PainkillerJane - Episode 5 - Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself - SciFi Channel

This was a pretty weak episode. The premise is that there's this FBI safe house that appears to be haunted. The only thing they can find is a woman who shows up on satellite photos, around the same time as the incidents that they're investigating. It turns out that her husband was brought to the house to be questioned. There's no record of it in the FBI files. But they do have satellite photos of him being delivered here. Long story short, the man was a neuro. He has the ability, with touch, to feel what you were feeling, or to pass his feelings along to you. Well this FBI agent wanted to interrogate him about the abduction of a little girl. At the time he worked for the girls parents. Well it appears that the agent conducting the interrogation got a little overzealous and gave him an electrical jolt, he thought, to scare him. They didn't know that it was going to cause his heart to stop. Well when his heart stopped his own electrical impulses transferred over in to the electrical circuit of the house. And it captured his final feelings. Feelings of terror, anger, and fear. So basically whenever anyone touched anything attached to that circuit, the feeling were then transferred over in to them. So they ending up "chipping" the house. Now just because I can explain the story, doesn't mean that I liked the story. I thought it was very weak. Really it was like an episode from Ghost Hunters. And Jane, whom the series is named after, didn't use her powers once. Again, if you want to do a series about a team that investigates neuros, then fine. Do a series called Neuros. But this series is called PainKiller Jane. Which means the stories should be about, and involve . . . oh I don't know . . . maybe . . . Jane! She shouldn't be reduced to a back-up character. That's what I felt was her involvement in this episode. I don't know why I'm being bothered by this, because I really don't think there will be that many more episodes anyways. I really wanted to like this series. And I really wanted it to do well. But that's obviously not the case.
