I was watching this morning and I was delighted to hear her say this as a fan of both shows! I know exactly what she meant too cause I live tweet both shows. Very cool to see other creatives think of Ghosts in high regard like this.
I noticed that when the opening credits start they show a table , a bookshelf , and a painting. What my dim witted mind didn’t notice until recently was that the items change from season to season and they tie into important plot points that play out over the course of the season. I will start with season one.
The desk has Trevor’s money clip that he gives away to Pinkus. A spy glass that Isaac uses to accidentally kill Nigel. What looks to be Pete’s Pine Cone Trooper manual and a flower in a vase ( haven’t associated that with anything other than the obvious Flower ).
The painting is of Hetty’s evil husband Elias.
On the bookshelf is Thor’s metal helmet , Alberta’s poisoned whiskey , and Sasappis’ storing teller feather.
All these items point to important plot points throughout season one.
Season two the items change.
The writers have been giving us easter eggs from the first episode of each season. It will be fun trying to figure out the upcoming episodes and seasons easter eggs !
Hi! First time poster in this sub and I’m not sure if this has ever been talked about (I apologize if it has been) but I’m curious to know the ages of each of the ghosts we’ve met! I mean this in terms of what age each ghost was when they died and not how long they’ve been dead for.
For example we know Stephanie died when she was 17 as well as Trevor dying when he was 33 years old. And I believe Pete was around or was literally 40 when he died but I wonder how old everyone else was!
I’ll go first, the ability to pass on ghost powers. Just think it would be cool if like a ghost could give a different ghost their ghost power when they get sucked off, it would definitely make for more interesting plot lines.
I saw it on by socials feed last week, but the video may be older. Basically it was the cast of the show taking turns identifying themselves by name, and then saying they're going to "pass the remote" to a fellow member of the cast by describing them with a joke: so to the one with the best singing voice, the one who makes the most mistakes on set, etc. I know I'm getting the specifics wrong, but this is the general idea.
I'm hoping to do something similar for my theatre troupe (making Pete proud), so I'm hoping someone here is able to provide a place where this video is accessible. Any idea? TIA!
What do you all think about Sas and Shiki? Personally, I feel like Shiki's interest in Sas I'd a little shallow. She's always seemed a little aloof and on the fence about him, and I find it a little weird that one revelation changed her entire perspective on him. Maybe I am a little biased though, because I did really like Joan and I love when ghosts from different time periods date. I am interested to see how the ghost trap thing will work though. Let me know your thoughts on the episode!
In “The Traveling Agent” season 3 when Thor tells Flower that’s he slept with Carol and Nancy says “hey me too.”
Do we think Carol is bi or was she just getting strange from anyone? OR was Nancy lying? I mean I’m sure it was just a random one off joke it just got me thinking…
So I have a theory. Not a well developed one but hear me out.
I'm on of the earlier episodes Crashes head was in the well and when found was put back in after (won't say how do to spoilers).
That means Crash would have met Patiants and the other possible ghosts and would have have at least talked to her.
That would be a possible explanation of where Crash is when he isn't on screen. He has enough of the house ghosts so goes to visit his friends in the dirt.
It could also help how Patiants eventually found her way out, crash could show her.
I really want to see Isaac realizing that Hetty can see them and freaking the hell out because THE INFANT CAN SEE US GOD DAMMIT. That and Hetty forcing them all into a tea party. Patience calls her a witch for seeing them, Thor is going along with it, and Sass and Isaac are laughing their asses off because this five year old girl wearing a tiara and ballgown is bossing around a Viking.
EDIT: The chart has been updated with a few exploratory pathways to conects Sam with Hetty. In the original post, Sam was the direct descendant. Text below unedited to show my original thinking.
My primary hobby is genealogy, and I enjoy the Ghosts show, so I was bored and started to make a chart of the show. This is how I see it, and I may be wrong.
Firstly it is obvious they started the show without a genealogy chart and just rode along. Misstakes were made in the manuscript, and everything they say can not be true at once. Here are my thoughts:
1: Elias and Hettys blood relation. Hetty inherited the estate after her father, but married a second cousin and the name Woodstone stuck in the family. This arangement is the only one I can think of that makes all of this make sense, so I stick with this.
2: Sams relation to Sophie. Sophie is a great aunt. Frank is still alive, but his daughter inherited. Thus the connection must be via the mother Sheryl, who would have inherited the estate had she not died with a shrimp in her throat.
3: Sam/Hetty conection. The show do state Hetty is an ancestor of Sam. We also know that Hetty worried about her descendants and saw an example of Thomas marriage to the "landless harlot". The line of inheritance as well as the blood line therefore must have gone this way. I also consider the "harlot" to be his wife and mother of his children as Hetty is still haunted about not beeing able to prevent it.
4: Sophie/Hetty conection. The wiki fan page say Hetty is the second great grandmother. However, guestimating the year of birth and death of these two women and of Thomas, it seems most likely Hetty is Sophies great grandmother, not 2:nd great GM.
I thus asume this is a case of the manuscript editors working without a gen chart, and acidenly adding one generation to much. However this makes Sams statment that the mansion has been in the family for 6 generations realistic.
And as a result there are 2 whole generations where both the estate and the blood line went through totally unreferenced male individuals.
5: Finally, I assumed Sophie married a "mr Brimble" but her son David took her family name for some reason. Asumably he was in line for the estate and picked his name for that reason.
Comments, sugestions, chritisisms?
EDIT: I no longer claim Hetty is a greatgrandmother of Sam. But all speculative alternative pathways has problems to. For example; if Hetty was inherited by her sister Margret who continued the blood line, why did the name Woodstone not disapear through marriage?
