So here we are in mid August, with the cast back at work and info trickling in. This time last year we had some juicy spoilers; this time, not so much. I’ll reveal what I’ve been able to glean so far (which admittedly isn’t much); betwixt now and when the season begins (near Halloween) we can speculate, express our hopes, and reveal any new info that comes our way. When the season starts, this thread will be general discussion.
I have two minor spoilers
First, Patience will have a larger role and may play a part in the resolution of the Elias/Jay situation. I think we all expected the Jay situation to dominate at least the first few episodes of S5.
Second, I read that they’re going to “expand” Flower’s Ghost Power. I don’t really know what that means; the only other power for her that I can think of is maybe making the Living horny, but that’s Elias’ power. The article I read speculates that the writers may use this as a jumping off point for expanding other Ghost Powers.
My expectations and hopes
We still don’t know how Sessapis died. That may or may not be revealed in S5. I hope so.
I also continue to hope that’s Jay & Sam baby will be happening in the next couple of seasons. That will throw the Ghosts into a frenzy. Maybe Sam will have fraternal twins and name them Henrietta and Thorfinn.
How many of the ghosts can directly communicate to someone other than Sam if they chose?
Directly:
Trevor- via telekinesis
Hetty- every March 17th maybe, have to see.
Alberta- via Alexa
Sass via dreams
Patience-via blood, maybe could form actual words if she chose
Elias- as hell’s representative.
Indirectly, via Morse code etc. if they managed to attract somebody.
Alberta- humming without Alexa
Thor
Isaac, Flower and the Cholera ghosts are probably too vague to set up communication.
When she died, she was on drugs and being mauled by a bear, right? And now she can make folks experience what it’s like to be on drugs? Maybe she can make folks experience what it’s like to be mauled by a bear…
I’m one who really did not like Patience at first. I’m not crazy about her yet, but they seem to have fleshed her out (ha!) a bit and she’s getting a little more likable. I can see a showdown between her and Elias( maybe ending in romance?).
I’m looking forward to the new season and hoping the writing goes back to the quality of the earlier ones.
Oh, good one I’ve only just started to warm up to her character, but to be fair, she did live in the dirt for centuries. I think she deserves ascension.
