"are you jidding me?"

"horatio, calm down. don't rock the boat."

[Songsmirth]

From the beginning he inspires people to stand for him.

[TheBratzAttack]

lol Archies face when he saw the Indifatigable

[lalakers1984]

i love how in the older programs officers called the lower orders "sir" it just sounds so cool to hear them call them sir

[GillsFan91]

YOU RESENT? Damn your impudence Sir.

Why can't people talk like that now :-)

[bethiemw]

@GillsFan91

I know not. But damn their impudence!! Hehehe. Actually, my friend quite frequently says, "Damn your insolence" to me. :D

The captain also played Cicero in "Empire", where he was considerably less emotional.

[mrgeorgeallison]

Shouldn't the description say Great Britain rather than England?

[drfoxcourt]

From the time of the Grand union of 1606 until after the coronation of Victoria, the two terms "Great Britain" and "England" were synonymous.

[mrgeorgeallison]

Actually no, the Kingdom of Great Britain came into existence in 1707. 1603 Was the union of the crowns under a Scottish monarch, not 1606. After 1707 it was Great Britain, England is used instead primarily out of ignorance. I've researched this since I asked.

[kurumais]

do the french have heroes like sharpe and horatio?

[Bramblefox]

I honestly don't know. The only French 'hero' I can think of is Jean Valjean, from Les Miserables, but he isn't military-related.

[garagepr0ductions]

Down with the frogs!! jk french also are cool

[Albukhshi]

@Bramblefox

Jean Roch Coignet; military hero, and napoleonic at that. and the cool part? he really did exist.

[Ceclyanne]

The 3 Musketeers and D'Artagnan, wonderful heroes.

[j0andc0]

kurumais

You have Edmond Dantes who was first mate on the merchant ship Le Pharaon in Alexandre Dumas Count of Monte Cristo.

Of course the most famous one from France is Victor Hugo's Quasimodo.

[mymagnoliatree]

The musketeers! They are used as the emblem of the Gers, where D'Artagnon came from.

[Antigan15th]

@kurumais: Every country has its own heroes. It's just that France loses so often that there are no typical heroes, who win countless battles, etc etc.

[MrTheodude]

@kurumais They're still in love with Napoleon

[TheArchguy1]

@kurumais they kinda have Napoleon or John of Arc.

[bozez1]

In the book nobody stands in for Horation he goes face to face with that guy. Unfortunate they changed it.

[Bramblefox]

Yup. I rather liked the book, but it's kind of hard to make that little chapter stretch out in an hour and a half movie...XD

[bozez1]

Your right. And I certainly appreciate the uploads. The book and tv series are awesome.

[Wonkapoo]

PELLEEEEW!!!!!!!!!

[Bramblefox]

[ChelseatheHolmesian]
