The whole show was really good then the final ending with Aussie stripper guy now being a ghost. Can't wait to see Issac's reaction.

Well they didn't win any WITH him either.

It was totally 100% their fault. There was no bad taxi karma, just a dumb team that didn't read their inside info part of the clue with the info in Chinese they were to show the taxi drivers. Season 3. But Seasons 1 and 2 didn't even get that. Colin, is that you? Well I will withhold judgement on Jonathan because when Colin & Christie returned years later he was a cool, totally changed dude and I rooted them on to victory. But right now I like the 7 Applications Are Finally the Charm Guys and Pops & Jeff the best. The green shirted guys looked really competent. I don't get why they have two things in their description with the "/ Games" bit. What does that even mean?

Of course. It (the selling your soul to the devil bit) would have been in the fine print of the contract. So if Jay failed to read the fine print - and who really does these days - it would be his mistake and on him. The devil does not play fair. In the famous musical "Damn Yankees" (1955 is the film version) the contract is spelled out but there is an escape clause. And many a person would have sold their soul to the devil to have the Yankees lose the pennant, lol. (It gave us old standards like "You Gotta Have Heart"and "Whatever Lola Wants" in it btw). Anyway maybe even if someday one of them ends up tricked into signing the contract I bet there will be an escape clause in it somehow.

She didn't self-medicate. Her drug use was more what doctors gave as a pick me up vitamin back in the day as cocaine wasn't illegal and prescribed frequently. Thus the comedic set-up used on the show.

People with autism are on a spectrum.

Not a bad first episode. I didn't care for Steph's "vibes" so it was fine by me she is gone and off to commune with the stars. I was surprised the time seemed to fly by really quickly especially since it was a 2 hour episode. Wasn't bored at all.

I think Flower is suppose to be the typical flower child of the late 60's so yeah she should be in her 70's now. Why would it have anything to do with an real actor's age instead of the age the ghost should have been when she died?

So tonight is 2 hours??? I have an important baseball fantasy draft tomorrow early. I need this evening to cram some more info on deeper prospects, dammit! This is going to keep me up too late. 🤣

Why the 80"s. She should be in her 70's.

And he managed not to slice his hand up on the shattered coffee cup like Jon Stewart did on The Daily Show when he went after Muck last night. But I do LOVE Jon's strong passion better.

Wow, probably before T.J. Thyne was even cast as "King of the Lab" Jack Hodgins in "Bones" for it's 12 year stint.

Voss actor was the Worm Boy for years and years on "Bones." Only interesting thing about the episode really.

Yeah next to making the husband, Mike, as dumb as a doorknob the second worse thing for me was Thomas stalking Allison all the time. Brits say that that is in character with the English "romantic poets" of the 1820's always over-the-top pining away for "love" and is a "thing" UK viewers get. But for us across the pond it just makes Thomas look like a creepy stalker. And yeah like mentioned above, Trevor was originally assigned that attribute from the Brit series but happily it got dropped quickly and he and we both moved on. I read in a post here that Kitty is based on a real historic character as in there was a half Black young lady in high society back then. Something about an English governor in one of the British Caribbean territories being her father and when he died his brother officially adopted her and brought her back to England. But that doesn't mean that young woman was in any way like Kitty personality-wise. Just that there was historically one Black young lady in English high society in that period. Personally I'm not a Kitty fan as nobody could be that naive and live. She makes peasant woman Mary look like Einstein in comparison. And those two women basically became merged into Flower in the US show. The only thing in common between Kitty and Alberta is skin color. Otherwise they are total opposites with Alberta being totally worldly-wise in caparison. Alberta is probably the most original US character as a result.

They stop screaming at Allison to move out but yeah they talk over each other more than the US series. And the ending was the worst possible outcome those writers could have thought up. So the British "downer" pov as in nothing can end happily ever and the whole reason that brought it about made absolutely no sense at all to me. But yes it is worth seeing the whole series. The British don't bring as much heart to the characters most of the time because their culture is all bottled up about showing much emotion still though there are a couple of shows where they let it out a little. But it remains witty and funny and there are a few episodes that are real home runs. But having the "living" husband, Mike, made more into a second rate idiot to Allison who is shown as the only smart one is probably the worst thing about the show except the ending. He remains scared of the ghosts most of the time. Terrible. Jay's equally smart as Sam's character who embraces the ghosts is far far superior in my opinion. The ghosts don't grow or change as much since their seasons (number of episodes) are super short so there is no time to develop them much. In the end Robin ended up my favorite ghost since he ended up showing the most heart and wisdom in some ways. PS: Note that the person that plays Thomas played the British "method actor" in the "Dumb Deaths" episode in the American series.
