I love Our Flag Means Death. I love it so much that I think I must have watched it at least 8 times now.

Also for both shows (spoilers for Season 3 finale of WWDITS and the season finale of OFMD) having both Nandor and Ed left behind while waiting for the people they were supposed to go away with just wrecked me. It must have been hosed up for people who finished WWDITS first to watch OFMD and slowly realize with dawning horror that it’s happening AGAIN :cry:

Waiting anxiously to hear if OFMD gets renewed, I’ve heard that the merger between networks and possible renegotiations because OFMD ended up being way more popular than they were probably expecting might be slowing things down a bit.

some people have suggested that they might be waiting to announce it for Pride month or until some of the buzz dies down (it’s been at the top of parrot analytics’ most in-demand series chart for 7 weeks straight now) although at this point i honestly don’t care when they announce it as long as it gets renewed

Agree. The only comparable show that came to mind was TOS Star Trek, in that the world of OFMD just *is* nicer than the one we live in. & most importantly it's not paraded in-universe as anything other than just the way they are. Like there isn't a scene in-show where it pats itself on the head for being progressive, it just is. And that's nice to see.

Exactly! And this is one of the many things that makes it resonate so much with fans. It feels genuine and positive in relation to the characters discovering more about themselves and their queerness. Like in episode 10 when Stede asks Mary what love feels like and when she's describing it to him he's thinking about him and Ed he looks so happy and then she's also happy for him and it's so wonderful oh god :cry:

One thing that I love is that it features queer characters in their 40s. This isn't to say that shows with younger characters (particularly teens) aren't important because they absolutely are, but there feels like there's a real lack of stories with older characters and it's so nice to see that, especially as someone who didn't realize a lot of things about themselves until their 30s. There is love and acceptance for you at any age. And you don't have to have everything sorted out right away, you can make major life changes (like becoming a pirate!) and find happiness later in life. And sometimes you're going to gently caress up but that's okay! You're doing fine :unsmith:


Anyway I've watched it 13 times now and I think it's done something to me, but something positive that makes me feel good about myself, lmao

OFMD ep 8: TURTLE CRAB FIGHT

And the best use of The Chain. :kimchi:


I love that episode so much! Will Arnett as Calico Jack shouting almost every line and being a complete rear end in a top hat was perfect. The scene with The Chain is my favorite In the whole show, it looks cool as hell and the way everything’s synced up to the music is great. Apparently they had to do it double time to get everything to look right, haha.

And the foot touch at the end :kimchi:

And! I didn’t notice this the first few times but at the very end of the episode you can see the Swede hiding in a barrel on the right when everyone’s getting arrested :lol:

Colin Robinson getting excited about lego and regular kid stuff was weirdly adorable and unsettling st the same time.

Staying off the internet for the three hours until the show airs on the West Coast is very difficult, I don’t know how I coped for other shows before moving to the US :pwn:

oh my god Nandor just run off with Guillermo already!!!

The Marwa scene with Guillermo!

I laughed when everyone started objecting and kept doing it for an hour. Also Colin carrying Nadja Doll down the aisle was very cute :3:

I loved Sean and Charmaine at the wedding and also I feel bad for Derek.

i liked that Nandor and Laszlo were wrong about a supernatural creature and Sean was right :haw:

Also seeing Marwa hang out and have fun with Nadja, Nadja Doll and The Guide was very heartwarming :3:


edit: oh I forgot seeing Guillermo’s family’s Slayer Powers activate made me legit worried about Nadja for a second, like yeah we knew they have slayer blood but if even one or two of them were also as terrifyingly competent as Guillermo then holy poo poo :stonk: we already saw Guillermo slaughter an entire room of vampires by himself, imagine what damage his family could do
