HE LOVES JOHN, BUT NOT PHYSICALLY

[@Godblesslaci]

😂😂😂😂😭😭😭

[@trulyquintessential5842]

David Berry owned this scene..Lord John is a boss..one of the best characters in this show

[@michelleflood8220]

Natalie Quintal yep love my fellow Aussie in this scene if you're wondering how he can nail the English accent so precisely it's because as a commonwealth country the English were our first settlers after them came the Irish and the Scots in fact when listing ancestry on our censuses these three are actually the top three most commonly listed I always put Irish on mine ! But also have some Ulster Scots way back in my O'Brien three and four times great grandmothers !

[@robinbutler4515]

Natalie Quintal you’re so right, he owned it! I recently started watching Outlander and I watched that scene several times. I couldn’t get enough of Lord John. That’s a person that could put you in your place and leave you there! 😀

[@emilybilyj2221]

also in the books, he becomes Jamie and Claire's closet friend and ally.

[@diannebdee]

I felt the burn even watching this scene. Loved David so much in all his Outlander work. What a talent he is. What he does here and what is to come he'll have a fan in me.

[@jessehutchison39]

"I'm afraid the army takes a somewhat more... traditional stance in these matters, preferring to grant the title of command only when it has been... earned." BURNED

[@jec1ny]

While a great scene and line, from a historical POV it was laughable. Officers in the British Army back then bought their commissions. Each rank had to be purchased and promotion was based solely on two considerations. When a vacancy in the regimental officer's mess opened it was filled on the basis of seniority and the ability to pay for the new rank. Thus if a captain retired, died or simply decided to sell his commission, the lieutenants would be given the opportunity to buy the rank starting with the most senior. If he didn't have the money the next most senior would be given the chance and so on. If no lieutenant in the regiment wanted or could afford the captaincy than the commission would be sold by an agent of the War Office. Legally the price of commissions was fixed but unofficially commissions in prestigious regiments often commanded an under the table "premium" paid quietly to the seller or agent handling the purchase. The Navy by contrast never sold its commissions. Naval officers had to earn every promotion and were generally expected to go to sea at an early age (12-14 years old was the norm) and learn their profession the hard way as midshipmen. They had to pass a rigorous board exam to receive the lieutenant's commission and every promotion beyond that was at the discretion of the senior flag officer on station up to the rank of Post Captain. The lucky few who attained that rank would thereafter be promoted on the basis of seniority. But flag rank did not guarantee a command which was solely at the discretion of the Lords of the Admiralty. The army did in fact sneer at the navy back then. But it was because the navy accepted sons of middle class families and even tradesmen as midshipmen whereas the army rarely allowed anyone not born a "gentleman" into its officers corps. For the army, the most important qualifier when considering an application to buy an entry level commission was "who is your father and what kind of family do you come from?" Second and third sons of aristocrats generally got to the head of the line. Rarely was anyone below the ranks of the landed gentry allowed to purchase a commission. In the navy sons of ordinary families, and in rare cases even ordinary sailors who demonstrated exceptional skill as seamen, could attain an officers commission and rise as far as their talent and luck would take them.

[@agentj3942]

Wig off

[@georgeprchal3924]

Except the Navy makes them earn their rank, no exceptions even for dukes, princes, or kings.

[@cputrbug]

Lord John schooled that child HARD. That was fantastic!

cputrbug Hamstrung his goddamn self-esteem with that lieutenant/captain "mistake", and then went in for the kill 😂

[@LeopardGeckoFry]

Dude has the ability to be completely compassionate, and at the flip of a switch be a total boss.

[@lindsay4410]

My fave thing about this scene is what a powerful force Leonard seemed at sea. He was holding all the cards and was in charge of everything - soldiers at his back, crew at his command... Now, in front of an even more powerful force, he seems so small and so weak. And ironically Lord John doesn't need to be flanked by soldiers at all time to be strong - he just IS. Love it. :D

[@mdeborah827]

It's also an issue of aristocratic rank that still holds sway today. Leonard would have h8ll to pay if he crossed a Lord. It can stilp hold true today.

[@agentj3942]

That’s power. That’s real power.

[@LordBeauchamp1994]

@@mdeborah827 he's not really a Lord he's the younger son of a Duke in the series his older brother Lord Melton was heir so he held by courtesy the title Earl of Melton then succeeded to Duke of Pardloe when their father died. All younger sons of Dukes and Marquesses are styled Lord first name last name hence Lord John Grey. But John isn't using his aristocratic power he's using his governor power and requiring the legal route which the naval captain foolishly didn't have

[@MeyaRoseGirl]

Leonard is an over-ambitious child. Lord John was also an over-ambitious child during the Rising when he first met Jamie and foolishly tried to assassinate him, but he still had more courage, valor, and honor on that day than Leonard has on his best day. Lord John is no child in this scene. This is why Jamie knew he could trust Lord John to raise William when he could not do it himself.

[@m_li_ma]

After this he becomes nothing John absolutely killed him lmao

[@lizannfortune5098]

John love for Jamie is like Jamie love for Claire. Constant

Mic. Drop. Favorite scene of the whole finale.

[@saddleridge4364]

This is one of my all time favorite scenes, Lord John nailed it all the way through, point by point, in a completely calm voice. Knowledge is indeed power, Lord John knew all the exact laws and actually educated that captain of same.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Yes and the Lt comments over and over were a subtle message that with a mere letter to his seniors from Lord John he could lose rank.

[@misschanner7262]

Lord John had to defend his baby daddy 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheSniquec]

This comment!!!!!!😄

[@AnaCeciFrutos]

Awww... he is the best!!!... he deserved a kiss at least

[@Gaia_Seraphina]

He got a kiss from Jamie ... unfortunately just in the book! And he also got a tight hug another time, which made Claire pretty jealous ( she just saw the aroused look on Johns face ... this is how she found out, that John's gay and in love with her husband). *lol* The tv series is too reluctant to show gay love ... but not reluctant at all to show gay sexual violence? Hm.

[@shop-a-holic3194]

Sally Vee No it isn't really homophobia... It is an turn off. Most woman like man that are in too them, or at least like to believe it.

[@bicarbonat1]

@@shop-a-holic3194 It actually is. I don't think that your statement helped your argument at all. Jamie kissing John is no worse than Jamie having sex with William's mother (it's actually a lot milder) - in both cases, his love and attraction for Claire does not diminish or disappear. So if women are self-inserting, imagining themselves in Claire's place, there should be no problem - because Jamie has always been "into" her, and always will be. So it isn't about "a man" being "into" a woman - what those people want is for a man to never be willingly intimate with another man, even if he's already in love with the woman. So even the appearance of bisexuality is considered repellent - why? Because of "attraction to men" (which is no more a threat to true love than "attraction to women"). So yeah, I'd say there might be a fair bit of homophobia or biphobia under the surface.

[@tessacarstairs5998]

@@bicarbonat1 I agree; definitely biphobia and bi-erasure there :/

[@RojaJaneman]

@@bicarbonat1 I think the moment Jamie offered himself to LJG, it was understood that he himself is all for it. And if that was accepted just fine, a kiss would’ve been a nothing burger.

No No no loved him from the episode till now. Having withdrawal love symptoms like I'm busy on KZbin searching his tributes😭😭💔

[@databloom70]

Fantastic scene. They choose wisely in Berry. If there's any chance of a Outlander spin-off series focusing exclusively on the LJG story-line David is the guy to play him. Would be a simple thing since Diana Gabaldon already has many stand-alone stories written about him.

[@michelleflood8220]

databloom70 well David has said if it did get the go ahead he’s all in so there you go and seeing Jamie appears in at least one or two of the lord John series most notably the Scottish prisoner there would be possible crossover episodes for Sam to appear let’s hope it does go ahead if enough people are keen they might just do it !

[@donnaspear8494]

I'm keen! I would love to see the Scottish Prisoner! And The Private Matter! She's not too old; she can always write more.

Lord John has to sing German lieder later in the books to alert Dottie to his being a prisoner in rebel hands. If they ever get that far.....David Berry singing German Lieder WOW!!!!

[@ericofthewest24]

I love this scene not only for how cunning and intelligent Lord Grey is in matters of civic law and justice, but also how well this dialogue emphasizes the power rivalry between the army and navy at the time. Especially considering how often military ranks and titles were granted to men of family connection rather than merit.

[@cathywilde2756]

Diana Gabaldon did her research

[@deanfirnatine7814]

And how easily they could be stripped of that rank by a negative word from a high level aristocrat like Lord John Gray, John's subtle or not so subtle remarks about Lt was a reminder to the young man how quickly he could lose that coveted rank of Captain.

[@virgoqueen8950]

I CAN WATCH THIS SCENE A THOUSAND TIMES ...........DAVID BERRY WAS EXCELLENT IN THIS SCENE AS HE WAS ALSO IN BLOOD OF MY BLOOD WHEN HIM AND CAITROINA WERE GOING AT IT WHEN HE WAS SICK. THEY MADE AN EXCELLENT CHOICE PICKING DAVID BERRY FOR THIS CHARACTER

[@rumbapassion]

That put him in his place, lol. God I love Lord John Grey!

[@lieselmeminger1002]

Favourite scene ever! Love how LJG kicks lieutenant (sorry, Captain) Leonard in his ass! "However, your authority ends at the waters edge, which is precisely where my authority begins!" 😍😂 also love how Jamie just sits there and watches like it has nothing to do with him

[@karenguittar8416]

I have to SLIGHTLY disagree... David Berry played this scene to perfection, but Sam's reactions as Jamie was the cherry on top of this delicious and beautiful cake. There is a point where he appears to start to speak, but stops himself, and his reaction when LJG points out the authority line is DEAD ON. They add that extra touch, and I imagine it's actually quite difficult to do a scene where you only react to what is going on around you. HUGE kudos to David Berry, but Sam's contribution was amazing, too

[@kekakr71]

David Berry is great.
