beccaelizabethJust watched a Ghost Whisperer where there was this murderer who got executed and then haunted his daughter and his art dealer. See the art dealer had one contract, giving him all the paintings to pay for the lawyer and stuff. The daughter had another, that gave the dealer only 15% of the paintings. The ghost jumped into the dealer and made him experience the execution over and over until he gave up and gave all the paintings to the daughter.
And the Ghost Whisperer lady was fine with this.
er, excuse me?
They didn't actually *prove* that the girl's contract had any legal force. They never ever proved that the art dealer was cheating. Only that the murderer - the self confessed really did do it the ghost said so murderer - really wanted to make him suffer until the daughter got rich. Surely the GW should have an opinion? Especially after the ghost did the same trick to her and scared hell out of her making her experience getting hanged? Maybe, just possibly, the dead guy was a *bad* guy?
Especially with the sub plot. That was about a woman pretending to be hurt by the paramedic husband so she could sue for a bunch of money. So she was faking so she could get what she was owed.
Seems like the story was saying maybe the ghost was too.
But the main character certainly didn't see it that way.
I don't quite know what to make of this show. It mostly seems really simple and weepy, but then there get to be other notes in there... If I was reading it like it was Buffy writing, I'd say she was heading for a fall, overconfidence and letting the ghosts walk over her and stuff. But it might not be layered like that. Can't quite figure if the plots are meant to reflect together that way.
In other news, I forgot to stop eating chocolate, so I feel oogy and have a headache. Is only my own fault. So I feel *dumb* and oogy.
And therefore annoyed.
:eyeroll:
I meant to have the mini chocolates so I could take a couple to school and avoid the 50p per bar college chocolate. Instead I seem to be munching them like every half hour. Very not good. I need some willpower.
