Some good stuff, some not.

What happened to Ghost Whisperer? I mean really, having Jennifer Love Hewitt pole dancing to boost ratings? I'm not complaining, but come on, the show is capable of so much more than this. When they have supernatural stuff going on such as paranoia, ghost attacks and other crazy things, the show is just so fun, but when the drama is believable, the series is not too entertaining. The opening five minutes of this episode revolved around a surgery? Really?

I did like seeing Duck from Mad Men as Jim's superior though, and would like him to stick around, although that seems unlikely.moreless

Ghost Whisperer enters even further into its awkward teenage phase.

2.0

By vorpal22, Nov 07, 2009

How has this show fallen so far? What used to be a cute tear jerker with touching and realistic relationships between the main characters has completely deteriorated over the course of two or three seasons into a ridiculous story arc that continuously gets worse and worse; this episode really epitomized just how bad this show has become for me. I frankly can't see where they're going with this nonsense, but it's painful to watch, and this episode was the worst I've seen yet, I think. The mythology that they're trying to establish just isn't particularly interesting nor does it stay true to the roots of the show.

Frankly, although it's probably too late now, they should revert back to their original winning formula. What they're doing now merely serves to alienate their original target audience. Furthermore, not every show on TV needs to become the next Lost. I'll continue watching in the hopes that it grows into something interesting, but I'm sincerely skeptical that that will be the case.moreless

- Eli: Let's just cut to the chase. What do you have against me?
  Bedford: (scoffs) Well, it's not so much that I don't respect you or that I disapprove of your cowboy methods or that I cringe every time you open your mouth representing this university in public. Although all those things are true, it's just, the simple fact is, I just don't like you.
  Eli: Well, for a minute there, I thought it was personal.

- Melinda: Is it true? The shinies and the shadows. It just all feels fanciful.
  Carl the Watcher: Because you've never seen them. Hmm. So the person who asks people to believe what they can't see is refusing to believe what she can't see.

- Jim: That's how we cope with things, huh? By not caring.
  Dr. Morgan: No, by not getting invested in the first place. You set yourself up, not to mention the patient.
  Jim: She was scared. Uhm, I just wanted to reassure her.
  Dr. Morgan: You made an invasive procedure sound like a haircut. The only thing you say to a patient ever is that surgery carries risks. Period.
