Saturday Movie Night: The Third Sam (1962/1999)

Stanley Holloway narrates this comical tale of Sam Smith - an old steam man who readily takes to the new world of electric traction. One day, something goes wrong, and with the nearest station miles away, Sam is forced to sort the problem out on his own. Like most people, so we are told, Sam has two or three sides to his character: First Sam just doesn't give a damn; Second Sam gives too much of a damn; but what about Third Sam...?

As a bonus, I've included the unofficial privatisation-era remake, made for South West Trains in 1999, and with the storytelling reins now being held by the late great Bernard Cribbins:

my favourite thing about tmagp so far is the little dedications at the beginning bc it's funny to hear jonny sims' spooky voice say shit like 'this episode is dedicated to Gina McSweetie, I wuv u babykins ur my little gumdrop darling enjoy this very brutal horror story 💗' my second favourite thing is that one of the primary antagonists is mr blobby fucking apparently.

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: 1. Waist up of Dean, Cas, and Sam standing on a mottled cream background. Dean is in profile, Cas standing close enough to him that their shoulders touch. With a resigned and exasperated expression, Sam chops both hands in the air firmly and says, in the form of a screenshot from Reddit, "ESH. You're both just enabling each other's mental illnesses. You're both perfect for each other. Never change. Just never involve anybody else in what you've got going on." Cas squints at Sam confusedly from the corner of his eye. Dean blushes nervously and looks away, mouth screwed up in embarrassment.

2. Knees up of Cas sitting on the edge of Dean's bed in the bunker, hair mussed and wearing only plan white boxers. His hands are braced on the edge of the mattress as if making to stand up. Behind him on the other side of the bed, a bare chested Dean sits up and stops him with a hand on his shoulder, eyes large and pleading. He says, in the form of a screenshot of a tweet by user 'filledwithurine', "when i said bro and dude during sex i was trying to be romantic please don't go". /end ID

doing questionable things like rewatching a bard’s lament for “fun” and scanlan and vex you will always be famous. the fact that scanlan brings up that they’ve travelled across planes to fix vex’s daddy issues but then it’s vex’s daddy issues that ground her rebuttal to scanlan when she tells him to stop treating kaylie like an object. and god. vex’s “fuck him! fuck him for not saying anything sooner. and fuck us for not asking.” in the immediate aftermath, and then once she has time to put her walls back up, vex’s “my take-away from scanlan is that we all talk too much.”

the fact that vex was the one who made that comment that without his magic scanlan is just some guy but he’s also the some guy that vex spends the campaign looking up to (even if she does it through barbs and snark), the fact that when vex was fighting against saundor hearing things like “unproven ally” scanlan was all jokes until he realized how much vex believed what was being said to her. the fact that when scanlan comes back, it’s vex who literally sees through his disguise.

what do you mean scanlan was a deadbeat father who discovered a daughter that he did love but loved only as an object until vex called him out on it? what do you mean vex was a woman who struggled to forgive in part due to her crapshoot father and she was the first to forgive scanlan when he came back?

vex and scanlan also have such interesting interactions in terms of the balance of snark, silliness, and sincerity. it’s not uncommon from any characters of sam or laura’s since they are both silly little guys who also love drama and roasting each other especially when it comes to character rp, but as always it’s so dynamic when it’s the two of them bouncing off each other, especially when they’re doing so through scanlan and vex who are already bitchy characters (affectionate) with humour as a deflection method. but it’s a silly and deeply sincere moment when vex finally puts the witch hat scanlan gave her back on with his promise that he won’t run away from the final battle. it is one of my favourite laughable moments in c1 but it also reeks of sincerity when scanlan asks vex if she prefers planetar scanlan or normal scanlan and vex tells him he is fucking hot as a planetar, but she loves him like he was and he’s her favourite when he’s just himself.

like. they’re insane do you understand. the dawnfather asks vex to prove herself and scanlan turns her into a dragon to help her succeed, pelor asks vox machina what vex means to them and scanlan says she’s greedy and mean and the most perfect of them all. the knowing mistress asks scanlan to prove himself and vex escorts him on a broom he unlocked for her and then she picks an impossible lock for him, ioun tries to remind scanlan that his strength is the joy he provides to his friends and he makes a deflective quip that he’s really powerful and vex undercuts his deflection with a sincere assertion that he is. scanlan cast his last wish spell letting her see her brother on her wedding day. vex sent herself across the continent alone with her worry and grief while scanlan’s corpse lay awaiting resurrection to ensure that his daughter could be there to either bring him back or say goodbye.

they are the platonic chosen soulmates of all time to me. i make a post like this like once a year minimum and it’s because they Haunt me. both sam and laura said what if we made high charisma characters using their charisma as a shield and humour as a weapon and they saw through each other’s masks but they never explicitly talked about it to one another. good riddance to talks machina but i will never forget the episode post bard’s lament with laura and sam where sam revealed that vex was the only one who said anything that actually got through to scanlan and another episode where laura revealed that the reason vex was so angry and sad when scanlan left was that vex felt like her and scanlan had a unique bond where they were the only two who really saw one another’s masks for what they were. also laura providing the insight that while vex was actively working on being more forgiving, another reason she was so open and happy with scanlan when he came back was that vex didn’t want to scare him away again.

what am i supposed to do with all that? be normal about scanlan and vex? literally impossible
