Fun episode to watch if you're a Janine fan.

I've thought Janine really rocked as a Ghostbuster and her becoming a hero at the end of the episode, I also loved the scenes with Slimer in the Containment Unit, Janine becoming a Ghostbuster, her rescuing the guys who were kidnapped by Proteus the God and the Ghostbusters fighting off the other ghosts, definitely one of the better episodes of the Series, definitely recommended if you're a Janine fan.

Going at it alone.

This episode is another honorable mention in my book. There's really not much I can say it was really cool just seeing Janine take things on herself (ok, not totally by herself she has Slimer as her number 2) and be in the Ghostbusters role once more. It makes me wonder why the hell she didn't get to be a Ghostbuster in the second film.

You do see some action with the Ghostbusters themselves which is good as usual, it was cooling seeing them dismantling situation after situation. Though at the same time exhausting as their overbooked, at that point they should seriously think about franchiseing their business. But the highlight of the action was seeing them fight the Atlas statue, whom I'll admit made me nervious sort of reminds me of Talos from "Jason and the Argonauts" That statue was just intimidating and is unfortunately hard to stop as it's exterior provides strong defense from the "Ghostbuster's" proton blasts and also it has magical powers which have entrapped all the Ghostbusters.

Ghostbusting in Jannie's apartment was just a warm up, the disapearence of the Ghostbusters is her real mission. I really like how Jannie reacts and handles things where I feel puts a lot of emphasize on her character because it's how we might if ever in her shoes. Three of the Ghostbusters are trained scientists and Winston was a former Marine (according to the IDW comics), Janine is just an ordinary woman untrained in dealing with ghosts and dangerous sittuations but what makes her all the more endearing is the fact that she does what must be done anyway to the best of her ablities because no one else will or can, which is one of the reasons I really like her character and what makes her a true Ghostbuster.

Rating: 3 and a half stars
