The South Essex briefly acquires a new officer whom Sharpe harbors an irational hatred for and briefly considers shooting in the back.
That's the one. In retrospect, I think that scene is the precise moment I fell in love with Sharpe. He's such a bastard when he hates people, and I don't mean in the legal sense.
Sword is so insanely slashy that they couldn't deslashify it if they tried -- and I think they did. So much Sharpe/Harper interaction got sacrificed so that mute chick could get some of Sharpe's magical healing cock ... yet at the same time, Sharpe's relationship with Jack Spears went from friendly rivalry to raging man-crush, I thought he was going to kiss him in the library, I've seen Westerns with less UST than this, woa.
Of course, I love Sharpe/Teresa as much as Sharpe/Harper. There's a distinct danger of me writing a ship manifesto for them, after 1. I finish the series and 2. I magically cease to be lazy. Something about hot, competent, heavily-armed women with accents ...
