  • "LET 'EM LOOK!" - OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH EPISODE 5 REACTION!
    Best. Episode. Yet.
    So funny, so much character depth, so satisfying!
    I think my favourite thing about this episode is how much relationship building we saw:
    Stede and Edward. Lucius and Black Pete. Izzy versus Everyone.
    Can't wait for the next one!

    I loved how badly Ed wanted to go to the party but initially played disinterested, then caught everyone's eye but they ended up turning on him. All the characters have a surprising amount of depth to them; I felt really bad for Ed after the dinner scene.

    I haven't seen a tureen or phrenologist explanation, so... A tureen is a deep, covered serving dish which holds soups, stews, etc. And phrenology was a pseudo-science which purported that the shape of and bumps in your skull were evidence of intelligence levels, specific personality traits, and a person's overall character.

      To add a couple of things:
      - A viceroy is a noble who exercises authority for the crown, especially in a colony. For example, the Spanish colonies in the Americas at the time were organized as viceroyalties (Indies in the Caribbean; New Spain in what is now Mexico and the Central American countries; Peru; New Grenada in Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela; and Rio Plata in Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina), each ruled by their own viceroy acting on the behalf of the Spanish monarchy.
      - A phrenologist is someone who practices phrenology, the antiquated practice of using features of the skull to determine mental and personality characteristics. Phrenology is often invoked to describe pseudoscience and quackery. Interestingly, phrenology as a subject was not really around when Our Flag Means Death is set, not being formally defined until around 1796.

    7:06 probably because that's not actually a piano; that is a harpsichord, a keyboard instrument predating the piano that uses a system of plucked rather than hammered strings, creating a distinct sound. Unlike the later piano, the harpsichord was uncapable of dynamic variation (hence the full name of the piano, the "pianoforte.")

Loved the hearts edited onto the scene there, really added to it haha. It's interesting to note that Ed actually listened to Stede even when he was upset and ready to kill. Now that Stede and Ed are becoming closer, it's hard to see Ed actually following through on his plan to kill him. But you'll just have to wait and see what happens! There's still plenty of twists and turns to watch out for!

    Like, I'm sorry but sometimes it's funny how heteronormativity makes people blind.
    The scene is the opposite of subtle: under the moon, romantic music, Ed's pixar eyes, that hitch in the breath, the aborted gesture like he was gonna kiss Stede, the two of them looking back at each other...Those all are romantic tropes. Idk how someone can see all that and say "yeah, BFF" lol. It's a bit sad when you think about it, how so many people and stories are unseen.

      @@GlenOwen I started watching this show because people recommend it for it's awesome queer rep and because it's not queerbait. So I knew from the very beginning that it was going to be gay and from the moment Stede and Blackbeard met I immediately felt the romantic tension (you can even hear it, their romantic scenes always have Gnossienne nr5 in the soundtrack). It's actually really interesting to see how long it takes for someone who's not expecting this to pick up on that. Especially because you're not actively looking for characters to be queer (which is a thing we tend to do). The fact that it took you until ep 6 to see Stede as possibly gay and how a lot of queer symbolism and metaphors went completely over your head really puts things in perspective for me. The different way in wich a queer audience and a cishet audience interpret things is very often used to queerbait. In our flag means death the queer subtext gradually becomes more explicit until we don't even have to read it between the lines anymore. That's rare, sadly, we are not used to that.

      Got it. I appreciate you sharing your perspective.
      I watched other UA-camrs talk about their experience of being black and watching movies.
      One of the things they said, I think mirrors what you articulated.
      They were frustrated because most of the main stream movies that featured people of their skin colour were highlighting the skin colour as an attribute that made them different or unique.
      They were happy when they could just watch a movie where the main lead is black, but without that feature having anything to do with the plot.
      And I agree with them. I think it creates positive role models.
      I guess another way of saying it is, it’s awesome just to see yourself in a movie or show, and Not have to see it be about Different parts of how you identify that are prominent in the social cultural world.
      The show was great because it’s about the merit and growth of the characters, And honestly, who cares how they identify or who they are attracted to. That stuff shouldn’t matter. Because really, that’s their business and no one else’s.

Let me tell you, the fandom has quite the imagination, and I am here for it
