not moving on from how louis so far surpassed the bare minimum of saving daniel's life? how he could've just let daniel walk away and call it a day but he sat him down and armed him not only against the past few days but the rest of daniel's damn life?? how daniel's had it horrible since, but in spite all his losses, he had something??? how he had the hope of being someone and mattering and he held on to it for 50 long years?? and it worked??? it helped him survive over and over and over???? a shit life is better than no life at all and daniel lived because louis chose to help him??!???

since camp toccoa, lipton's breaking point has always been easy being in danger due to an incompetent co.
in ep. 1, despite not liking sobel just like the rest of the company, he never outwardly showed or acted on it, and he never participated in gossiping about sobel or badmouthing him. for ex., in the train scene with liebgott, cobb, toye, popeye, and shifty, we can see lipton being a bit displeased and uneasy with the the men gossiping about sobel's inability to lead the company on the field, albeit subtly. instead of talking about sobel, he remains calm and composed for the men, being the one to calm them down, break any fights between them, look out for them, help them get back on track, lead them, etc. his breaking point is when sobel court martials winters because he knows how more dangerous it'll be to jump into europe with him as their co and without winters. so, he mutinies with the ncos but even then, he looks out for the men by reminding them about the risks and possible consequences of their actions.
we see this kind of character from lipton again in bastogne, where despite not liking dike, he never showed it or said anything bad about him. instead, he looked after the men, led them, reported to the officers about their state and condition, etc. he even discouraged the men from talking shit about dike because it won't do anyone any good, and he reasures them that they're going to be alright if they just stick to their training and follow orders. until he breaks a second time after hoobler, penkala, and skip pass away and bill, toye, smokey, and buck get pulled off the line, candidly expressing to winters his lack of confidence in dike's leadership. he breaks again when dike fails to pull through as a leader in the assault on foy, shouting at him, reprimanding him, and disrespecting his authority as the co of easy because his inability to lead and indecisiveness are putting the lives of the men, his brothers, in danger

I went over to Guarnere. He was sitting on the ground and his leg was badly mangled. He was holding his leg and it was jerking like that and he said "Lip, they got old Guarnere this time". He had been hit before but they really got him there.

in this episode Imogen:
Took off her circlet. You know, that one that finally gave her peace and quiet, that soothed her constant pain and anxiety, and that gave her the confidence and energy to get back to fully feeling comfortable on her own skin after years. That’s the one. She just took it off.
Told laudna that she was disgusted by the fact that delilah was always watching them. You know, something that laudna fully has no control over whatsoever.
Admitted that she felt like she’s “tainted” and that the gods have been ignoring her for her entire life, in spite of her trying over and over to reach them. So she doesn’t really want to save them.
Mentioned being genuinely scared of meeting Liliana again. Totally not a problem, I’m sure nothing bad will happen there. Specially not in the next couple of episodes.
Said some unfair stuff to fearne, that I genuinely think is coming from somewhere else entirely, and I hope we circle back to eventually.
It’s safe to say that I am officially ✨worried✨ about the farmgirl

It is 2024 and I am here having feelings about Gilbert Norrell seated across from Jonathan Strange, his tea going cold before the fire, as tears form in his eyes and he pleads with Jonathan to not leave his side and thus make him bereft of the magical companionship that he never knew that he so desperately craved until the very moment that he found himself on the precipice of losing it (potentially) forever:
"There will be noone to talk to. We will be quite alone".
🔪💔
It is too good, the peak of cinema 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
