Then & Now
John: Assuming the show was set in contemporary times, the house being 150 years old would suggest it was built in the early 1800s. Does that match up with our upcoming flashbacks, or the as-yet unseen old house versus the new house?
This is the first time a ghost whisperer (Roger) isn't making a joking reference...
We are to believe that Burke and Elizabeth are in the drawing room, when those of us in-the-know realize they both had the day off today. As a result, we get a lot of lingering outside those closed doors today.
Christine: No, the timeline doesn't match up, though it seems many of the series' historical details changed after Vicki was transported to 1795–perhaps because of her interference.
Her hair may still be blonde, but this episode feels like the debut of the Maggie we've all come to know and love.
Shadows on the Wall
John: Based on the Sam Evans paintings we've seen, it's a bit of a stretch for Maggie to suggest he's better than Michelangelo.
Christine: From what we've seen so far, perhaps. Fortunately, for Sam's reputation, his Angelique and Phoenix period lay ahead. Incidentally, I think I may have discovered another Sam Evans painting–a rocky ocean scene–propped behind the easel beneath the windows that I had not previously catalogued.
The striped throw blanket on the Evanses' couch caught my eye. Now I'm wondering how long it remains before
Maggie's afghan first appears, and whether this blanket eventually finds its way into other households and timelines. Perhaps it's one we should keep an eye on.
What caught your eye in this episode–something you had never noticed before or something that stood out in a new way?
