Lewis 803-804: The Lions of Nemea

[lamardeuse]

Okay, this one has fewer caps than the last one, but there are some serious WTH moments with regards to Hathaway and the way he relates to Robbie and Laura.

Thanks for theses too <3

Milk Foam: The Buttery, The Broad. Same place. Oh yes. Weird personal info - got soya latte there the monring of my sister's wedding, realised it was way too hot to drink, and we left with takeaways, and then this weird German marching brass band started up waking up this poor homeless lad curled up in his sleeping bag, looking scared to death. What he made of the woman with the purple hair in the purple dress handing hiom coffee from a purple wheelchair I'll never know. But hey, this is Oxford :)

Like you, I feel Fox had only be playing Hathaway in an unrequited love fashion. that little heartbroken face at the end. it's haunted me all week - along with the Doctor's face from the end of theat episode and a scary toy preschool dog toy from an Argos ad, so you can imagine, my dreams have been pretty weird, the 40 degree celcius temperature hasn't helped ;)

[lamardeuse]

Haha, of course you'd know for certain! :)

THAT FACE OMG. I can't come up with any other explanation.

[asparagusmama]

Expert on all the places to hang around waiting while drinking good coffee, me :)

Oh, Laurence is so shipping Hathaway himself, surely? Are his tweets piss takes, attention seeking for his music or genuine? Or possibly, all three?

I love screencaps! I can't wait to get my DVDs so I can rewatch various bits. Poor pining James.

Also randomly, did they fight about what pizza to order? There's a box for each of them. Or, I guess if they have lots of leftovers that's less chance of Robbie attempting to cook LOLOL ;)

[lamardeuse]

Haha, I hadn't noticed the 4 boxes, but you're right! Maybe they're REALLY hungry, or the pizzas are really small? :D

Isn't that Emilia Fox playing the classicist? It really *is* narcissism - I had this weird metadramatic moment wondering if the only reason they had a connection was because they were cousins, because there certainly wasn't a Watsonian justification for it.

That last scene was so lovely! Poor broody Hathaway.

[lamardeuse]

It isn't cousin Emilia, but there's a definite resemblance! :)

[skyebabycat]

Once again, you've nailed it with your commentary. Is there really any other way to read this than James pining for Robbie?

So many great caps to turn into icons, which I will post and share, thank you!

So happy you were inspired to do this and I'm looking forward to your final episode caps.

You actually made me squee today! Haven't done that in awhile, so thank you for that! :)

[lamardeuse]

I don't know - man, if I ever met LF, I would be so tempted to ask him wtf he was thinking. :D

Yay for squee! That makes me happy - thanks for letting me know! :)

[verdande_mi]

Thanks again for these and yes you totally should work James missing "the weight of Lewis' compassion and acceptance surrounding him like a warm blanket" into a fic!

[lamardeuse]

Thank you! It's like he retreats into himself without Lewis - they really do complete one another. :)
