If anyone’s interested, I met Gary Oldman again tonight and asked him a question that’s been burning inside me for a while…

“If it were up to you, would you rather Jackson end up with Standish or Diana?”

He paused, stared into the distance of contemplation for a few moments, then leaned forward and whispered…

“Standish.”

And then he giggled, and then I passed away xoxox

Gary Oldman is officially a Lambdish shipper, pass it on 😚

Thinking about the parallels between Frank Harkness and David Cartwright. David didn't groom River for his chosen career to the extent that Harkness would have, but the end result isn't all that different.

River's miserable at Slough House and would be even unhappier at the Park, but he refuses to quit, or acknowledge that he's not suited to the work. He can't imagine any kind of future where he's not in MI5, even though he knows exactly what MI5 is like and it's actively tried to kill him more than once.

I wonder how much David consciously molded River to follow in his footsteps, and - given that David knows exactly what MI5 is like - how much he thought or cared about what that would do to him.

Just rewatched the River and David scene at the end of s3 and it is so much more fucked up than I remembered.

River has just come very very close to being murdered on the direct orders of First Desk, basically for being in the wrong place (that she sent him to!). Before that he was beaten up by the head of MI5 security and he still has the marks of that on his face.

He goes to his grandfather for support and guidance about that and the fact that MI5 accidentally put someone in a coma and then covered it up by murdering someone, and David's response is 1) if people knew about that it would be bad for the Service (not the national interest or the greater good, specifically MI5), and 2) you nearly being killed is irrelevant, if anything it means your judgement is bad and you shouldn't have an opinion on this. Then he burns the literally and figuratively blood-soaked file and tells River it's for his own good.
