Shows like The Ghost Whisperer always seem to involve some restless spirit with unfinished business among the living. Its like the Dead are finally getting around to their to-do lists and they need somebody like Jennifer Love Hewitt to play their personal assistant. Maybe thats why Hewitts show never made it onto my to-do list. I prefer my ghost stories with more shrieking and wailing and less emotional closure. But I sat down on Friday to peer into the world beyond the grave, a world where the scariest thing is the dialogue.

Damages is one of those shows that I push hard on people, because I find it so unique and challenging. And also because I am a bit of a masochist. See, Damages doesn't operate like other television shows on air right now. It prefers to dangle things in front of viewers, show them bits of the "ending" right off the bat, and generally lead them in a direction where they think they know the answer to the mystery before blowing everything up.
