License Music]]: Type 1 is averted and then played straight in "Free Spirit": in the first few scenes of Miranda playing the violin, the finger movements and bow strokes match the music, but when she plays later in the episode she's obviously faking. Since her face is only clearly shown in the later scene, the difference could be explained by the use of a [[Talent Double]].

* [[Cannot Tell a Joke]]: Miranda. In "Free Spirit," Declan writes out a joke to help her break the ice for an interview, and she reads it in a complete monotone.

* [[Censor Suds]]: When Miranda's in the bath in "Free Spirit."

* [[Christmas Episode]]: "The Last Dance."

* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: In "Listen":

'''Miranda:''' Yoda's Canadian? }}

** Probably on purpose, given Miranda's slight smirk after her deadpan delivery.

* [[Nice Hat]]: We'll be laughing forever at the fishing hat that was worn in one episode.

* [[Not Listening to Me, Are You?]]: At the beginning of "The Midas Touch," when Declan is trying to figure out how to get grant money for a trip to Belize:

'''Peggy:''' That's a good idea. }}

* [[Past Life Memories]]: Help drive the plot in "Twins" and "Stranger in the Mirror."

* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Declan's [http://i45.tinypic.com/xnzuvd.png secret weapon].

* [[Real After All]]: Most of the episodes end with there being a rational basis behind the miracle, however unlikely -- followed by a twist in the last two minutes suggesting that it actually was real.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: In "Phoenix," Declan follows a flight attendant onto her flight because he thinks she'll be part of a miracle on the plane. He makes a specific point of telling her what a coincidence it is that they are on the same flight together.

* [[Viking Funeral]]: Performed for a character in "Something Fishy," although they light the boat on fire with torches before setting it out to drift rather than doing the flaming arrow thing.

'''Miranda:''' Yep. }}

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: For all his good intentions, Declan can be a real jerk sometimes. He gets called out on his obnoxious manner and unconcern for others often by his two colleagues. The BEST example of this is in 1x16 "Yesterday", where [[Timey-Wimey Ball|on one occasion]] he causes Miranda to miss an important exam, and she comprehensively bitches him out in front of a crowded cafe. There is also a scene in the same episode where she and Peggy get together and just start listing his faults:

'''Peggy''': ...Oh ''yeah''. }}
