I have a spoilery icon I could use. I'm not going to.

I thought it ended a bit weirdly though. Sexby seemed like a different man when Angelica loved him back, but, from right off. I thought he coped remarkably well with love considering that he's a person who's apparently never had it. I was expecting a bit more emotional awkwardness, which didn't really happen. Also, I wasn't sure about Angelica loving him because she'd been Wrong and "a fool", rather than just seeing the BITS OF HIM THAT WERE GREAT. Probably she did that as well, I don't know. I like that he bitchslapped Christian before stabbing him. Also, they sort of patched over the bit where Sexby almost raped her last week, even if he did stop. That was a bit weird. But I like that they finally got together, and she loved him. That was pretty good.

There was no shot of her taking her wedding ring off her thumb and putting it on her ring finger. I wanted that quite badly.

This is a bit strange. I don't think I've ever been this invested in a canonical het pairing. Even in other John Simm things. It's quite nice though. Onscreen things! Things happening! It's a pleasant change from a lot of my pairings.

But come on though. Angelica loved him! He always seemed a lot more concerned with that than the Civil War or the struggle for freedom. Although I suppose he got into it because of her, in a way. And they kept up the fact that it was sort of Angelica/Sexby/Rainsborough. That was nice. I had a feeling he was going to die from episode two or three though. Actually I thought he would be executed and called a "devil", and Angelica, who finally loved him, would be known as The Devil's Whore, again, before she too was executed. So it's nice that she got to live. I just sort of HOPED that they would run away to another country and BECOME HIGHWAYMEN AGAIN, or something like that, and have a child, she did deserve to have a child after her first was stillborn, I think. But I wanted Sexby to have one too, and to not really believe it was real, and to love him or her, and to bring them up and love them and teach them swords. Anyway. That didn't happen. Oh Sexby. Sexby Sexby. At least Angelica got to live though. That was nice. She and little Elizabeth Sexby. Hurray.

I will admit that I love John Simm. Love him a lot.

Christmas is two weeks tomorrow. I'm not quite prepared for it.
