It was a little weird, but still pretty funny.

So glad they didn't make him a regular ghost. I've disliked Andrew Leeds as an actor since he was a regular villain on Bones. He was equally punchable on the recent The Patient.


Anyhoo, generally it was a sweet, fun pair of episodes. Very glad they dropped them both at the same time & didn't make us wait for part 2.

They didn't really set him up to be a regular, he was only on these episodes so it seemed obvious he'd either die and "get sucked off" or he'd get revived somehow. Plus they did set up in the season 1 episode that Trevor and Bela actually had a connection, so it's not like he just randomly wants to bang somebody after all this time.

* not mean it in a judgmental way. My guess an eternity of past stories and no real interaction with the world around could drive everyone a bit that way.

Seems very in-character for Bela to only talk about her dramatic disaster of boyfriends than a guy she's been friends with and takes for granted.

lol I've thought the same, watching him on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist as a good guy husband/brother/son was weird for me. I was just thinking "when is he going to kill

[Show spoiler]or sexually harass (from A Million Little Things)

somebody?"

The car ghost idea and the character are working so far. I also like the addition of a 3rd regular Living to the cast.

[Show spoiler] And I also like how Freddie sees the keys on the laptop being pressed with no one being there to do it. That really got him intrigued.
