“Friendship … is a thing most necessary for life, since no one would choose to live without friends though he should have all the other good things in the world: and, in fact, men who are rich or possessed of authority and influence are thought to have special need of friends: for where is the use of such prosperity if there be taken away the doing of kindnesses of which friends are the most usual and most commendable objects? Or how can it be kept or preserved without friends? because the greater it is so much the more slippery and hazardous: in poverty moreover and all other adversities men think friends to be their only refuge.”

- The Ethics of Aristotle, Book VIII

James/Miranda/Thomas Appreciation Week |  Day Six: Favorite “Little Thing”

Their shared love of reading aka the fact they’re all huge nERDs.

James/Miranda/Thomas Appreciation Week |  Day Three: Favorite James/Miranda and/or Thomas/Miranda Moment/Memory of Each Other

VI.

"I had a very different life before I came here. A life I shared with my husband. He was a special man, a man of ideas—about the world, about the order of things. Writers, artists, men of science—they'd fill our drawing room night after night to talk and argue. Sometimes just to listen to him. In some ways he was like you—a shepherd to his flock. ... You think I can play devil's advocate? Thomas would have played that game with you from dusk until dawn. And everything you hold sacred, he'd leave in tatters. Not from malice or hate, but from love. From a desire to see the yoke of shame lifted from your shoulders."

This is the first time we hear Miranda talk about her marriage to Thomas. From the way she speaks of him, it’s clear that Miranda held a great amount of affection and respect for Thomas. Miranda and Thomas had such little time on screen together, but this scene really helps establish the kind of relationship they had. All of the awards to Louise Barnes.

James/Miranda/Thomas Appreciation Week |  Day Two: Favorite James/Miranda/Thomas Moment/Memory of Each Other

XI.

T: "The lieutenant was just recounting to me his belief that the only thing that stands between us and a prosperous Nassau is an ocean, 100 years of history, and human nature."

M: "Has he been like this all day?"

J: "More or less, ma'am, yes."

M: [hands James a copy of Don Quixote] "A gift. One of my favorites, and you might find it helpful in dealing with my husband going forward."

T: "Thank you, dear. Well played."

James/Thomas Appreciation Week | Day Three: Favorite Kiss

XIII.

It’s the obvious choice, but I do love their first kiss. The way Thomas walks over to James and puts a hand on his shoulder; his hesitancy before leaning in closer; James looking a mix of surprised and scared, but ultimately leaning in to meet Thomas; Thomas’s hand caressing James’s face; and James reaching up to embrace Thomas and his feelings for him. It’s such a tender, poignant scene that conveys so much about their relationship.

James/Thomas Appreciation Week |  Day Two: Favorite Moment/Scene

XII.

I really love the whole scene of James standing up and defending Thomas and his plan to Thomas's father. James is willing to put his reputation and possibly his career on the line because he knows how much the pardons mean to Thomas. He knows that Thomas has the best intentions and really wants to make positive changes in Nassau. After everyone telling him that the pardons are a bad idea, having James stand up for him means the world to Thomas. This little moment at the end of the scene is as close as we get to James telling Thomas that he loves him.
