The Thomas Thorne Affair

[beansontoastttt]

I was bored 😈😈

[masterofiodine]

watching it again i really love the way we learned about thomas's death

yeah, it's the classic "i was there and this is not what happened", nothing original, but this kind of storytelling just really suits thomas's character and wouldn't work for any other of the ghosts. with every version of his death story, we're getting closer to the truth and tho there are multiple funny parts (the robin bit etc.) you can still feel it getting sadder and more tragical throughout the whole episode. despite alison kinda derogating the whole thing (which is asolutely understandable for her character) and the absolute ending its still really emotional and itdoesn't take the tragedy off of thomas's story

i just think this episode is not appreciated enough

Once again, the pairs have been done by a random picker wheel… it’s a tough round but may the best episode win!! :)

this was the best episode of ghosts so far in my binge. not my personal favourite (that’d be moonah ston or the grey lady) but objectively the best in terms of slick, cohesive, multi-layered tv writing

twists upon twists all clicking into place almost in the style of inside no 9, the rashomon-ing opening up wider and wider vistas of individual perspectives (and how they never match up), little white lies that spiral into irreversible tragedy. a theme of hidden half-truths running through every side of the story: thomas’ and the other ghosts’ retellings of the events preceding his death, the captain’s military fantasising that sticks out like a sore thumb, the matter-of-fact casual revelation of the existence of another ghost (annie). henry’s seemingly never-relevant comic relief presence being pivotal to solving the central mystery. julian’s lecture on the art of spin. and, of course, alison and kevin

“and besides, you have nothing to worry about, you’ve got a black belt in taekwondo”

“i did say that, yeah”

Thomas Thorne Sketches 😈

Made these in school :3

[sinister-things]

The benefits of my dad being a former Lieutenant is that:

1. I know the majority of the military lingo the Captain uses

2. I know what type of guns were used in the Thomas Thorne Affair

3. The inaccuracy of the guns usage now PISSES ME OFF FOR NO REASON

4. I know how to OPERATE the aforementioned gun
