Honestly what kills me most about the flashbacks in season 2 is seeing how easy James found it bringing Thomas up in conversation when he wasn’t even in the room and yet since losing him he can’t do that, he has to literally steel himself and fight back the pain, fight back tears, fight back all the emotion he’s feeling just to say his name – let alone actually talk about him in any sort of depth – to strangers.
And just Toby Stephens I’m gonna fight you for ruining my life.
