HORNBLOWER-7-Loyalty Part7

[ahenmaxtae]

behehe styles got attacked boob-first

[AgentM062509]

ummm...idk if those guys could really defeat 4 to 6 French republic soldiers with muskets, with pistols lol

[uclmu2008]

Ok, so I wish they had chosen actual French people to play the French, not English actors with phony French accents, who don't know how to pronounce one French word correctly. Clearly this wasn't filmed for anyone outside the English speaking world. That said: awsome episode nonetheless! Thanks for posting!

[NobleKorhedron]

@uclmu2008: Frankly, I have heard French people speak like the French Major.

[DiVeronica]

lol matthews stabs that guy in the belly and he dies instantly.... yeah okay

[LordWellington15]

@DiVeronica What more do you want. Mathews to slice his head in two?

[DiVeronica]

@LordWellington15 I was pointing out that in this series people die instantly from wounds that would perhaps not kill at all, unless by infection a week later. If Matthews sliced someone's head in two I still might expect atleast a little twitch action

[sokapex1]

didn't horn blower speak french in an earlier episode?

[markmason1000]

He is a tyrant? Before Hornblower opens his mouth he should look at his own bloody fat tyrant of a king

[LordWellington15]

@markmason1000 You obviously know nothing of history or politics.

[markmason1000]

@LordWellington15 King George III was a tyrant just like every royal before him and his son was a fat imbacile

[LordWellington15]

@markmason1000 Tell me again how he was a tyrant, or any different from the current President of the US?

[markmason1000]

@LordWellington15 anyone that thinks they have a divine right to lead is a tyrant, and unlike kings our president's are elected and have to answer to the American people. They have very limited power and swear an oath to uphold and defend the constitution. Congress and the Senate can overule any laws he tries to suggest if they feel its not in the public interest.

[LordWellington15]

@markmason1000 Boy, its like talking to a university student, who has just come out of the Left-Wing polling station. You obviously do not know anything about politics or history, or you would know that the British have a constitutional monarchy, lead by the Crown and by Parliament. Come talk to me when you learn a little bit more about how things are run okay?

[markmason1000]

@LordWellington15 IvA monarchy's a monarchy no matter what you try to dress it up as

[robbyxc]

@markmason1000 Your an idiot...the only people your president answers to is the corrupt corporate businesses thats runs America....if you dont understand that you have no grasp what so ever on politics at all.

[markmason1000]

@robbyxc I think your confusing who the president answers to to who congress answers to

[NobleKorhedron]

@robbyxc: I have to agree with this I'm afraid..... :-(

[TheBaconEggAndCheese]

In which episode does HH go underwater to fix the hull of the boat?

[Songsmirth]

The boy should have never been brought. Every time he's been given a task, he's failed it especially in battle. Now, men's lives depends on him and all he can think of is his own fear. Horatio gave him once chance too many as did Mathews. Mathew finally found out the boy lied and should have told Bush. It cost lives too and now the boy knows he can lie and real men will back him. That is the saddest part. He's been rewarded for dishonesty and will do it again. Kids learn quickly.

[lukaduke]

God. Save. Ireland.

[rmas32]

Check me if I;m wrong, but wasn't lobster considered peasant food back then?

[stringerboi]

they sure knew how to eat then

[tyrannusBE]

Danger of falling to a common trope well averted here. The "you're going to die anyway so I may as well tell you our biggest secrets" one. For a moment I actually thought Wolfe was going to do just that. Well averted indeed.

[Mattthornz]

"And when we're done bread and lobster will be dining on admiral Pellew"

Whaaaaat? I can understand the Lobsters...but bread? Bread will be dining on someone? monster yeast?

[ShawDAMAN]

@Mattthornz actually he said "BRETON lobster." It's a particularly flavorful species of lobster.

He meant that when the french and irish were done, (he thought,) admiral pellew would be defeated, his ships would be sunk, so he'd be at the bottom of the sea; hence, lobsters could 'dine on him.'

[TaggerSince03SK]

a lobster for his officer, lol

[CarolinasPGApro]

3:31......a look that says "MERDE!!!"

[CutyBecky]

André has an english accent and I cannot understand what he wants to say in french. "J'amène un ??? pour votre commandant."

People thinking Napoleon was a tyrant are filled by the propaganda of the English press which apparently did well its work.

After his death, Napoleon was a great man for the British, there were even plays in his honor.

At the new of its death, a frenchman found that there was more emotion in London than in Paris.

Sorry for my english.

[FlippinBooks]

Styles is such a great guy. He took a flogging for something he didn't even do, and he doesn't hold it against Hornblower at all. Now THAT'S loyalty.

[alabarloplop]

imagine what this would look like with a holywood buget

[ColScots726]

lmao 1:40

[chapsticklolz]

AHHHHH BOOBIES!!!!! hehe classic shot!

[tyrannusBE]

"When Admiral Pellew is done you won't be dining on bread and lobster." "When we're done, bread and lobster will be dining on Admiral Pellew." Oooooh.

[crudbts1]

@tyrannusBE It's not "...bread and lobster...", it's "...Breton lobster..."

[crudbts1]

@tyrannusBE It's not "...bread and lobster...", it's "...Breton lobster..."

[XxGREATxBRITAINxX]

[VicreoCZ]

The Hornblower has really good luck on trustable and reliable people, hasn't he? :)

[mabhekaphansi]

Stunning viewed in High Quality ... the stereo effects are wonderful!

[TeutonicWulfKnight]

Is wolfe the same actor, that is Erastus Fulmen in HBO- Rome??

[chopinandliszt]

Napoleon was a tyrant only to the countries he conquered. (Not to France, Poland (Duchy of Warsaw) )

[mabhekaphansi]

Napoleon was also admired here in South Africa during our own fight against foreign tyranny.

[Unit403]

why is it,that in almost every video,you post something about the war in your country?

I could nag about the belgian civil war,but i don't.

[mabhekaphansi]

Why do you not "nag" about the Belgian civil war? It would add richness and depth to these comments. I mention our own war against tyranny on these pages is because it is very recent (I was involved), and many of the events portrayed have direct bearing on British and European colonial activities in South Africa.

I find many of the comments on these pages enlightening and stimulating, and it is interesting to read contrasting views.

[Unit403]

Sorry mate,if i offended you.

but i was a bit pissed of because of some irl shit =)

It is nice to see someone use his brain and good manners for a change.

Not that a lot of people who respond on these videos don't use theirs.But there's a lot wrong in the world today.

En Afrikaans is een leuke taal,die een beetje op het Nederlands lijkt :P.

[mabhekaphansi]

LOL, not offended, more surprised. Your comment has lead me to read-up on the Belgian Civil War; I hadn't realised that there had been one. I have learned something new!! ... and that pleases me. Except that the historians choose to call it the Belgian Revolution ... sounds more polite, I suppose.

[CapiTen10]

well polish hated napoleon and his false lies, its even in their national anthem to this day, france ended up putting him in prison, and he was considerd a revolutionist tyrant in britain where the majority supported the monarchy

[chopinandliszt]

France never ended up putting Napoleon in prison. She welcomed Napoleon back from Elba, while the Loyalists, other European powers called him the "monster", "corsian ogre". The Polish never hated Napoleon. When the French entered the Polish territory, the French were hailed as liberators. Napoleon created the Duchy of Warsaw.

Worry about your own "false lies". May I remind you how brutally tyrannic the British were in her oversees colonies? Ask the Irish, for example.

[mabhekaphansi]

Well said!

To us, the Irish Republicans are heroes.

[bobslay12]

@mabhekaphansi

yeah more like terrorists, murderers and traitors freedom.

[mabhekaphansi]

@bobslay12 Oh well, it depends on where one stands vis a vis "the troubles".

[bobslay12]

@mabhekaphansi

The troubles are over and o is the famine!

[mabhekaphansi]

Long time over.

Who was it that said, "The evil that men do lives after them..."

[smellincoffee]

@mabhekaphansi It's from Shakespeare, the play Julius Caesar....Marc Anthony says that the evil men do lives after them, while the good is often interred with their bones. ("So let it be with Caesar.")

[mabhekaphansi]

@smellincoffee Bravo! Yulius Kaiser it was from!

[MrLillico]

The British made good colonies. Australia, New Zealand, Canada are all examples of colonies that turned into good democratic first world countries. No other countries colonies resulted in good countries. Take south America for example. All of the governments are corrupt. Good job Spain and Portugal.

[theWall0719]

@MrLillico Yeah, and it would pay off. The amount of trade they now receive from their former colonies, not to mention w/o Canada and the US WW1 and 2 would have been lost.

[lestat1591]

i agree mr.Lillico if it wasnt for Britain then the US australia,new zealand and canada would probably be a 3rd world country having non stop civil wars

[chopinandliszt]

Edouard Driault, the great historian of the Napoleonic period, used to say that Poland `is more Napoleonic than France'. Although this remark may seem to be exaggerated, the durability and the strength of the legend of Napoleon in Poland cannot be doubted. The Poles are the only people in the world to sing about Bonaparte in their national anthem.

[Songsmirth]

@chopinandliszt N was a tyrant to his own men. He took 50,000 to Egypt and was ill prepared for any of it. He didn't know the culture and kept loosing men until he was down to 5,000.They got back to the coast and he and his close friends snuck aboard a ship, got past the British and landed in France. Left his starving/thirsty troops for the British to save. They felt sorry for them. Meanwhile, no one in France had heard so he went back to Paris and asked for more men/$! Egomanical monster.

[vincentpol]

Somehow these night scenes make me wonder if they just shot during the day and used a filter.

[vorbeigehende]

Pellew joined the Royal Navy at 13 and quickly showed promise during the American War of Independence, earning promotions through his bravery and leadership.

In 1793, he was captain of the Nymphe and during the early stages of the Revolutionary Wars seized the first French frigate of the struggle. He was knighted after his capture of the Cleopatre.

[vorbeigehende]

One of his most courageous exploit came in 1796 and was not a naval action, but a rescue mission. It came near Plymouth when Pellew and his men bravely risked themselves to save the crew and passengers of the Dutton, a transport that had run aground in a fierce storm. In recognition for his herosim he was rewarded with a baronetcy.

[vorbeigehende]

Pellew's next command was the frigate Indefatigeable and against the French ship of the line Droits de l'Homme he showed his skills as a fighting captain. in 1797 Pellew's 44-gunner took on the much larger 74-gun warship and destroyed it.

[CancerousAids]

A lucky shot must have hit the magazine.........or a lot of lucky shots.

[vorbeigehende]

His success and personal style made him a popular commander and in 1802 he became an MP.

Two years later he was made a rear-admiral and while naval chief in the East Indies he destroyed Dutch naval power in the area.

From 1808 he was closer to home and in charge of first the North Sea, then Mediterranean fleets and was promoted to admiral in 1814.

His final campaign included the famous attack on Algiers after its ruler refused to free Christians held as slaves in his lands.

[HakunaMatata27]

'final'? - did he retire after that or was he killed?

Thanks for your info!!

[vorbeigehende]

In 1814, he was made Baron Exmouth of Canonteign. He led an Anglo-Dutch fleet against the Barbary states and was victor of the Bombardment of Algiers in 1816 and secured the release of the 1,000 Christian slaves in the city. For this action he was created 1st Viscount Exmouth on 10 December 1816. Following his return to England he became Port Admiral at Plymouth from 1817 to 1820, when he effectively retired from active service.

[vorbeigehende]

He bought Bitton House in Teignmouth in 1812 and it was his home until his death in 1833. The museum in Teignmouth has a comprehensive collection of artefacts which belonged to him.

[ohno00078]

LOL 'tell him we have a lobster for his officer or something'

[SSgruppenfuhrer]

a question guys ¿the admiral pellew is still at command of the indy? i really love that ship

[HammerJohnM]

No. An admiral would not be in command of a frigate. He wouldn't be in command of an individual ship at all, except in extremis. His flag would be on a ship of the line.

[nooo8oooo]

the indy might be in his fleet, but i doubt it

[whiteNshine]

he would be in command of a couple of ships,

[whiteNshine]

most probably he was on hammond's ship.

[freddie249]

Can i just point out that those rockets were notoriously innacurate, and literally wouldnt hit a barn door...

However, some good action :)

[clanmacduff660]

@freddie249 could that be called the "rockets blue(red) glare"? LOL

[Sturmmann]

@freddie249

definantly

if you see R Lee Ermey's Lock and Load show on Rockets....

you wont be more disappointed about those primitive rockets

[kirkman667]

@freddie249 My thoughts exactly.

[MajBlood]

@freddie249 Congreve Rockets were awesome, suck it. You just had to shoot them at mass columns which would be devastating.

[Songsmirth]

@MajBlood You have some good thoughts but I'm tired of the, "suck it, dick, fat bitch, etc" language. If you want to be taken seriously, by adults, I would advise you drop it. Your choice of course. I notice it's usually boys who think it a mature thing to swear and in here they can get away with it. A person is respected/disrespeced in here by their language because that's all we have to go on. Usually, I note who it is, block them and ignore any posts. Just saying. Songs

[MajBlood]

Why did that fat bitch fall asleep when she jumped on styles.

[ThisIsOurHouseCoach]

@MajBlood she hit her head on a rock

[MajBlood]

Wolfe? You're yanking my dick.

[Vutxzzn2]

@freddie249 every billion years you get a lucky shot

[urquhart2001]

That poor French woman. They blew up her house. Bad day.

[PsychoCheese1337]

Bloody Frogs.

[urquhart2001]

Heh. But she can't help being a Frog. Born that way. Had a nice cushy life in the lighthouse. Bread, cheese, wine, snails ... Then some guys come along and shoot rockets into it.

[canuck0425]

bahahaha yeah... rotten luck

[TheCurtainCall]

i agree

[1V4Victory1]

england may have been a bad neighbour but bonaparte was a bully...

[sirius711]

Sharpes Sword!!!

El Mirador, am I right? =P

Jesus but I need a life!

[1V4Victory1]

yep =D

[TroupeDeMarine]

Vive L'Empereur!! Et Vive la France!

[TroupeDeMarine]

But cool! C'mon...

[Defuret]

They make the Irish look all evil in this but to be honest, I fully sympathise with Wolfe since the English were quite brutal in Ireland and if I were him I'd side with the French too.

[WishesNeverComeTrue]

Why did everyone see Bonapart as a tyran? Hes a hero, from my view.. looks like part 8 isn't uploaded yet, well hopfully it will come sooner or later. episode 8 is there, thats always something I guess

[stokie1999999]

he aint a hero he was just like hittler,he wanted the world

[WishesNeverComeTrue]

He wanted to save this world from rotting like it is now. The world is slowly running out of resources and countries declaring war on each other just for oil and raw material.. The englishmen made bonaparte a tyran, he was a strategist and should be honored..

[stokie1999999]

well in our eyes the british people,he wanted to take us out and the brits stoped him for the countrys sake.BRITAIN SHELL NEVER BE SLAVES.

[AnUndeadMonkey]

Like many historical figures, he's seen in different lights by different people. Take both perspectives to get a more balanced view of him.

[stokie1999999]

i bet it was a yank who put a -1 on me

[tumadoireacht]

shame about the literacy though

[Defuret]

News for ya: so did the English.

[ppitm]

One man with the power of an empire, an empire that went against the grain of everything before it. That's a tyrant. He can be a hero at the same time.

[DomWeasel]

As something of an irony, Napoleon dreamed of a united Europe, of Europeans and a Eurpean empire... Now we have the EU...

We British opposed Napoleon because we had the dream of a British Empire. Ultimately, there would be no empire for anyone...

[MrMostevilgenius]

@DomWeasel

Quite so. Personally, I am in favor of European unity, but neither by force or pressure as is from Brussels. Somehow these twats don't seem to understand equality amongst nations is a different matter than being equal.

ah well, nothing a bit of revolution won't cure :)

[Osealey]

wheres part 8?

[WishesNeverComeTrue]
