  • More interesting than I expected!

    I found this episode to be quite interesting, in all honesty. I liked the storyline quite a bit, and I thought it was great having a completely different episode to what we've previously seen.

    I also found the idea of the ghost taking over in order to play baseball again, and I thought they executed this extremely well.

    I didn't find the episode to be funny at all, unlike some weeks, so that was the only real disappointment for me, however, I still think that this was a great episode.

    I would highly recommend this one, and I hope there is more great episodes and more variety to come!moreless

    This was a very good episode. How that ghost of baseball player really died and why. He didn't believe in himself to do what he really wanted to do. That is tragic and the worst of it is he used drugs to get to where he was in life. Not to mention that poor young baseball player he kept possessing. He was a jerk and he kept attacking Melinda. Could this be some kind of foreshadowing? The way that ghosts seem to be attacking her? The only thing I didn't really like was when she was being shot at with those baseballs that she started yelping like a puppy and acted like a weakling instead of saying "Stop it" even if it didn't do any good, you would at least respect her for it and it wouldn't like she would be hit if she did.moreless

    Not that bad of a episode, I do like how the show is getting back to way it was in last season. The suspension of ghost haunting Melinda when he first appears to her. The difference is seeing a ghost actually hurting people. The way the ghost was hurting his friend and the coach. The other good of this epsidoe is also involving the show around Melinda and the ghost and not so much on her co-owner of the store. I already forgot her name! other then that not a bad episode. A postive episode of showing that drugs are bad and never to forget to have fun!moreless

The next day when she goes to the school she is wearing a shirt that looks like a suit with a tie when the ghost attacks her with the baseballs. The next scene she is talking to her husband about the attack and she is wearing the same purple shirt from the night before. Edit
