AAAAAAAHHHHHHH THIS. So I feel terribly guilty, for I feel I am rather responsible for quite a bit of the pain you're going through. While I know I wasn't the only one doing so, I most certainly nagged you to watch this show. Then I told you it was canceled. .............apologies.
PICSPAM. Freddie and his face are things that exist(ex - NO TOO MUCH PAIN). Skyfall is worth a watch for Ben's face alone. Plus, his hair is fantastic in it. P.S. That gif on the third row right of Freddie and Bel looking at each other LIKE THAT - Exhibit A of why I will never recover.
So I don't know if you ever went back and read my post about the Hour now that you've watched, but unsurprisingly, your thoughts are my thoughts. Often to the letter. We are gross, etc., etc.
That final Hector/Marnie scene is flawless. Just wonderful. There are so many things he could have said to that admission, good and bad and everything in between, but then he said, "Clever girl," and I was just like, "OH." This show is better than all the things.
MARNIE MADDEN EXISTS.
THIS x A BILLION. Marnie Madden is my queen, I adore her, I need her always.
Both the scene where she confronts Bel about the affair and the scene in the car where she tells Hector that their marriage is for all intents and purposes over were some of the best in the series. Her development in S2 was such a highlight.
Yesssss this. God, I LOVE that scene with Bel. She has such a quiet fire to her, and usually I hate women who stand by their horrible cheating husbands, but something about Marnie Madden and what she does and how she feels, guh, it's all just glorious. Stunning arc from start to finish.
Peter Capaldi is a perfect human. Tell me you've seen The Thick of It. TELL ME YOU HAVE.
I CAN'T TALK ABOUT BEL/FREDDIE. I CAN'T DO IT. I JUST. WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT THEM. WHAT IS AIR. DEAD.
NOOOOOOOOO THE MONEYPENNY. JUST KILL ME. JUST END IT.
The thing that really makes Bel/Freddie for me is that despite their differences, they are completely kindred spirits -- they BELIEVE IN what they're doing, they would die for it, and even with their mutual plain ambition they're both driven at the end of the day by caring too much.
This is what makes them the best. Yes, they're attracted to each other, yes, they're best friends, yes to all of these things that would already make them an OTP of OTP's to me, but through it all, though they are different people who clash and argue and drive each other crazy, they have the same core. They are both driven by the same, all-consuming passion for truth. And that's what makes them the only one for the other. Camille got it right when she basically said that Freddie only cares about the news. Because he does. He will always be the one staying up all night researching a story. And Bel will be right next to him, researching the same story, not for him, but for herself. They are the only two people who will ever really understand that about each other. BASICALLY THEY ARE PERFECT KILL ME NOW.
I don't believe for a second that Freddie got married in an attempt to ~lure Bel in because she has a bad habit with married men.
Ugh, are there people who say this? Incorrect. It was clearly Freddie trying to move on out of desperation, because he was always going to be in love with this girl, but he couldn't always be waiting for her.
YOU ARE POSSIBLE WITH ME IS THE GREATEST LINE TO HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO ME. SOMETIMES I JUST REPEAT IT TO MYSELF APROPOS OF NOTHING WHEN I AM COOKING OR IN THE CAR OR BRUSHING MY TEETH. I DON'T EVEN KNOW. THAT LINE IS SEARED INTO MY SOUL.
So, instead, I’m sending this prayer out there. Just hoping that somehow you’ll know to come home. Just please come home. Now, soon and maybe your courage will make me brave too. Just come home and I will leap too.
