Small thing, but I appreciate how they gave us a new character by waking up a band member! Clever. Yuri is interesting, but maybe something's a little off there.

When Simon was trying to convince Nicole that he could talk to Maddie's spirit, seems like it didn't have to be that hard. If they wanted her on board, Simon and Maddie could have just worked together to answer questions or give her details that only Maddie would know. Now it seems like everyone is more or less on board even if they don't fully believe so we're past that but that dragged on a bit.

Glad this show came back for S2!

I wish they’d dropped all of the episodes at once.  I’m enjoying this season, too.

I'm trying not to watch all of the episodes they put out at once, but its hard, the plot keeps thickening! My first thought is that Janet and Mr. Martin were in a student/teacher romance that became a murder/suicide, but now it seems too obvious. I stand by my theory that its not a coincidence that this school has such a high mortality rate, but was it Janet or Mr. Martin? Or both? 

I like the two new ghosts, I have been wondering about some of the other ghosts we only see glimpses of. Charlie and Yuri certainly have a vibe, good for him. 

Poor Wally, he's a sad angry puppy. He and Maddie are really cute, even though it seems like it cant last if Maddie is still technically alive.

I just discovered this show over the weekend, started binging and am delighted there's a second season! I know she may be possibly psychotic (although who could blame her), but I feel bad for Janet and also Rhonda. All these girls wanted to do was go to college and they were punished for it, Janet by her abusive prick misogynist dad and Rhonda by her guidance counselor who was seeking an inappropriate relationship. Honestly, I'd be an angry ghost too, although we still don't know a lot of details about Janet, the fire, or the time she spent in the fallout shelter. 

Maddie and Wally are adorable, and Simon grates far less when he's part of the Scooby team this season than he did in season one where he always seemed like he was going to start screaming the word "friendzone" at Maddie's ghost at any given moment.

As I just mentioned in the last epi thread, I wish they'd bring back the theater ghost. Seems like she could maybe wake up like Quinn the band ghost did, and start to engage with the core four. I love Yuri and Quinn.  Wish they would have been politer and INVITED Yuri to go with them.  They weren't overly polite to Quinn either, but she just tagged along, so good for her!  

I read shorthand too! I take notes in shorthand sometimes on the phone.  I'm part of a dying breed, in my 50's. They offered the class in my high school, back in the 80's when I attended in Wally's era. 

What era is Yuri from? And I can't remember when the band bus crashed either. Looks like Janet and the teacher are from the 50's, Rhonda from the 60's, Dawn was from the 70's, Wally from the 80's, and Charlie from the 90's.

Yuri is from the late 70s, and the bus crash was in the early 00s, I think 2004? Since the 50s there have been a few per decade, with the exception of the 2010's if you count Maddie in the 2020s. Quinn is a Veronica Mars fan, like I was in 2004 as a high schooler! 

Nobody tell her about the Hulu revival season, the poor girl has been through enough.
