If so inclined, respond and I'll be glad to offer my "high marks" recommendation of the series. The last half far exceeded the first half. Agreed! The last two episodes were especially good.

I like the show. My only complaint is that it keeps skirting the paranormal abilities of Delaney. He sees the dead and he's sought out the dead, but he doesn't seem to be communicating with them. It's more like he uses the glimpses of the past to gain knowledge. Like when he went to the river to try to find out why his mother tried to drown him.
Who do you think killed Winter? Just someone trying to frame him? Why didn't they just kill him while he was passed out?
I'm anxiously waiting to see if he'll go to Nootka Island.

As for Winter (the following will be a spoiler if you have not watched all episodes)......................., they identified the East India Company as hiring someone to kill her and to try and frame James Delaney (Hardy). They are trying to avoid having him killed at which point the contract for Nootka get passed on to family. It does make you wonder how many gut stabs one person can take without dying? To Weasel Pie's comment I agree....the last "four episodes" far outweighed the first 4 or 5. I suppose next season they will ultimately reach Nootka, but the question in my mind is who will not survive, considering the shoot out at the docks before they sat sail (the alchemist and his step mother, Lorna Bow).

I am an episode or two behind...do they explain why Delaney wanted his sister while she rejected him, but once she came around, killed her husband, and then admitted her longing for her brother, he didn't want her anymore!

If they did explain I missed it. They also finally allude to the notion that the young boy is his son, although that don't tie in the fact that his mother could have been Delaney's sister. They also touch briefly on Delaney's mother and the fact that she tried drowning him at an early age.
