Bonkers about Ghosts atm

He/him BBC Ghosts, Poldark, AWAE, BTTF musical, Doctor Who

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but at the end of The Thomas Thorne Affair, once the retelling of Thomas's death - or the spectacle as I like to call it - is over, all the ghosts leave for Julian’s talk (even Humphrey gets remembered) and Alison leaves for her reunion - just like everyone at Higham House left to go back inside once the duel had concluded.

It's a painful parallel I never really noticed before. No one was with Thomas when he died and no one stayed with him or even asked him if he was okay when he relived his death again. They just leave.

And say what you want about Thomas, but he deserves better than that.

Theory:

Julian sleeping in this instance is probably just him being bored or unwilling to pay attention to Mary’s story but, like, him just zonking out canonically happened a lot even in times of importance (in the commons) - so much so that MP’s must’ve questioned it (hence his need to fabricate an excuse - ‘listening better with his eyes closed’)

And then there’s this:

Like, this guy naps a lot - and it’s purposely shown on camera (albeit subtly). None of the other ghosts really do this. The only non- night sleeping (i.e standard sleep everyone needs) I can think of is Cap in the xmas special, but that fits the ‘old man asleep in chair at Christmas’ sort of vibe and Pat guarding Thomas’ door (but he’s canonically bored and been there a while). Point being, Julian and sleeping seems to be drawn significantly more attention to than the other ghosts.

And then there’s this:

I don’t know, but a heart attack at 42 seems pretty unlikely unless he had a pre-existing condition. Perhaps I’m reading too much into it, but just thought this was interesting :)

its always "what are your plans for the future, you should really be planning for the future" and never "wow that character you're obsessed with sounds so cool can you explain them to me. im sure you get them more than anyone else"

"This is getting ridiculous now. Where did you find this contraption? How did you build it? You're not really rolling them straight :/ I'm not sure I like this at all, I don't like the noise. See what's the point! That didn't break with the contraption, so it doesn't coun- I liked that one. That one was neat and clean. It was a clean break. Don't like the noise - she was with chil- you're BEATING the child! It's just sick. It's twisted - HE was with child. Okay. Something about this is... where are these children coming from? Seems unnecessary that they're all pregnant. Just straight beating that Pepsi and their plastic. I don't like this - it's SADISTIC. This is sadistic. I don't - they're SPRITZING me!" *from other video, a man's voice, vaguely sounding like a moan: oooooooooh. oohhhh* lady: "I'm sorry. What was that?" *last bottle falls* (with disappointment) "No."

okay i was thinking and you know how you pick up phrases from your friends? i bet the ghosts do that, but it gets super mixed up because the caveman is using a phrase he heard from the georgian noblewoman which is a misinterpretation of the army captain's slang, which eventually becomes its own phrase with an entirely new meaning. sometimes alison hears them pull out these phrases and it takes her forever to figure out what they mean. When she finally does figure it out they become part of her vocabulary, which in turn confuses mike.
