Mutiny and Retribution are two episodes, really a two-part single episode, from the TV version of Hornblower, taken from the book "Lieutenant Hornblower". Have to admit I was visualizing David Warner (THAT source's crazy captain) for yours!
And yes, ouch, Captain Bligh. That's one case where I find the historical record more compelling than the fictional version, interestingly enough. Watching the Marlon Brando movie along with people who know enough history to provide running commentary on which bits weren't true... brilliant.
I CAN'T EVEN with how much dreadful romance I've run across lately. Yours was a breath of fresh air and a welcome relief. I have a funny feeling that I'm going to be using your titles as "unicorn chasers" after horrid ones, from now on.
