Framing Parallels !!
While on my second rewatch, I noticed that the way that the rowing of dinghies is framed is the same in the first episode. Obviously this makes sense because it is the same torment done to Stede as a child onto the soldier as revenge/retribution.Â
It is a centered shot with the rope clearly visible in both. The characters are trapped in this situation and have nothing to do but row. The shot gives you little else to focus on because of the sweeping movement of the oars.Â
Now this framing is used later with Ed rowing away from the dock in Episode 9. The only difference is the lack of rope, but as this framing has been used before to show a trapped character, it shows that Ed is also trapped metaphorically.Â
He is brought back from his fantasy of running away with Stede and forced to become the mask of Blackbeard again.Â
What is even more poignant is that when this cinematic language is used to show being confined, in the final scene, Stede (on a dinghy) is framed differently. He is finally free. He is not being forced to row. He is choosing to follow his heart against the expectations of society at the time.Â

Bringing these over from my twitter - OFMD + Text posts (Part 2)
Part 1
our flag means death does such a good job writing characters whose wants conflict with their needs and using that to challenge toxic masculinity
I've been thinking about this especially in the context of how the crew interacts with Stede in the first episode. The crew initially responds really poorly to him because what they Want is to live up to the standards of masculinity that they have learned (fighting, not sewing, etc etc) but over the course of the season they realize that what they Need is exactly what Stede is trying to offer them (emotional honesty and support as everyone aboard learns to let go of those expectations) and that's why the moment when the whole crew says "talk it through as a crew" with Stede is so great, because it represents a resolution to that Want/Need tension
inspiration, @jellybeanium124​, but I think Izzy would be the one to say it
