God I would love to have seen Lieutenant Jopson actually disagree and argue with Crozier, just once.

I'd love to have seen them have a proper argument once Jopson finally had the official authority to actually speak his mind a bit more.

I can't help but wonder if, perhaps unconsciously, Crozier promoted him in small part so as to have a lieutenant who would always agree and back him up in his decisions. But Jopson, of course, is a bright lad who knows his own mind, and nothing tantalises me more than the thought of that united front just not happening.

#This is not an anti-Crozier post just to be clear #I don't actually think he promoted Jopson with any of that in mind #But I do think that time and time again it's clear that often he doesn't know or understand people half as well as he thinks he does #On the one hand it's tragic and I pity him for it #But on the other hand those misjudgements of human nature have so much potential for biting him in the arse in amusing ways #Like 'Oh you thought I'd automatically agree with you on every point like I did before?'#'Well jokes on you bitch! I was literally your servant before and had no real choice but to!'#Jopson's clearly got that fight in him and I'd love to have seen it come out again in such a situation #The Terror #The Terror AMC #Thomas Jopson #Francis Crozier #In all seriousness I am fascinated by all the ways that promotion could irrevocably alter their relationship
