Nine Muses

I watched the pilot of Fringe last night and I’m sufficiently intrigued.  I was not so deeply enamored of it that I’m sitting here waiting with bated breath for Tuesday’s next episode, but it was interesting.

I officially hate Ghost Whisperer.  At the end of last season’s ending episode, Andrea, the best friend and co-store-owner of the protagonist, Melinda, dies.  She doesn’t know she’s dead at first, but she figures it out right at the end.  When I watched that, I cried.  So, I’m five minutes into the season opener and I’m torn between screaming and praising the writers for their skills at emotional manipulation.  Melinda tells Andrea that she’s not dead yet, that she’s in a coma.  (They have had spirits outside of bodies before when close to death, so it’s not outside the continuity.)  Then there’s a panicked moment where Some Bad Thing is happening, and suddenly Melinda wakes up.  It was a dream.  She turns and tells her husband that she dreamt that he’d found Andrea’s body and that she wasn’t dead yet.  So now we know that wasn’t actually true.

So, dead.  Not dead.  Dead.

I’m thinking about looking for a book on the subject when I hit Borders today — I remember reading a story when I was about ten that fascinated me.
