Our Flag Means [What, again?]

di Courtney Casimir
Stagione 1
Our Flag Means [childhood trauma]
Esplicito
In this introductory episode, I'll discuss the pilot, my thoughts on Stede Bonnet, The Crew of the Revenge, and the different themes and foreshadowing I picked up on my rewatch and after the episode.
Our Flag Means [aw damn, the light skins]
Esplicito
In this episode, I talk about one of the funniest episodes of the show which includes; Stede's growing list of trauma, the fantastic crew of the revenge, the introduction of Israel Hands, and how much I love the foreshadowing in this show.
Our Flag Means [love a black woman from infinity to infinity]
Esplicito
In this episode, I discuss one of my favorite episodes which just so happens to be one of the show's best episodes (what a coincidence), rave about the comedic timing of all the actors, and express my love for Spanish Jackie/her fit (Stede's too).
Our Flag Means [this, is blackbeard?]
Esplicito
In this legendary episode, I try to be normal about Blackbeard (and fail many many times), talk about the amazing way this show handles parallels, gush over Ed and Stede's soulmate antics, and of course my favorite part, talk shit about Izzy.
Our Flag Means [reparations]
Esplicito
In this episode, I talk about one of my top five episodes which is also one the best-written (argue with your mother) praise the costume design team, discuss microaggressions and praise the use of Gnossienne 5 not only as Stede and Ed's theme song but as a signal of their growing relationship and love for each other. (and of course, slander Izzy some more).
Our Flag Means [more trauma but it's racially motivated]
Esplicito
In this episode, I talk about trauma again but, this time it's Ed's trauma (that is a recurring theme in this show huh?), Stede's extravagant fits (it's amazing), we also get some insight on what Ed was like in his prime Blackbeard days. And, the crew's growing bond which makes me smile every time they interact.
Our Flag Means [oh my god, this is happening]
Esplicito
In this episode, lives are changed (mine) cause we get to see gay people win and of course, I talk about trauma (all of these people need therapy), Ed and Stede's growing bond being noticed by the ship's couple therapist, Jim and Oluwande's care for each other, and Jim's dazzling smile that I would like to see more of next season.
Our Flag Means [the boys are back in town]
Esplicito
In this episode, I bash on Ed's poor taste in men, laugh at Calico Jack being a dick, and promote the idea of grown men sharing their feelings.
Our Flag Means [you know what i love about winning? it's when you win! i LOVE that feeling!]
Esplicito
In this episode, I rave about the second to last episode of the first season of the gay pirate show YAY S2! (full warning lots of swearing in this one)
Our Flag Means [this is why we can't have nice things]
Esplicito
In this episode, I discuss the final episode of season one of the gay pirate show (cry, scream, shake, and vomit) and evaluate how the hell I won and lost at the same time.
