Slow Horses, s5e6
It's thinking about Darcy desperately yearning running into Elizabeth at Pemberley hours.
Like, you fell in love with this woman, but rationally (pridefully) you though it wasn't something you should pursue. But you can't forget her, and then she's at Rosings... and the more you see her - with her wit, her eyes, the liveliness of her mind - the more she undoes every expectation of who you should marry that you'd ever had. You prolong your trip to see more of her, you start imagining what it will be like married to her and unwisely after only seeing her again for a week begin asking how she'd feel living far away from Longbourn, and even hint things like she'd be staying at Rosings next time she visits Kent.
It's too much. You're feeling too much.
She's due to visit for tea the night before you take leave, and an evening gives far more opportunity for privacy and conversation than sitting in Mrs Collins' drawing room for half an hour the next day.
But she doesn't come, she's feeling ill, and you won't see her. If you don't make an effort, you might never see her again. It's not like Bingley will be going back to Netherfield anytime soon, after all.
You bail on the evening and go check if she's ok.
It's late, but you have to see her.
Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden & Olivia Colman are set to lead Netflix's 'Pride and Prejudice' limited series.
Jack Lowden as Mr. Darcy? Yes, please!
He is so good in period dramas, and will absolutely smash this role. Subtle emotions and nuanced facial acting are his forte, and Mr. Darcy is all about that.
If we split River and Louisa into emotional and rational categories, River leans emotional while Louisa leans rational, yet they nourish each other through their interactions.
It’s Louisa who acts as River’s voice of reason during his two emotional breakdowns (in s3 when he learns of Spider’s death and in s4 pub conversation). This is likely why she’s the one he calls in s4.
Conversely, River provides emotional support to Louisa when she tries to suppress her feelings (such as in s2 when he tries to call her and hugs her in the church, and in s3 when he lets her release her emotions and hugs her in the car). This support is crucial for her, a role that Min once filled, which might explain why she falls apart in s4 when she thinks River is dead and she says it’s happening again.
their dynamic breaks the traditional gender roles of emotion and rationality often seen in media, and I guess that’s why people are drawn to this pairing or to each character individually.
For all you Gary Oldman/Jackson Lamb lovers out there: A little ‘what if’ game inspired by the character we’ve all grown to love, farts and all.
Two scenes, same concept — River meets up with his dad in a bar.
The differences —
With Harkness:
- Nighttime
- Crowded posh bar
- River has to be pushed toward Harkness
- River and Harkness are across and as far away as possible from each other
- Harkness drinks, River doesn’t
- Hostile
With Lamb:
- Daylight
- Quiet local pub
- River joins Lamb willingly
- River and Lamb are next to each other, even close enough to overlap in the frame
- Synchronized drinking
- Safe
Oh, I beg you, can I follow?
Oh, I ask you, why not always?
Be the ocean, where I unravel
Be my only
Be the water where I'm wading
You're my river running high
Run deep, run wild
I, I follow
I follow you, deep sea, baby
I follow you
I, I follow
I follow you, dark doom, honey
I follow you
I was trying to analyze why I got so obsessed with Slow Horses after the fourth season and not the previous ones, although I liked them... and I suspect this scene is to blame—River pawing at the gun like an angry cat, batting it away. It's obviously futile, it won't help, but he doesn't give up even after he's lost, when there's no chance he might win. I don't know how to call this. Defiance? Tenacity? Anyway, I think it's a quality more commonly found in villains, and it's fascinating :)
Was wondering the exact same thing the other day. Why season 4?
In some ways it is very different from the first three in that we have a plot mainly revolving around one character from Slough House and his (tragic) family background. We get one central narrative and a main point of view whereas in the previous ones it was always several POV’s and a number of stories even if they all interconnected somehow.
The first three seasons felt more like an ensemble show in which each character got a bit of screen time but it was hard to identify with any one in particular because we were never given the opportunity. We were only given snippets of each character here and there. In season 4 though we break away from this ensemble formula, and get a deeper dive into River’s backstory, his childhood, the personal issues that torment him, etc.
Arguably, Lamb has been the lead character in the show all along, and we know more about the ghosts of his past as well, but frankly, he is a much harder character to identify with. Lamb is smart and funny but ultimately isn’t a very *nice* or loveable person. He’s more like an anti-hero, whereas River tries to do the right thing, fails repeatedly, but always gets up and tries again. Many of us want to identify with a person like that.
In short, Season 4 has given us a more interesting, well-rounded hero type, and a bit more character development. In my view, this has made the show more captivating though I’ve seen critiques complain that season 4 has less fast-paced action and convoluted sub-plots compared to previous seasons. Personally, I don’t mind this change one bit.
