Ghost Whisperer: Season 1: Episode 10: Ghost Bride

Psycho Ghost Bride
Finally a change in pace from the normal “Help Me” ghosts. We finally have a ghost that wants to ruin the chance of happiness for a poor girl, instead of making up for mistakes in the past. It all seems so creepy… and than they have to ruin it with the ghost threatening Melinda’s husband and OH MY! She stole her husband’s ring. Oh… that’s so evil… By the way ghost bride was speaking I thought she’d try to kill Melinda’s husband, but they had to do it the cutesy way. It was interesting though that she never told the guy about the miscarriage, but how come she tried to ruin his chance at love when she’s dead and he can never have her back in his life?

Trust Issues

This is part of what makes the show soapy. Melinda’s husband is keeping in touch with an ex-girlfriend and she asked him to stop, because she’s afraid she might be “trying to find a new father for her baby.” My question is if she has so much trust in her husband, than why should she care? If she really felt like they both love each other enough to get married, than why did she try to get her husband to not talk to that girl anymore? If she really trusted him she’d know that even if the girl did try to seduce him that he’d never go for it.

And People Just Seem to Believe it
One thing that really bugs me on the show is how everyone either believes it from the start, or how they eventually believe it. Melinda could of done her research on the person and eventually turn out to be a scammer. (Though we know that wouldn’t happen.) All she does is eventually tell them something they’ve said or done and they come to believe it. Also, why does she just tell people that she can talk to the dead? By doing that people just think she’s crazy and wouldn’t want anything to do with her.

And They Lived Happily Ever After
One thing I find about this show is that it’s too predictable. You know from the beginning that everything is going to turn out ok- the ghost will cross over and the person close to him/her will come to terms with the death. There are no big twists that keep you waiting for the next episode. It all has a happy go lucky feeling that is repeated over and over again till you want something new. Let’s try to keep it new and refreshing, shall we?
