"Heart and Soul" (the latest epy and the one immediately following Jim entering the body of a newly dead-and-just-walked-in-to-the-light Sam) was absolutely amazing.
However, before I step forward and review this epy let me step backwards for any one that may have missed the previous epy.
Melinda's beloved husband Jim has died.
But his spirit refuses to leave Melinda and enter the light.
He's not angry - he just can't bring him self to leave her.
She keeps telling him he has to go.
That him staying isn't right and she wants him to leave.
She's torn apart because she's trying to do what's best for him and he's torn apart because he's trying to be near her.
Just then an accident takes place in front of them.
A motorcyclist has been hit and is dying on the scene.
Jim runs up to the body.
The spirit of the body (Sam) leaves the body and enters the light.
But the paramedics are still trying to revive him.
Jim takes one last look at Melinda and steps in to Sam's body (with Melinda screaming, "No Jim don't.").
Thus begins "Heart and Soul".
Melinda has watched her husband Jim entered Sam's body.
She knows he's in there.
But as Sam (aka Jim) starts to wake-up he doesn't remember anything.
A little research from Melinda's buddy Eli reveals that what Jim has done results in something similiar to being reborn with almost all of past life memories being lost.
But Melinda refuses to give up on Jim.
After all he made the ultimate sacrifice for her how can she give up on him know right?
What unravels is the begining of a beautiful story.
Sam (aka Jim) is drawn to her. He has feelings for her. Her laugh seems so familiar. But he's not exactly the same Jim. Now that he's Sam his taste buds are different. He's got a new family to contend with. But he can't help but feel drawn to Melinda.
I must say when I first heard of this story line I had my doubts.
After all - how could any of this honestly honor Jim.
But ya know what?
It has.
I'm in love with this story line and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Bravo GW writers.
You may pull this off yet!

Ra-Re
On a brighter notes: old fans of Jericho (like me and Nadia)
will be happy to see
that the Sam's body belongs to Kenneth Mitchell who played Skeet Ulrich's brother on Jericho.
1*sigh*
I still miss Jericho.
NOT GIRL, SORRY
I am not feeling it
in fact, to tell the truth, I have not seen a complete episode since Jim died...
I try to... but I find myself seeing something else, or not putting enough attention. By now All I know is because of recaps.
Still JERICHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I MISS YOU!
