It almost seems that there is some blame of Pellew, somehow, for the way Retribution turned out. Which is completely insane; there was nothing he could have done. And yeah, I squee at how clearly he loves Horatio; it makes him so...human? His smirk and the sideways look to the other admirals - and his anger at Buckland for endangering Horatio was completely personal.
Your mum must have had an interesting time of it - you can see where she would get that impression! XD I really like the idea of Pellew as this distant but very much invested father figure. And Horatio really has NO IDEA how much he is cared for by him, and various people. (Did he really need to ask Archie 'why'?) I wonder if there is a lack of good Pellewfic because he doesn't slash well - much of what I have seen is slash rather than gen.
Bush yelling is so great. XD It's just unexpected, his voice, because he's sort of finely-built and restrained. I didn't know he had four sisters! He strikes me as being an isolated person, the type that fits well into the workings of the Navy. Aaaaand I'm holding back on saying much so I don't spoil your enjoyment of the next ep.
