#Stating the bleeding obvious of course that Blanky is the bestest and most specialist lad in the world and always will be

[saints-who-never-existed]

You know who does get first-name privileges from Crozier in that scene though? Blankyyyyy!! <3

"Of all the hardships of Discovery Service, this may be the toughest, Thomas."

Right, back to my usual schedule of rewatching and thinking way too much about random shit.

Do you think it means anything, the slightly differing levels of formality with which Franklin and Crozier refer to each other in their first scenes?

-

I feel like Crozier is the more distant and formal of the two, even if only slightly:

"Tell Mr. Diggle Sir John and Commander Fitzjames are coming aboard to dine tonight."

Whereas Franklin is more casual in his use of first names:

"Let Francis know James and I will be joining him for dinner."

Could mean nothing I suppose. Just something I noticed just now.
