Second to Last

Still trying to make eye catching titles! I really want to get better at interesting titles, and I hope this one lands well! This isn’t a self deprecating post… I’m talking about the second to last season of Ghosts! I’ll ask this question early on just in case y’all don’t get through it; if you were to be a ghost and could interact with the living in some way, what would be your ghost power?

Season Four Episode Two, “Speak as ye Choose” Pictured: The Captain (Ben Willbond) and Kitty (Lolly Adefope)

Season four follows Mike and Allison’s endeavors as they open the gate house to the public as a BnB. The ghosts adapt fairly easily, this time it’s Mike and Allison struggling like crazy. The antics in this season are extra silly, but it evens out pretty well.

I can’t talk about my favorite episode. It’ll spoil a huge plot point, so I’ll talk about my second favorite. “Speak as ye Choose!” It’s a fantastic episode. This season we get to learn more about Mary, especially this episode. She’s actually gotten so far, that the beginning of the episode is all of the ghosts horrified by hearing about her death! The witch trialll yess!!! The whole A plot of the episode is Mary telling Julian how she as a past repressed woman gained her voice. The B plot follows the Captain trying to figure out life without a schedule, and he learns about just getting side-tracked with Kitty. He finds a bit of himself while Mary talks about how she found herself. Genuinely a beautiful episode!

This is another season where I don’t really have a least favorite, but if I had to pick it would be “Poached Guests.” There’s a new ghost that died just outside of the property, so their plot is just them bothering some poor dude. He fakes moving on so they’ll leave him alone. Then Allison and Mike’s neighbor, Barclay Beg-Chetwynde, tries to steal their BnB ghosts. This starts a whole fight between them that ends with Barclay getting reported for planting asbestos in Button House. It’s all a pretty alright episode. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it.

I think I’ll be able to get through this planned series of posts by the end of this year which makes me super happy. You know what else makes me super happy? A GHOSTS MOVIE WAS ANNOUNCED!!! THEY STARTED FILMING ON THE SECOND!!!!! I keep seeing behind the scenes pictures and it makes me so happy. I like to think that I manifested the movie by not shutting up about ghosts to y’all.

My heart is just so so happy y’all. I know that during our senior year I’ll be able to post about alllll the ghosts. If I’m not mistaken I think all of the original actors have been confirmed to be returning. Very exciting! Okay, that’s it for me, season four, and the movie announcement. ByeBye!

I believe that writing is what is keeping me whole. I'll stay loud and proud for my beliefs, and I'll stay who I am for my art. Without being able to write freely I don't know who I'd be, but now I have a chance to figure that out. Watch as I paint the world in my eyes, so it could maybe give colors to yours. Freedom is hard to come by in this age. It's difficult to just go out and speak in the streets your freedom because the world limits us. This blog is my form of a town square. Please find comfort in the town crier telling of dangers, or the court jester trying to give you a laugh. They had their purposes, and now I have mine.

    1. We move to the American version, then the French version, then the German version, then the Australian version, and finally the Greek version. Then……. then we gotta find a way to make even more ghosts………….

  1. I’m actually super excited for the ghosts movie. Guys as the og to fall for the clickbait (sat on the couch once ever) and has seen the entire series, PLEASE go watch it its so worth it.

  2. To answer your question in the beginning (which I’m guessing is creative, I’m not too sure if there’s rules :/) But I’d like to pretty much haunt someone that holds maybe a possession of mine if they need me. So, they like hold that or carry that object on their person and I’ll technically be with them and could haunt or possess their body or others around them (Consensually of course. and kind of like how, I think his name is Pete, can travel so far and will fade if he doesn’t return, kind of like that but I can only be so far away from that object.)
