i'm skipping through 1x03 and it's very interesting how they refer to rats twice and you'd think the first one is billy, but it's tozer instead, explaining sir john they use rats for bait. THEN you have billy saying he's not a rat. like on one side they establish that everyone knows there are a lot of rats on the ship so when billy asks what copulates on a ship we already know it's rats. on the other side? billy saying he was looking for the cat while irving discovered him with hickey? sir john saying the marines are putting fagin (ship's cat) out of work because they caught all the mice? and the very next scene is irving going to talk with hickey instead of punishing him (aka not catching him)? billy saying he's not a rat? rats taken from the hold, caught and tied up in lines? (called out in front of all the men, whipped for it or worse) book!hickey being constantly describe as a rat?
#i'm going insane i was trying to find the shots for a shitpost but nooooo it's all connected. every line of this show is a perfect metaphor#billy gibson#solomon tozer#irving is the cat#of all the people irving is the cat#john irving#the terror keeps delivering i'm at the idk how many rewatches i've done and yet there's always more to discover#insane behaviour from dk to write this#i'll add screenshots later. shitpost first. omg i just wanted to make a funny post now i'm pulling my hair out#and billy and tozer talking about the same thing at the same time?? but one is literal the other metaphor#your honour they're connected#the terror
