Tag: The Look is definitely not something I’d want to cross

redwhale:

I was rewatching the S2 London scenes to see if I’d missed any character/dialogue tics* that were worth keeping track of for writing purposes, and had to laugh at James getting this expression from Thomas in response to pointing out that Alfred would distance himself from Thomas re: the pardons.

The Look

™.

(*Thomas can be so damn fidgety a lot of the time, which makes a fantastic contrast for how absolutely still and focused Thomas is with the confrontation with his father, barely blinking, barely moving outside of speaking. It’s also an interesting comparison to McGraw, who doesn’t really move that much outside of the odd hand-fidget.

As a lot of people pointed out in other posts, James as Flint actually becomes quite fidgety himself over the ten years since we’ve seen him in London, which I guess years of anxiety, trauma, and having to be alert sometimes nearly 24/7 would absolutely do to you.)
