Ghost Whisperer

I loved the idea of a new character, but I believe it needs a little more work. I just can't wait to see if what the new ghost said is true and the real meaning of it. Is Melinda really getting pregnant? I'm going to miss Payne though, he always helps Melinda and brings a little humor to the series, but I hope they still keep in touch even if he's not always on our episodes. I think it was a good season premiere, but it didn't WOW me. However, it promises to be an awesome season. I just hope it gets better with the time.

This was a greate season premiere for the new season! I hthought that the fire at Roackland University was a great way to kick off the episode, and they built it up very nicely from there.



The storyline was immensely itnteresting. It was a sad one, in many aspects, but it did lead to some quite freaky moments, particularly when Melinda was trapped and nearly died in the fire!



Definitely a suspenseful and immensely intricate episode! Really loved every aspect of it, and hopefully it is a sign of great things oto come in the new season!



Keep it up, Ghost Whispere! This is an amazing show, and I hope it ckeeps on rolling that way!

Overall, for a season premiere it wasn't bad, but i was a little disappointed they never explained the cliffhanger ending of season 3 where there was 6 people but only 5 shadows? Will they explain that later or just pretend it didn't exist? Overall though the ep was good, and i'm still unsure about Jamie Kennedy joing the cast, but then of course i was unsure about Jay Mohr, I guess I'll have to wait and see how this goes. I think they should have had the 4th season opener start where season 3 left off, but instead it steered away from that, I just hope they answer it quickly about the season 3 cliffhanger.

I was getting really excited for the return of ghost whisperer and really looking forward to knowing about what was up with the 5 shadows. I was really disapointed when they only mentioned it once. I thought Prof Payne was going to do a big insight into it but he didn't. But it did give me a few things to think about like about the black lady that helped Melinda I thought that maybe she was some kind of white lighter like from charmed and the thing she said about death brushing off on Melinda was also very interesting. I also found it a bit weird that they didn't say anything about her father or Gabriel! well hopefully big chills will be better!

Well,the season 4 premiere was exciting! I was hoping that we would find out about the only being 5 shadows when there were 6 people thing, but there was nothing really about it. I am glad that Rick didn't die and he just left, which means that Jay Mohr could come back if he wanted too, which I hope that he does, he's so funny how he brings his sarcasm into serious things! The main storyline in this episode was introducing Eli (Jamie Kennedy), he has a near death experience after a fire in his office at the university. After having this experience, he begins to hear ghosts, not see them, but only hear them. I really thought that the girl he was with was the on who set the fire, but it turns out it was her roommate, who turned out to be her foster brother. There is a new mystery this season, that is the woman with the group of people who showed up and saved Melinda because she did something for them. I thought it was weird when she said that there was a price. What price? What ever price it may be, it won't stop Melinda from crossing people over. At the end of the episode, Eli and Melinda agree to work together, which I don't really like since I consider Melinda to be independent in helping people and helping their families, but I guess I'll have to get used to it.



Oh, and before I forget to mention, Jim and Melinda are now trying to have a baby! I wonder if that will happen this season?



I really liked this episode, and I hope that season 4 will be a great season!

In the long tradition of Buffy's Giles, Tru Calling's Davis and Heroes's Mohinder Suresh, professor Payne filled the role of both the cynic scholar and reluctant best friend. The character grew in the eyes of the audience - mainly because of Jay Mohr's performance - in such a way that what could've been a rip off Medium's favorite non-marriage ended up taking a life of its own as unique to Ghost Whiperer mythology as the spirits itlselves. It deserved a propper send off and Boy, did we have that in spades!



In a rather exciting 4 season premiere Professor Payne and Melinda set the emotional tone of the episode as their separation takes place not in the form of a physiscal death but a rather more heartbreaking emotional one as Rick must leave for a sabatical Melinda is nowhere near ready to accept; no matter the firestarter, no matter the mystery, no matter the potential new baby is Rick Payne the one Mel is afraid to lose as they linger to their last few moments together before she lets him go as devastated as we are hopeful that he would come back someday.

That was a really speacial epsiode and I really had to cry when Payne and Melinda said goodbye.



I will really miss him since he and Melinda make an awsome team but I'm glad that we have Jamie Kennedy as Eli James on the show now.



The storyline was really intressting. Eli can talk to ghost like Melinda. There is just one diffrence. He can't see them.



Can't wait for them to work together. I just hope they bring Payne back now and than if they can.



What I don't get is why they left the question that came up in the end of season 3 open?

"6 people but only 5 shadows"

What's up with that?

I know it will play a big rule they don't just do something like this on GW just to not answer an important question as did one. So lets hope we get the answer fast. Because I'm one the edge about that one since the end of season 3.

• First of all, I must say I'm very excited that nobody was killed off.

• I really didn't like Eli. He annoys me so much.

• Okay, so the girl that plays Meg on Veronica Mars played the ghost and I thought she was gorgeous in the episode.

• Am I the only one that doesn't like that they changed Ned's last season? I liked the old one.

• I'm really going to miss Payne.

• I laughed about the whole Delia making Ned work two jobs so that he can pay for his new game that because of him working two jobs wouldn't be able to play. No idea why I found it funny, I just did.

• I almost cried when Mel was saying good bye to Payne. Super sad, I'm really gonna miss him.

• Overall, the episode was pretty good; definitely not one of the best episodes I've ever seen.

I think this episode was awesome! I am sooo glad they decided not to kill the professor after all that speculation with him being able to see six people and only five shadows, which, speaking of, they failed to divulge into with great detail. They only mentioned it a couple of times, which is basically my only complaint with the episode, besides the fact that Rick had to leave!



The twist with the fire and the brother was great, but I'm not sure if I like Eli yet, he may grow on me I guess, but I know he's just there to replace Payne, who I love, so I hope they don't make him AS close to Mel as Payne was/is. I cried, yes! I CRIED when Mel and Payne were saying their goodbyes. "You care about me" awww! "Of course I care" she says and "No, you REALLY care about me" haha. Then she tells him to be careful and that he's one of her best friends. This bit was so sad and I replayed it about ten times (not joking!) and then Payne says something pervy she gives him a big hug whilst crying lol. I am going to miss him so much. I don't mean to sound rude; but I kinda hope Gary unmarried (Jay Mohr's new show) doesn't go THAT well so he can come back to GW! Ok, that did sound mean. I'm sorry, I just love him on this show, ok?

In this episode of Ghost Whisperer, the following happens. After a fire in the school where Payne teaches at, Melinda meets a man who can hear ghosts but he cannot see them. The man named Eli, had a student who died in the fire. Her name was Fiona, and it appears as though they may have been having a relationship. We soon learn that she did not in fact start the fire. We soon learn that it was her roommate who also was her foster brother when they were younger. A fire breaks out and the brother/room mate and Melinda are trapped. Luckily in the nick of time, they are rescued. But before they are Melinda sees a ghost who tells her that she should be careful and that she has a bit of death in her which she passes on to those who she touches. The brother/ roommate is arrested and the ghost crosses over. Professor Payne leaves to go backpacking and travelling.

If you are tired of meaningless hookups and breakups, generic plots and pointless filler episodes than Ghost Whisperer might be the show for you. The quintessential example of the supernatural TV series GW is a refreshing change of pace from the usual rubbish on Friday nights. While most shows on the final weekday are waiting for the dead, this show simply communicates with the dead (that was clever, right?)



Jennifer Love Hewitt does a fine job as the leading woman here. Not the most enthralling or compelling performance but she portrays an amiable character in Melinda Gordon who takes control of the screen and gets you hooked on the story. It's not a sinecure to make a show with ghosts seem serious, but Ghost Whisperer does it effortlessly. Even more incredible is how they get over comedians Jay Mohr and Jamie Kennedy as legitimate esteemed psychologists. Both do well and in this passing of the torch episode the show seems to be in good hands with Eli as the next ghost-communicating personality.



CBS really is outdoing itself and the competition this season as the majority of their programs are off to a strong start. Ghost Whisperer gave us an intense season premiere from start to finish with a profound movie-quality scene at the archives. Great beginning for the new year and hopefully things stay this strong.

Last time we saw Ghost Whisperer, we were all wondering...who in the group was dead. I was thinking it was Payne for several reasons, one being it was him that actually saw that there was a missing shadow, and two because he is starring in his own show now. Though we learned that no one in the group was dead, it was just a bad omen.



At the end of the episode, Jay left the show, heading off to the himilayas. You know, I don't really understand why he left the show. I understand that he has a new show and everything. Heck, maybe they even pay him more, but he was great in Ghost Whisperer, and he is just...average in Gary Unmarried. Oh well...he will be missed.



I do like Eli, the new character played by Jamie Kennedy. I think he does add to the show in a way. Nothing compared to Payne, but...he's got his own thing going.
