For those interested in a preview of the next round of GHA, you can find a video link here.  Looks like Daniel is still having a bit of trouble in this episode as well.  Given the major mistake they highlight in this sneak peak, I had to read his brief bio which is somewhat ironic.  Guess he isn't a wiz at the on/off switch on voice recorders. Poor guy, I don't think he'll last much longer.

"As a graphic designer, Daniel is a wiz with computers and cameras. As a bartender, he's learned how to read people. Having recently accompanied a paranormal team on an investigation of Fort Adams, he's anxious to bring his technical knowledge to the field."

So, does the sneak peek give us a clue as to the next to be kicked off?  Probably not.  I guess we'll just have to stay tuned to yet another crazy titled episode.

Agree, just where were the "5 TAPS qualities" during the 6 years of the show ?

Honesty – Like with the doctored Manson FLIR ?

Composure – Like when Jason hears a sound and immediately suspects that some TAPS member on another team screamed ?

Technical Knowledge – There is hardly a piece of equipment that they have NOT misused. Stationary cameras have fallen over and been left unnoticed for an hour until a crew member puts it back up.

Skepticism – The TAPS SOP appears to be " If we can't figure out a specific cause for an event, it defaults to being paranormal "

Patience – " If you don't say something, we're gonna leave "

In the early years they would have tossed a single sylable hardly understandable "yes" – now it's a big deal

All I'm saying is that I can't spit 20 feet and no one that I've asked can do it either.  Not saying that it can't be done…just saying that spitting 20 feet seems to be quite a distance…

There was a mythbusters episode on this, not a spit as such but a sneeze. Adam managed to fire a sneeze some 17 feet. Not 20, but not too far off. 20 feet might be plausible I reckon.

I was disappointed to hear, during the Steve-Tango-Jason confab, when Steve(?) said of Rosalyn regarding skepticism that she might have _too much_ skepticisim. 

This brought me to pondering just how TAPS has decided that "orbs" are not indicators of paranormal activity.  It appears that their opinion was brought about by the evidence that "orbs" can be created quite easily by natural means, evidence so powerfull that their skeptism turned to doubt.

In the case of smells, TAPS has found natural reasons a few times ( tobacco smoke in wood, chemical cleaners mistaken for flowers or perfume ), and no one has yet concocted a theory how ( or why ) a spirit would gather and concentrate the correct particles needed to create a smell. 

Rosalyn dismissed it offhand and was chastised – Curious since at best it would have simply been a personal experience, not any kind of evidence.

Did he expect her to run downstairs and interrogate all the production people to see if anyone had taken a smoke break in the area ? Do we know if any of the cast are smokers ?

Perhaps they were upset since this would this have come under the TAPS SOP that anything not specifically explained defaults to being paranormal.
