BLACK SAILS 2.08 “XVI.” 4.10 “XXXVIII.”

When Captain Flint first arrived on this island, he gained influence faster than any man I'd seen before, or since. I heard men say it was because of the violence. I heard them say it was his charm. But it was clear to me the reason why he was so good at bending men towards his will was he knew the power of a story and how to harness it to his own ends. That man there, I would argue, may very well be his equal.

someone write a 50 page psychoanalytical essay about eleanor guthrie so i don't have to. about her rotating list of uncomfortably eroticized paternal figures & the chokehold they have on her & how she can never fully be close to any of them although she wants to (especially flint) & her unconscious repression of self & her unending need for approval and recognition etc etc etc and how its poetic that she died in the 2nd spanish raid of nassau when her mother died in the first and so she was literally disconnected from maternal influence by the invasion of violent men in more ways than one since she was pregnant when she died - & how she dies as a heroine saving the life of another woman when she couldnt save herself and her potential daugher - & how she dies in flints arms never getting to tell him all she feels or thinks but how they have a silent understanding & how flint has known her since she was an adolescent and saw her grow up and how she's one of the only people he ever smiles at or talks to with respect and how miranda told eleanor that "i feel like we're old friends . . . james talks about you all the time" and also about how they almost kissed when flint was drunk but then he kissed her on the forehead and left because he didn't want to jeopardize their existing dynamic and knew she had an unhealthy relationship with men as it was... and how...

I was off today so I decided to watch "ST IV: The Voyage Home"

I was not expecting to love that movie as much as I did. I knew it was gonna be good (I don't think I can form a bad opinion of any TOS content) but it was just. so lighthearted and chaotic in such a Star Trek way.

And I did cry (I've cried on all the TOS movies). The reveal NCC-1701-A at the end was so emotional because even though I've seen the other variations of the Enterprise, having the TOS crew get their baby back was so nice. The original Enterprise will always hold a special place in my heart, no matter how much I get into TNG.

I'm also SUPER GLAD that Kirk was demoted. Everytime his rank of Admiral was mentioned I think of a fanfiction that held the line "ground him and call it an honor" (I don't recall which fanfic, but I'll have to find it). Kirk belongs to the stars, and taking him away too soon was so wrong. You could see in TMP that he wanted a captaincy back so much and I'm eternally relieved that we got at least one movie where he is, again, Captain Kirk

Onto the next one!

Eleanor: "It was not your decision to make. My life is my own. It's not Benjamin Hornigold's, it's not Charles Vane's, it's not my father's, and it's not yours. Do you understand?"

Mr. Scott: You're right. I'm sorry.

Eleanor: And what? Now you think you can just waltz back in here and pick up from where we left off like nothing happened?

Mr. Scott: Where else would I go? I belong to you. Chattel property of the Guthrie estate.
