I really don't have much to say about this episode except this…

Dustin, Britt…drop the "We're the new Stango and need to do crazy dares and play jokes on each other" business. You're there to investigate. Investigate!

I did think (briefly) the shadow they caught on video was "interesting" but probably explainable.

Agreed!  Maybe they should join the cadets on GHA?  Dustin might not win and get back on GHI and Britt might be able to learn something since he teaches at all these boot camps.  I have to wonder exactly what  he actually does treach for all that money?  He's definitely not an example to follow.  Well, he's an example but not exactly a good one.

I thought it rather interesting myself but was dismayed (but not surprised) at the utter lack of any attempt to figure it out.

Yes, the Dustin and Britt daring scene was not needed…and in a two-parter, too…sheesh, these investigations are getting to be about 3 minutes of actual investigating.

Anyone find the camera angle extremely odd…the angle where they captured the light coming on "by itself" Why so high an angle…perhaps so we couldn't see what Amy was doing?

So there must have been two cameramen with Amy and Kris when they split up…both shots were handheld, not static from a camera set on the floor.

Notice Jason make mention at least twice now, acknowledging the existence of cameramen…has he been reading SV?

"Come on, let's get out of here…" Does he really expect us to believe that they are departing…when they leave all their gear still on the table! Or is that for the grunts to come in and retrieve.

I thought the ‘dare’ scene was pretty funny.  Here Dustin drinks a shot of popcorn butter oil straight from the cap of the bottle, and then screws it back on.  I’m sure the business appreciates his sanitary conditions.

And speaking of Brit…he has to have some of the worst ink in the world.  What's with the barbed wire tat's on the forearms?  You know, sometimes…what sounds  good one drunken night doesn't really doesn't pan out, does it?

? Amy explains that she had an experience as they were setting up, then it cuts to Kris explaining what she saw in front of the window.  Don't these two talk to each other ?  Why not "Kris and I both saw …."  ?

Since Amy is not wearing the same clothes, her scene in front of the TAPS logo must have been filmed later, which leads us to believe that Jason's bit was filmed later also.

.

The monitor shows they have five cameras setup, yet Dustin only calls out three.

They are all setup and good to go before dark … yet they begin investigating at 10:07 PM ?

Why do they keep saying " I'm by myself" … does Casper not see the cameraman ?

The client claims she has trouble turning the light off ( same one that Amy says turned on ? ) -  Gee… think they might have someone in the Legion who knows how to fix a light switch ?

Beaker – I mean Dustin – explains that they have wireless at the bottom of  the stair on the second floor, which should have captured the "someone came in " sound that J&G mention … why is this audio not played during the reveal ?

@darkeyes,
After taking a full shot of butter flavored vegetable oil, I'm sure the next day that Dustin realized that he did not 'choose wisely'.

Correction  – when Kris calls in to see where everyone is, we see a shot of Beaker at the console in the van and he has EIGHT cameras on the screen – yet he has only called out three.

Did anyone else notice the number of "T & A" shots of Kris!  They weren't even trying to be subtle…just trash…way to go Kris, just helping the "field" be taken seriously!

…oh, yea…another gem…

The time when Amy was telling Jason about the shadow they saw twice and discovering that Jason also saw something in that same location.."what should I do?"  and Jason tells her to "put a camera on it"….REALLY….duh!    Just imagine the field day Steve would have if these two girls were cadets at his "academy"!

One has to recall the Meatloaf episode where Jason stands staring at a similar shadow with his arms folded muttering " How does that even happen?"  rather then putting a camera on it.

Man, he totally looked like Beaker!  It was that one money shot in IR that looked so muppetish!!

Urgh..if I owned that business I'd make him buy a new vat of "butter flavor" oil.  Anyone hear of germs?!

If that's the popping oil, you're looking at a temperature of about 350 degrees Fahrenheit so germs would probably be taken care of LOL

It's interesting that other than shadow play, GH or Grant seem to be behaving themselves lately. Need another controversial episode using string/fishing line, sheetie/hoody, hanger throw etc.
