hello hi we're back, pls mute if desired as we (parker it's just you) finish up season 1 hashtag angry queer pirate feelings https://twitter.com/parkerfoye/status/1253093404105416704

the title sequence of this show is amazing btw, and the music is

flint's 'darest thou speak shit about mrs barlow' face

and flint's 'what do you mean i can't kill silver' face

stephens gives such great face. there's something so 'disapproving professor' about him. he thinks he's the smartest person in every room and is so disgruntled when someone dares to interrupt his internal monologue about, like, seneca.

"it's gone limp again ... do you want something up your arse?"
"thank you, no."
i love them so muchhhh

this conversation is great. i mean, it's awful, obviously, because this is the beginning of the end for the token northerner onboard, but it's great.

"i'm tired of the energy it takes to believe you. to believe in you. i'm taking this to the crew. you're their problem now."

flint you're letting your villain's moustache do your thinking for you!

vane’s storyline is still happening

lookit these tiny baby bastards

anyway i came back to that comment just after That Conversation between flint and miranda *drinks more wine*

luckily max has returned to save jack from his bad business decisions and lift the agony of this episode for like three minutes

flint you sad fucker.

okay season finale coming up

we open with a storm, cool, this isn't ominous.

but also! a new partnership of max and jack (or, as i'm sure he'd dream it, jack and max).

and silver and the prosthetic leg. silver you're an absolute trashbasket nightmare, please know i judge myself as, if not more, harshly as i judge you

silver: uhh so what happens if this map doesn't say what you think it should
flint: *ominous silence*
boat: *rocks*
lightning: *flashes*

god the rolling of this camera-slash-ship is brilliant and also i want to ralph

the thing is, right, ais if you have watched tv before then YOU KNOW that the light conversation/character development moment in an arc of otherwise desolation will absolutely result in the death of one of the participants. you KNOW.

he's even SMILING come ON

luckily anne bonny is having a bi crisis to distract us

FUCK i MISS THE SEA

oh bugger remember when i was taking the piss out of flint's little ponytail last time? i just realise that is literally how i'm sitting here with my hair rn. i'm a prophet.

here it isss. another flip flop of secrets.

question: did silver get that jacket made the same place max got her dress.

is now REALLY the time for a mutiny, lads

Shared Life Experiences TM

this is fine, probably

1. Jessica Parker Kennedy is Very
2. meeting of awkward exes only awkward on one side; other side is planning on burning the world down no hard feelings

and we end season one with flint finding the gold! and, like anyone finding the thing they were looking for, sort of Conflicted about it. conflicted and grimacing and with astonishing cuticles, mine are a mess, i'm jealous

flint is such a compelling character. an absolute knob, but with the thing where he's astonishingly compentent in certain areas (piracy; self destruction; sartorial choices) and a complete shocker in others (remembering other people have autonomy). he's so vulnerable? and stabby?

he likely spent his adolesence falling in love with everyone who looked at him twice, but repressed it under Period-Typical (internalised) Biphobia. and then thomas. and then (italicised) thomas (/i).

i was about to write 'there's so many queers in this show' but actually, there isn't, it just feels that way because usually we're only allowed one. maybe their dead ex.

ANYWAY.
thank you for joining me and be sure to return for season two when this show gets Very Good, Actually.
