The last episodes of this second half of the first season of FOF have a water theme. Our intrepid crew goes in search of some CCR in the first of these and, in the second, I'm sure Bill will turn it into a ghost hunt and hold some sort of EVP session.

Note: In this case, CCR is Credence Clearwater Revival, not Condition Code Register…giving the former as an answer on a test during my early programming days rather than the latter cost me a few points, but that's another story.

Okay, so if they aren't going after the band, what are we left with? Well, either it's the IFL team or another Sasquatch and, unfortunately, it will probably be the latter. Unless, of course, the Louisiana team moonlights at night in the swamp wearing costumes.

Watch as the gang realizes that reptiles are cold-blooded and wonder why they didn't see any hotspots on the FLIR moments before Ben gets his ankle eaten.

Watch as Jael learns how hard it is to cough underwater during an EVP session.

Watch as Bill learns that maniac and repeated rowing during a ghost hunt will get you miles upstream and out of range of the camera. What was that about small miracles?

Even though we have a water theme going for this season finale, my glass will be filled with something a little stronger.

Drinking Game Words: Prepositions and Definite Articles…that should get you through the hour without too much pain.

One question that I have with the "river ghost" case is about the camera. Jael says that she is shooting all of this on the point and click camera yet at the end when they compare the 2 videos, there is no comparison. The original is all grainy and has the typical look of a video made by a point and click. Jael's on the other hand is very sharp and crisp. I am no expert on cameras by any means I am just curious as to why the big difference in the resolution. Was it touched up afterwards?

I'm not sure which camera they were using so I don't know about it's particular features.  I have three point and shoots, two bridges, and one DSLR and each, of course, has more or less sophistication than the other.  The point and shoots are all older by a few years but with one you were limited to shooting different "scenes" with them. Landscape, People, Fireworks, Nighttime, etc.

In each of those settings, the camera would pick auto settings for shutter, aperture, ISO, and so forth based upon what scene you chose.

It is possible that, in the original, a scene was used that boosted the ISO to shoot at night easier, though possibly boosted unnecessarily high, and introduced the noise that is typical with small sensor cameras.  Jael may have been shooting using a different scene which kept the ISO down.  Or, if the point and shoot was like one other of my P&S, it could have more manual control over settings which would carry over into the movie option of it like is possible on my bridges and especially the DSLR.  In that case, Jael may have had some lessons from the photography expert ahead of time and adjusted the settings for a cleaner night shot.

Duncan's girlfriend is way too hot for him.

Bizarre.
