#alright might delete this later because I avoid discourse for the most part#so#while I feel a lot of things this season would have worked better with some more breathing room#I’m happy with all the story beats they chose to play this season#i saw a take that was basically ‘Izzy mirrored Ed’s relationship to the toxic masculinity of the pirating world’#’he was tormented by it in the first season and then in the second it softened and died’#and I think that works pretty well symbolically#a lot of people are trying to analyze the show as if these are real people being put through real things#when at they end of the day they are characters representing symbols and ideas and pieces of real people#basically I’ve seen a few people saying that Izzy’s death negates the theme of this show being queer love and joy#and that really annoyed me because I don’t think it’s true#and I think in a show with so many queer characters you can give them room to explore one dying#I feel like if we’d had more time it could have been more nuanced and we could have seen more of the characters reactions#but we had 4hrs total of television this season#and they had so much story they wanted to tell#and I feel like they also wanted to make sure things were resolved in case they didn’t get renewed#and that means they had to put in the beats they felt were most important#without a lot of room to breathe between those beats#so in conclusion i liked this season#i really wish we had more of it#but I appreciate what we have#and I hope we get a s3
