Ghost Whisperer: The Walk-In

I just don’t get all this nonsense about Jennifer Love Hewitt being fat. Seriously. She’s a sexy, curvy woman. Her figure may have filled out a little in recent years, but if you ask me, in all the right places.

Anyway, I could wax lyrical about Ms Love Hewitt’s perfect body all day. It’s one of the reasons Ghost Whisperer is such a watchable show, after all.

Why the extended pervy intro? Well, in last night’s Ghost Whisperer, a slightly horny Melinda stripped off and dived into bed beside her husband. I couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous of David Conrad (who plays Jim). What a lucky dog….

Zombies Take Over Grandview

Yup, you heard right. A body in the Grandview morgue goes missing and the former owner of that body tracks down the intrepid Melinda Gordon to help put his soul to rest.

It turns out that the body has been inhabited by the ghost of a disabled boy called Jason who - get this - wants to attend his high school reunion as the jock he could never be. So he goes on the rampage around the town of Grandview trying to get suited up for his big zombie night out. Brilliant.

Eventually, with the help of the utterly besotted Professor Payne, she and Jim track down the ghost (Bryan) and the zombie (Jason) and bizarrely agree to let them attend the school reunion. So, basically we’ve got the ghost whisperer escorting a heavily made-up zombie to the ball, with the original ghost in tow.

All goes well, until a rival of Bryan’s from school -Rick - starts mocking him and Bryan asks Jason (who’s inhabiting his old body - keep up children!) to pass on a message…

You’re right, Rick. I did give up. And not a day goes by where I don’t think about how much I wasted, how many opportunities I let slip because I was too scared. But you come to the point where you need to let your regrets go too, or they take over your life. I was lucky. I got that chance. Not everybody does. Also… Three years ago, I totally nailed your sister.

Probably the best deathbed speech of all time, but Rick jumps Zombie Jason, shoving him into a table where hald of a punch bowl becomes embedded in his side. Melinda takes him outside to the car , where Jason eventually abandons the body.

After both ghosts finally resolve their issues with the living, they turn and walk into the light together. Awwww.

Funny Moments

The Walk-In was an unexpectedly funny episode of Ghost Whisperer with a couple of moments worth mentioning:

  1. Melinda escorting Zombie Jason into the reunion hall. I couldn’t help thinking how carefully concealing her abilities would be totally out the window if Jason’s limbs started falling off…
  2. Jay Mohr crams in a few good punchlines in his screen time, including “Dead man shopping” and talking about a candle to attract the souls of the dead, “I got mine at Bed, Bath and Voodoo.”
  3. The aforementioned “Three years ago I totally nailed your sister.”
  4. The moment where Melinda thinks that Jason’s ghost is going into the light, but instead discovers a streetlight had given her an ‘unearthly glow’.

Good episode, yet again, from the best looking Ghost Whisperer in Grandview. (I hear the others are real dogs…)
