#maybe that undercuts the 'satisfying emotional beat' of pretending injuries are real for the only time in your entire show?

And fuck people are already starting to be insufferable about "sometimes people die in tv shows, god, these whiny children" and like. I love a good character death beat? I enjoyed Black Sails way more than OFMD and my favorite character in the cast of doomed characters was the most blatantly signaled dead man walking of them all?

And when he died I was distraught but also TWICE as motivated to finish the show because Vane's death was thee mic drop moment of his arc?

I can handle people killing my favorite character, lol, but maybe the romcom with hijinks and muppet logic just really sucked at delivering a satisfying death beat because they aren't actually an intense, emotional pirate drama and the episode just kinda sucked all around???
