Poldark 1.07

On my 834th rewatch :D and I'm constantly irritated at this episode. In the book Ross is angry at Demelza over the Verity business but he lays the blame primarily on Francis BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT BELONGS! I can understand being pissed about Demelza getting involved considering what happened at Nampara, Francis and Blamey dueling etc., but the show portrays Demelza as the worst fuck up on earth. How is it her fault that Francis sucks? After that dressing down by Ross, girlfriend, pack your shit, grab your kid and go. And why tf didn't Verity say in her note hey, by the way, I sought out Captain Blamey and rekindled our relationship or SOMETHING to keep Demelza and Ross out of the line of fire? She must've known shit would hit the fan... ! I know, I know, water under the bridge. end rant.

My dear! Your husband’s ship, the Esmeralda. Yes? Captain Trevose has had word from the Admiralty. She put into port in Lisbon two days ago, weather-beaten but unharmed.

Alright, I’m gonna say it.

Where the FUCK is Verity?!

I’m praying she sails in before the end of the series, drags everyone who needs dragging, and then just saves the day. Politely. And with no shit taken.

Poldark spin offs we need now

The Secret Toymaker: As his young daughter, Ursula, grows into an odd and quiet girl, banker George Warleggan is desperate to forge a meaningful connection with her. He soon finds that while the child is not interested in conversation with her sad and awkward widower father, she is willing to play for hours on end with the toys in her well-stocked nursery. In an effort to please her and perhaps finally attract her attention, George himself begins to secretly build her some toys. Simple creations at first, over time his designs become more and more fantastical. Always delivered under a veil of secrecy, these mechanically complicated yet whimsically themed inventions are the only things that bring joy to the lonely little girl. Together--yet separately--George and Ursula build a quiet world of imagination and escape. George eventually takes his secret to the grave and the true identity of the inspired toymaker is never revealed to Ursula nor to anyone.

A Most Honourable Friend: Dr. Dwight Enys and his charming, sharp-witted wife, Caroline, move from Cornwall to London in the early 1800s. While Dwight is hard at work studying communicable diseases among the urban poor, his bored wife longs for intellectual stimulation of her own. At first it seems she can only pursue the usual occupations expected of a lady of her class--visiting friends, attending balls, playing cards with the neighbours. Then one tedious evening at the card table, she makes a new acquaintance--Arthur Kidston Elliot, a newly elected MP who lacks both confidence and original ideas. At first Caroline offers some clever advice to the dull and timid Elliot, but before long she is ghost writing speeches and even drafting proposed legislation for the young MP.  Elliot’s sudden political success is a surprise to all, especially his patron back in his home county, who had no idea Elliot was so inspired and forward thinking. But as Elliot’s parliamentary career rises meteorically, he becomes more and more desperate to keep Caroline’s role a secret. How far will Elliot go and will Caroline now find herself in unexpected danger?

Life’s Greatest Treasure: Series One follows Verity Blamey’s evolution from gentle housewife to murderous pirate queen. While her husband is away on the Lisbon Packet, Verity’s son, a privateer, has gone missing at sea. Unwilling to sit at home alone and wait for bad news--or no news at all--she decides she must act, and convinces a local tub carrier to take her as far as the Scilly Isles to begin her search. But when uninvited French rogues come aboard one night, killing the captain and attempting to commandeer the vessel, Verity finds herself successfully defending its cargo and the fearful crew. Amazed at her skill with a dagger and ashamed at their own cowardice, the crew--indebted to her for their very lives--now hail her as their leader. But with blood on her hands and illegal cargo in her hull, Verity and her gang are soon hunted by both the Cornish excise men and the French, who seek revenge for the death of one of their own. Soon Verity finds herself embroiled in the dangerous world of piracy, all the while continuing to search for her lost son.

The Flag of St. Piran: Series One follows the developing friendship of two young wives who unexpectedly find themselves solving crimes in early 19th century Cornwall. Broken hearted but not broken in mind nor spirit, Emma Tregirls & Jinny Martin Carter have each recently married local men for companionship and survival--not for love. Stoically they both face their often difficult and always tedious lives, determined to put lost dreams behind them. But after a young village girl is murdered, Jinny and Emma join together to track down the killer. And when it is clear the genteel magistrates have no interest sitting the case, the two resolve to deliver their own brand of justice. (The title comes from the white cross on a black background of the Cornwall flag, representing white tin flowing from the black rock, or good overcoming evil).

Poldark Modern AU/Game Night Headcanons

Caroline decides to start hosting a game night, and since she’s friends with both Ross and Demelza AND George and Elizabeth, they all get invited.

Dwight pulls both George and Ross aside separately, asking them if they’ll be able to be civil.

They both assure Dwight that they’re not children, of COURSE they’ll be civil.

They’re not.

George and Ross get unreasonably competitive regardless of what game they’re playing.

Demelza and Elizabeth share exasperated looks while their husbands are bickering.

George is great at Monopoly, and is incredibly smug about it.

Caroline always wins at Cluedo. No one knows how she does it.

Verity never gets competitive or angry about games, even games that are famous for causing fights like Monopoly, UNO, or Mario Kart.

Morwenna is amazing at any game that involves trivia (like Trivial Pursuit), and Drake always looks so proud when she proves how smart she is.

Ross once beat George in Mario Kart (Francis’ choice of game), which lead to George spending an embarrassing amount of time practicing until he could beat Ross.

One week, Demelza and Elizabeth decide that maybe bringing their children along will persuade their husbands to behave, but it seems to have the opposite effect. It makes Ross and George even more competitive, because now they need to prove to their kids that they’re the cooler dad.

(Feel free to add more if you’d like. I may do so later :D)
