Please be aware of a major spoiler in this post, just in case you havent seen the Imaginary Friends and Enemies episode yet!I don't even know where to begin. I watch a lot of tv nowadays, more reality tv but once in a while, i get hooked on sitcomes or really good tv shows like Ghost Whisperer. Reality tv, such as Biggest Loser for example, often gets me emotional since they go through a whirlwind of emotion throughout the season. To see me cry on a regular tv show, means that the creators, and the fantastic team beyond, has done an amazing job. This was basically my case with Friday's episode of Ghost Whisperer,
Imaginary Friends and Enemies.I had the misfortune of reading a spoiler before watching the episode but i couldn't come to terms with it and as i was watching the episode, i kept trying to make up a reason as to why such thing could happen and how and who and... and... trying to make myself believe that he wasn't
really gone.
When Jim woke Mel up and told her to look at him and remember him that way, i felt my heart shatter in millions of pieces. To me Jim was everything to Melinda; her #1 support, best friend, soul mate. I still can't believe fact that they would take Jim away from her. It is truely devasting.
My fiance and I have come to absolutely love this show. We are rarely home on friday nights to watch the show but we always tape it and as soon as we have time to spare, Ghost Whisperer is always the first show we will watch, even if we are late with shows dated from the beginning of the week.
Last night, we were laying in bed discussing the episode, yet again, and him too, couldn't believe that Jim was dead. He said, 'its weird! Its like he was part of our life, like we just lost someone close to us and we are having a hard time coping with it. Its stupid right? Its just a TV show.' I laid there thinking, 'i thought i was the only one feeling this way...'
To me, Jim and Melinda were the best TV couple ever. He was always there by her side, calming her down when she was stress, at her side when she had bad dreams and more importantly, he accepted her with her gift.
I dont know how this will affect the ratings for the next episodes to come but as a true fan, i will keep watching no matter what. Some people say he will be there, on the other side, helping cross over spirits. My biggest disapointment is that they will never be able to have a familly together. It will definitly take me a while to accept to 'not see' Jim anymore and i'm sure ill be crying in the next episode...
We will miss you Jim!
