The first half of Ghost Hunter gave us a few of the finest Ghosts scenes but. It was stuffed with excessive stakes, drama, unbelievable punchlines, and a very good thriller.
Sam and Jay’s assistant, Freddie, goes ghost-hunting after he begins listening to ethereal buzzing sounds and sees the keyboard on the laptop computer getting pressed “magically” by the safety footage. It’s a superbly amusing premise for a present that does not normally provide plenty of “common non-ghosts believing” people, and the chances had been really limitless. His relentless searching leads him to buy a Ghost Trap, which seems to be nothing greater than a toy appropriate for infants aged two and underneath. Or is it? *insert Alberta’s buzzing sounds right here*
Above anything, Ghost Hunter shifts the main target again to its two essential leads: Sam and Jay. It’s refreshing and pleasantly enjoyable to look at them do the whole lot they will to cease Freddie from discovering the reality concerning the ghosts, and issues get (unsurprisingly) progressively worse when Thor and Flower get caught within the precise Ghost Trap. There’s a advantageous line between science fiction and actuality that Ghosts has by no means been too scared to cross earlier than, however this episode takes it to a complete different stage because it traps two of its ghosts (later three when Pete makes a sacrificial bounce) inside a machine. I’m all right here for extra out-of-ordinary, high-stakes shenanigans like this.
The enjoyable of Ghost Hunter got here within the type of all of our ghosts (Sass excluded as he was busy along with his new girlfriend) swarmed across the ghost entice, taking sniffs off a cookie, making an attempt to determine whether or not it was actual or not. It’s the type of absurd, hilarious but mysterious scene that I want this present did extra of versus splitting the ensemble forged into subplots, particularly after Jay walks in and eats the cookie atop the machine, unbeknownst that Thor simply bought trapped away, leaving the opposite ghosts screaming and crying. Every ghost will get an opportunity to shine because of a decent script and distinctive actors, however I’d be remiss to not (as soon as once more) share my love for the whole lot Rebecca Wisocky does or says. She’s simply that phenomenal.
There wasn’t a doubt in my thoughts that Thor, Flower and Pete would all be saved by episode’s finish (primarily as a result of it isn’t time but for the Big Suck!), however I do love that the episode packs in a bunch of hilarious one-liners and zingers because it raises the stakes. Unfortunately, I felt just like the second half of the episode pulls the rug far too abruptly, first with the reveal that Freddie is leaving. His presence, whereas not all the time the funniest, added a wholly new and unique dynamic to the present, particularly with the ghosts struggling to just accept one other residing being taking Sam’s time away from them. In addition, I really feel like there was potential for Freddie and Jay to get to know one another on a a lot deeper, nerdier stage than the writers had been keen to discover; if he ever returns, I positive do hope the present decides to provide the character a chance to return to life–maybe even have Sam reveal that she will see ghosts.
While I’m additionally undoubtedly unhappy to see Jessica go away, her relationship with Sass by no means really materialized into one thing deep. Much like Freddie, I discovered her to be a intelligent new addition to the present, particularly with all of the world-building surrounding her incapacity to enter the home. For a second, I actually thought the present was going to have her get sucked into the ghost entice in an try to interrupt the automobile curse and mix her in with the remainder of the ghosts. Here’s hoping she makes a return sooner reasonably than later (and one thing about Sass’ ultimate look has me hopeful)!
Overall, one other stable episode in a season that is been nothing wanting entertaining and hilarious.
