this one had some decent parts...the first appearance of the ghost woman and the way she moved up until she disappears was creepy as hell, for example. this story could have been 15-20 minutes long, though. it just goes on and on and on. it gets to the point that it's annoying how clumsily paced it is. the final "payoff" at the end isn't even good enough to sit through this entire episode to see. i only forced myself to get through it so that i didn't have to watch it again. this was probably my least favorite episode of the second season. this is really saying something, too, because the second season had some weaker episodes.
