Haunted
Again, the spoiler ratings guide is here. Seeing as this show went off the air several years ago
after only a handful of episodes (which I had a hell of a time finding) I'm
going to give every episode a spoiler rating of 1. If you really desperately
want to search torrents or beg Matthew Fox fans for copies so you can watch
episodes yourself, then refer to the number in parentheses after the 1.
"Pilot"
(or: Cop Sees Dead People)
Former-cop-turned-PI Frank Taylor dies and comes back to life able to see
ghosts. Er...that's about it.
Spoiler
rating: 1 (2)
[pic1, pic2, pic3]
"Grevious Angels" (Would Make a Good
Name for a Rock Band)
...at least until the band members start doing covers of depressing Linda
Ronstadt songs and killing groupies in fits of rage.
Spoiler
rating: 1 (2)

"Fidelity" (or:
I Love Pauley Perrette)
Frank fumbles through a case about a possible serial killer and he and Pauley
Perrette make lame attempts at flirting with each other. Also, Jess has a bad
feeling that may or may not be symbolic of the show's downward spiral..
Spoiler
rating: 1 (2)

"Abby" (or: And You Think Your Family is Cursed)
Once there was a girl
A former love of Marcus
She died. That is all.
Spoiler rating: 1 (3)
"Blind Witness" (or: Yay for Cliches!)
Frank is struck temporarily blind, beaten and nearly thrown from an overpass by
the ghost of a homeless veteran who really wants to make a point. And that
point is "YOU'RE A MORON, FRANK." Also, Dante plays babysitter for a
while and he and Frank come just short of actually making out on camera.
Spoiler rating: 1 (4)
"Nocturne" (or: What Do You Mean You *Think* You Killed
Someone?)
Frank is possessed by a ghost and reenacts several scenes from "Secret
Window". Matthew proves that he is a better actor than the writers give
him credit for.
Spoiler rating: 1 (2)

"Three Hour Tour" (or: Like Robinson Crusoe...)
Frank is taken hostage by a reclusive couple who don't want their daughter to
know they're dead. There's more to it than that, but my brain sort of short
circuited when the father tied Frank to a bed. Unfortunately, Marcus is not
around to take advantage of this.
Spoiler rating: 1 (0)
"Simon Redux" (or: Ho! Yay! HOYAY!)
Simon possesses Jess' new boyfriend Eddie "Flack" Cahill and
generally spends an hour screwing with Frank's head. Meanwhile, Marcus finally
declares his love for Frank and throws him in a cell for a night to teach him a
lesson. I'm not even slightly kidding.
Spoiler rating: 1 (2)
"Last Call" (or: And You Think Your Love Life is Dead)
Frank dates a ghost and it's really weird and creepy. There's a half-hearted
attempt to solve her murder, but really? This episode appears to be all about
the pathetic state of Frank's relationships with women.
Spoiler rating: 1 (2)
[pic1]
"Seeking Asylum" (or: One Flew Over)
Frank checks himself into a psych hospital to find some woman's fiance and ends
up with a new girlfriend, some third-degree burns and a better understanding of
how Simon is the embodiment of his Id.
Spoiler rating: 1 (4)
"Nexus" (or: Divorce Would Definitely Have Been Easier)
Frank finally gets that new brain he asked the wizard for and Simon tries to
get him to put a bullet in it. And in what might have been intended as a
completely different episode, Frank tries to stop a vengeful dead wife from
killing her husband's mistress.
