I...do a lot of shipping in the Hornblower movies. I ship Hornblower/Bush, certainly, and Hornblower/Pellew, but despite its dubiously canonical nature I also ship Horatio/Archie, and I'd certainly not turn down one-sided Hornblower/Jack Hammond, and it's been a while since I've seen The Wrong War so I can't remember if I ship Edrington/Hornblower or Edrington/Kennedy and then there's Orrock/Hammond and I'm sure I could be persuaded to ship Orrock/Hornblower too...I am too much of a multishipper, alas. ;)

I can't help but like Maria. She may not be a goof match for Horatio, but I tend to think that's as much because Horatio is sort of an idiot about interpersonal relaionships not good at life on shore as anything else. She's kindhearted and trying to make the best of her life, and she's trying to make things work with someone she knows will never really be hers, and...I feel so uncomfortable during all the family scenes, because it so obviously isn't going to work and I think Maria deserves better than to be a second thought. :(

I owe someone a Horatio/Bush picspam and someone else a Hornblower/Pirates comparison picspam, so I need to get capping once I'm not ded of schoolwork. I really should rent and rewatch the other DVDs...
