Florida, here I come




A review of "The Ghost Inside My Child", a TV series about the paranormal. 

I haven't watched the episodes of this season (at least not in this life), but I've seen the pilot, which doesn't seem to be included at Amazon Instant Video. It featured interviews with a number of pretty regular U.S. middle class families who believes (or claims to believe) that their kids have authentic reincarnation memories. Even the children are featured. For some reason, the pilot didn't really move me either way. Not sure why. My deepest feelings about reincarnation is hell no, this wasn't what I signed up for, take me to some ascended star system with luminous pegasi! Logically, I should have hated this production.

However, I must say that some of the hysterical reactions to "The Ghost Inside My Child" are pretty entertaining. Apparently, the show can't be true because Christians, or in one instance Buddhists, don't believe in reincarnation, or *this kind* of reincarnation. Only the New Age does, ergo the interviewees must be lying. That's an argument?!

Another blogger called the featured families "underclass losers". Really? If those houses and lawns are what passes for underclass in Louisiana, Florida or New York State, I'll move to the U.S. anytime, ha ha! Maybe I can reincarnate there in the near future?

Not sure how to rate this, but in the interest of fairness, three stars (the OK rating) sounds alright. The silly negativity almost made me like the pilot...
