The last two episodes have been more like _Early Edition_ than _Medium_.  
Allison hasn’t communicated with a dead person to solve a crime, but been directed by some “power” to correct a wrong or do good.

That’s funny; I was definitely thinking of _Early Edition_ (and _Quantum Leap_) while watching Monday’s episode. It was almost like she was reliving the day, trying to make it right.

I figured it out about halfway through, though - who the lawyer was and how her illness tied in.

Missed the season premiere, so can’t comment on that – liked this week’s show, though.

Of course, I liked _Early Edition_ (well, the first season, anyway), so don’t have a problem with the show going in that direction.

Me, too. I think it’s great idea rather than just dreaming about or talking to dead folks.
