In retrospect, #StarBlazers / #SpaceBattleshipYamato2199 may be why I enjoy naval fiction (e.g. #MasterAndCommander #TheLostFleet) so much.

@Kirkman Joshua Corey, who blogs the Aubrey-Maturin Review, has a footnote in a separate post about "Bartleby the Scrivener" on Davies's devotion to Jack. Since Jack saved Davies from drowning, Jack providing for him is an "obscure justice", even if Davies could be a handful. https://joshuacorey.substack.com/p/bartleby-boys?utm_source=publication-search#footnote-anchor-1-148123935

This summer I completed another "circumnavigation" — a complete reading of all the Aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O’Brian — and I was struck by something about the character Awkward Davies that I hadn’t noticed in previous readings.

Morre merillä jatkuu.
Kustannustoimittajieni kehotuksesta katsoin myös elokuvan Master and Commander, eli se sama mikä perustuu O'Brienin kirjoihin.Yhteneväisyys kirjoihin oli todellakin ilmeinen – sitä samaa hiton sekoilua ilman mitään järjellistä juonta. Eri kirjoista tempaistu kohtauksia, jotka kytkettiin jonkinlaiseen päättömään takaa-ajoon.
Eniten hämmensi Aubreyn ja Maturinin ystävyyden vähä kuvaaminen. Se ei jotenkin ollenkaan välittynyt, ehkä vähän lopussa.
Näyttelijätyö oli sekin niin ja näin. Pääosien esittäjät eivät hääppöisiä. Blakeney, se lapsi, teki ehkä parhaan roolisuorituksen. Bongasimme myös Billy Boydin, joka on tutumpi roolistaan Pippininä (Taru sormusten herrasta).
Näyttävä elokuva kyllä oli, joten sikäli mulle hyödyllinen. Urhoollisesti @Turre kesti rinnallani tämänkin yli kaksituntisen, liikavenytetyn pläjäyksen.

@annathepiper Yes, definitely the world-building feels a part of lots of good Star Trek writing.
An older essay on Reactor covers this ground too: https://reactormag.com/not-a-moment-to-be-lost-patrick-obrians-aubrey-maturin-series/

The newly released 4K Ultra disc may be sold out / scalped, but the upgraded 4K Dolby Vision / Dolby Atmos streaming edition looks ands sounds great. Currently on sale as a $4.99 Apple TV purchase.

crapulous - I am learning so many useful new words from this book! #masterandcommander https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/81255

For the curious, the sailor is to be court-martialled and likely hanged. The goat will be slaughtered, cooked, and fed to the men who informed on the crime. (WTF?!) #masterandcommander
-
Page 109 - first incidence of the word “sodomy”… with regards to a goat. 😯 Life at sea was really something! #masterandcommander
-
It is very helpful that Stephen Maturin seems to know as little about sailing as I do, and he asks the midshipmen dumb questions like “Explain all the masts to me like I’m 5,” #masterandcommander

also love the 'novels that are meant to be re-read, not for the first time'
-
@electrafish Like the time O'Brian forgot Babbington's first name and had Fanny Harte call him Charles instead of William. Then he has Stephen call her out on it in a later book!

This prestige printing of Master and Commander is something I desperately want and at the same time would absolutely judge someone else for buying something so stupid. #aubreymaturin #masterandcommander #overpriced #books
