Goofs
In the episode The Prophet (2.21) Melinda states that Andrea died in a plane crash that occurred on May 11. May 11 is a big day for disasters, as it's mentioned numerous times. Later, in the episode Book of Changes (4.23), Andrea's name is followed with 8204, which reversed is supposed to be her date of death, which would be April 28, not May 11 as previously stated.

As an actual mystic, who has had a lot of these types of experiences, I have to say that this is the best show of it's kind and it is the most emotionally honest and truthful. I like "Medium" too, but Arquette is always so snotty. Believe me, people would stop listening to her damned quickly if she went around with that attitude in real life. "Medium" never moves me on the same emotional level as "the Ghost Whisperer" does.
Hewitt is emotionally honest and very accurate to the behavior of a real mystic. Real mysticism has very little to do with ego, and Hewitt's humble and caring character is exactly the sort of person that she would need to be in order to speak to people on this deep of an emotional level.
