I am so happy with the conclusion of BBC Ghosts.

There were so many things I loved about the final series that I can't even keep it all straight in my brain, I'll have to rewatch it all (and the Christmas special, of course! Must remember it's the not the true end yet!)

But something I can immediately say I loved was what they didn't do. See, that line in the trailer that turned out to be from episode 5 - about there being a pattern to when they move on - worried me. One of the best things about the show, to me, is how there truly is not any reason at all to why the ghosts are there, or when they go. It's something the creators have said over and over, and that the show has always backed up; we saw so many times that, unlike in most ghost media, addressing unfinished business or achieving emotional resolution changes absolutely nothing. Pat hit some sort of emotional resolution three times. And Julian realised the importance of family, and Robin saved someone’s life, and Thomas discovered the truth of his death, and so on and so on. Finding closure isn't the end, and equally, the end isn't predicated by a climatic conclusion. It just happens. And the same is true for why people become ghosts. It just happens. And you exist, and fill your days, and then you’re gone. And no one knows why.

It's kind of the most agnostic television show I've ever seen.

I love that. Every other afterlife show I've ever seen has some kind of reward and punishment system. Or at least says that there's a reason for things, some kind of higher power at play, not necessarily a god but something like it. Even the American adaptation felt the need to bring Hell into it, which is why I need to specify that I'm only talking about the British version here. And I feel like a lot of fans wanted there to be reasons too, or felt like there simply had to be, that it wasn't even a question. I get why - it's not just because it's the standard for ghost narratives. It's really uncomfortable to think about the randomness of life and death. But Mary didn't go because of anything that happened before that day, and Cap was never going to go because he came out, and one day, when they've all gone, there won't have been a reason for it.

Because the real point of BBC Ghosts is that there is no point. You’ve just got to make it through the days, surrounded by people that irritate you, trapped in a confusing world where you’re mostly powerless. And it sucks, and you're angry, and sad, and bored as hell. And you also find happiness in the mundane chaos, and you get really good at chess, and watch the ants in the garden, and write bad poetry, and read terrible romance novels, and gamble money you don't have, and go camping, and play games, and learn French, and watch reality TV, and have sex with a decapitated Tudor nobleman’s body, and dance to old music, and look at the stars, and find that you actually really love all those annoying people after all, and that’s the point.

I put a b&w filter on this screenshot of Alison trying to prank the ghosts, and now it looks like an alt rock album from the 80's lmao

I love the way that the swagger stick belonging to Havers recontextualises so many silly Captain scenes. When the Captain uses the stick as a microphone or a magic wand or anything like that, he's using the only thing he has left of the love of his life as an instrument for joy and I think that's beautiful

[sunshine-soprano]

the end of ghosts s5e5 is by far the best example of how to react when a loved one comes out to you. i will no longer be accepting any response other than a fully choreographed line dance when i come out to people.

#i keep forgetting that that was technically cap’s coming out scene #i mean the closet was 1mm thick glass but it was there #bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts spoilers #bbc ghosts series 5 #the captain #bbc ghosts the captain #six idiots #my post

[captains-swaggerstick]

The fact that even in Cap's last moments the love had to stay unspoken because they were surrounded by a hoarde of assholes.

The fact that Havers just had to trust that Captain understood that he was loved because he could not say it.

The fact that Cap just wanted to see Havers again and it cost him everything. But he was willing to go there, to see Havers.

So this is 100% them waiting to see if Robin’s statement about there being a pattern to when one of them moves on is right, isn’t it?

Here’s my prediction.

I am going to weep.
