Night Stalker 10/27/05 "Malum"

Good episode, and certainly a classic turn-around scenario that is emminately gameable to boot. Save at the end, which I didn't understand at all. Carl implies that the detectives kid really killed the possessed boy, but then at the end... the detective is free? With both boys? Or is the possessed kid just hanging around as a spirit? I figured he'd jump into the detective's kid, perhaps.

If you listened to the voice over at the end, it was hinted the car scene was when the detective's son realized that his friend was the real evil. It was like an out of sequence scene. Pretty cool episode all in all.

Ah, I understand now. I see. I tend to be up and doing something during the ending voice-over because it's usually just musings; I'll have to start watching them.

Which is what should have happened, if the show were internally consistent, of course (but it isn't)!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I couldn't watch it, because my local station pre-empted it for Billy Graham's son...

M'eh.

If the spirit could jump to one body it should've been able to jump to another and should've been hinted at.

The whole detective/interrogation thing left me bored.

Awful, awful episode. On the "strength" of this stinker, I'm close to killing this out of TiVo.
