Aside from the fact that SciFi's commercials for this episode were annoying as anything and almost seemed to give away too much, the episode was good.
On first viewing, I think it was stronger than the first episode.
Though, I will say, with the change in the airing line-up, we had to 'body switching' episodes in a row, which I don't think they considered. (Not as big a hang-up as it could be, since the skin-walker wasn't seen on-screen in more than one 'skin'.)
I'm not sure, yet, how I feel about Harry being able to cook like a normal person - burnt garlic bread not-withstanding. However - is spaghetti the only thing he knows how to make? He was making that in the last episode too.
But on to the show:
Hauntings are cool
Voodoo dolls are fun
Big blood pools - not so much
Harry 'detecting' more is good - more magic is good too
'Master of Magic' poster on the wall behind his couch... I would assume it's a poster from one of his dad's shows, since Harry-the-wizard doesn't advertise quite like that
Bob went through the wall!
I'm trying to figure out if Bob not having a quick / good answer is supposed to show that Harry isn't dependent on him or that Bob's just slow w/ the memory recall under pressure.
Is Harry going to be more well-versed in the occult and magic-y things of other locales than he is in the books? (In the books, he admits to knowing mostly about the euro-centric stuff and not-so-much about Native American things and the like... I think.) Though he didn't display more than 'hey, I know who Anubis is', so maybe not so much more knowledge.
(( Yes - ramble-me. Until I watch it again.))
All-in-all, I liked the episode. We're getting a better feel of the Murphy - Harry dynamic, as long as they don't shove them into a romantic relationship, I'll be just peachy.
** I almost forgot... Harry got stabbed in the arse!
That is classic Harry stuff!
