Review
       Once upon a time there was a prima donna pop princess who believed in her boy-toy brain that she was an actress. Although her acting style was as vacuous as her prowess for vocalizing the inane and vapid lyrics to her so called songs, in her heart of hearts she was a bona fide thespian. One day the princess married her prince charming, an up and coming creative independent film director named Guy Ritchie, whose career would be turned to stone after his liaison with the pop Medusa. Together they would conspire to remake and re-create the onscreen magic of a film by Lina Wertmuller from 1974, called Travolti da un insolito destino nell'azzurro mare d'agosto, American translation This is a film that most definitely should be avoided at all cost!!!

Miracles Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

2. The Friendly Skies
Paranormal investigators Paul Callan, Alva Keel and Evelyn Santos try to determine why a commercial airplane temporarily disappeared from radar - and why, during those unaccountable moments, the flight's passengers actually experienced their innermost thoughts, fears and fantasies.

Guest Stars:

Ashley Edner
Christopher Cousins

My Thoughts:
This is a pretty good episode. But definitely not a favorite. I found it to be a bit on the slow side. Some of the early episodes are a bit hit and miss. This one just happened to be a miss for me.
