>protagonist commits war crime in the first episodeGood show.
>>214490228Is that the guy who played Reed in the first Fantastic Four movie?
>>214490228>Horatio>HornblowerCould the producers be any more obvious about pushing the gay agenda?

>>214490281Like "marital rape"
>>214492620Not quite but thanks for playing
>>214490228>muh war crimesWhy do people pretend this is some kind of intrinsic shit, this crap was invented by out of touch politicians just a few decades ago who have never held a single gun, nothing but an attempt to make war politically correct.
>>214490228literal mary sue for naval fags>but it's ok because he doesn't take part in any of the major battlesno fuck you
>>214492993Just stfu and enjoy the boatkino
>>214490228holy kek is that moot? how'd he land a role
O THE YEAR WAS 1778 HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOK NOW
>>214490228Well he could blow my horn, if you catch my drift..
>>214491582There's no women there. They get a pass for that.

>>214493494NOW I SIT A BROKEN MAN ON A HALIFAX PIERRRRRRRRR
>>214496203ITS BEEN SIX YEARS SINCE WE SAILED AWAY AND I JUST MADE HALIFAX YESTERDAY, GOD DAMN THEM ALL!
>>214490228desperately need my bussy deep fucked by a man wearing this
>>214492920Hornblower pretends to forget the articles of war in one episode, so he has an excuse to attack the enemy while still sailing under their flag on a captured ship.A junior officer tries to stop him, but he says something like “when we have the leisure you can show me where it is written and I will concede the point”. It’s played for laughs but a lot of men die. He’s absolutely a war criminal, by definition. It’s kind of his schtick as a commander, come to think of it.
>>214497125You just dont get it
>>214497164What have I missed?
>>214492993He was named for Horatio Nelson, who did even more insane shit.Then there's Jack Aubrey, who also did crazy things (still short of Nelson though).
fuckers ended the serie on a cliffhanger
>>214490228Is this Sharpe? Why is this the most aesthetic look for all time.
I absolutely love this show. It's one of the few things that makes me feel something other than misery and anger.
The phrase "war crime" is an oxymoron
>>214497218The books continue on.
>>214497225Hornblower. More kinoer than Sharpe in my autistic opinion
>>214497176>>214497246
>>214497225I think it’s the rows of brass buttons
>>214497266Absolutely true. Hornblower repeatedly makes the correct decision. But you do have to acknowledge he breaks lots of formal rules. It’s a baked in character trait. He shouldn’t have made it out of the one court martial we see him go through, not it the letter of the law had been followed perfectly.
>>214497225Hornblower. Good watch if you liked Master and Commander.
>>214497300Ive never seen it i was just here for the sea shanties
>>214490228'war crime' is a cuck phrase
>>214497300It's almost as if cavalier rule-breaking is what makes the series compelling and exciting. Look at harry potter - those kids always be breaking the rules. You have a weirdly rigid view on this.
>>214497501I said I agreed with Hornblower, up to and including pushing an elderly gentlemen, just to be clear.HOWEVER. Gryffindor didn’t deserve those extra points, and mister aitch should’ve swung from the yard arm.
>>214497587Yeah that was just slopping writing on JKs part
>>214497598It really was, you can tell exactly when she got overwhelmed and hired a ghostwriter to help her finish her children’s series, with the effect that the few passages she did personally write for book seven stick out like a sore thumb.
>>214493529>>214493547Reminder that back in the Age of Sail laws against sodomy had an exception for "more than 90 days at sea".
>>214497587>up to and including pushing an elderly gentlemenThere is NO PROOF this occurred.
>>214497225The Napoleonic era was the most SOVLful that warfare has ever been, both on land and sea.
>>214497125does he lose the fight?
>>214497225Where do I begin?
>>214497711APRIL 1805NAPOLEON IS MASTER OF EUROPEONLY THE BRITISH FLEET STANDS BEFORE HIMOCEANS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS
>>214498004>OCEANS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDSnow?
>>214498024Battlefields (formerly Oceans)A daring synthesis
>>214497985Left to right.
>>214497688Can you imagine when it’s been 89 days? Oh man, doesn’t matter if you wanted your shit pushed in or you didn’t. Either way, you’d be sweating, all your bodily attention focused on that prostate of yours.
>>214497985Release order.
>>214498046>Battlefields (formerly Oceans)
>>214497985https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornblower_(TV_series)#The_film_series
>>214497985Start with Mutiny and Retribution. They’re a two parter and as good as the series ever gets.Then work your way backwards, from The Wrong War, skipping the Duchess and the Devil, and then watching the Fire Ships. If you still enjoyed it enough, try The Duel, but those early episodes were very rough. Personally I’d skip Season Three. Hornblower goes through some aggressive flanderisation, there’s an unnecessary and intrusive romantic plot and it ends on an unresolved cliffhanger.
Any Hornblower sailing anons want to sort me on this question?>You're close-hauled on the port tack, beating up the channel with a north-easterly wind blowing strong, with Dover bearing north two miles. The wind veers four points, taking you flat aback. What do you do, sir?From the exam. He doesn't answer in about three seconds, and is told he dismasts as a result.Is there actually an answer for what to do here? I tried looking around the internet and there are some claims it's a trick question where there is no answer not leading to "you're fucked".
>>214498243I aggressively begin swabbing the poop deck in a nor-nor-easterly direction, accounting for the sway of the jib, of course.
>>214498243>there are some claims it's a trick question where there is no answer not leading to "you're fucked".In that case I order the band to play Waltzing Matilda and prepare to go down with my ship.
>>214498243I fire a broadside into the cliffs of Dover, which hopefully provides me enough counter thrust. If this fails, I scream “From’s Hell’s black heart I stab at thee!” as the ship runs aground.
>>214498243It's literally a trick question. Anyone who's been at sea for more than a year would get it.
>>214498243If you try and turn to go hard starboard, it won't work. You lose all steering (because flat aback).If you change tack to starboard you smash into Dover.It is a trick question.
>>214492814How are war crimes not real
>>214498986Because marriage isnt war, its a social contract
>>214498243BEAT TO QUARTERS, BRACE YOURSELVES MEN, FULL SAIL AHEAD
>>214498405So what was the intent of the examiners? Was the right answer to say that there is no right answer or did they just want to fail him?
>>214499754yes
