PHRASE OF THE DAY: THE DANIELS DILEMMA

When the watcher of a mystery or detective movie or television show is capable of identifying the murderer or perpetrator of the crime based upon the star power of the guest or co-star.

Origin of the phrase: Jeff Daniels co-staring role as 'Jasper 'Buddy' Noone' in the the 2002 Clint Eastwood movie BLOOD WORK.

While watching the 10/28/10 episode of the Mentalist:
"Is that Arye Gross playing the family doctor? This is a 'Daniels Dilemma', Arye is totally the killer."
