The Bully | |
| Banished (2015) / int_1b60dcba | comment |
The Bully: Marston bullies other inmates into giving him their food (when they're all on the verge of starvation anyway), and after James challenges him for stealing Elizabeth's food, Marston starts stealing all of James' meals, fully intending to starve him to death for his defiance. | |

The Quiet One: Captain Collins records the minutes in the official meetings that include Governor Phillip, Major Ross, and Reverend Johnson. He usually adds little to the conversation, but his facial reactions to the others are priceless. | |

The Big Guy: The blacksmith Marston is massive (his actor Rory McCann is 6 foot 6), which not only allows him to bully food off the other inmates with impunity, it means nobody believes for a second that James killed him and hid the body on his own. | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| Banished (2015) / int_8a817c2a | comment |
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Played with in the case of Major Ross; his forceful claiming of Kitty as a concubine (especially one who was already in a loving relationship with one of his subordinates) takes him into this trope, but she ends up ending her first relationship and being with him willingly due to a combination of Ross' genuinely self-reflecting improvement and cold-blooded manipulation. Ultimately, though Ross is a candidate for the most immoral character on the show, he is not without sympathetic or redeeming qualities, and his initial treatment of Kitty isn't treated as the Moral Event Horizon it might be in other works. | |

The Friend Nobody Likes | |
| Banished (2015) / int_a861560f | comment |
The Friend Nobody Likes: Buckley is loathed by absolutely everyone. To his credit, he knows this, and knows why, and does make an effort to seek out Timmins and ask him to mentor him in how to be a better soldier and person. Any progress he makes is completely squandered when he gets Tommy hanged purely out of petty spite (and also demonstrates that Timmins' boxing lessons have been wasted when he cowers and gets the shit kicked out of him) and he ends the series having been given the job of guarding the hangman, a position absolutely nobody else wanted. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Banished (2015) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Governor Philip is doing his very best to keep the colony vaguely functional, considers problems from as many different angles as possible, and while some of his decisions backfire none of them are unreasonable at the time. At a lower level, Sergeant Timmins is universally respected among the soldiers and the inmates, and specifically promised his subordinates that he would protect them from bad decisions made by top brass. He even tries to take Buckley under his wing and make him a better soldier (and person). | |

Just Following Orders | |
| Banished (2015) / int_dca97045 | comment |
Just Following Orders: Sergeant Timmins clearly doesn't enjoy a lot of his assigned tasks (including flogging Elizabeth), but does them because it's his job. The one time he disobeys an order (turning back so as not to lose any men in the bush during the chase for James) leads to a severe dressing down (and threats) from Major Ross, which leads him to buckle down on doing exactly what he's told. | |

Evil Is Petty: Buckley tells Tommy he's been with his wife (knowing full well this will lead to Tommy hitting him, which will lead to Tommy being executed) just because Tommy humiliated him at cards. | |

Pet the Dog: Following the death of his underling, Ross commissions Letters Malloy to fabricate a letter to the dead man's family saying he died valiantly protecting his comrades (rather than the pathetic and painful death from snakebite he actually had), and honours the favour he owes Malloy as a result of this. Notably, unlike many of Ross' Pragmatic Villainy moments, this is purely to give peace of mind to the dead man's family and has no ulterior motive. | |
