Think about those puppy eyes and wobbling chin everytime you visit this topic, how very sad Flight is because you didn't vote him...


Naah I'm just kidding biggrin

Still, Jack has come bit over Flight because he is new character, fresh and sassy. Poor little Flight, will anybody remember him? He is always my fav detective cause he is so damn hot and cute and not sassy at all (well maybe little wink). And if I could choose, I would choose Flight to be real life cop, liked his way to work undercovercool

If you know what I mean...

Oh Nan, perhaps you are right. I mean, those paintings are so great I'm sure Flight himself would be so touched if he could see that awesome painting of yours that you made about himwink And perhaps that's why it's very fair of you vote Jack instead...

Still..

!!! VOTE FOR FLIGHT !!!

:police2:

I love Flight! Just think what sort of detective he could have been if it had been Reid who had 'saved' him rather than Shine.

His backstory is so compelling. I love Flight's moral ambiguity, it makes him a such an interesting character - Jack is much more black and white even though he doesn't always go about things the 'correct' way. Flight's speech about the work he did for Inspector Reid being good work and meant and felt in his heart as proper work makes me cry every time I watch it.

Flight's look is awesome too!

yay Rosie, I knew I could trust YOU to choose Flight! 25%, not bad, not everyone thinks that Jack is #1!

I have tried my very best in this topic to remind people how great character and detective Flight is. And before they vote they could remember him cause Jack is currently on telly and taking all attention, but that doesn't mean that Flight should be forgotten!biggrin

Yay, go Team Flight, JozieMozie!

I like to think of Jack Weston as Albert Flight's descendant (Flight's great-great-great grandson?)! Carrying on Flight's 'good work'!

hear hear Rosie! I think Flight has the makings of an awesome detective, and not all is lost for him... fingers crossed he gets a chance to show it in the next series of Ripper Street.

good point about his look too... not that this is a poll on costumes and Jack is not too hard on the eye either.... but those period costumes swing it for me... the pocket watch and chain, the fedora, the suits, the high collars and cravats... thud

And I second the idea of a Jack Weston is Albert Flight's great grandson fan fic !

Jack is still well in the lead in the poll though......

I think there are quite a lot of similarities between Flight and Jack (aside from looks and accent!). Both are very determined and have their own sense of what is right and wrong. Flight is very clear in his distinction between the bad things he has done and the good work he does for Reid even though his moral compass seems a bit awry to everyone else. Jack will do things which are not by the book if it achieves what he thinks needs to happen in a situation. I think Flight would see quite a lot of himself in his great-great-great grandson!

I would love Flight to come back in series 3 and show everyone the sort of man he could be. If he came back he would have to work really hard to gain everyone's trust and hopefully everyone would eventually admire his perserverance. It would be a much more interesting story than punishing him.

I love the period costumes too, Domino! I do spend most of Ripper Street drooling over the incredible clothes!

Well, I haven't thought about that but now you said it they do have lot in common Rosiesmile

I would love to see Flight again, he was so interesting person. You can imagine my disappointment after season 2 finale when they just left his future hanging on like that (and the whole show). In season 3 they are jumping forward in time, so I hope there would be change (even in one ep) that Flight would return. I would like to see proper ending for his story.aww

I have thought of another reason why Flight is the best detective. Anything Inspector Reid wants to know, Flight finds it out for him (how many horticulturalists sell cacti which you could make peyote out of, where the nightsoil men are, which printers use which ink) but obviously he doesn't have the use of the internet like Jack does. Flight actually has to look through all the records and find things quickly which is harder than just typing a few things into a computer! No wonder he is so pleased with himself!

Rosie - I agree almost entirely with every point you have made.....but the poll is for your favourite detective - not the best.  Much as I love Flight and hope we see more of him - maybe another series would change my mind...........but, for now at least, my favourite us still Jack!

Sorry fifi, I got over enthusiastic about my support for Flight and forgot the question! Flight is still my favourite detective! It looks like Jack is going to win though!

Haha...Rosie - no need to apologise for enthusiasm!  It might be interesting to see whether Jack would still win a 'best detective' rather than 'favourite detective' poll....and no, domino! that's not a hint - I 'tragically' still haven't voted in the Hal/Flight poll (sorry!!)

oooh fifi......we have an abstainer, time to step up our campaigns folks!

I love your recent argument Rosie - there was no cctv, no fingerprinting (but it came soon i think, very late 1800s/ early 1900s? I am sure someone will tell us! ) no computer records and as you say no internet! every break a detective had in those days was far more fought for! Perhaps though because the rest of the world has changed... crime fighting has become tougher in other ways.

I have just voted for Flight. I cannot say this was an objective decision, more that I tend to fight for the underdog... I love both characters equally and Jack is undoubedly a superb detective.

I chose Jack Weston because he's a dynamic character.

I like that DS Weston's words are ones that Mr. Molony chose.

Thanks for voting ithcaSL, good to see you on the forum! one more for the Detective Weston camp, 'dynamic' is the perfect word for Jack

I'm really enjoying your 'vote for Flight' campaign JozieMozie, maybe we need to highlight all those detectiving skills of his?

Maybe you are right, I have told why Flight is my favorite detective even though I like Jack as well. wink

But its good to remind people about Flight, cause you know, Jack is owning the telly right now and Flight was smaller role than Jack. I have approach this topic thinking about the detective side and character side, lets not forget Flight who was amazing detective back in the days, with his nice style and lego hair, and his dark past. Deep, interesting character.

 

And you know, people have pointed out that Flight did excellent job without any computers, cctv and modern day equipment. He wasn't so good at fights, even Damien told that in one interview (and boy do I like see Jack in action, I mean when he arrest someone) but when I step back and look them both, my heart always choose Flight. Its not that which one has better detective skills, it's the whole character itself theatre

Loving your campaign for Flight, JozieMozie! My heart always chooses Flight too!

And Domino, so glad that you voted for Flight. He will always be the underdog in his life and in this poll so he needs all the support he can get!

Was hoping that Flight's big sad eyes in episode of 8 of Ripper Street shown in the US at the weekend would have swung a few more votes Flight's way!

Me too, he is such a puppy with those big eyes! aw

I still hope people would choose Flight because he is their fav detective, not because they would feel pity for him.

He did noble thing and told the truth. What a great man. Loved that line ".. no sir, the work I have done for you, here, it was good work". 

And here are those sad big eyes to help rest of the people to decidewink
