#esp when pitted against vlad's fanon fire core

[vladdyissues]

When I first started watching Danny Phantom, I thought Danny's "ghost sense" came from the fact that many accounts of spirits and other paranormal phenomena report an extreme drop in temperature when such entities are present. So I was like, yeah, that makes sense. Danny's "feeling" ghosts. I thought he was just extra sensitive now, that he was noticing the cold before anyone else, or that the cold ghost energy was condensing around him.

The idea that the coldness was coming from within Danny, and that it was a side effect of his freeze abilities, perplexed me when it came up in Season 3.

Frostbite: Now, then. Lesson one: stop shivering.

Danny: I-I-I c-c-can't.

F: This is because the cold is contained within you, and ever since you acquired your ghost abilities, you have only been letting it out in small amounts.

D: Like when?

F: Every time you sense a ghost is nearby.

D: My ghost sense? That's been a part of this freeze power all along?

It makes me wonder if Danny's ghost sense originally started out like I suspected, then the writers decided to change things 6 episodes from the end of the show and give him ice powers for the express purpose of defeating Undergrowth in this episode.
