our flag means death is truly such an inspirational show because it gave us the most pathetic soggy little golden retriever puppy of a man who doesnt know the first thing about sailing, is scared of blood, spends half his day lounging around in a nightgown, has no respect from a single member of his crew, spent 3 whole episodes showing him bumbling his way through trying to be a pirate and failing at absolutely EVERYTHING, nearly getting killed at least twice an episode just because everyone he meets absolutely hates his vibes, just REALLY hammering home just how much of a loser this guy is, and then immediately after went "and here's the most successful and fearsome pirate in the entire world and he is absolutely totally incandescently IN LOVE WITH this guy. the rest of the show is going to be about their slowburn romance." and that's literally just so beautiful
