Bbc ghosts spoilers under cut

Guys

In the intro, Robin turns on the light and then we see the captain in the mirror

Robin was the one who came up with the sucking off theory

Which prompted the captain to share his death story

Robin was literally going to be the one to ‘shed light on the subject’ from the very start

This is so clever what

Okay, so: in early drafts of Jules Verne's 1870 novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Captain Nemo is a Polish guy bent on revenge against the Russian Empire for the murder of his family in the January Uprising. Verne's editor objected on the grounds that Russia was a French ally at the time of the book's writing, and in the actual, published version of the story, Nemo's national origin and precisely which empire he's pissed off at are left unspecified.

Later, in the 1875 quasi-sequel The Mysterious Island, Nemo is retconned as an Indian noble out for revenge against the British for the murder of his family in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 – basically the same as the original plan, simply substituting a different uprising and a different empire. Verne's editor raised no objections this time around, because fuck the British, right? Though Twenty Thousand Leagues and The Mysterious Island aren't 100% compatible in their respective timelines, this version of Nemo has customarily been back-ported into adaptations of Twenty Thousand Leagues ever since.

Now here's the funny part: perhaps as a jab at his editor, Verne made a specific plot point in Twenty Thousand Leagues of Professor Aronnax repeatedly trying and failing to figure out where the fuck Nemo is from. At one point his attempt to pin down Nemo's accent is frustrated by Nemo's vast multilingualism. At another point, he tries and fails to trick Nemo by quizzing him about latitude and longitude.

(To contextualise that last bit, at the time the book was written, there was no international agreement on which line of longitude should be zero degrees, and many nations had their own prime meridians; Aronnax hoped to identify Nemo's national origin by calculating which meridian he was giving his longitudes relative to. Nemo, however, immediately spots the ploy, and announces that he'll use the Paris meridian in deference to the fact that Aronnax is a Frenchman.)

The upshot is that at no point in the course of any of this Sherlock Holmes bullshit does Aronnax ever bring up the colour of Nemo's skin as a potential clue. In light of the book's publication history, this is almost certainly simply because Verne hadn't decided that Nemo was Indian yet. However, taking into account The Mysterious Island's retcon, it retroactively makes Aronnax the least racist Frenchman ever.

Oh my god I’ve just had a 3000 IQ moment:

So in my last post, I said that Captain could have been bonked with a book, but

- We know his medals are on backwards

LIKE THE MIRROR IMAGE?!?!?

AND HE APPEARS IN THE MIRROR IN THE TITLES

I don’t know if the reverse has anything to do with his death, but I think it’s telling us that the captain is linked to the cracked mirror we see in the titles.

The mirror could have been in the library before, and it could have been the weapon? Like I know there aren’t any visible signs like there would be but if he was hit on the back of the head with the back of the frame, but it would be enough to knock him out.

Giving the murderer time to sort out an actual way to kill him: poison.

The force of hitting Cap’s head would shatter the glass, explaining why it’s broken when we see it

If this is a load of tripe please let me know but I really want to find out how he died in s4
