Curtain (1 January 2013) - Captain Hastings
CANNOT WAIT. I AM GOING TO CRY FOR DAYS WHEN I WATCH FINALLY THIS.
im not fine. this is just the best gif i could find on short notice. We will hold hands and get through this together.
For masterpieceofass’ love of the cover of “The Ruby in the Smoke,” here is a close-up of the extremely nuanced and elegant picture that was obscured by flash in the last shot. And here’s a summary of the experience of reading the book:
- No vests are ever mentioned. For shame.
- Frederick is described as being a case for a psychologist because Sally finds it confusing that he is a sensitive artist who also has a hot temper.
- Rosa Garland is described as a gorgeous energetic panther and a beautiful shiny-haired mermaid
and a sparkly magic unicornand I was pretty surprised that Sally didn’t make out with her by the end of the book (although she didn’t hook up with Freddy either).- Jim is “the solidification of all the dirt in the city” with hair that looks styled by electricity, and whenever they try to take a picture of him, no matter how nobly they dress him, “his features were such that his expression was always that of a cheerful villain.” No wonder I loved his character best in the movie.
- OPIUM = BAD.
- But maybe sometimes you should smoke it when you don’t know what the hell is going on and it will tell you all the secrets of your past?
- “Sandwich” = one piece of bread slathered with butter and jam and the perfect thing to eat walking to a midnight stakeout on a bridge.
- According to blurbs for the next three books in the back, the third one involves a nefarious possible-imposter claiming to be Frederick. WHY DIDN’T THEY EVER MAKE THAT ONE INTO A MOVIE? It was the perfect chance to give JJ a creepy moustache and a wacky psychotic break because we’ve never seen that in anything else.
Yes!! This is the greatest recap! I agree with all of these bullet points, especially ones concerning the definition of sandwich, psycho ultra sensitive artists, mermaid hair, and most especially: evil freddy robot numero dos.
This is exactly the type of photoshop disaster that comes to mind when i think “Masterpiece Theatre.” Thank you simon pegg.
so proud of our guest gif editor Brynn for making these incredible valentines!
Happy Galentine’s day, you beautiful pieces of ass!
CRAFTERPIECE THEATRE

Best part about this? These are all from Masterpiece Theatre episodes..
Disclaimer: Today is Ruby in the Smoke day, and this is my absolute favorite JJ Feild Masterpiece Theatre show, next to Northanger Abbey, of course (which is one of my all time favorite Masterpiece theater shows).
Between JJ Feild giving sassy smirks, telling bad jokes, having Hayley Atwell make fun of him every chance she gets, and declaring himself an “art-teest” far more times than necessary in an hour long program, you barely have time to catch your breath and realize he wears the MOST INSANE VESTS IN THE HISTORY OF MASTERPIECE THEATER.
Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
