People need to know that Monday@9 is turning into a "for general audiences" timeslot. It used to be "THE love story" slot, but that's changed in a past few years. Either way, their goal is to attract as many viewers as possible, not to create a real crime-solving mystery.
The whole point is how the crime was done, not who anyway.
There are a bit too many plotholes, but hey, you're not supposed to think too seriously for this series.
This series is more of a comedy genre than a mystery.
And yeah, calculations... Absolutely not required to do it on the spot, but something needs to be calculated in every single episode to prove it possible.

what I do love about Galileo is why yukawa is as he is (childhood epxeriences, etc.) and how utsumi's charecter affects him, her being his complete opposite..
the doodling part more of reflects yukawa's character, someone who needs everything to be equated.. any OC would understand..
but I for one believe that not everything can be explained through science.. yukawa has yet to experience a case that science cannot solve... that would be really interesting..

Ah, my mistake, I was actually talking about episode 6 in my comment. In that episode, the solution to the mystery involved pattern recognition, not math. He sees the house and window and matches it up to the illustrated images he had seen previously. In that case the contrived computation by Yukawa actually drew the audience away from the crucial clue to the puzzle, because it tended to fool them into believing that the solution was abstract when in fact it was purely visual.seirin wrote: hmm... I think it does require some physics.
And you are right in saying that episode 5 involved physics. But whether a bow generates sufficient torque to strangle an adult male isn't something you would compute. It's something you would measure using instruments. Also, the more critical issue of the mystery was not a question of how much, how strong, how long, etc., but a question of just plain how. It was a mechanical, not a mathematical mystery. It's the very kind of mystery that Edogawa Conan routinely solves without need for fancy equations. It's also the most fun to watch because it is usually proven through a re-enactment (which Yukawa did in fact perform to solve the mystery). So I still have an issue with the bogus equation writing in episode 5 as well. So far, the only episodes where I can believe sophisticated arithmetic was actually necessary were episodes 1 and 4. Episode 1 involved adding up several angles of deflection, wavelength over distance, etc. Episode 4 involved ultrasound frequencies in a fluid medium, among other things.
Don't get me wrong though. I like the show in general. My criticism is directed at a very tiny part of what has otherwise been a satisfying whole. I just wish they'd lose the contrived equation writing because it's excessively histrionic. And in the case of episode 6, it was downright misleading.

For ep. 5, as an engineer myself I do believe you need to come up with an hypothesis, ie a starting point. w/o doing some initial calculations, you're just basically using trial and error via the measurements until you find the solution, which is not very productive imo.
As for the comment about ep. 2, I don't believe it's a waste of tax payer's money to go thru all the exercises. The wrong man is being accused; he may be detained as long as possible for the DA to build a case based on circumstantial evidence, or be released in God knows when.
And about all the crimes not requiring Yukawa's expertise; sure it's all undergrad Physics + other courses, but as a (tenured?) Physics professor he should know these by heart. I don't know how US universities work these days, but while I was an undergrad even the most prominent professors are req'd to teach at least 1 undergrad course per semester (and yes it does include Physics 101), which is standard practice for all Ivy league schools. I guess big schools like UC Berkerley may be different, but It's not like he's performing the experiment all by himself; he has research assistants to do all the grunt work for him. Plus they did mention he's well versed in Smolin's LQG theory, which means his research probably involves quantum mechanics and general relativity.
As a parting comment, I'd like to mention that the scripts for the past few episodes have really gone downhill. Ep. 7 has major plot holes, which is not surprising since the script is written by the same guy who wrote Liar Game. There he introduced tons of plot holes and logic gaffes into an otherwise fairly full proof story from a manga. I highly doubt these exist in the original novel; just hope they can get back on track with the principal writer (who wrote the first 4 episodes) for the remaining episodes.

I agree that the important thing is how, but to prove the 'how' you still need a re-enactment, and that's where the calculations would come in. Yes, he doesn't have to do that on the spot; a person of his stature would probably only do an impromptu act like that if it's something really puzzling and complicated, which in this case it isn't (he should have a fairly good idea that it's feasible).joeboygo wrote:concertmistress:

So basically I agree w/ you on getting rid of the equations-scribbling scenes, for on occasions like in ep. 6, instead of looking cool it would have the exact opposite effect.
My interpretation of that wasjoeboygo wrote:Also, to seirin, about episode 5:
Indeed, this is the case of most detective mysteries. I guess the reenactments are a kind of innovation and fun to watch but it's really just gratuitous.

The reenactment of the crime is my favorite part of a mystery story, because I prefer to be shown how a crime was committed instead of just being told. Reenactments also have more dramatic potential because the audience to the demonstration usually iincludes a skeptical or doubtful character whose skepticism is suddenly replaced by amazement when the hero's demonstration proves all doubts wrong. Reenactments are especially fun in stories that involve the classic locked/sealed room conundrum, because they are all set up to look impossible at first glance. A good sealed room mystery is extremely difficult to construct, which is why for the best mystery writers, these types of stories are the most persuasive demonstrations that their imagination is better than yours. If the mystery is not well constructed, you will either see the solution from miles away, or the reenactment will not be persuasive. Usually, reenactments fail to persuade because the same result is not guaranteed to happen each time. That is one of my problems with episode 5 becauseauroragb wrote: Indeed, this is the case of most detective mysteries.

Ah, another Meitantei Conan fan I see...as simple as that solution is (and the author claims he always performs the re-enactment to ensure they're feasible before writing it into the story), I can also make the same claim as you did about episode 5 that it's not 100% full proof. The notebook could have collapsed prematurely, and more likey the cassette tape could get stuck or not rewound properly during the rewinding process (having hundreds of cassette tapes I know how often tapes can get stuck for no apparent reason).joeboygo wrote:For me, one of the best reenactments ever can be found in Volume 19, chapter 1 of Meitantei Conan (although the story arc actually begins in Vol. 18, ch.6). In the anime you can see it in episode 129. It is the story arc in which Haibara Ai makes her first appearance.
My point is any scenario has an element of luck involved and is never 100% full proof, the key is to maximize the probability that it'll succeed and that's all you can hope for.

@joeboygo- there are plenty of reenactment styles. One of my faves is the literal reenactment, where the original actors go thru the motions as one narrates and another either doubts or corrects the narration and hence the action. Sometimes they're particularly funny when the re-enactors break the fourth wall on the narrators
narrator: and she holds his hand over her breasts
re-enactor: No, I don't! Stop that! *slaps narrator*
really? I thought the second string did it cuz it left a deeper mark. Hmm..maybe I should rewatch his explanation again.joeboygo wrote:concertmistress:

Yeah!! Shingo was good ehhe He made me laugh so hard LOL I thought...that's exactly what she does and it's so annoying ^^; Goro did a funny job of exaggerating Yukawa too ^^;TabooxNightmare wrote:Galileo is a rocky boat for me. Started out good, got a bit meh towards the middle, got better again, and now I'm standing here feeling a bit lost because it's nearly over and I wished for more character development in general.
Shingo is a great Utsumi btw xD Don't you think?
I don't know what you mean by character development. If you mean between the 2 characters, I really don't find how they would match. He has nothing to discuss with her other than the case. Intellectually, she's not up to his level. Like he said, he wants someone he can talk to along his level. Physically, I don't think he finds her all that attractive. So if it's not mental or physical attraction I dunno what could develop from there.
But it would be interesting to hear Yukawa's story.
Yeah this isn't exactly a show that allows for character development anyways being a case by case format. That is usually the biggest problem with these kind of dramas but Galileo is pretty entertaining regardless.
Figures about the smapxsmap clip, I saw that paris hilton was the guest this week and decided not to download it That was the best skit they've done in a long long time, C=CCB!

Episode 9 looks pretty cool, high expectations for the finale
Unfortunately, no A/S-class actor as guest... At least it's a S-class MC/News caster.
Kume Hiroshi is an interesting choice though, he has the mysterious-evil aura too, perfect for the role. His last dorama appearance was back in '70s o_O!
What I would like to see in the finale:
1. Yukawa getting a wrong conclusion before finding out the truth, 2 "sudden inspiration" scenes.
2. 3rd "Sudden inspiration" scene recalling many conversations with Utsumi in the very end, where Yukawa finally finds out that Utsumi has feelings for him.
3. He wrote equations on a police car window once, and scribbled on asphalt with a rock once... I want to see him wreak havok by scribbling random equations on a police car with a rock or equivalent outrageous damage

me in contrary, i like the lead girl. she's cute, stubborn and smart regardless. the guy is a genius, ok, but he's not someone of unreachable level, so some rabu scenes are coming up for sure. do you know "unlike poles attract each other" ?? anyway why this genius guy has to write equations everywhere, me don't think it's correct
yeah,I was thinking about that too.Maybe in the movie,if not in the drama?kiddygrade wrote:Just to know: one of the last tracks on Galileo OST is called "Yukawa Manabu x Utsumi Kaoru" and is definitely soft and lovey-dovey. Can we consider it a spoiler?

I found these clips of a programme called "Our Music" on YouTube where KOH+ was the guest and they were talking and (I'm guessing) Shibasaki Kou interviewed Fukuyama Masaharu and vice-versa,and then they performed "KISS shite" and Masha performed the Galileo OP theme(which was pretty cool to watch).Would love to know what they were saying though,if anybody would be kind enough to share a translation or a summary would be sufficient.Oneigashimasu anybody? m(__)m

It was kinda weird to see the both of them in such a relaxed atmosphere and casually laughing with each other,could see that they have a comfortable relationship between them.Oh and because they shot it at the Galileo set so that was kinda fun to see too. Especially watching "Yukawa-sensei" with his glasses rocking the guitar
More than any other actress I've seen, this girl's looks can shift radically from one extreme to the other depending on her coifure. When properly styled she's very pretty, but on a bad hair day she's an absolute dog. I watched her in this airline series (forgot the title) where she and Kimutaku worked for ANA, and I thought at the time she was quite the looker. But then I saw her in Orange Days with those mute girl bangs - ugh!8thSin wrote:Disaster with her hair -_-;
The one with Kimutaku was Good Luck!!
I don't remember exactly how she looked in Orange Days, but I didn't think her hairstyle was that bad there...
I think she looks best in ponytail. She was in ponytail the whole time during GL!! too, if I'm not mistaken.
She had a perm in Yomigaeri too. I don't think she's ever succeeded with perm

I have a theory about the annoying scrawling of equations -- which I agree can't possibly be helpful in any real sense. I think he uses it as a sort of focusing device; they may or may not be related to his theories regarding the case, but he just uses the action of writing them out to center himself while he thinks. Just an idea...

The reasoning is fairly logical I would say.
Symbolizing the use of probability and chaos theory in defining most likely scenario for seveal random events to occur while considering facts and hypothesis in deducing the most probable suspect.
or as they say in the armed forces, and other smilar places using this on a daily basis;
"game-theory"
The trouble with the phony equations isn't an issue of plot-related substance, but one of style, or lack thereof, in the presentation. Fukuyama is an idiosyncratic character, we all know that by now. If he needs to do something strange in order to function, like say, scribbling irrelevant pseudo-computations, we can easily buy that. The problem is, do we have to watch him do this in the same overwrought sequence each freakin episode?Shymsal wrote:I have a theory about the annoying scrawling of equations -- which I agree can't possibly be helpful in any real sense.

Just an idea...
For me, the fiasco with the pretend-arithmetic is the director's fault, not the writers. The director has chosen to use gimmicky cutscenes of Fukuyama dashing out bogus quadratics as a visual marker for the "eureka" moment of each episode. In almost every mystery story, the "eureka" moment is that point where the protagonist declares he/she has the answer. Simultaneously, it is a signal from the storyteller to the audience that he/she has laid out all the clues necessary to solve the riddle, and is inviting you to figure things out on your own just before the sleuth blows the case wide open. The "eureka" moment is a servicable convention because it allows the audience to easily judge if the mystery was logical and fair. But in this case the visual signal for the eureka moment - Fukuyama melodramatically pretending to compute - is either puerile or retarded, take your pick. Over-production worsens the problem, what with all the vortex effects, overlaid graphics and triumphant bg music drawing even more undue attention to random alphanumeric scribblings that everybody knows don't mean squat. It's especially incongrous here because on one hand, the writers went through all the trouble to craft a well-researched scientific mystery to stimulate the viewer's intelligence and imagination. Then on the other hand, the director insults the very same intelligence the writers worked so hard to cultivate by adopting a visual conceit that is just plain stupid yet not at all embarrassed or shy about itself. For all that trouble, a simple "yappari" or something (maybe coupled with that finger over the glasses thing Fukuyama does) would probably have been more effective.

I stopped paying attention to his scribbling a long time ago. (They aren't showing the whole calculation anyways, why should I follow it.) I do remember in the episode where the boy saw the red car from across the river, he did indeed write something that look like Snell's law to me. And in the episode where they were trying to solve the lady that hung herself, I sort of remember him starting to write Bernoulli's law on the clear glass inside the company lounge. I think the equations are meant to be relevant to the physics behind the cases. To the general public, the calculations meant squat and could probably be omitted after the first few episodes.joeboygo wrote:

I thought those were his neurons firing. Is that what you are talking about, the vortex? The neuron soma (cell body) is globular and it has extensions that connects to other neurons. I suppose it is their feeble attempt to show Yukawa's brain is working.joeboygo wrote:Over-production worsens the problem, what with all the vortex effects, overlaid graphics and triumphant bg music drawing even more undue attention to random alphanumeric scribblings that everybody knows don't mean squat.
I am not bother by the "eureka" moments because it is quiet short. So overall, it didn't really take away from my enjoyment of the show. If it were longer though, that would be different story.

@All, the scribble scrabble didn't affected me as much as it did to some viewers. The reason probably is because I hate both physics and Chemistry equally!!! Galileo is very interesting and I am glad there's english subtitle for it!!!

that was played alot in the drama, like almost on every
episode, but its not in the OST
does anyone know that music ?
i recorded few seconds of it from an episode of the drama
does anyone know where i can get this song/music ?

hehe.. this is another jdrama that i loved!!
every episode was a worth-watching story... love it soo muchh!
and as well as the cast...
but i hoped that their lovestory was well developed in the latter part of the story...
but still,i really liked the whole drama itself!!

Hope there's a 2nd season if not at least a special or two seeing how popular the series was because it had high ratings I'll probably happen. Also looking forward to the movie.
Edit: Forgot to mentioned that this series for some reason reminded me of Trick series but in a much more series tone. The characters are contrast of each other but yet fit well together and also how they try to solve mystery/supernatural stuff like in Trick series. Hopefully there are more seasons so that they can built on the romance like it did in Trick love how they got together in the very end woot!

A SPECIAL EPISODE!! Can't wait!!
"Galileo" gets SP on same day as film's release
Fri, August 22, 2008 (12:59am EDT)
Fans of the drama series "Galileo" have one more thing to look forward to. Anticipation is already high for the "Yougisha x no Kenshin" movie, opening in theaters on October 4. Now, Fuji TV is turning it into a double dose: a one-shot special titled "Galileo: Episode Zero" will be aired on the same day as the film's release.
The special is set 3 years prior to the drama series, with the story being related to a murder case that was partly referenced in the original show. Detective Kusanagi (Kazuki Kitamura) is looking to solve a murder mystery, and he gets back in touch with his former badminton teammate, the brilliant professor Manabu Yukawa (Masaharu Fukuyama).
The special will also portray an incident from Yukawa's college days. Popular teen actor Haruma Miura plays the young Yukawa.
Other cast members include Masami Nagasawa as a student lab assistant and Karina as a mysterious woman tied to the murder case. Fuji TV will broadcast the drama at 9:00pm on October 4.

Fri, August 22, 2008 (12:59am EDT)
Fans of the drama series "Galileo" have one more thing to look forward to. Anticipation is already high for the "Yougisha x no Kenshin" movie, opening in theaters on October 4. Now, Fuji TV is turning it into a double dose: a one-shot special titled "Galileo: Episode Zero" will be aired on the same day as the film's release.
The special is set 3 years prior to the drama series, with the story being related to a murder case that was partly referenced in the original show. Detective Kusanagi (Kazuki Kitamura) is looking to solve a murder mystery, and he gets back in touch with his former badminton teammate, the brilliant professor Manabu Yukawa (Masaharu Fukuyama).
The special will also portray an incident from Yukawa's college days. Popular teen actor Haruma Miura plays the young Yukawa.
Other cast members include Masami Nagasawa as a student lab assistant and Karina as a mysterious woman tied to the murder case. Fuji TV will broadcast the drama at 9:00pm on October 4.

I'm also disappointed there will be no Utsumi x Yukawa quarrel in the prequel SP but at least there is a SP to keep us refreshed and comfy before the movie's DVD release date. It's going to be a long wait for that one. Will SARS fansub both the SP and movie when raws become available? Either way, I am super excited!
