Something that has been driving me insane about the credits are these sections with the fish so please bear with me whilst I do a mini deep dive (hehe) into fish discourse because YO, we need to talk about these fish!
Notice how at the beginning of the credits we actually have two white fish swimming along beside one another; one with bright turquoise eyes and the other with black.
A little while later the fish begin to circle each other and a droplet falls into the water between them. As the disturbance ripples out from the center, one of the fish dives deeper into the water and changes its colour to black; symbolizing Geto's change and descent into darkness
Then we have this heartbreakingly beautiful moment with Gojo and Geto:
I cannot stop thinking about how long Gojo watches the black fish for as it swims across the screen, whereas Geto's eyes are lowered the moment the white fish appears and he closes them as it swims past.
Gojo cannot bear to tear his eyes away, whilst Geto cannot bear to look
Throughout the credits, Gojo and Geto have been making their way towards each other through the pouring rain (or mostly sitting and waiting in Geto's case). At the end, they meet each other under a bridge and as they walk away together we see the fish a final time, swimming together again in a puddle formed by the heavy rain.
Geto walks on the left in the light, as the white fish swims close to his head, almost invisible in the brightness of the light. Whilst Gojo walks on the right in the shadow with the black fish swimming further away but still close by.
The fish speed after the two men before disappearing completely under the water just before the camera pans up and we watch as Gojo pulls Geto in for a hug as they walk away, before he's playfully shoved away by Geto.
There's a lot going on the credits (+ opening) that is absolutely killing me but man, these fish?! Breathtaking.

Burrows End is SO SO good and Aabria is such a master of story telling. This season, despite being genuine DnD vs other systems Aabria has used, hasn't actually seen all that much full blown combat. Like, of course they've fought things throughout, but it's been so much more information hunting and puzzling together all the lore. But this obviously means those scenes we do have such full blown COMBAT with sets so much more important, which was obvious in the reactor....but the bear....so obviously it's been focused on in reference to Tula's reveal, or as a show of how fucked up biology wise this world they live in is and how dangerous it is in the forest.
But it's also Aabria laying such incredibly subtle groundwork. It's showing us "this is possible in this world. This happens. They can get inside of you, burrow into you, and you will be their walking warren. Parasite and host intertwined."
And then we move on...we focus on the secrets of the first stoats and learning of all these human things, and the chipmunks and bear are just fun tidbits to throwback to about how scary and fucked up things are, but no longer relevant.
Last week we heard those tapes, and I thought "that voice change there...the 'they're so sneaky'...was that a first stoat, who we only heard as squeaks, instead speaking through Dr. Wenabocker as he died?"
And I forgot about the bear too.
But the SECOND it was revealed that Wenabocker left, that his body was gone and that Phoebe left too? It all clicked.
The Bear wasn't just a fun, really cool fucked up battle set for an episode, it was incredibly important foreshadowing. The foundation, the trap, the big bad all at once hidden behind a cool, fucked up bear in the second goddamn episode of the season.

the 4th episode of series 5 of ghosts is such a testament to laurence's acting (and writing) ability! the way he plays two drastically different characters in multiple scenes together and is able to create that sense of emotion is just amazing!!!

Hello Monica! How do you like "Hidden agenda"? I didn't want to watch because of Dunk's bad acting. How do you like the show? Did Guy and Podd appear in it?
hello to you too, anon!!!!
MMHHMMMM I MEAN. i can't say im disliking the show because it's a very mindless and easy watch, there's nothing in it that bothers me to the point it makes me want to drop it, but at the same time there's also really nothing in it that i find particularly interesting ;;;;;;;
what frustrates me the most is the lack of screentime and the wasted potential of most of the characters tbh. we're at episode 6 and basically know nothing about them: guy and arm, for example, showed up exactly for 0.3 seconds in two episodes and we didn't learn anything new about them outside of what the character descriptions that came out before the show started already told us. they had such brief on-screen moments that i can't even remember their characters' name ;;;;;;; even jeng and pok (aou's and boom's characters respectively), who are the side pairing of the show, have had VERY limited screentime and most of their storyline from the mock trailer seems to have been completely scrapped from the script, which is a pity considering that aouboom have a nice chemistry and that a lot of people were looking forward to get more of them as a pairing
i guess i probably wouldn't mind it as much if joke and zo had a stronger plot, but unfortunately the agenda has never really been hidden and joke's only personality trait seems to be being in love with zo, so it just leaves me wanting for MORE. i know we're only halfway through the show so there's plenty that still can happen in the time we have left, but we're also ALREADY halfway through the show and i think they could have handled all of the characters way better
tl;dr: i don't dislike it, but up until now it's been very forgettable and i wouldn't really recommend it ;;;;;;
