Overall Grade: A
Yea for more Hornblower! I don't know how much significance it has for you, but I didn't get any homework done this weekend because I watched this in my spare time. There isn't much happiness in this one because it really needs vol.2 to resolve it, I think. Basic premise here is that Horatio is 3rd lieutenant on the HMS Reknown, except that his famed captain is addicted to laudanum (an opiate) which they find out much to late to stem the tide of mutinous allegations endangering their ship. Ah, how 19th century naval discipline made for sure-fire tensions!
