Ghost Whisperer

"The Gravesitter," was different then the typical norm episode, and I frankly loved it. Justin Yates, was a character I knew I would love from the get go, always curious and suspicious for the abnormal. Tonight, it all finally was laid into play. Resolving many unanswered questions/plot left hanging, such as the stealing of files on Mel from Payne's laptop [watch "The Underneath"], or the captured security tape catching Mel in the act [watch "Slam"] to tonights somewhat exposing of Mel's gift. The answer ... was guilt and curiosity of what is beyond the barrier of the living and breathing. That explains the why but what about the cause? Guess you, like I did have to watch to find out. One thing I will say, the Justin plot and his curiosity of the beyond is one you will not have seen coming.



Moving along to mythology plot, the Dark Spirits and the Underground strike again. They are indeed "getting stronger" to quote Mel from Season 1. I found it clever how John [since he wrote it] showed the Dark Spirits were getting wary of Mel's "peace is in the light, not here" chatter by unwillingly ripping them from the surface and then, safely in their world, converting them over. Also, the ghosts trying to force themselves from beneath the concrete to the surface was a great way to show progression from the tease they laid in the premiere to what is to come out of it.



It was a nice change of things to see Mel converse with the other 3 characters. I do not think this has happened since "Weight of What Was," especially with each in their own right helping out with the situation of the episode. Also, it was a very positive sign after last weeks episode to see that Delia has relaxed and opened up to Mel's ability. All in good time too.



Overall, the episode was different but in the purest and best way it could and should be. Inching closer and closer we are, all but a few questions are still left unanswered. Luckily, we still have 4eps till we can say "rest in peace" to Season 3.

After the last few Ned centered (and whoever cast that actor should be shot!), and totaly pointless filler episodes, Ghost Whisperer is back on track this week.



Prof. Payne is back and with him the main mythology arc of the season. There is also not much of Delia which is always good, as she's been boring all season and I don't think the writers have any idea what to do with her character.



This episode had everything that lacked in the previous two. Good story, sollid writing, great acting (The guy who played justin did a good job), and some off Professor's Payne funny rants :)



Best part :)



Payne: There is absolutely no entertaiment value whatsoever in owning a gerbil. He won't eat a hot-dog, he turned his nose up at a potatoe chip earlier.

Malinda: Hello?

Payne: This guy won't show me any affection, he doesn't snuggle with me. I need an animal that will cuddle.

Melinda: Can you focus plaese.



Great episode, if only they can keep it up till the end of the season, without boring me to death with lame filler episodes, I'll be a happy viewer.

So everyone was afraid of this.. I personally do not want everyone to find out about Melinda's ability to speak to the dead.



The painting or graffiti on her shop's front door are just annoying and scary at the same time.



So Melinda isn't the only one who is experiencing strange stuff! Justin is finding his room upside down?



So what is going on with Justin? He is being very Strange!



This is very interesting.. So Justin knows that he is sick and is going to die - He is alone because he knows what's going to happen to him.



Justin wants to find some who is dead when he is dead? Julie.



JUstin went through a rough patch and made a really tough decision to leave Julie behind. You can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice how much he wanted to die that day and that he thinks that he should die now.



That was very strange.. no wonder he saw Julie because he passed away in his sleep.



I guess Julie wanted him with her... Since he died we have learned a lot of new things about him and that made me like him cause I learned who he truly is.



He does not deserve to be with Julie and he needs to go to the light. Julie was trying to hurt him to make him stay with her.



Justin is a good guy and he wanted to say goodby to his family and he wanted to say he is sorry.



JUstin is cute - I really like him now... He was sorry for stealing the files and he understands what she does.

I really love season three. It is clearly much better than the second season. The writers did a great job at finishing Justin's storyline and we were also shown that ghosts can be saved from the darknesss of old Grandview. Malinda finally has a great victory against the dark spirits. Also until this episode I really hated Justin for his curiosity, but this episode changed EVERYTHING. He showed Melinda (and us) that he is very strong and interesting person.

The episode was also a little scary and that's great of course. The plot was really very clever and it showed many new things to the viewers I think. Also the ending was great - scary faces and hands. BOO

Another really good episode. I loved justin in this one. I always wondered what exactly his whole role was in this season and it was finally answered. I was however shocked when he turned out to be a ghost himself in the end, even though I should have seen it comming. At first when he started to paint on malindas door i really thought that it ws a ghost but then when he was cought on camera i was a little confused as to why he would be trying to out her, but then it come out that he was in fact not aware of his doings. Anyway good show and hope they keep on getting better

A good episode with Melinda and the blogger finally having their long anticipated showdown. I really liked how it appeared a fanatic was after Melinda. The slow unraveling of the plot showing it was the blogger was done well. I didn't expect to hear he had an inoperable brain tumor and the scene where he found out he was a ghost panned out perfectly. I was a little annoyed at Melinda doing her crybaby thing again. I get that she's the sweet beautiful heroine but come on are all those water works needed? Still a good episode giving us what we expect from the show a great and enduring story.

Though I have been watching this show since it first aired, I am by NO means an expert. However, what really struck me about this episode was that we followed the ghost in real time. Normally we experience the ghost through flashbacks, conversations between Melinda and the ghost or through Melinda's investigation of the ghost's life. In this episode, Justin dies and attempts to locate his already dead girlfriend, Julie. She's evil and lures Justin into the underbelly of Grandview. I found those scenes with Justin to be very unique, especially when he holds his hand over the road and it reveals the world underneath. It was eerie. When the hand grabs him and he is pulled through the road, I actually jumped. Also, in this episode, Justin has a conversation with his parents as he begins to go to the light. I don't recall another episode where information is relayed from people already in the light. It certainly opens up all kinds of possibilites.... and Justin says he's going to come back to tell Melinda all about the light....hmmm. I can't wait.

Someone or something starts to paint red words by Mel's store and she is starting to get scared. The interesting part is that they made me believe that was a ghost doing that, the really ghost that can't touch anything. I never thought it was Justin.



Yeah he is back and gone for good. We finally had the crossing between Melinda and Justin, with all this coming out. After all he was a great guy, with a huge heart. He didn't belonged down there with all the other bad ghosts. He was a great guy after all...



I don't know if I wanted to be aware I was going to die soon, I like not knowing but if I knew maybe I would risk more, do more or maybe not, maybe I would shut everyone out and just be alone with my pain, waiting.

I really don't know, it's something you just know when you are in that situation.

This episode starts off with Melinda and Delia arriving at work in the morning with coffee. When they see the store's window they find the word "Witchcraft" painted in red. We soon discover that the town's blog has stuff about Melinda on it. The paint is removed from the window and so they both go home, still thinking about who might have painted it onto the window. The very next day a different word is painted on the window of the store. So they both decide to leave on a video camcorder to try and catch the person painting the works, in the act. When they go to work the next day another word is written on the window. When they watch back the video they discover that it was Justin, the blog writer. He was the one who had been writing things on the window. Only he has no memory of doing any of it, and he tells Melinda that he thinks that he may be haunted. He explains that he goes to sleep and everything is fine and yet when he wakes up everything in his room is up-side down. He then informs Melinda that he a brain tumour (which could kill him at any moment), and we son discover that he is being haunted by his girlfriend Julie. She died when they went out on her boat. Then as they were trying to start the engine to go back home, she went below deck and the boat flipped and she drowned. Justin tried to save her, but was unable to do so. The next day Melinda goes round to Justin's to talk to him. We soon discover that he died in his sleep, and that she is actually talking to his ghost. The ghosts who live under the town take Justin. One of them (his girlfriend) takes over the body of a customer in the store and informs Melinda that she has him now and that he was there on his won free will. Melinda and the professor go down through the hole in the store to the church under the town. We then see Julie and Justin under the town and Julie tells him that there is a secret that not even Melinda knows. That you can live again.

Melinda also finds out that Julie sank the boat on purpose and was going to blame Justin because she owed a lot of money. Melinda then convinces him to cross over. When he does so Melinda is crying. Then in the last scene of the episode we can see the ghosts from under the town trying to come through the road. Very creepy.

This was my least faevorite episode of Ghost Whisperer in a long time, even though it was a relatively impressive episode.



I thought the episode lacked any real suspense, and that is my main critixism, but I did think that the storyline, in general, was worthwhile.



I also thought that the beginning of the episode, with the graffiti, was well-executed, and that was certainly something enjoyable to watch.



I found that this episode was quite dcent, but in my opinion, most of the last ten episodes were all on a different level. This episode hada no real suspense oto keep us on the endge of our seats.



Ultimately, a decent episode, and a worthwhile watch. Hoping for more great episodes!
