#i do appreciate the longevity of alison and mike's holiday tradition being confirmed

I think what might have been better (for me) would be if they hadn't skipped ahead quite so far in the last scene and instead Alison and Mike were returning only a few years later with Mia. Still the "usual room" and still all the old decor kept around the building, but Alison walks into the room holding Mia's hand and "introduces" her to the ghosts, the idea being that she's old enough now even if she can't see them to know they're there, to know that Alison not only gives the ghosts that allowance in her life on her own terms but also perhaps that she can tell Mia stories about the funny dead people who became her family

#bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts spoilers #nothing is so important to me right now as knowing that Mia knows about the ghosts #she should know #they're her family after all #the idea of alison telling mia stories about 'uncle julian' or 'grandma fanny' while mike rolls his eyes #mia asking mike wide-eyed if the ghosts are real and mike telling her wryly that yes they're real #mia asking if there are any ghosts around every time they walk down the street #mia passing on questions for alison to ask the ghosts about this historical event or that #or getting them to tell her the hotel gossip through her mother #and alison going 'oh robin i can't tell her that' and mia BEGGING alison to tell her what the caveman said #the ghosts gushing over mia every time they see her even though she can't hear or see them #and alison being so so proud #sigh #i do appreciate the longevity of alison and mike's holiday tradition being confirmed #even if in the moment i had reservations #only so much story you can tell in half an hour with what budget they had #oh #mia coming with alison in those later years when its harder for her to make it out #mia coming in her stead when alison is gone and having to tell the ghosts #not knowing if they're even there to hear her #oh god now i'm a different kind of sad #goddam
