okay but the way flint’s ENTIRE FACE literally TREMBLES with BARELY REPRESSED RAGE when he answers miranda’s question “who would you be apologizing to?” as if a DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE is being held at bay JUST BENEATH HIS SKIN is literally emmy-worthy already right
and then!!! AND THEN!!!!
the cords that were holding together ANY MEASURE of composure he had just SNAP in the time it takes to cut from miranda back to him and WHAT IS UNDERNEATH ISN’T RAGE IT ALL!!! what comes rushing out when the dam breaks is just UNMITIGATED SADNESS and his face COLLAPSES under the weight of the suffering that in this moment he cannot turn to fury; he is just bROKEN BROKEN BROKEN
“My seamanship, my prospects for garnering plunder, my skill in a fight, the sound of my voice, the sound of another man’s eating. I suppose at the end of the day, they’re all functionally equivalent. A man casts his vote for the same reason he does anything in his life.”
The outcome is only uncertain for those who disbelieve. I believe in this place, and I believe if there’s anyone who can do what’s necessary to make it something better, it’s you.

James Flint in every episode: XXIX. I have well over 200 men unaccounted for.
Those who remain, it will be very hard to explain to them why,
with all I have to attend to, I choose to stand here hanging onto the fate of just one of them.
I know that you and he had been working closely together of late, become friends even.
I don’t know what I’m trying to say. Perhaps just that… he is my friend, too.
