Spilling the tea on my upcoming David Tennant career analysis!

[eduobsessed]

im really liking david tennant's character in broadchurch because i just know there's no way in hell he is gonna get any pussy for the length of this show and there is a sense of comfort and security in that. he is so bitchless its endearing.

bro I miss giffing so much I haven't had a proper laptop to run photoshop on because if I did lemme tell u the amount of sleep I will lose over editing Alec hardy it has been seven years since Broadchurch ended BUT ALEC HARDY is always on my mind

Ive been rewatching Broachurch because I'm well and truly back in my "slut for David Tennant" era and I have to laugh at the scene where our dear old broading detective Hardy propositions the hotel owner lady and she laughs in his face.

Girl. You and I are very different creatures. You may think the poor wet cat of a detective man isn't fit to withstand a light breeze, and you would be correct, but I would simply not turn down David Tennant if he was standing there staring at me with his puppy dog eyes looking all pathetic and charming...

i get why you lot like good omens now. and it was exactly what i needed after broachurch s1 which wounded me deeply in my soul. it is lighthearted, and there is a sense of comfort you get when you are like me and refuse to believe anything this lighthearted actually has stakes. which it does, im sure. but its just much easier to ignore them and watch the silly angel and goofy demon do things. and yes i am currently in denial of s2 ending if it wasnt obvious. my headcanon is actually that everything was well and everyone was happy. so look at that, this is such a sweet show. nothing soul crushing here :)

Okay my last post and then I’m done (for today I make no promises) five paragraph essay comparing grace point to broadchurch under the cut I always was a yapper at heart.

I think the main thing about Gracepoint is that, being a remake, it’s always going to have to be slightly different. That’s just the nature of remaking something. However, because intent was to Americanize it and nothing much else, it’s incredibly similar plot wise, and scene wise. It’s not like to like or scene to scene or anything, but I played them at the same time together and they’re pretty close in terms of story beats. OF COURSE This is not inherently bad, but when they’re so similar it’s basically impossible not to compare it with it’s source material. Of course, as I loved broadchurch, I am basically primed to not like grace point as much because it will inevitably change the things I like. Broadchurch is so good that any sort of deviation will likely not measure up.

Now, I have only seen two episodes, so I can’t exactly judge the show fairly, and my love for broadchurch probably bars me from doing so. But anyway, I’m gonna share my thoughts. I know there is merit to critizing Gracepoint in its own right, but quite frankly I’m more interested into why I prefer broadchurchz

First and most notably the acting is worse in GP. This is really noticeable in the latimer family counterparts. Especially the breakfast scene before all the shit goes down. In broadchurch they really felt like a family. It’s a bit awkward in GP. Also it sorta feels like Beth can’t emote any expression that would show any sort of face wrinkle—and I think it’s just the direction no diss to the actor I tend to think msot poor acting is down to direction. And it’s not even awful it’s just weird to be listening to someone who sounds on the verge of tears but doesn’t look it.

Also, the music is does not land as emotionally. In broadchurch, there were these swelling violins that really made the soundtrack. Made those emotional moments. In gracepoint, we only really get tense music..the silence…and the emotional counterpart is not nearly as pretty or impactful. Also, GP lacks music conveys somber and hope. The tone is just not there. The scene that specifically comes to mind is when mark is walking through the town meeting everyone, and the music in broadchurch gives the sense of community and trust. It sets up just how unexpected everything to come is going to be to them. In gracepoint the music is just sort of creepy. When Beth is walking through the field day at school, the music has hints of creepiness, but also this somber swell. In GP it’s kinda just creepy.

Then there’s the cinematography, which I’m realizing just how important it was to the feel of the show. It’s a pretty big downfall when comparing concurrent scenes. Grace point utilizes more interesting camera angles in some emotional moments, but those angles actually distort the importance of what we are seeing. When mark asks Beth “why didn’t you” in relation to checking on Danny the night he was murdered, broachurch holds a simple camera angle, titled slightly with an effect. We can clearly see marks face. In GP, that view is obscured by the sun, and by the shot being framed by Beth. We and see his face clearly. We don’t get a cut away to see them both together, and even if we had it wouldn’t have been as meaningful because in GP we saw them both together the entire time. We don’t feel the separation and tension the simple shots cutting back and forth between Beth and mark have that were in Bc.

Then there’s the scene length, which may actually be the most important part. GP, although having two more episodes than BC, has a slightly shorter run time, and it shows. We don’t get to sit and hold onto scenes like in BC. We don’t get to sit with Beth very long when she realzies Danny is missing from school. We don’t get the scene where Ellie bangs on her car and goes “SHIT SHIT SHIT” as a reaction to a stressful situation. When Alec is walking up to the body, realizing it’s a kid, we get the sense that this is serious, impactful, that this is something traumatizing to him. Contrast that to gracepoint where he just looks disturbed. Despite often using more simple camera angels and less shots, broadchurch comes off as more complex and interesting because the camera is focusing on what it should, and holds onto the reactions of the characters, which is vital for a show as character driven as it is. Also the color grading is a lot nicer.

And I think my biggest complaint is the ellie/hardy dynamic. First of all it’s very jarring to recast one lead actor but not their costar. AND WHY DOES TENNANT HAVE TO HAVE AN AMERICAN ACC-(gets shot) And I don’t think the person playing miller in GP is bad at all, she just doesn’t get the lines the BC Ellie does. And I don’t want her to perform it like Coleman; but Coleman was just so good that it’s either you copy it exactly or it just isn’t as good. Also Like..the entire coffee banter is missing first of all so how dare you. But also subtle like changes, and demeanor changes really make it miss the mark. Ellie miller is somewhat confrontational with Hardy, sarcastic, questioning and Alec is an asshole but he also serves that own energy back. And he answers her. The GP alec (or emmet I’m not calling him emmet carver or whatever tf) does that a bit, but he ignores her more, and his dick moments aren’t as enduring. I can’t recall any specific examples, but I suppose the core of it feels a lot more condescending in some instances. Also again Olivia and David are absolute gold together.

Then there are minor nitpicks. The setting is a lot nicer on the eyes in BC, and I personally much prefer the dialect and speech used in Britain (even tho I’m American lol I hate our slang) also, I mean David is great but he can’t act to his fullest because he is trying to keep the American accent. I dislike how his pills have turned into a needle/shot. I’m squeamish of needles, and also I think it was just an unnesicary added tension. And when Alec says miller all americany it’s not as fun as when he says MILLAH!

I’m sure there are things that gracepoint absolutely improved on, no doubt, but I’m too attached to the actors to continue with it in earnest. Also again broadchurch is just a lot prettier to look at and listen to.

So those are my thoughts. I don’t think anyone is probably gonna read this but if you did I’m sorry for all the broadchurch posting. This is one of the reasons I try not to watch things cause I can’t be normal about them.

2x2 if broadchurch wtf is wrong with these people like it’s so obvious 😭😭 omg I hate all the judges fuck them and their stupid little wigs

We lay on her bed and watched Broadchurch, while all around us our friends and floormates descended into chaos of their own creation and we, mercifully, did not have to care. Throughout the episode I tried very hard not to think about the fact that our legs were touching and that I could feel her arm next to mine and she tried very hard not to think about the boy next door and I tried very hard not to think about her thinking about him and there was something calm and bright and peaceful in the air, tinged yellow around the edges

Goodbye Or Not?

Summary: Remember the last episode of season 2 in Broachurch where Alec Hardy is leaving Broadchurch? He wants to say goodbye to you before he goes. But you have something to tell him.

(Okay I KNOW I look like a clown because I said I'm super busy but this idea came to my mind while I was studying like ten minutes ago and I had to write it and then I was like why not share. This is a tenth doctor blog but I adore Alec so I thought I'd post it here. I'll be back with the requests as soon as I can <3)

Alec Hardy x Reader

Gender not specified for the reader

Words: 528

You were standing in front of your best friend trying very hard to keep yourself from breaking down right there. Did he have any idea how bad you were going to miss him? How the thought that you wouldn’t be able to see him every day was killing you?

“Come here,” Alec said with the softest look you had ever seen on him. His arms were open and waiting for you.

It would hurt like hell that your first hug would be for goodbye, but you could not resist him.

You walked slowly towards him. He placed his one hand on your back and the other on the back of your head, bringing you impossibly close to him. He buried his fingers in your hair trying to comfort you.

Hiding your face in his neck you started crying and it didn’t take him many seconds to notice.

“Shh…It’s okay…It’s okay…” he whispered.

It’s okay, he always said to you when you were upset and you always believed him. But this time it wasn’t. And not even Alec’s reassurance was enough to calm you down.

He kissed your forehead and made you look at him by pulling away, but not enough to break your embrace.

“Alec?” you breathed out.

“Yeah?”

You closed your eyes and took a deep breath. You could do it. He had to know.

“I’m in love with you.”

You said it. You couldn’t believe that you had just said it.

He looked obviously stunned. He was blushing and even though you were heartbroken, it almost made you smile. Your lovely, shy Hardy…

You signaled him to stop with your hand before he had the chance to respond, and you pulled away from him further so you weren’t touching anymore.

“I’m not…,” you started talking again. “I didn’t say it as an attempt to convince you to stay. Or to make this harder for you. Or to make things weird. I promise. I just…I just wanted you to know.” You gave him a sweet smile and tears filled your eyes again. “Because I’m afraid that you don’t believe that you are loved. But you are, Alec. Not just by me... But even if it was just by me, you are so so loved… I love you.”

In a matter of seconds, he was close to you again, desperately trying to wipe the tears off your face. You had never been so close physically before but today you were all over each other. It only made you hurt more knowing now how it would be like to have him yours.

“Do you know what you’re doing to me right now?”

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean-”

His lips on yours stopped you from talking.

Your hands went to his wrists for support as his hands were around your neck. With your eyes shut, you melted into the kiss letting out a whimper.

“I love you,” he said against your lips, taking a breath and going back into the kiss.

After a few moments you rested your forehead against his.

“We’ll figure it out together, Y/N. I promise I’ll never leave you alone.”

You believed him.
