#max and morse

[bryndeavour]

As a scientist, he had a profound distrust of all such intangible notions as ‘responsibility’, ‘motive’, and ‘guilt’; and as a man he had little or no respect for the work of the police force. There was only one policeman he’d ever met for whom he had a slight degree of admiration, and that was Morse. And the only reason for such minimal approbation was that Morse had once told him over a few pints of beer that he in turn had a most profound contempt for the timid twaddle produced by pathologists.

Billy: Bambi, I think we should learn Morse code

Steve: What? Why?

Billy: So I can tell you how much I want to fuck you in front of the kids

Dustin *spits out juice*: What?

Max: …I wish you’ve said that in Morse code

That moment...

in ‘Confection’ when you realise an outtake was actually an edit point!

One of my favourite Masterpiece PBS behind the scenes features for Season 6 is 'Endeavour, Season 6: The Cast on Shaun Evans as Director' [x], mostly because of all the outtakes where Shaun is flashing that fantastic smile!

At about the 1min 20sec mark, there's a wonderful outtake from 'Confection' when Shaun looks at Anton Lesser and breaks up. If you run the outtake directly after the actual scene, however...

...the frames match exactly!

How lovely to think that at the end of any given scene, no matter how dark, that they all could have laughed! In this scene DeBryn is telling Bright and Endeavour about the bullet that killed Fancy!

This knowledge might just get me through the toughest scenes. And also the Morsetache, of course.

Deep in my soul I believe Morse and Max were meant to run off together and live a Frog and Toad sort of lifestyle.

Anything suspicious? Only you, Morse.

Men Endeavour Morse definitely slept with and other related matters...

(This is a selection of headcanons, obviously YMMV. :D )

Definitely slept with:

Tony Donn, when they were at Oxford together, probably a lot

Ludo Talenti

Jack Swift

Probably slept with:

Jerome Hogg, when they were at Oxford together

Peter Jakes, either prior to "Arcadia" or in s9

Would definitely have slept with if bad things hadn't happened to the man in question first:

Joss Bixby, and how

Nick Wilding

Would probably have slept with very frequently if the other man weren't in a monogamous marriage for the duration of their friendship:

Robbie Lewis

Didn't sleep with but probably should have done:

Jim Strange (it would have done a lot for both of them I think)

Didn't sleep with but I suspect the other man would have liked to:

George Fancy

Should not merely have slept with but got married to:

Max DeBryn (we know this to be true)

Not platonic or romantic or sexual but a secret fourth thing that was far more intense than everything else in this post, bloody hell:

OK so this is ‘car thing’ and was started in 2021 and you can have a screen shot of my VERY INTRODUCTORY ramblings about how it will go ---

Can we just talk about how Max Debryn is the most character ever? He's a pathologist. He's a hobbit. He's queer-coded. He communicates exclusively in gay poetry references and morbid scientific facts. He's got a perfect house. He can bake. He'll chew you up and spit you out if you cross him. He wears bowties. He's unapologetically fat. He's death-positive. He'll choke you just to make a point. He's thinking about getting a dog. What a legend. He should be in everything.

#look morse is my favourite character in endeavour #but max debryn is everything i am and wish to be #love that funky little man #max debryn #endeavour #itv endeavour #james bradshaw #i'd die for him #bryndeavour

i finally got round to watching the last episode of Inspector Morse, i have watched quite a few episodes in the last year but i've never really managed to get into it, i think i'm just too attached to Endeavour.

anyway, my point is that i'm just very emotional about Morse and Jim Strange. they had a friendship (albeit a complicated one) that lasted for 30+ years! jim was there when morse died and had his back right until the end! morse was always a terrible friend, he lets jim down at important moments and he never fully trusted him (with good reasons at times - the masons being one of them) and yet jim is always there even when morse is pushing him away. Jim has no idea about Morse's feelings for Joan, he just wants his best mate by his side when he gets married.

jim gives morse a place to live, is the only one listening to morse in Zenana with his unexplained deaths theory (and gets himself stabbed in the process), gets him back in CID in s6, needs his help investigating george's death and doesn't give up even though morse doesn't want to know, and in IM he's still there picking up the pieces wherever morse goes.

What i think is interesting is that Jim was brought up by his grandma, i don't think it's ever said what happened to his parents or if he had any siblings. His grandma doesn't seem like a warm and friendly person, did Strange have a lonely childhood too? Does he recognise that loneliness in Morse? i think the pair of them are more alike than morse would care to admit.

#this is rambly and doesn't make much sense #but watching the scene in IM where morse dies and jim is there made me well up thinking about their history!!! #i just have a lot of feelings about them #and don't even get me started on morse and max - it's a shame max wasn't in IM for long #but they have such a long history too!!! #endeavour #itv endeavour
