Johnny Martin Appreciation Thread

[muccamukk]

I was just rewatching "The Last Patrol" for the fic I did, and overall loving Johnny in that, especially in the scene where Winter's reveals the plan is fake. He's just clearly so done with it all that he basically has this huge non-reaction reaction to it. Like when Winters says "is that clear?" about how they're not actually going, and everyone says "Yes, sir." he just stares straight ahead and doesn't say anything. Then when Winters says they're moving off the line the next day, and everyone's laughing and hugging, Johnny turns away and runs a hand through his hair and doesn't talk to anyone.

Anyway, hadn't noticed that before. Favourite Johnny Martin moments welcome.

Johnny's reactions are always so excellent in every part of the series. Dexter Fletcher does such a tremendous job contorting his face to express visceral emotions and one of my absolute favorites is the total death glare he pins on Webster in that episode. Just beautiful. A true work of art, and also Johnny Martin is a babe.

Right? I mean one could wish he were a little younger, as Johnny's what, 22? but he's also so perfectly cast from ever account of the man. I love that he talked his way out of the army early.
