I don't think there is any thing mean spirited at all. Technically that was Mark's nephew he was baby sitting that day. And just adding that now the nephew would be older and probably grown out of his ability to see ghosts as well.

Good catch. It was like the US writers took all of the UK ghosts attributes and spread them around in a hybrid pattern in the most part.

I think Thorfinn and the Captain are somewhat closer. They both talk about fighting endlessly (the Danes / Germans) and though the Captain really isn't, both present themselves as gung-ho warriors. And both were calmed down from their oppositions to the "living" couple early on by seeing documentaries on the new technologies. A UK documentary on WWII tank battles and a PBS documentary on Vikings. Yes a good part of the Captain and Issac line-up too obviously but Issac also has some of Julian's characteristics since they are always dropping names of the political movers and shakers in their days and feel like they are at the center of all things historic. The Captain had no interest in politics and movers and shakers by contrast. Now Trevor/Julian share a lack of pants and big ladies man egos but Trevor is younger and has an early crush on Sam mirroring Thomas' endless crush on Allison. Meanwhile Sass shares a love of words and story telling with Thomas (oral vs written) though Sass is actually good with words while Thomas is terrible. Except for Pete/Pat and Hetty/Fanny there aren't that many one-to-one direct matches and Fanny is older than Hetty and died by her husband's hand. Even Flower isn't 100% Kitty. Mary is a very big part of Flower too. I think Robin is the one that doesn't really have a direct link to any American ghost unless you want to say to Thorfinn only because they are the oldest remaining ghosts on the property but the difference is thousands and thousands and thousands of years and Robin was never a warrior. Actually Sass is the oldest "native" to the particular land and his character has a bit of gentleness to him somewhat like Robin. So maybe Sass is a wee bit of a Thomas/Robin hybrid. I guess what I am saying is the American writers did a good job of changing most of the ghosts from the start while still making a lot of their attributes similar to the UK ones.

No Europeans were in the area of the Hudson River valley when Sass died in 1519.

And Trevor (writing on steam on the bathroom mirror) let Jay know that Sam was lying about Pete not wanting to play D&D with him any more. Jay isn't put upon at all. Sam isn't some evil person on a power trip because of her ghost connections. If anything she has to deal with constant demands and emotional drama from the ghosts all the time while Jay gets to avoid all that. Everybody, both alive and dead, are doing just fine in Woodstone Manorland. They have also mentioned in quick passing at times that there were other ghosts in the past that were sucked off. No details or dates, just quick mentions leaving the door wide open for the writers to use in the future if they so choose. Also thanks to Wikipedia: The Puritans (Plymouth Colony) goes back as far as 1620 (the founding) and their hey day didn't last much past the 1670's, were pretty much done as a self-ruling entity by the 1680's and kind of officially incorporated into the secular colony of Massachusetts in 1691. So Patience would have been kicked out of there even earlier than 1700 historically speaking.

There were no horses in North America at that time. The Spanish conquistadors introduced the animal to the Americas and escaped horses would just be starting to form small herds of wild ones that plains tribes would soon capture and domesticate but not even there in the year 1513. Northeastern tribes never used horses at all or only in small measure after the English and French arrived. They were woodland tribes where horses don't function too well.

Just no. It would totally ruin the whole basis of the show and lead to it's quick cancellation. Jay seeing the ghosts all the time would lead to just a typical "family comedy" of the parents (Sam and Jay) and the kids motif. No, no, no. A thousand times no. You don't destroy an absolute perfect and wonderfully unique set-up for some tired old sitcom genre.

It Jay could see the ghosts all the time the show would be cancelled since the whole point would be gone and the main cornerstone to most of the comedy. And THAT would make Utkarsh very VERY sad. It was fine the character of Jay got a brief glimpse to put faces to names but that is more than enough. Anything else in that regard completely ruins the show. And a big time hit show that every actor dreams of so please do no make Utkarsh sad by having the show cancelled because Jay can suddenly see ghosts all the time.

To further clarify it was the very last scene in the show. If you turned it off before the end you missed it. Because it was Jay's body and Jay's body can't see ghosts any more than when Hetty was in it. Different scenarios but in both cases neither could use Jay's eyes to see ghosts.

Wow, I don't know where to begin to comment. Fantastic. Thanks to everyone involved. Actors, writers, directors, all the production people. You guys gave me an early Christmas present!

CBS asked Survivor's producers to give them an extra episode this season so they decided on a 4 hour finale with part 1 and part 2 broadcast on different nights as a result. So now we have 4 hour finales. Me too. Got your back.

The have had this practice stuff from the very first time the fire challenge was introduced as in for years and years now. Adding wood to a fire is not MAKING at fire. Anybody can add wood to a fire. Only Sue could get sooty doing it is all.

Well that was pretty anti-climatic given Rachel was near impossible to not win entering into this last episode. She deserved it, sure. But she got a lot of lucky breaks too. I liked Sam way more. He did have to scramble all the way through the merge portion of the game where for some reason he was viewed as a big threat and never got handed help out of the blue or in some french fries.

I have absolutely zero memory of that. Thanks.

And I am not invested in him since I have never ever heard or seen him. Who is he? Is he from the mothership? Is his last name Bunny?
