and i was scared they WOULDN'T pull off establishing flint as a character the audience/the crew would want to follow but uh they definitely did. they absolutely did. i was joking when i was crafting a response to the episode at the beginning (as the barrel rolled up and everyone was standing in the cabin in tense silence: "haha explosive") but genuinely it is such an explosive beginning to the story. like put me in the media critic box i will write so much prose we will both turn purple it is SO INTERESTING and there are so many characters but they are all so distinct that you're able to kind of keep track.... and it's THE PILOT. I AM SO DELIGHTED BY THIS SHOW QUIL

It is! It feels like you've been dropped into the middle of the story almost, except it can be the beginning because everything can be a beginning. It could've started earlier, we could've watched these characters make themselves into who they are today (watched Flint work his way up to being the most feared pirate, watched Eleanor establish herself on Nassau, etc.) but that's not what this story is about. They've already become those people, now it's about what they do with it, that's more what the story is focusing on.

Which leaves you with a very interesting and dramatic start, because there's things to catch up on but also the present to experience, which makes for a very rich world when done right. And they did like everything right with Black Sails.

And there are so many characters who are simultaneously living very unique but connected lives! Each one is in complete service of their own story, thinking they're the main character and making choices for their own purpose. No one ever does anything because its convenient for another character's story or the plot, basically everything is a genuinely action on their part and it just makes it all the more compelling.

And that was just the pilot!! That was just the tip of the iceberg of what this show can and will do! You are about to be hit in the head with a battering ram repeatedly and you are going to love it! I am also very delighted by this show so I'm very glad you are too <33

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him
