Pullings and Calamy

[elspeth]

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but when I watch my copy of m&c i always seem to notice that on the occasions where Calamy has centre stage, Pullings doesn't exactly look as thrilled as say, Aubrey.
ie when Calamy is on the raft to confuse the Acheron, whilst the mood is tense, if you watch Pullings face as the raft is moved to the stern of the boat (he's standing behind Jack), he looks... somewhat displeased? Well, it doesn't appear concerned in relation to the other crew (but that's IMHO).
and when Jack informs Pullings that Calamy is to lead the boarding party and 'may well turn the tide' a similar sort of expression is on his face... coincidence?
btw i have nothing against James D'Arcy, i like his work, and he was one of the reasons i went to see m&c (i love him as Pullings!)- i just find these observations funny.

I know it! I thought that was kind of funny. I kind of detected a little competition between Jack's proteges. Actually, that was what inspired me to sort of pair the two against each other in my fic Harbors of Misfortune. I kind of like Jack's little ones going at it for "daddy's" attention. =P James D'Arcy is wonderful (nowhere near Max though). I saw one of his earlier flicks (I think it was "Rebel Heart") on either BBC or History and drooled during a juicy love scene he has with his love interest. I am dying to see "Dot the I"...oops. This turned slightly off-topic, didn't it. Sorry, folks.

Hey sillytigerlily, Harbors of Misfortune sounds interesting... where can I read it?

[sillytigerlily]

PM me with your email address and I'll send you a copy. I've actually pulled it offline because I'm currently working on a book version of it. Thanks! -sarah

The reason he seems envious is that he was once a midshipman and would get these assignments, but now as second in command can not be a candidate for those missions/risks.
