TURN “I Know The End”

Every good fandom needs an honorary ’i know the end’ edit that’s just how it works. Please go ahead and direct all hate to @tallmadgeandtea it was her idea I am guiltless (kidding ofc). I fear I will be getting jail time for this and having my editing privileges revoked. But I simply had to do what must be done.

Please watch until the end. I spent my entire spring break working on this and nearly caused my phone to overheat.

Re: prev posts about women in historical fiction, I have a thought that is tangentially related and it's that I hate the way people react to Anna in TURN as if she's a modern woman with modern rights and a modern conception of her place in the world. People act like she's cruel or evil or wrong for making the choices that she has, even though the alternative is... What? Sit around and do nothing? Give in to the demands of the men in her life? She cannot stand up for herself or her rights like a woman today could, because she has very little in the way of rights to begin with. Every time she stands up for herself in a direct way, she's smacked down and reminded of her relative powerlessness and how little anyone gives a shit what she thinks.

When we meet Anna, she is taken from being the wife of one of the richest men in town to being the disgraced wife of an imprisoned traitor with no home and nothing of her own, left "waiting on men [her husband] hated in a tavern he used to own."

Her friends are gone, it's pretty obviously implied her family isn't around either, and the only home she's ever known (Setauket) is a primarily Tory town and the place where everyone knows her to be disgraced and destitute.

She wasn't even supposed to marry Selah in the first place, but her childhood sweetheart and former fiance married someone else out of guilt... So when he comes to her after she's lost everything and already has a ruined reputation? Yes, it's completely understandable that she takes that risk with him, even though it's not a great choice from pretty much every other perspective.

And she even acknowledges this herself! She chooses to stay in Setauket for the cause and for Abe, telling him to his face that she stayed for him and "a life that [she] can't have."

Throughout the series people (including Abe! ESPECIALLY ABE!) degrade Anna and don't take her seriously, repeatedly refusing to acknowledge the insights she provides and her significance to the Ring. She has very little power or control in her life, and she makes her choices knowing this and leveraging what little power she has.

"She shouldn't have cheated with Abe." - Fine, yes, and she knows it. She is married to someone she shows little evidence of loving and has zero control over any other aspect of her life, and her husband is in prison with no sign of coming back any time soon. I think we can forgive this.

"She led Simcoe on!" - Anna used the one single bit of leverage she has to try and protect her friends and her cause. Simcoe creeped on her when she was in a very vulnerable position and eventually physically assaulted her when she stood up to him.

"She led Hewlett on!" - Agree to disagree. All of the above regarding her single bit of leverage, plus I don't actually think she did lead him on after a point, but that's a whole ass other post. Even if she did, once again, Anna is not a modern woman and has very little control over her life or ability to influence anything in a direct way. Without a husband she has nothing of her own and very little protection.

"Underhanded" tactics, like using Simcoe's attraction to her to protect Abe, or lying to Hewlett? They're the only tactics she has.

THE CULPER RING

Look, I had to trade some goods. Caleb Brewster is running a shop out of his whale boat on Devil's Belt. I had to trade with him. Caleb? You saw him? How is he? He's the same as ever. He's unshaven, he's insane. I saw Ben Tallmadge, too. What? You saw him? They were together? No, no. Ben is a... he's a Connecticut Dragoon now. He's got a shiny helmet and all. He tried to recruit me for a secret mission. Against the British? Don't worry, I won't do it. Why not? What are you waiting for? What more do they need to take from us?

All i can say is that Turn: Washington's Spies is one of the BEST historical dramas I've ever watched. I loved every single episode of it. The characters, the ambientations, the writing, the soundtrack. Perfect. Just Perfect.

(well, expect for Anna and Abe's drama: i've found it unbearable, even when they already had such amazing patners like Mary Woodhull and Selah Strong)

Mary had plenty of reasons not to like Anna but I do think that Anna absolutely smoked Mary with that "Worry about your husband, not your good name." line.
