However those Gun wielding elves forcing her to write down that she liked hanging out with the two of them.
Bad gun wielding elves shame on you.
So She has seen the darkness inside Matt he clearly isn't Annie wanting revenge only on the killer no he wants to revenge himself on the whole school. That would be a problem for her, One thing to note that in her personal diary or thoughts she can admit what she is.
"Draining the killer of blood or ripping them to pieces" the first comment is clearly about Adam but the ripping to pieces, it's clear she knows.
It is also very clear that the only reasons she's helping Matt in her mind is - It's the right thing to do and to be rid of him. but whether this changes we will have to wait and see.

It's a fascinating story. I like the way the humour of the parent series is retained but given its own unique spin by the nature of these particular characters. I'll be following the rest of it with great interest.

If he'd died accidentally there'd be a body that someone would've discovered eventually. The fact there's isn't confirms the murder theory- someone must have hidden it.

Another point, not only did they immediately assume he was murdered, but that he died in the toilets. Not necessarily. I think Matt DOES know how he died but for now is just playing along with Adam and Christa's ideas. Not once has he thanked them for helping; he just seems more concerned with getting revenge. Though I guess this is the first time he's ever had power over anyone. *shrugs* It will all be revealed in due course...
"...disappears in a puff of logic..." - Yet another geeky sci-fi reference! My inner fangirl is very happy! ;)

Regarding the anger he has his own 'profile' demonstrates his need for revenge. Would he take a life as a ghost? Well, that's going to be an interesting moral journey we might get to see.

Christalist - really? Christa list
but though people have mentioned the Douglas Adams reference
There is a reference that makes me think of Bedazzled - The original with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore not the remake.
Help this poor lost soul find the trampoline of light
It's when the Devil makes him a Nun in the order of leaping Nuns and they spend their time on trampolines
A reference to Adams intro in episode one
Say we just shrug and give up the investigation get on with double maths
Oh here's a thought will we get not a list from Adam I don't think he's the list type but a debate on whether to help or not from him - and if we do will the hand writing be different?

I must say i agree as i am suspitious of matt myself
He has way to much control over his powers for a new ghost
Who may i add (apparently)has had no help in understanding and learning about his abbilities
The part about matt not remebering his death may not seem out of the ordinary as the character Annie from (Being Human) did not clearly remember the details of her death also
But this may not be the same case as the idea that matt only wants revenge on the students of the school is a very good theory
Think about it your sad your angry and now well your dead
A vampire and a werewolf show up who are the only ones who can see you
It would not be that hard to come up with a chilling story of how one of the many school bullies cruelly murdered you
Thus leading to a vicious hunt for the so called murderer creating the perfect opportunity to terrify and get revenge on every student that ever came across you
well thats just one of my many thoughts on this hmmm who knows
anyway i cannot wait for next weeks Becoming Human/Being Human

I do think he wants revenge though, well it's only natural, victims of severe bullying either become, ill, evil, dead or creative geniuses, a rare few get over it. Maybe he didn't really die but is in fact just invisible? Or he's a werewolf and changed for the first time in the toilets and was killed after infecting Christa. That would explain how his body was moved and the difficulties with his memory. Maybe he tried to blow himself and the school up but but something went wrong?

or maybe matt just killed himself, and his unfinished buissness is that he diddnt watch the rest of lost, maybe adam and crista should just buyhim the box set

At 10th Feb 2011, ewan wrote:The pros & cons of Helping the dead
by Christa
That whole business with Danny Curtis is making me wonder if we're making a big mistake helping Matt. I mean I know he looks like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth, admittedly because it wouldn't have time, but I can't shake the feeling there's a lot he's not telling us. There's just something behind the eyes when he looks at me. It's like someone's handed him a loaded gun and he's just wishing he had more bullets.
I think it's time to make a 'Christalist.' It sounds like 'chrysalis', and in much the same way, I hope that something beautiful will emerge in the end....
So, helping Matt, the Pros;
1.It's the right thing to do. Cheesy I know, but somebody murdered a schoolboy in a toilet and no-one knows but us. Catching the killer is morally the right thing to do. Obviously then draining the killer of blood or ripping them to pieces would lose a lot of the moral high ground. So we shouldn't do that.
2.Our crappy little gang is Kind of fun, although I would never admit it to either of them and if they ever somehow got to read this I would claim it was forged. By elves. At gunpoint.
3.We solve Matt's unfinished business, presumably he disappears in a puff of logic, or slides down the holy water chute towards the light or whatever crap Adam is peddling on that particular day. (I still think he's making that 'deaths door' thing up)
4.Matt cooks a mean scrambled egg. All in the melting butter, apparently.
And now, the Cons;
1.I don't trust Matt. And that's a biggie. It would help if he wasn't so vague about his death. It's like he's embarrassed to talk about it. And okay, dying in toilet isn't the most glamorous way to go, but if I hear him say 'Oh it's all a bit hazy,' one more time, I'll smack him. With a toilet seat. Just to try and jog his memory.
2.I worry that he's using us for revenge. I mean say it turns out he just slipped, fell and broke his neck on the U-bend. No-one to blame, except maybe the caretaker who didn't mop the toilet floor properly. And his unfinished business is actually to ring one of those ambulance chasing insurance firms. Say that was actually how he died. Would he then just let the bulling go? You know, I don't think he would.
3.If we don't help him, he can't leave. Say we just shrug and give up the investigation get on with double maths, what happens to him then? Does he just stick around? I think that's going to be a yes. And being as we're the only ones who can see him, he's going to stick around with us, isn't he? Following us around. Forever.
Yeah. The last one is the clincher. The Christalist has worked it's magic. We should do the right thing. Help this poor lost soul find the trampoline of light, pass through the receiving door of fate. For only through helping Matt's spirit to rest, do we ourselves get some piece and quiet.
It's what he would have wanted, after all.

That is rather imaginative, however unfortunately the water level would be too low, especially when being flushed, as at that time the water level decreases. Go check it out. No offence intended, and I don't mean this in a bad way. But it was a nice idea, I just hope, for realism's sake, this isn't how he actually died.
