Nimitz surgically removing strands of celery at the dinner table in attemps to mind his manners.

The whole scene in Honor of the Queen when Houseman irritated everyone and their grandma in the delegation party in company with the Graysons by suggesting his shocking ideas that Grayson should trade with the Masadans, leading up to when Honor briefly discusses war with Houseman and supplies Clausewitz's name.

But to see the look going around the table on the Grayson's face "WTF!?... He wants us to... to... to trade with -- to give the enemy what they don't have to kill us with... so they can later kill us? Wait! What? ... ... Is this a phucking joke?!" -- would be priceless.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Housemen sounds like he's a believer in Lenin's dictum of "The capitalist will sell us the rope that we will hang them with."

Sally MacBride's taunting of Randy Steilman...

"You want another piece of me Steilman? You do remember what happened last time we locked horns don't you? Come on Stelly baby, let mama have some more fun!"

Although it happened offscreen. It'd be nice to see the incident in question. Real nice.

Speaking of which and having "outgrown" being bullied similar to how Aubry did, heck I'd go for seeing Aubry's taunting of Steilman, plus about the next thirty seconds of not quite hand to hand combat. Also known as 'the big bud bully gets handed his arse with a serving of smashed manhood humble pie for desert. Plus other assorted whupped broken parts.

All my posts are YMMV, IMHO, and welcoming polite discussion, extension, and rebuttal. This is the HonorVerse, after all

I second that!

Also in contention, is his trip to the ship's doctor and more teasing. And let's not omit the big hands of Harkness coming down on, was it Coulter's shoulder?, "You keep out of it sweetheart." And I'd like to see what a female called a Showforth looks like.

Aside:
I've never personally been bullied, so I don't know how it feels. I can only imagine. However, I've derailed lots of bullying in junior through high school. I just don't like it. Not on my watch. But one thing I have never tolerated is a guy striking a girl. NO WAY! My father drilled it into his sons... "Never put your hands on a girl!" And I have five sisters. They're all very beautiful princesses that I would never dare touch.

I guess that was part of the reason I was always the most popular guy in school. I was kind, generous, incredibly good looking (that is being modest! lol). When I was in the 11th grade, I had a sister in the 10th and one a senior. When you're a guy in high school and the two most beautiful girls in the school are your own sisters??? ... Well, let's just say that lots of good will comes your way! Three of my five sisters were homecoming Queens! The other two elected to enroll in a private school where there was no such thing. So, no bullying did I endure. More like, can I be your buddy?

Having beautiful sisters has its rewards. :D

And setbacks. :lol:

I said it before, but I'd really like to see Grayson sentiment when they first laid eyes on the long-legged Honor...

" :o Damn, I think wormhole travel stretches them! :o "

I'd like to see the entire scene during Young's court martial when Honor was given the Manticoran Inquisition on what occurred aboard her ship and the task force while HD shows her riding her embattled ship like a Valkyrie, "Get those ships in closer!"

I thought they were going to break her during that scene. I'm not so sure I can endure it onscreen, but want it anyways.

I HAVE SOOO MANY!!!

Shannon Foraker being her socially awkward, Tac-Witch,utterly adorable Havenite self :)

Sonja doing geeky Sonja things

Nimitz being a Stinker to his Honor

Eloise/ Javier being romantic (so Rose will be happy)

Henke and Honor's friendship being deeply explored

PNS Tepes going "boom"

the infamous "oops" (Does that count as Shannon being her socially awkward, Tac-Witch,utterly adorable Havenite self?? ;))

To name a few...

I like Sonja. I like her a lot like jelly tots. But I'd still like to see Honor dress down the Weapons Development Board (WDB) in her barely contained anger regarding the gutting of Fearless.

Then we could literally see Sonja cringe :o :oops: and slink away in her chair like limp taffy. Being shot at with levelled missile batteries in 3D!

"But but but but but... it was only meant to be a test bed. Honest."

"DID SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING?," says leveled missile batteries.

Another good military scene would be the taking of the command post on Hades.
