(My father reports that he wanted to hear John Shrapnel's entire lecture, not just the plot-relevant, suspenseful excerpts. I report that I went back for "Once Your Card Is Marked" before finishing the series and that's the second guest appearance I haven't seen David Buck survive; also I agree with you that it feels different from the rest of the series, almost like a second run at a pilot. My mother reports that she is sorry that there are only two seasons of it, which makes me want to request casefic for it so that I can pass it on to her.)
Ha, I wanted to hear more of the lecture too! I said it fully got away with having quite a lot of a lecture in it. John Shrapnel's generally good, though; he was also excellent in Elizabeth R, that I've seen. (He has a son who now acts and goes under the name of Lex Shrapnel which definitely sounds too fictional to be true, lol.)
And, aww, you can tell your mother that I agree there is too little of it! It's not even really two whole seasons even.

I stand here, happily validated! <3
Welcome! Pacific Rim is actually one of the *checks AO3* nine fandoms I have writen for, but I am sorry it was wearing on you.
Oh, only in passing, in the way that is when fandom has suddenly leapt onto some random thing that I can't access and probably wouldn't be able to watch and almost certainly wouldn't ship the correct slash ship, but it does mean that by the time the tide recedes and the thing becomes available, I'm... I should watch it! It's probably good! And then just: ... or nah. For no real reason. Maybe I'll snaffle it next time it comes round on TV and I'll know what a PR fusion means and can read your fic.
I remember! The dramatic march into the bedroom is excellent. I appreciate also how much of an absolute third wheel Stewart Granger looks in that last gif there.
He does try to suggest that he might get a say in who he marries, but they're not having it. He doesn't understand! XD
I've just also now rewatched The Wicked Lady and while the romances in that are a lot more convincing than poor old Stewart Granger above, now Patricia Roc is having her turn to enter Margaret Lockwood's bedroom dramatically. Twice. XD
All right, that's funny. I hope he had a splendid time twirling his mustache if he has one.
You may rest assure that he has a moustache, although it's a bit short for twirling, but he is doing his level best to Ruin Everything [TM] even if often nobody needs his help in that direction.
