#ghostsau — Public Fediverse posts

#TodayILearned something I wouldn't have if I watched shows with closed captioning off. In the final episode of the the first season of #GhostsAU, Kate, the woman who can see ghosts, has pre-European ancestry.

Her boyfriend, Sean, has been dithering about proposing since Kate found the ring he'd hidden.¹ So Kate tells the ghosts “Well, just so you know, I'm going to propose.”

The ghosts don't want her to do that, so, babbling, they say “You can't do that! Yeah, you can't because of the patriarchy…”

To which Kate replies, “Well, I'm Blak and we're a matriarchy, so who's coming?”

Some research shows that #Blak is an accepted spelling for the original inhabitants of Australia. #TIL #Ghosts

[1] Actually, Sean did propose when Kate found the ring, but it was rushed and unromantic, so she told him to do it again, but to “make it super soppy, super cringe” and it's the do-over proposal that's been taking time. Sean had arranged a whole song and dance with the ghosts, which Kate proposing would make impossible.

One problem in watching shows from #torrents instead of on #television is that I never see commercials. That means weeks can go by before I find out a series has started its latest season.

I wouldn't have known #GhostsUS had started unless I'd seen a random #YouTube video saying that #GhostsAU had begun airing and so thought to check on the US version.

Now I'm downloading three episodes of #GhostsCBS and one of #GhostsAus, and I'll watch the first of each version of #GhostsTV tonight.
