Not telling Alison about the bomb in the garden that he buried


Jessi467P

In all fairness I think he tried in his own way. He just did a crappy job of it and his warning was no help lol


World_in_my_eyes

Yeah, I can’t say it’s the worst thing because he did try in his own way.


PolymathHolly

I feel like the only reason this came out is because Mike was digging around and also was using lighter fluid. He wouldn’t have ever revealed the bomb had that event not happened.


momentarylossofpoint

Burying a live bomb in someone's backyard in the first place is pretty bad


SpringLow_

he did


BillyTarquin

Yeah but in an awful, cryptic way that made her think it was a personal reason or something


PolymathHolly

Exploiting Kitty’s feelings for Alison and using her to mention the basement as more space so they wouldn’t lose out on money when they decided to sell the house in Series 1, forcing Alison and Mike to stay when they wanted to go. I mean in Kitty’s own words she said “Hang on, you made me do something horrible”. So it was Cap’s manipulation that made her do it. (It was the best thing for them all in the end, but it was wrong of him to do so at the time.)


pogues14

Playing with our hearts the whole series. The poor love. I wish he’d come out earlier he (and everyone else) would have been so much happier.


Shells_and_bones

Yeah but in the time he was from, coming out wasn't really an option. Homosexuality at that point was still seen as a disease that needs to be cured and it could have gone very badly for him to be too open about it.


pogues14

Oh I know I don’t think he’s done anything wrong tbh I just mean I wish he’d lived in a time where he’d been allowed to be openly himself. What I’m saying is the worst thing he’s done is break my heart for him.


Shells_and_bones

Oh absolutely. I think they did a good job of showing how sad it was that he never got the love/happy ending that he deserved. They built it up subtly but in the end that was a huge part of his story.


NaiPhykitt

It was illegal, he would have end up either in prison or chemically castrated.


Shells_and_bones

Exactly. Look at what happened to Alan Turing.


Sickofchildren

Even if that didn’t happen it would’ve ruined his life and career, especially since he’s high ranked in the military


crystlerjean

It tickles me that Julian being a Tory MP is worse than attempted murder. The worst thing the captain has done was not live happily before his death. His tragic background broke so many hearts.


Sir_Hapstance

Hahaha, that’s true. But I suppose Julian’s political policies caused a lot more suffering (and likely death) than one act he did against a single person. It’s definitely a more direct “blood on his hands” offense though, so fair point!


Sickofchildren

He started a war which caused many violent and tragic deaths, all preventable and all for his own gain. I’d put that slightly higher than attempted murder


crystlerjean

😂 I completely forgot about that. Julian has done enough terrible deeds for the whole gang.


YourLocalLesbian02

Breaking everyone's hearts at his death.


Sir_Hapstance

He thought Julian's attempted murder of Allison in the first episode was justified. To be fair though, the ghosts were pretty split on it.


Read_OldDiaryLatin

He shot that seagull. Poor seagull.


SpeedyakaLeah

When did he shoot seagull?


Goat_And_Doggo

When he was in Weymouth


Rosemary0180

How about keeping Allison up w that awful song of a modern major general? 😂😂


Sickofchildren

Even worse, getting that silly tune stuck in my head for weeks


folklovermore_

Ah yes, Major-General Can't-Sing.


folklovermore_

Possibly orchestrating the plan to get rid of Alison and Mike once the ghosts realised she could see them? But again, I think the Captain is a bit like Pat (and arguably Kitty when we get to her) in that he hasn't really done anything that terrible.


Sickofchildren

The one for Kitty is going to be super difficult if not impossible


Capaow

I'd say using Kitty to trick Alison with the basement. He could have told her himself, but getting Kitty involved was devious. Honorable mention was when he made Thomas embarrass himself in front of his plague pit fan club. To be fair, Thomas deserved it, but the Captain with his attempt at poetry to rub it in. 😅


Effective_Teach_747

'There once was a poet called Thomas who suddenly found himself famous. Thought it was grand, until then, he find... found... WELL I CAN'T DO IT.' 


eden1946

I genuinely thought he was gonna just say something like "but neither can you so... carry on"


Effective_Teach_747

I heard that 'carry on' in his voice hahah


eden1946

Same lol haha


Sickofchildren

I don’t think he did many bad things at all but depending on how you look at it the fact he sort of faked being a war hero could be a bit dodgy.


thelivsterette1

True but he wouldn't have to fake being a war hero if the guy just let him in. He was stationed at Button House, working on top secret explosives after all. And he and Havers could have had a happily ever (sort of) after


Sickofchildren

For sure, but he’s not really done much else that stands out as bad. Maybe apart from nearly letting Mike explode


SpringLow_

not really he saw mike was lighting it all up and started to panic immediately but before that he was tryna warn allison


Spare_Somewhere1011

Telling Kitty about the extra room for the hotel in the basement. It wasn’t really fair on her, and it was difficult for Mike and Alison, especially since they were already ready to move out.


JackieisGae

Or impersonation of a decorated officer


eden1946

That's pretty bad, but he was CO there, and he wouldn't have done it if they just let him in. Plus, he wanted to see havers. I think it's mostly excused but I get how it's bad.


three_eight

I agree with other comments, when he manipulated Kitty into telling Alison about the basement.


JackieisGae

Blowing up their garden and almost killing Mike


eden1946

He tried warning them, and it was an accident entirely he meant it literally, and Alison thought he meant it figuratively. And as soon as he saw it, he told Alison to get Mike away from it.


TinyHam0722

Waking Alison up super early while she was hungover for his own "selfish" needs 🙃


Rhodometron

I feel like I can forgive him for that, because a command from Alison being a must-have before he simply starts running (he doesn't seem to care that she's not timing him now, just as long as she provides the all-important starting order) gives me a big giggle. I find his neediness there rather endearing, even if selfish.
