| Episode 4 – Season 1
|
A powerful group of poltergeist is haunting New York City
and the Ghostbusters have been tracking them for three days. Slimer gets in trouble with Peter so he
leaves the firehouse and unknowingly joins the poltergeist. Can the guys save Slimer before it’s too
late?

The
Ghostbusters are out trying to figure out why the poltergeist can be so
roaming. I wonder who hired them for
this job. Apparently poltergeists are
bound to a specific locale and can’t even hurt humans. The spirits they’re chasing seem to have a
bigger ghost feeding off of smaller ones to stay charged up so to speak. It’s not the best formula we’ve seen so far
ghosts and honestly I’m not impressed much.
They encounter the ghost along with the big one and get defeated as the
ghosts escape. Egon can’t believe
it. As they searched for the ghosts they
didn’t use the PKE meter in the alley.
I’d keep it out to pinpoint exactly where they were in order to capture
them.

On the
way back to the firehouse its Winston’s birthday and a party is planned to
surprise him. The scene cuts to Winston
entering the firehouse alone in the dark without ecto-1 parked inside. The guys and Janine shout surprise as Winston
becomes overjoyed. Timeout, so I’m
guessing they pushed Winston out of the car before they reached the firehouse
then parked the car outside while setting up for a surprise birthday
shout? Did I miss something? The moment comes as a cake big enough to have
a stripper inside, I’m sure Winston would enjoy that, comes rolling out and
Slimer devours it in one gigantic gulp, awesome. What if a stripper really was in there and
Slimer ate her? Explain that to the
police, ha-ha! Peter erupts with a funny
line, “
Are you kidding, he helps himself to everything that’s not nailed down
or on fire.” Ray prior to that commented
how Slimer can’t help himself, well put!
Peter scolds the slime off Slimer forcing Slimer to leave. I like the hatred of Peter towards that gooey
green gunk.
Slimer
writes a goodbye note then heads off, the music is rather fitting for the scene
I’m shocked. He joins the poltergeist
and everybody is happy right? Not
exactly, Janine discovers the note and they blame Peter for the aftermath of
it. They go in search of Slimer while
Peter stays home. They split up and have
minor scenes that don’t mean much to the episode.

| The animation was sacrificed in this one |
The big
ghost takes Slimer out to frighten people, why?
Aren’t the ghosts going to be absorbed into the big one anyway? What’s the point in going out to scare some
dumb humans? Do they need one or two
more scares to achieve full power? It’s
really just a poor attempt to get Peter slimed so he knows where Slimer
is. I don’t like it. By the way Peter eventually joined in on the
searching of Slimer. The guys see that
Slimer is inside the other ghost as they locate the big one. Egon informs the guys to set your proton
frequency to Slimer to rip him out, its’ a believable enough idea to do. They pull him out and the big one takes away
their packs. They scramble everywhere to
flee except back to where the proton packs lay on the floor. They headed for the doors even, be brave its
embarrassing. They panic and don’t even
try to get the throwers back, how stupid.
Slimer again saves them; this is getting annoying, I’m sick of him
always rescuing them. He picks up a
thrower and blasts the wood flooring suspending them all in the air about to be
absorbed into the big ghost. They fall, and
then capture the ghost, easy as that.
They fall from a high height, nobody injures themselves? They rush the trap back to the containment
unit and redo Winston’s birthday. They
roll out a garbage cake that Slimer eats right away then blah blah, let’s call
this one ended.
It’s
not well written and fails on the ghost factor and history at least. You need either a big time ghost with a name
at least or some back history. I wasn’t
all too impressed and wouldn’t recommend seeing this one until you’ve watched
the better episodes. I usually can
overlook the animation in an episode if the story is solid but this time I can’t. The proton beams were a greenish hue and the
animation in general was cheap looking.
It just makes for an unfortunate poor episode, sorry fellow Ghostbuster fans
but it’s the truth and you know it.
