The way that Stede treated Izzy during episode 3 were some of the ONLY times I could stand seeing Izzy on screen so far this season because it finally felt like someone who recognized him and was treating him rationally tbh

I adore this show and the people who worked on it, but ffs, it feels like they all enjoyed Con too much and the Izzy-Enjoyers Fanon of his character last season and jumped the gun on his redemption arc.

I'm going to go through and explain this more, but I just wanted to put that out there first while I lay out why Stede's expressions and reactions make so much more sense coming out of season 1's events.

#Cae Has Lots of Feelings About Our Flag Means Death #I love you Jim #But Izzy was everyone's least favorite guy pre-mutiny attempt #And the crew didn't like him much even after #So why is he 'our dick' and a member of our family all of a sudden?#'Life used to mean something on this ship.'#Sure. I'll give you that. But Izzy was the guy who continuously refused to participate in that 'life that meant something' back then.#And though Ed is contributing the lion's share of abuse in S2 - it's so weird to just forgive him when no apologies have been made #Idk. I know I'm not an Izzy-Enjoyer so it's not catered to me.#I know some people are excited this is how it's working out.#Good for them.#But I really really wish we could have seen more animosity between them as he came to realize he fucked up.#As the crew came to realize he realized he fucked up and he's in a bad position too.#But we just skipped right over to 'We can give him therapy and hold his hand while he cries and save his life against our captain's orders'#It's tbh jarring and I think I'm just going to have to try and divorce Izzy S2 from Izzy S1 in my mind if I'm going to have any peace #Our Flag Means Death #OFMD #Our Flag Means Death Season 2 Spoilers #Our Flag Means Death Spoilers #OFMD Spoilers #OFMDS2 #OFMD s2 spoilers #Izzy Hands #Israel Hands #Stede Bonnet #The Gentleman Pirate #Jim OFMD #Jim Jimenez #Izzy Critical
