like gomens s2, this was also more character focused. love the way stede has come into his own as a pirate as compared to the beginning of s1. ed's character confuses me a bit tho. i'm aware that a lot of his character is in subtext but i suck at media literacy lol. i feel like he might be uhh a depressed adhd adult lol. but it is true that stede and ed balance each other out. the most surprising part of this season was izzy. man, i felt a bit sad at his death. the crew had really come together as a family and izzy genuinely cared abt them and vice versa. loved his little monologue abt found family that he gives to ricky in the finale. i also lament buttons' absence coz he's one of my favorite characters lol. i might have a teensy tinsy thing for frenchie hehe WHAT HE'S CUTE OKAY. pretty sure he's captain of The Revenge now and honestly, i respect it. curious to see how the final season will go (edit 2025: sweet summer child i hate to shatter your dreams, but this was the end of the line).
