Horatio Time!
It's sunday, I've grown to love sundays...again. Why? Because Hornblower is back on. I might be simple, but I have yet to get bored of watching the same episdoes again, and again. . . and again.
Episode: Duchess and the Devil.
Rating: Sick!Archie-being-spoonfed-by-Horatio/10
As always, the soundtrack in Hornblower is top notch. I mean, holy fucking hell is it good. In particular the dramatic-fanfare theme, and the wispy-nautical theme. Very well composed and conducted and if anyone has a copy of them, please, please, PLEEEASE send them to me.
I would love you forever.
Edit: I take that back, you can all love me forever now.
The HORNBLOWER SOUNDTRACK!!1!
Track 1: Hornblower Theme (the wispy theme, for when Horatio is pouty)
Track 2: The Indy Theme (the song that they don't play much.)
Track 3: Dramatic Theme (SO obviously recorded with a mircophone whilst watching Mutiny)
Track 4: THE Hornblower Theme (When I think Hornblower, I think of this amazingly brilliant song. Dun. Dun. Dah-DAAAAAAaaaAAAAAH!!!!!)

It's been zipped because it is only 4 minutes of music. Enjoy everyone.
Anyway, this episode really highlights Horatio's inability to comprehend sarcasm. I mean, he's been under the rule of Pellew for so long and he still doesn't get it when Pellew is being …Pellew. Granted, it is utterly adourable when Pellew decides to make his promotion sound like a demotion and Horatio looks like he's about to cry.
But hot damn, that boy just doesn't get sarcasm.
For Example:
Sarcastic Event One:
Pellew: Horatio, you're a greedy greedy bastard. You wanted that Spanish ship all to yourself so you'd get the money didn't you?
Horatio: I did not!! *pout*
Bracegirdle: *is silently laughing at Horatio*
Sarcastic Event Two:
Hornblower must attend a dinner. Bracegirdle and Hunter make fun of his panicky angst by teaching him how to serve monkey meat. Horatio is very grateful to them. Obviously wasn't picking up on the jealousy vibes radiating from those two.
There were some more of these events, but I feel bad for paying out on Horatio. He did get one joke though. I was so proud of him.
And ONWARDS! To my favourite moments this evening:
First off, the highlight of this episode. Archie being spoon-fed. *melts*
*is a happy pile of goo in a bucket right now*
Moving onwards toGodzilla crushing the city Hunter having a tantrum.
GRR! Kill those lemons Hunter! Everyone must die of scurvy, that'll show those Spanish bastards!
Midshipman Hornblower, means Midshipman hats:
They are the BEST hats in the world. If the other hats Horatio wears during the series aren't included on that list.
This is Oldroyd:
I quite like Oldroyd, and tonight I got Oldroyd/Styles vibes. Very wrong of me, but I feel I must defend them.
Styles, has the maturity of a 6 year old child, with a crush on the girl in front of him. I can see Styles pulling people's hair to let them know he thinks they're sex on legs.
Now, Oldroyd apparently was at fault for getting Hornblower put in the hole (not Hunter, nooo) but I'm thinking Styles was just using that as an excuse for hitting Oldroyd whenever he could.
Can't you see the love?
As I have seen this episode many, many times I ended up checking out the extras. I do that a lot actually. But the extra's in Hornblower are fantastic.
Spanish Guard One : Wellard's future Husband.
It is not, old man though. It's the guy who is ALWAYS standing behind him. Man, he is the Hornblower equivalent of Tezuka on the emotions front though.
Spanish Guard Two : THE Spanish Guard
This man, is a legend.
He stokes a fire and shows Horatio and Archie back to their cell, smiling and being generally suggestive. He's such a Horatio/Archie fanboy.
And now, because seriously, it's an episode with Archie and I've BARELY had ANY pictures of him at ALL! ! ! 1 ! ! one !
Archie Time!:
Sickly Archie:
Healthier Archie:
Archie, the SEX god:
Other Archie images:
Lazy Archie.
Hanging out with Hunter. Who is batshit.
Modelling underwear.
And let's not forget Horatio. He's sex on legs too:
Though when I see him like this and still think he's a sex god, I realise I might actually love him just because he's Horatio Hornblower - World Class Dork and all-round nice guy.
Other points raised during this episode:
- Horatio stuffing his stockings was both hilarious, and adourable at the same time. I'm so utterly in love.
- Pellew is such a dude.
- The Duchess (aka Kitty) is SO Ms. Morwich - the overly happy english teacher at our school (both in looks, AND personality)
- Hunter is such a bastard and steals Archie's food. Jerkoff.
- There always seems to be a suicidal lunatic for each Hornblower episode. Bunting, Hunter, Wellard.
- Horatio's line "I wont survive if you don't help me" in his passionate "don't kill yourself Archie" speach made me melt in a happy pile.
- Hunter's stupid weapons: Hitting people with a gun, sharpened Rocks and a ring of keys.
- When Horatio was spending time with Kitty, Styles DARED to suggest Horatio was straight. Being in a prisson for so long has obviously broken his brain.
- Horatio actually swears. Often.
- In his hole, a rat climbs on Horatio's shoulder. He has a hissy fit, picks the rat up, puts it down safely, then continues the hissy fit. Awww.
- Spyglass vision is sexy.
NOTHING TO DO WITH DUCHESS AND THE DEVIL!!:
Oh, Archie! Oh Horatio!
