Hey guys! :)
This has been a question of mine since it was revealed that Josie was the shooter. What do you think her motivations for shooting Cooper were? Do you think it was because Cooper was an FBI agent and she didn't want elements of her past to be known to others? Or for another reason? It is never really explained and I was wondering what you guys think.

Thanks! :)

Also why do you think she was involved with Harry? Do you think she geniunely cared for him, or it was her trying attain some kind of normal relationship with a man? Or was she just using him for her own benefit?

I've always had mixed feelings about her character. I think she geniunely cared for Harry, but she had way too much baggage to and underlying issues to do the right thing. She would take the easy way out in a lot of situations.

Haha! Yeah you're totally right. It all caught up with her in the end, manipulating too many people. I think she is a very interesting character and I liked how most of the time you didn't know whether to respect her for the vulnerabilty and sort of 'femme fatale' aspects of her character or hate her for it.

Honestly, it was a really stupid decision. I mean, logically shooting of FBI agent would attract attention of the Berau and lead to even more thorough investigation of the town citizens?

Probably, Josie couldn't think clearly at that point.

I also have a feeling that initially Lynch and Frost didn't know themselves who shot Cooper and came with Josie's involvment later.

I definitely share this feeling!

Of course Josie's motivation must have been "because you came", because you would find out, because she had a lot to lose. But yeah... that doesn't make that much sense, does it?

I think that while the revealing of Josie as the assailant brought a couple of good scenes (the tension between Harry and Coop&Albert, Cooper's difficult choices of friendship vs. duties, the way in which Harry gradually loses control over the situation and gets more and more frustrated - there's a lot of good stuff there), the idea itself was rather lame. I really don't think Lynch and Frost knew from the start who shot Cooper!

well, in both instances those were shots used in pilot episodes for an intended soap opera/serial.   They don't fully know what is going to happen down the road -just an idea where a character might go. I believe at this time, Josie was an intended love interest for Cooper.  Probably an idea of having good material for the three of the four leads (machlachlan, otkean, chen and laurie were the special credit leads).

I tend to agree though.  When writing the first season finale, the concern was probably more focused on giving a huge cliffhanger to ensure being picked up with little thought to who the culprit was.
