Okay I love this scene and I want to wax lyrical about it for a mo.

Because it’s so gentle.

So often in media, when (on those rare occasions) you do see two men kiss, it can be rough, or aggressive, or fiercely passionate. Which is fine, depending on the circumstances (although sometimes it is jarring if the intensity of the kiss is disproportionate to the scene.)

But this is so soft and warm and lovely.

And they easily could have played it different. We’ve seen the badass that James can be, the strength and violence he has in him. They so easily could have turned this into something fierce, something possessive and manly.

But it’s not. It’s gentle and slow and full of joy and relief. And that’s such a wonderful thing to see in a series that is so often full of pain and blood and violence.

I just love this scene a lot okay?

Odysseus, on his journey home to Ithaca, was visited by a ghost.

The ghost tells him that once he reaches his home, once he slays all his
enemies and sets his house in order, he must do one last thing before
he can rest.
The ghost tells him to pick up an oar and walk inland.
And keep walking until somebody mistakes that oar for a shovel.
For that would be the place that no man had ever been troubled by the sea.
And that’s where he’d find peace.


In the end, that’s all I want.
To walk away from the sea and find some peace.

You might like him, sir. Actually, I went to one of those salons of his, the ones that half the Royal Society attend but most deny. Most of those men are pretenders, sir, attracted to his ideas because they make them feel like radicals. But Thomas…when he talks about the need to rethink things, systemic things, I think he truly believes what he’s saying. And what’s more, I’m afraid I might believe a good deal of it as well.

Thomas?

I’m sorry, sir. He refuses to stand on ceremony, insists on the familiar.
