HOLY SHIT SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT-

not thomas literally being put in horny jail

Poor Havers.

Obviously poor Cap as well because he died

But fml poor Havers.

Being wounded after the war, having seen the horrors of the front line, then seeing Cap again realising that he isn't supposed to be there and that he smuggled himself in, Havers probably panicking because they are surrounded and every sign of affection is a high risk. And then someone confronts the man who is clearly trying to get to him and Cap collapses and basically tries to confess his love and Havers has to keep him from putting them both in danger but wants him to know that He reciprocates so he says he knows and stops him from touching his face but guides him to grab the swaggerstick so he can grab his hands. which is such a smart idea because of course a dying and scared man grabs at something and of course one has to provide comfort to loosen the grip. And then they say each others first named and the second Cap is dead he has to release his hand or else it would be suspicious. And he has to do this with a straight face.

I wonder when he finally was allowed to shed a tear, to mourn, to fall apart

I'm by now completely convinced that he went to the front to protect them both because Cap really wasn't that subtle

And Havers looked out for both of them even in Cap's final moments

It's just so tragic. Cap lost his life but Havers lost so so much as well

I really, really want to know what happened to him afterwards.

Back to writing! Big on tenderness this time:

Just because they're closeted bumbling old buffoons in love doesn't mean one of them doesn't have the First Aid skills to save the other's life!!! BBC, I love you for creating Ghosts, but I am un-burying your gays and giving them the time to heal and talk things through (as a crew).

Never did I think a show about wacky ghosts would make me cry so much.

On bloody Christmas too.

ahhhh i'm sad about bbc ghosts! after all that last series seeming like it was working towards an ending of them all moving on, or maybe about them moving out, but then not doing any of that at the end, i really didn't expect them to move out in this episode after all.

it happened so quickly too! almost like they made it that way to make it seem lighter, but ehhh... i'm not sure if i liked that. what about the ghosts now? how do they live now? alison was so nice for them, and while they might be better friends they're still ghosts and it makes me sad that they aren't with alison and mike anymore. love that she visits them but tbh personally after the ending of the series before this ep i kind of set my mind on it ending with just it being open and them still all living together. then i could just imagine them continue to happily live there together! this - idk this was so sudden and the episode made it feel lighter than how it feels to me when i think about it

! bbc ghosts spoilers !

maybe i need to sleep with it but i am Underwhelmed. i was hoping for whelmed. personally i feel like an open ending suits the show much better. a really sad ending wouldn't have made sense for the genre and a really happy ending wouldn't have made sense for the premise. i liked when it ended as a group of people from different generations on a settee watching the weather. it was a comfy moment in time and i think that was enough.

in conclusion it could have been worse and it could have been a lot better and also it's behind you supremacy. thank you for your time and possible consideration.

i need to speak to whoever made the bbc ghosts ending

I have decided that the ending of ghosts is a sort of 'choose your own adventure' between S506 and the Christmas special and my choice will fluctuate depending on my mood

Listen I've seen some people complaining in the tags and just-

people are allowed to be disappointed by things.

If its getting you down then just block people but we're allowed to be disappointed ok?

this was literally what i think was happening, what the ghosts were gonna suggest. the suggestion to move away came so out of the blue for me, especially after how the previous episodes were wrapped up

How large that damn house is, they could have easily given half of it to the ghosts and the other half to the Coopers like be fr guys

I honestly think it would have been better if they'd been forced to move at the end of the last season for money reasons and then we'd got a whole episode about a stay at the hotel

It could have been moving out for non amatanormative reasons and a proper light hearted Christmas special but nooooo

Also it would have been set up perfectly by how worried they were about money?? Instead of it coming out of left field??

Honestly the finale did make me cry because the idea of the ghosts and Alison living separately is so sad but the way they got there just doesn’t make sense if you look at the whole show, it’s just felt weirdly rushed and out of place as an episode, like it wasn’t even an episode of Ghosts

You know what I could have done with?

A shot of Alison laying in her Hotel bed with all the ghosts laying around her, a callback to the Woodworm Men. One of my biggest issues with the flash forward is we didn't see the ghosts or Alison's face, which just made it feel a bit empty.

Fanartists? Please? 🥺

honestly the ending and the final season of ghosts are so weird to me because with mary being svcked off in the previous series, i fully went in expecting all of them to move on in this final series. so i emotionally prepared for that.

but then that didn't happen, not even one or two ghosts moved on, they didn't even move away!

so it just felt like it was gonna end with an open ending - which was weird to me but! eventually that felt kinda cool, like you could just imagine them living their lives and deaths there.

BUT THEN the finale suddenly turned that on its head, and to me - because i didn't see it coming at all - that only happened in the final minutes. and idk, it just ended up feeling weird and slightly flat and sad to me

to me, when the ghosts told alison she and mike could leave, alison laughed in their faces and told them they were stupid.

okay its not even that i dislike the idea of alison moving out but having a whole episode dedicated to the question of should they sell the house ending with yes the ghosts are awful but what are you gonna do? its family. and then in the next episode, only twenty nine minutes later, its 'we're family, we can be a pain. and you need to be your own family now. goodbye!' like what.

I think the ending of ghosts would've been easier as a viewer had it not felt like such a split second decision but. it was, was it not? I would've liked to have been prepared for it throughout the entire season, but, whether intentional or not, it was bittersweet to feel what alison must've felt. she did what was best for mia, and while I love the idea of her growing up around the ghosts, I am genuinely so proud of alison for making the hardest decision that she thought she'd already made. and I'm even prouder of my silly little fictional ghosts for letting her go, for allowing her and her family to grow and change. that was the most selfless decision and it really shows how much they've changed and grown, season one ghosts would never have done something so hard. letting go is bittersweet and it hurts, but it doesn't mean the end

So what was the point of Last Resort?

Yeah, no, okay as far as I’m concerned 5x06 is the ending, sorry

I think the Ghosts ending can be summed up as: great & healthy for Mike & Alison & their family but just shit and tragic for the Ghosts. (spoilers under cut)

I’d honestly rather they’d all moved on than whatever the fuck that was.

They’re just back at square one- most of their development since s1 has been undone for some reason? They all resented the idea of the house being used in that way. Sure, they see Alison every so often, but they have to watch her age and one day she’ll just stop coming…

I don’t really know how another ending could’ve been approached, but I think this might’ve been better if there had been a gradual build up to it. There definitely must’ve been other routes to a very Final ending

I’m just disappointed to be honest
