The performance aspect of "I am your king" and then at a whistle - the reason you don't do it in theatres, the signal for a scene change - the sail-curtain drops it is a PLAY this is THEATRE

"max is your harbour" vs "this place is just sand"

Silver literally only GETS a place on the ship by virtue of the death of another man who couldn't survive losing a leg it's like. Its like. This story tells and tells and tells itself and if Duffy cannot become The Figure Of Long John Silver then it simply scoops up another guy and it is only because he's such a fighter such a slippery and determined survivor that Silver is destroyed by it

I was gonna make a comment on how Flint's first act in this show is not to enact violence but to prevent it except I was so overcome with lust at the very first sight of him that it knocked my brain out and I had to go make a coffee

This first episode IS a comedy Flint and Billy are on the worst road trip with dad's boyfriend they've ever been on in their lives

Maybe when captain Flint gets here god the way before he's even thought of his own name to lie about Silver is already aligning himself with the Idea of Flint, is speaking For him in his absence...
