BLACK SAILS APPRECIATION WEEK -> day 7 – free choice
I think if you look at it in a certain light, it does look like she harmonizes with Vane and with Silver. I think it doesn’t require turning the light very much for it to look like she is in Flint’s story, that she is sort of abused and traumatized for what she is, who she is, and sort of has to figure out a way to shake her fist at civilization, but come up with different answers about how to do it. It doesn't–you don’t have to work that hard for her to look a lot like Bonny. I mean, that’s text, and in season two and three–it’s text in season four that she is literally in Eleanor’s story. She’s eight episodes behind Eleanor and living the same choose-your-adventure story and just trying to figure out how to get to a different ending. So, I do think that part of the reason she feels central to me, is because she exists in the middle of a Venn diagram in which, I think, there are meaningful pieces of everyone, and I think that’s probably part of the reason it felt right that she was the one that kind of is left standing at the end. -Jonathan Steinberg x x x
