it would've been very interesting if they made an episode where Becky & Sam visit Jamal and meet the rest of the team! but unfortunately, this was the last great episode of Ghostwriter! a lot of people shit on Hector being on the team but cut the guy some slack! i think it was a great move adding him to the team! he fits in very well and he sounds like a person who can solve mysteries with the team. i will agree that adding Casey to the mix was very idiotic and also adding a new Gaby?! COME ON!
Why couldnt the last episode be of figuring out who Ghostwriter was instead of feeling cheated with that ridiculous Attack of the Slime Monster episode.
In real life those British kids would've been hauled down to the police station for questioning. Anyone who knows just where to look for the victim is assumed to be involved with the crime!
@ajafogel yes he was - he was an ancestor of Jamal that was a slave that escaped and figured reading would be a powerful tool to help him be free - the creator revealed that later on after the show was cancelled
Damn, I can't believe this was the 3rd to last case.
Wouldn't it be so great if there was a reunion show?
I don' t understand why the good shows have to die young, and get replaced by utter crap, only 3 and a half seasons, for a show that had the potential to go on for 8-10.
Thats really scary startin at 1:25...I wonder if the guy was about to kill Jamal..Jamal was pleadin for mercy..the guy coulda had a weapon in his hand when they only showed his mean eyes.
@funkyhunk I would have so loved that if they had. Everyone who has ever seen ghostwriter, like Craig who joined in season one, but did not appear after the episode, should have been in a final episode. I would have loved it to see people like Catherine Canellan from "Just in Time" all together solving a one big case, perhaps even solving the big mystery of Ghostwriter and who he really was. I wonder if they put that barking dog memory in that book that they made for him int the first season?
Makes the comment I read about GW being Frank from "Just in Time" make even more sense. Frank was living on the street before the Doctor took him in...I'm not saying I believe it, but this and the other clues mentioned by a user in the last episode (What's with Alex?) are making it look a lot more believable.
Well, time travel probably won't happen until a fifth dimension is realized, in which time travel would then be doable. There's always some consistently linear variable that must take place.
@NightxAngell nope!!!! timeline is off...i'm going with the ansestor of jamal's escaped slave theory...especially since he remembers being chassed by dogs
For those of you who are interested in who Ghostwriter's identety is, it says in a New York Time's article from 1991 that the producer's intent was to have Ghostwriter be a famous 15-16th Centery Writer, but not Shakespeare.
Could you imagine if Samuel L. Jackson was still Jamal's father he probably would have called him all kinda MFers LOL...and in the second story, Lt. McQuaid was in arson, why is he always there solving cases?
At first I didn't think much of it, but maybe Ghostwriter is Frank. There have been stories of people going back in time to help their past selves in order to change the future, and Harry Potter 3 is the best example of that. I bet if they continued the series instead of dropping it, the Who is Ghostwriter? mystery would be solved....
How did he get in the book where Jamal found him first? Also, there's a slight possibility of discontinuity with Frank's death being in 1992. It'd be close, but I'm not sure it's continuous.
You can find more information in the comments for the Just in Time episode. I'm just posting what I already read. Maybe they came up with the answers! To me, Ghostwriter is a ghost who helps the kids solve mysteries. I never thought about anything beyond that!
In the first eposide Ghostwriter fell out of a book on the shelf in the basement, therefore he wasn't in the diary in the brick wall. But what was that book Ghostwriter was in?
I could've sworn that the character in the books was described as having blue eyes in part one, but then when the author read it she said brown eyes. Am I wrong??
on the part one(2of3)of this episode when wise rita reading the book and she talks about sophie she says she has bright blue eyes but this lady says she has dark brown eyes... im just checking to make sure if anyone else caught that because i never catch things like that
i LOVE ghostwriter! thanks so much for posting all of these! i never saw this one and i found myself actually wanting to find out what happens next, lol. great childhood memories. thanks!
There's a theory going around, that Ghostwriter was a slave back when he was alive. Because when a slave escapes, the owners usually have dogs hunt them down. That could explain Ghostwriter's fear of the dogs. Also, that slave could be Jamal's ancestor or something. All pure speculation...but dunno about his ability to read and write. Maybe he was secretly taught, or he taught himself....
If you saw that Just In Time episode where Ghostwriter had to help that boy named Frank there is possibly another theory. Ghostwriter could have been Frank's ghost because in Jamal and Lenni's time, Frank was dead. And Ghostwriter was the only one who knew that helping Frank would save the team and Jamal's father.
Whoa, I remember that episode! Never thought of that at all, but that's so possible too. It's weird if that's the case...imagine, communicating with your own ghost. O_O
That's been my theory too! :) Because Jamal released Ghostwriter out of a book in his basement that Frank stayed in. I believe that the book was possibly Frank's diary, and that ghostwriter stayed in there until Jamal released him.
Ahh nevermind about the diary..took a closer look at that book GW came out of, it looks like an actual book and not a diary. But still looks really old like it could've belonged to Frank, or GW back in time.
@Atsukochan you're actually right on the money!!! check out wikipedia....i agree with the slabve theory, people who think hhe's Frank obviously aren't paying attention to the show
Back when the series first aired, my dad had a theory that Ghostwriter was Jamal's great-grandfather, Ezra. Jamal's dad mentioned him in the pilot. The trunk Danitra was taking to college belonged to him and the book Ghostwriter came out of was on top of the trunk.
Alex is soo tall compared to the rest of them lol!
