One of my fav lines of the whole series. Muah, perfect, no notes.

I love it too, but I don't think it was silly, at this point Ed thought Stede was dead so it's understandable he reacted that way.

He yelled in happiness because he didn’t expected how lovely it could be when stede mentioned to him about the letters.

I think the scream was one of happiness, but the anger on his face is because he fears Stede is dead.

@@liol3409yeah there are unshed tears in his eyes he thinks Stede is dead

I could be remembering this wrong but was The Revenge docked when Ed threw his leathers overboard? I remembered the ‘docking’ remark. Ever so glad he managed to find them 🤤

And he can change into soggy leathers under water! Go get your man Ed! ❤😂❤

@@dorothyjohnstone9618 and has an inner gps to find Stede ❤️😭😭😭

They all navigate by gaydar.

I'm not good with killing and violence AT ALL, there's already too much of it in the fucking real world. I wish they would just make love. But well ... the happiness on Ed's face when he reads Stede's letter to him is worth millions. Like the sun's rising. I'm perfectly good with that, and that they're opting for inn-keeping at the end.

WHY is no one talking more about Ed coming up out of the water?? Thank you for saying something! It IS art.

I agree! The (often) ridiculous & exaggerated violence reminds you that it’s a show about outcasts who live this dangerous lifestyle and form lovely relationships anyways. I also don’t understand how people don’t remember the violence in season 1 and somehow thought this show was somehow violence free

Like a kraken.......

​@@acetheist3932if you listen, you can hear the Swede singing the siren song from season one as The Kraken returns.

...He had a boat.

Exactly my thoughts. Thought he would have put them on the boat. Still putting on leather pants must be nightmare when you are wet 😂. But the scene is literal 🔥

@@ZS-gd9zh But he didn’t come out of the boat.

@Saspharuss He probably ditched it after putting his clothes on. And why would he even bring the boat to the beach?

This would have been brilliant tbh

He's dissociating during that moment. Just like he's done in the past. I think it's a really important moment and shows how affected he is at seeing the destruction and thinking he lost everyone - particularly Stede.

i had this exact thought when he pulls his outfit out of the ocean. Like how tf did he find that? ...oh yeah, Buttons exists so nevermind lmao.

Unfortunately the plot is rushed due to only 8 episodes instead of 10 like in season 1. But I don’t blame David Jenkins etc, he did his best with the time he got - but it’s always all about money (budget) and that sucks 😣

@@stefanieschneider1416 Yes I agree. One thing is to use fantastic situations or make deliberate anachronies to make the story more poetic. Another thing is not having enough episodes so that the characters' actions develop in the appropriate time and do not lose credibility. Unfortunately this is an underrated show. At least we had a second season.

Ofmd is not THAT serious you guys 😂

You also forgot how ed finds the leather suit he threw into the sea and puts it on immediately 😂

Archaic and epic, like a Sea-god rising ... very impressive scene! Though rather improbable🙃

I yelled out loud in my living room!

I'm in love with you

Do you know what’s amazing? It’s the same song the Swede was singing during the Fuckery in season 1 when Ed had a flashback to killing his father and called himself the Kraken.

@@andreab7445 ohmygod you're right!!!! I just saw that scene and it's the same motif, I can't believe I missed that its a super cool detail. Thank you!!!

@@andreab7445 I wish it was part of the official soundtrack/score 😭😭😭

Yeah, I’m not sure if it’s been uploaded mixed anywhere but it’s the song Voi Che Sapete combined with Humble Wanderers by Mark Mothersbaugh who composes all of the original music for the show and he put it on Spotify under his name

@@andreab7445 woww omg thank you!! it's such a beautiful mixing...

The latter, basically that they have invisible emotional tattoos of each other's names.

I'm going to guess that "tattoo" sounded too funny in that context.

it's just a very simple yet sweet metaphor

It’s like “You’ve left a permanent imprint on my heart.” They don’t have actual tattoos of each other’s names. Probably.

It was a metapher

I believe older. I know the actor is 8 years older.

in the show, izzy hands is older than ed. however, his real life incarnation was a teenager. he was seventeen.

ed can read! he had to read his card in the episode where they went to that fancy party to find his seat . it was even in cursive!!

@@WORMPRIEST In episode 01x09 he signs the act of grace with a cross. That's not something a person who can read would do.

@@chiarardn2401 In real life, Blackbeard could actually read and write and I think the X is also a way of an indigenous person saying they had to sign it under pressure. I seem to remember someone else commenting that.

@@WORMPRIEST I've just gone and rewatched s01e05 to check: Ed didn't read that card, Stede read it to him!

​@@supernaturalhunter1352 I do know that the actual historical Blackbeard was likely a wealthy, educated man, able to read and write. However, OFMD went in a completely different direction and showed him to have been a destitute child growing up with an alcoholic father and a mother who was struggling just to put food on the table. Growing up in such a family, he probably would have had no access to education. Besides, in s01e05 (the one where they go to the fancy party with all those nobles) Ed is shown as very keen to know what the written invitation says, but doesn't actually read the invitation: Stede reads it to him. In s01x09 he signs with a cross (no way that has anything to do with having to sign under duress). That's something that only a person who can't write would do.

People assumed he was illiterate because he signed the Act of Grace with an X but what they don't know is that indigenous people used to sign with an X to show that they signed under duress. Also Ed read his name and found his seat at the table in S1.

@@ZS-gd9zh true! good point. I guess I assumed because of that one like where Lucius says "I'm the only one who can read" but now that I think about it Ed wasn't there yet

When did y'all decide he couldn't read?

@@ZS-gd9zh When he signed the Act of Grace in season 1, with an X though, that only shows that he cannot write...still, the two usually go together

@lilivanessi I heard indigenous people signed with a cross to show that they were doing it under duress. If I remember correctly, Ed read his name and sat at the correct place at the table (S1 Boat party).

​@@6Darkest6Angel6 I did not know this. Love that detail!
