I thought the same thing. Those photos were so eerie. And the story about the box. Jesus Christ. Same. Between them, Diane and Summer, and the FBI agent who kept working the case even when his superiors didn't want him to, I feel like they could all open up their own private detective agency or something. They were amazing and I'm so glad they were so dedicated and so through in their efforts. Just such a shame that it feels like it was all for naught - I don't care how old this guy gets, he should never, EVER get out on parole. Ever. I was so terrified that we'd find out something horrible had happened to Diane. And then you've got John's girlfriend Sheila, who was shocked to find out that he'd been married much of the time they'd been together, as well as the woman that was about to take her daughter, leave her husband, and marry him. I hope they are all constantly thanking their lucky stars, 'cause damn. My mom speculated about this, and i'd wondered, too, if we'd find out that John's name was a cover. John Smith is such a common, ordinary name, it almost feels like it HAS to be a cover name for someone like him. Shows how cocky he got, though, at having gotten away with his crimes for so long - he made so many mistakes with his lies (the stuff about the suitcases, for instance) and you could tell, on his phone call with Sheila, that he was struggling to keep all his lies and stories straight*. He got sloppy. *I was struck by that moment in hos phone call with Sheila when he was like, 'I don't think she's dead, but I do think someone might've killed her." Um....? But yeah. This was a wild story from start to finish.

I don't know if it's so much second thoughts, per se, as it is just the reality of the fact he's about to marry Nigel is REALLY starting to hit him, or will hit him soon. Keep in mind this is not only the first relationship he's been in since his marriage to Beatrice, which was over two centuries ago, but it's also his first relationship with another man and the one he's had a thing for for pretty much all of those two centuries. And unlike his marriage to Beatrice, which ended with his death, his marriage to Nigel literally WILL be for all eternity. So yeah. I'm not surprised if the realization of all of that is sinking in and making him feel a bit overwhelmed and nervous and second guessing himself and whatnot. I don't doubt he wants to be with Nigel, though. He just has a tendency to get into his head a lot and let his nerves get the better of him. Plus, someone needs to stay behind at the B&B. You never know when a guest might wander through :D.

Yeah, I really love the "Ghosts" cast, too. They all seem like a fun, cool, lovely group of people and I just really like that they're so close on and off the set. This cast in general was new to me when I first checked out this show, and it's been so great getting to become familiar with a new set of actors - i've been trying to go through and check out their other work outside "Ghsots" as well.

Maybe he does and we just haven't figured it out yet. There was an interview with the actor who plays Pete where he suggested that there will be some kind of limitations on this power. Someone over at TV Line suggested that maybe the farther away Pete travels, the more exhausted he becomes, and that can wind up being a limitation of sorts ofr him. Which is a theory I like :D.

Well, the cast does film the show in Montreal, so...close enough :D.

That's been a common thread of speculation, yeah! It would make sense if their boundaries were different to some degree - the car ghost had her own specific little boundary, so it's only logical the others would have something similar. It would be fun to explore that more in depth - it's one thing to have one ghost being able to go anywhere, but to have everyone all having their different boundaries, that could be a really entertaining thing to play with, and to see how the ghosts would react to this revelation.

...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that hint about the finale has me sitting here all O___O now. Hm. Hm, hm, hmmmmm...

So excited for this episode :D.

Oh, I LIKE this resolution to the whole awkward situation with Thor and Nancy and Flower. They've found their third! Also makes sense that Flower would both defend Nancy and be open to her being part of the relationship given we know she's on friendly terms with the cholera ghosts. And Nancy and Carol! And Carol hooking up with Baxter! Amazing. Just amazing :D. As for Pete, wow, he had quite a time of it his first night out in town. What the hell happens at that store that there's people with meat cleavers in their heads haunting it?! I LOVED the detail of the ghosts who died by being trampled to death on Black Friday, though, LOL. That's perfect. But of course he would make it back home with his scout training. And he's willing to go back out in the world again, to the point of going on a plane! Wow. That's a huge development for both him and the ghost lore/world in general, so I'll be really curious to see how they deal with that going forward in general. I absolutely cracked up at Isaac struggling to describe a bus, and the running thing of Jay just going to any Sonic in the area :p. And LOL at Sam's reaction upon finding out that Isaac and Nigel were planning to honeymoon in her and Jay's room XD. So torn about next week, 'cause on the one hand I'm so excited to see what hapepns in that episode, but on the other hand, last episode of the season :(. But yeah. Very, very curious and anxious to see how that plays out.

"Yellowstone. It never ends." "There's so many prequels, eventualy it's just going to be cavemen in Montana." I've never even seen a second of Yellowstone, and that exchange made me laugh XD. Becky not have much luck with trying to give advice tonight, huh :p? But yeah, Darlene really doesn't need to freak out about her and Ben - yeah, the schedule will be tough for them to work around, but many couples do it every day and manage just fine, so as long as they figure out a method that works best for them, they'll be fine, too. I can understand where Harris would have a panic attack, after all she's been through. Glad she was able to get some help for that, hopefully that makes things easier for her going forward.

The actor who plays Trevor theoirzed as much last season when commenting on the coupling up that was going on among the ghosts :p. But honestly, I personally think this is not the first time any of these ghosts have either hooked up or at least considered hooking up with each other. They've all been here for a long (VERY long, in some cases) time, that's a lot of centuries/decades to go by without showing much, if any, romantic interest in anyone else. Especially given how lonely and ioslated they were for much of that time - if nothing else, I can buy that they'd seek each other out for some companionship, if not because of any romantic feelings. As for Thor/Flower, I think they manage to both balance each other out and have a few notable things in common. He's more aggressive where she's more chill, they've both had dark aspects of their respective pasts (he pillaged villages, she was in a cult), they both have experience with being separated from their families (Thor when he sailed to America, Flower when she became estranged from her family due to her time in the cult), they bonded over their shared history with loss last season - she lost Michael, and we learned this season about Thor having lost other romantic partners he'd had in the past, with Louella and Flat Maria. For all their belief that they don't have much in common, they actually share a lot more than I think even they fully realize. Eh, not necessarily. The show could just as easily end with everyone's lives/afterlives continuing on like normal, we just won't be able to pop in and see what they're up to each week anymore. That and (spoilering this in regards to the British version): I honestly don't know if we'll ever fully find out just what it is that's keeping all these ghosts here, and I don't think we can be certain that any new deveopments, be they romantic or resolving some long-standing issue or whatever, will be the magic key that allows them to move on. I've said before that I think it's a combination of a lot of factors that are keeping them here. And frankly, I think the only way we'll ever actually potentially lose any of these ghosts for good is either if they do go that route of having them all sucked off in the series finale, or if one of the actors were to choose to leave for one reason or another. Barring that, I think everyone's here to stay. And I'm totally fine with that. I don't want to lose any of these characters, be they main or recurring.

I like all the couples, myself. I think they're all entertaining in their own ways. I do have a particular soft spot for Isaac and Nigel, but yeah, I think every pairing on here is fun and cute and interesting.

That version of "Somebody That I Used to Know" sounded like an emo rock artist cover version :p. I didn't mind that version, but it was rather pitchy at times, and I think if he hadn't been jumping all over the stage that might've helped make it not sound so pitchy. There's owning/commanding the stage and then there's just...flailing about.

Archuleta's story about his mom's response to him coming out was really moving and touching. Good for her. Well said.

That was a big thing in the original series when it was on FOX as well. The judges would constantly criticize the contestants for not grasping the emotion and meaning of these songs...on a night when the theme is songs from the '50s or '60s or whatnot, which were well before the contestants were born. So either the show needs to stop having kids singing songs from before their time if they think they can't connect well to them, which probably isn't feasible and would seriously limit a lot of what they could sing, or, yeah, give them more opportunity to better connect to the lyrics of the song they're doing, regardless of the time period it came out in. Because I agree, just because a song came out before your time doesn't mean you can't possibly still connect to it and its meaning. That's the whole point of classic songs like the sort the contestants were singing, they've endured as long as they have because people can still connect to them decades after they came out. So it shouldn't have been that difficult for these contestants to find that connection here, too.
