The Last Episode

[juanruiz-65679 · 9/10 · 12 October 2018]

This was the last episode of the series. I'd be interested in knowing where the writers were going to take it had it been renewed.

One thread brought out here was Melinda's inability to recognize ghosts. She does this at least twice here. Also, the building of emphasis on her son, which is seen in the last 5 minutes. In fact, the whole of the episode moves towards an Armageddon, Shinies vs. Shadows, which lasts about 10 seconds.

I really liked this series. Mainly because the writers loved to throw out red herrings to the viewers. Going all the way back to Season 1, what seemed to be true, wasn't.

But, there were also major problems:

Characters just disappeared: the demon who caused the airplane crash, Gabriel, the professor who didn't even show up for Jim's funeral.

Jim's death and subsequent resurrection. What happened to Sam?

A five-year jump in time. And way too much emphasis on the son.

But, above all, this was a love story of Melinda and Jim. "No! Not you! Please. Not you" was heart-breaking.

Solid finish

Not a bad wrap-up for a series that went off the rails a couple of seasons back. Ghosts are once again haunting the hospital where Melinda's hubby works, so Melinda steps in to see what she can do. This leads to an encounter with the spirit of a boy who refuses to move on, in the mistaken belief that he is protecting a bunch of ghost children who were all hospital patients and died there. An eerie thumping is periodically heard throughout the hospital, and it relates to these children. I will say no more for fear of giving it all away. But let us say it all leads up to an encounter between Melinda and this ghost "army," at which point the source of the loud thumping is made clear. Fortunately, the Hunchback of Notre Dame has less to do or say in this episode, as he is having an oral problem. I'm not sure Hewitt knew she was about to be canceled, but this episode neatly wraps up a number of loose ends, thank goodness. And the show will live on in reruns on at least two channels that I know of. If you're new to the series, keep an eye out for episodes from the first three or so years. After that, it was strictly downhill for this series. Problems began when Melinda's hunky husband was killed and immediately brought back to life in another man's body. And Melinda's college prof buddy, played by the great Jay Mohr, was replaced by Hewitt's real-life beau, whom I choose to call Quasimodo. He began popping up in so many scenes, one has to wonder if he was now the star of the series. Mohr's abrupt departure was a huge loss for the show. Anyhow, for those who enjoyed the flawed but intriguing SILENT HILL, this episode should definitely please you. It has a similar feel to that surrealistic ghost flick.

Bye Ghosts... :-(

Someone can think that Jamie Kennedy (Hewitt's beau in these moment) could be "Hunchback of Notre Dame". Well, it's good to know that ==he can't open his mouth in this episode==. I liked Jay Mohr much more than Kennedy. Kennedy seems a robot when he moves through, with a few mechanical movements. Mohr could be as prickly as Kennedy, but he finds the comic way more easily than Kennedy.

But shows go in their own way, and for me it's really a pity that this show have been canceled. May ghosts convince the TV channels so that they start a new season of Ghost Whisperer (it's a good idea for a script, isn't it?).

The lamest of the Apocalypse

So, we had to get drown in xian propaganda.

Wassisname kid is Jesus, leading the shiney angels against the hordes devils, and you better believe it, or you'll burn in Heck amongst immortal worms, or something.

Oh, and the Earth is actualy flat.
