Oh my god, what is your problem with me? What, I canโt even breathe now? Um, for starters, maybe because you hooked up with my best friendโs boyfriend?ย

So Iโve been watching School Spirits, not done yet, but I just finished episode 7 where we learn what happened to Dawn. And I was struck by a realization of why Dawn had her special spot in the alcove. A raised, dry place without poor electrical connections where she could be plainly seen. Even in her afterlife Dawn was keeping herself safe from what harmed her in her last moments; she wasnโt being kooky, Dawn was trying to cope with the trauma of her death. Absolutely beautiful environmental/behavioral foreshadowing, no notes.

Also on the topic of the new school spirits episode I haven't seen anyone mention this but can we talk about how triggering Rhondas scene with Mr Martin had to be for her?? Like idk if it was intentional or not but a male figure she trust, someone who is acting in a counceling role (I can't remember if he was a guidance councilor or just a teacher before he died) screaming at her and walking towards her intimidstingly. I hate Mr Martin and I think he was involved in maddys death but even if I didn't before I WOULD HATE HIM NOW.

I know there are a lot of theories bouncing around that Maddie is still alive and it feels very weird to say this about a character that I genuinely like, but... I hope not? I mean, don't get me wrong, I totally see where the theories are coming from & it would explain why she's so different from the other ghosts, but I also feel like it would really undermine the emotional core of the show for me.

Iโm watching School Spirits and honestly I love this show so much I need more!!
The scene where Emilio is reading Charleyโs letter is so sad but Iโm glad both of them were able to get that closure so that Emilio could move on because he definitely has been holding that in even if heโd moved on and found love again and Charley is able forgive himself now and live his death.
I love Wally and Maddie I think that Maddie will open up a lot more eventually and she does tend to smile more when heโs around. I really do ship them and I want them to be a couple. This is actually a ship that could work because unlike other shows Iโve watched both of them are ghosts so thatโs easier.
This might be mean but I found it so funny that Xavier thought he was going to die almost all the episode poor kid was sweating thinking he was going to get murdered by Claire lmao
What is Nicole doing I want to know I swear every time I think I know who mightโve killed Maddie Iโm immediately shown another suspect. Sheโs so suspicious one scene and then normal the next Iโm so confused!
Charley and Maddieโs friendship is probably one of my favourite things like I love Simon and Maddie but Charley and Maddie are just so sweet and I love when they have scenes together. I just get so obsessed with the platonic relationships in media sometimes because even though I love romance I love seeing family and friendship relationships too.

The current theor(ies) rolling around the most in my head is for School Spirts
In the last episode we learn that Mr. Martian was aware that Janet took over Maddieโs body
We also learn that they both died in a fire that may have been started by a student or may have been started by Mr. Martian
So the show is, and has been for a while, (I knew he knew more than he let on like episode two or three when he said something super suspicious) leading us to believe that Mr. Martian is the, or at least, a bad guy
And while Iโm not clamoring to claim his innocence, I do think itโs interesting that he told Janet not to move when she jumped into Maddieโs body
Itโs entirely possible that Mr. Martian is the ultimate villain and Janet did what she did because sheโs trying to escape him or because she feels cheated being stuck in limbo with her (maybe) murderer (Not fair to Maddie in any way but more sympathetic than my next thought)
It is also possible that the show is leading us to the conclusion that Janet started the fire, woke up angry in the afterlife that she got caught up in her own craziness, and has been trying to find a way out ever since, (maybe even causing some of the otherโs deaths in her attempts?)
This would make her the big bad of the show, and Mr. Martian (while not completely innocent) a misguided man trying to prevent her (and unfortunately for Maddie, failing) from succeeding her goal to possess someone else and escape
What do yโall think? Am I overthinking or on to something? Do you think Janet is an opportunist, a runaway victim, or a killer Queen? ๐ค

Current theories for who killed Maddie in School Spirits.
1. Xander - We never really investigated him, the teacher became suspect 1 because he was creepy and had a bunch of money he shouldn't have. So looping back to him still feels fair.
2. One of the non-Claire cheerleaders - Claire is too early to be the one who did it, BUT, if we show more of her idiot friends being not an idiot maybe they did it for or to Claire.
3. Mr. Martin - No human murderer explains why Maddie isn't a normal ghost. Why her memory is missing, or why Simon can see her. But if a ghost did it, well, that means the rules change.
Add to that his rules don't really seem to matter, and how the antilife society seems to be wrong about the other ghosts, he's a good suspect.
(Wrong in that the Theater Ghost is aware of her afterlife, she's just dedicated to her own death in an unhealthy way. And Dawn isn't trapped in 1972, she's fully embraced 2023. To such degree it weirds out the ghost clique.)
(...Band Ghosts are still weird though, no getting around that.)

School Spirits 1x05
Mr. Martin doesn't know what micro-aggressions are. That sort of gives a cultural time frame to him.
That kid had a lunch of tater tots. My hero.
Still not here for this "redemption" of Xavier.
Pussy-toes?
Was thinking that it was a little self-centered of Wally to do this, but then he put in how he's showing up for his family. I can respect that.
Claire, you're acting like you want to get caught. Texting him over and over. Visiting his house. Why not just light a signal fire in front of the police station?
Wally gave Charley a kiss. Glad that they didn't go with the typical alpha male homophobic jock from the 80's stereotype with him.
Wally's mom is here. Hope this doesn't go bad for him.
Claire did something. Something serious. She's not paranoid like that because of buying grades.
It was the other teacher. She's the one that recorded it and sent it to the three.
Maddie is simply saying what Mr. Martin's been saying. The ghosts need to move on from what is holding them trapped to the world.
Before people start going all conspiracy theory, Maddie's body is NOT in the trunk of Nicole's car. Those boxes wouldn't fit in that small trunk with her body, and her body would be seriously rank after a week. People would smell it from a distance in that car.
Guessing that Mr. Martin died in that room.

The scene where Maddie is talking to Wally about "how would you feel if the person who was supposed to protect you didn't" makes no sense to me. Wally went through exactly that. His mom forced him to play football and wouldn't let him rest for the rest of the game causing him to die. He can 100% relate to how Maddie's feeling.

What if the ghost possessing Maddie's body stuck around so long because she had to stay close to Maddie's spirit due to her not actually being dead, but the second that Maddie accepted her death and wrote her obituary is when she skipped town

What if Maddie helps the ghost squad with all of their unfinished business but they hesitate to move on because they donโt want to leave her, what then

Being able to move the box despite the fact that ghosts canโt touch or do anything that affects the living world?? How Maddie could see Mr. Martin but not Janet when she was alive?? GIRL WHAT ARE YOU???
