School buses now greet me on the street in the mornings. The leaves on the neighbor's trees are turning colors and falling into my yard. The weather is unseasonably warm, so everyone says. And, on TV, the fall shows are having their premieres.
CBS just rolled out their new Friday night schedule, Ghost Whisperer at 8/7 Central and Medium at 9/8 Central. So, there I was last night, sitting in front of the television.
Spoiler alert: Don't read any farther if you haven't watched the two shows.
Ghost Whisperer
Last season on Ghost Whisperer, Jim died after being shot. Before Melinda could stop him, he took over a newly dead man's body and became Sam Lucas. The rest of the season was spent having Melinda give Sam/Jim hints of just who he really was. By the time the season ended, Jim was back to being Jim and Melinda was pregnant with his child. But all was not sweetness and light, Melinda found the Book of Changes and as her baby was due on 9/25, something ominous was going to happen.
The season premiere started with Melinda giving birth at exactly 11:48 on September 25. At the moment of little Aiden Lucas Clancy's birth, the clock stopped and the feet of a ghost appeared. And, those weren't the only weird happenings in this episode of Ghost Whisperer.
Before the opening credits rolled, little Aiden went from breast-feeding newborn to five-year-old child. It reminded me of that Days of Our Lives episode when Marlena and John head off on their honeymoon and their daughter, Belle, is five. Upon their return, Belle is sixteen and Marlena says something to the effect of “John, look how our baby's grown.” I am totally disappointed in the aging of Aiden. I was looking forward to watching Melinda struggle between breast feeding and crossing over wayward spirits.
There were other changes, as well. Jim/Sam is now just Jim and he's a doctor doing his residency. We learn that Delia no longer works for Melinda and is selling real estate full time (in this economy?). Ned's in college and taking classes with Eli.
