You know, I love, love, love the fact that I can come back and watch F&L for the fourth or fifth time, and I'll pick up on entirely new things that I never, ever, ever saw before. It's pretty goddamned fantastic.
And yeah. Archie in that scene is fascinating. On the one hand, he can't make it any clearer that he thinks the French are slovenly and disgusting and can't be efficient. On the other, he gives Edrington shit about his men being impeccably turned out. I'm willing to put the taunting of Edrington Edrington down to the fact that he wants Edrington so bad, but still. It's weird.
Randomly. There's also his tone of VOICE when he's bitching to Horatio about Edrington buying his commission at the end of the scene. There's a little malice in it, but then the pitch of his voice goes up at the end in this way at the end in a way that I'm just like *_____* don't even to tell me that there wasn't at least one Army/Navy blowjob in the cabin that Edrington took over from the first lieutenant since he's not only a major, but also an earl. *_____________*
I blame this sudden burning desire to write Archie-fic on you. He was never this interesting before you started pointing out how much he bought into Navy hierarchy and was a fascinating parallel to Hamelt and so on and so forth.
