woman just power-walked by me alongside a jogging toddler. toddler was waving at me babling "hi! hi! hi!" thought to myself, "aw what an excited, energetic baby!" then the woman stopped beside a man with a stroller and she said "this baby is GOING to sleep if it's my last dying wish" and the man said very solemnly "i'm sorry it's come to that. i'm sorry this has to be your dying wish."

I don’t know how you got a good grade in being a passenger on an airline but that’s a totally normal thing to achieve and I’m not seething with jealousy at all.

It is genuinely just so extremely compelling to watch Eleanor stab every single person who loves her in the back over and over again and then wonder why she's miserable

Her specific storyline is SO rife with tragedy it's unreal

Part of it is definitely "character as fate," we see her go through what ostensibly looks like an arc but she never really changes, she refuses to

She has always wanted a seat at the table and to be relevant and she continues trying to get that by any means necessary, betraying anyone who doesn't align with it

And all she ends up doing is losing everyone and trapping herself over and over again

It's very very good and compelling storytelling

How much ransom can be afforded for the cause? How many casualties can be tolerated for the cause? How much loss?

A cool thing that Black Sails does is have the characters’ clothing reflect the society they’re occupying or the societal role they’re trying to play. When Eleanor marries Woodes Rogers, she packs away all her clothes that are filled with bolder colours and patterns, jackets and layers, but she can’t bring herself to throw them away. When she dies, Mrs. Hudson lays them out, and you can just see what they said for Eleanor, and what she lost when she became Mrs. Rogers.

And when the characters go to Boston, how Idelle’s clothing becomes more subtle and softer. How the cut and style of Max’s dresses match Mrs. Guthrie’s, but retain the clashing and contrasting colours from Nassau. How Idelle and Max keep their hair pinned up and back. How Jack’s hair is smoother, more polished, more coiffed. How his clothes still manage to be loud and noticable but seem more washed out in the cold, northern winter than when they do in Nassau.

They stand out, but they don’t. They become part of the environment, but not quite.
