And “Michael Jackson” can quit his job to make it with the hot innkeeper and her sister. Twins, y’all! Now MJ is also legend.

This is not political, promise. Do you think the next episode of Ghosts (which airs two days after a presidential election day that has a woman candidate for a major party)… do you think there is a version of that episode with a few lines about the election if Harris wins? These ghosts are rather political, with Isaac as a founding father wannabe and Sass’s pointed remarks and Hetty with her women shouldn’t vote schtick and Alberta who probably voted in the first election after the 19th amendment and Flower the straight up activist? Do you think there is a version with a scene acknowledging—if Harris is elected—a woman president? Or were all the episodes filmed before she became a candidate? Maybe this situation is why webisodes exist.

I loved when Sass explained to Patience that the couple got married in the car and that did the trick. It was an unexpected pairing and I laughed. There is a lot of comic potential for her character. I like her in the house! Yes, there are too many ghosts now. I have mixed feelings about dropping Nigel to make room for her, though. I want all the core ghosts to stay and Nigel and Nancy are core now.

UGH. This is showing. It’s clearly a lot of fun for everyone involved who are totally amusing themselves first and foremost but it’s becoming tedious to watch. The story seems to be serving the whims of the actors rather than the actors finding space for fun in a story. Were the main three ALWAYS executive producers on this show? I think this season is inexcusably self-indulgent for them and their best friends.

I don’t know if this is the right thread to posit this idea but I’m suddenly wondering… Is Molly Shannon Sazz’s estranged sister? It would explain some things. They are both in the movie business. I confess I’m not really paying attention to details. This is vibes-based speculation and a half memory of a question from the waving around a gun in Sazz’s storage shed episode.

Although… was Evan’s advice to the kid good advice? Especially to avoid the nondenominational queer kids who were probably straight? The 90s were different. We don’t like it now when Boomers give us outdated advice. He delivered said advice horribly though.

The bust is a tribute to Kevin Malone, obvs.

I agree and thought that she was going to break up with Thor before he confessed to her.

Something was off for sure. I have a whole TED Talk ready that I’ll keep to myself about the writing or maybe editing of this episode. The plot at the village simply did not make sense. I loved the series. I loved the character development. I loved the scenery and the imagery. I love where we ended in the story. I am happy to end with everyone paused on a precipice, waiting for the next thing to happen, in the moment where all dreams could come true. They stuck the landing! But the writing went awry. I’m not sure what happened with that script. Like I don’t even know where to start with the Toranaga/Blackthorne/Erasmus/Seppuku/FishermanSpy debacle. Luckily, I care more about emotions and character relationships than plot. :)

Blackthorne has a dream… Toranaga has a dream… We know what happens in the book, we know what happened in history, but the show ends with a boat partially ashore and Anjin-sama telling everyone to rest now. We can imagine whatever we like happening next to these characters.

At least Bill has the notoriety now that Goldbug failed and can build his own brand. If Juno dissolved the Fortunato enterprise I wonder if that automatically voids the BILLT copyright. I am sure she would sign it over to him anyway. Plenty of agents would happily shepherd him to a new fame. I think Bill escaped the happiest. He didn’t see Tammy break down and her death wasn’t THAT gory. And no living creatures were involved.

Henry Thomas was born in 1971 playing a guy born in 1975 or 1976. He doesn’t look like a California Early 50s but he looks his age. It doesn’t stand out to me.

I thought they poisoned him with cyanide? And were surprised he took so long to die? The candle is throwing me off about their intentions. Bricking him up conscious after being surprised by him waking up and even taunting him I can see but having a pillar candle already lit? Why have that unless you were performing morbid symbolism on someone who would suffer from it?

I am hoping I don’t have to worry about Lenore; I am hoping we will learn that Morella was unfaithful to Freddy and that Lenore is not an Usher by blood and I hope that would protect her. I am hoping Juno is not pregnant and can truly escape. And I am hoping that she is in the will even though Roderick didn’t say so when pressed by his progeny a few episodes back.

Well, he’s already had one love affair that broke convention and nothing actually terrible happened. He didn’t lose status. He didn’t lose his home. He just had an ugly breakup. Isaac hasn’t really faced down his fears like Nigel did. Isaac has only faced them. He has no experience of going through with it and being ok to give him confidence.
