the treasure island psychological horror movie starring luke arnold and toby stephens and some kid that plays jim hawkins except the only times flint is on screen is when silver sees him out of the corner of his eye the same way rogers sees eleanor in 4x09
the way flint’s life is just a chain of arriving at a destination only to be met with disappointment and/or devastation. arriving in nassau for the first time still as a naval officer and finding that the plans he had for it are ruined because the governor’s family had been killed. coming back to the hamiltons’ house after being expelled from the navy only to find out thomas is already gone. arriving at division bay and the urca is not there. arriving back in nassau and finding vane’s in the fort. arriving in charlestown and loosing not only miranda and the plan to save nassau but also loosing himself as ‘mcgraw’. arriving back in nassau after the alliance with the slaves only to find the men had accepted the pardons. woodes rogers waiting for him and repeating thomas’ name time after time after time. arriving in nassau with his fleet only to lose two ships and silver. arriving at miranda’s house and seeing it desecrated by billy’s men. the one time this pattern is broken is when he arrives on the beach near the wrecks and finds silver alive. but then they meet with madi and the look on flint’s face as he watches her and silver kiss tells you everything you need to know. coming back to miranda’s house (again) and finding eleanor and madi dead. finding out madi’s alive and following rogers’ ship only to be betrayed by silver. arriving at skeleton island and. well.
something in the silverflint conversation in 3x10 that i always found sooo well done is how flint reacts to everything that’s being said. like technically we should be expecting the scene to be about silver’s reaction to flint’s confession (and it is about that ofc). but toby stephens put so much care into flint’s emotional state there. like. he confesses to silver. not knowing what his reaction will be. then there’s that moment when he’s like ‘you don’t have to say anything’ which to me personally hit so close to home (every coming out experience i’ve had being mostly about like. not trying to impose anything onto the other person or not being seen as overbearing or anything). and then silver goes on his crazy tangent and you can feel how weird it all is to flint. like he’s nervous and anxious and then a bit angry and hurt when silver says it’s kinda his fault all his lovers are dead lol. but then you see how that tension bleeds out of him bit by bit. as if he were telling himself ‘okay we’re jumping over this. we’re not dwelling on that. it’s okay. i don’t have to explain myself further. it’s over.’ when silver continues with his speech. and then he even starts to be a little amused by silver and cracks that joke at the end. cause at the end of the day silver says he has his friendship and there’s no judgment there. like idk how to properly articulate it but that moment feels so genuine for flint’s character so. yeah
