me: star trek is gay lol
dozens of random strange men i’ve never interacted with before in my replies:
so on the topic of the 1830s, is it the creation of the railroads, or the opium wars, or the ascent of Queen Victoria that’s got this girl so geeked? I took AP US history and even I can’t find anything remotely interesting about this time period…
people with no experience in entertainment are saying the most factually inaccurate things about how ratings work, how/why shows are renewed and how marketing campaigns work and I want to crawl out of my SKIN!! please stop believing ppl just bc they say things confidently!!
the way this is so unbelievably misleading. complex shows - esp ones with tonal shifts between seasons - need carefully considered marketing plans. marketing teams identify concerns BY DESIGN and then come up with a strategic media plan to best promote the show
#OurFlagMeansDeath's marketing was concerned about the shock of violence in the show.
Read about why here:

I feel bad for the earnest fans who are trying to get their favorite show back meanwhile they are being misled (dare I say taken advantage of) by wanna-be insider crusaders. most of the advice I’m seeing on this app is patently bad, and anyone “on the inside” would know better
okay I loved OFMD but I am once again begging strangers on the internet not to say things that are patently false to try and make a point
everyone loves those gurls that get drunk and tell you how much they love you, but I’ll be stone cold sober and wax on and on about how much I cherish and adore my friends right to your face and ngl… I think I’m doing it right…
yes I am literally begging for the return of filler episodes !!! bring them back!!!!
ofmd fans “go watch 2 min or more of an OFMD episode every day/week until it gets renewed” challenge ☠️

anyways I loved the season finale of our flag means death! at first I didn’t know how the show could move forward from there but now I’m so excited by the possibilities of a third season! The acting and writing were beautifully done and I can’t get that ending out of my head.
David Jenkins is clearly inspired by classic storytelling structure this season - it’s very Hero’s Journey and Ed is our hero. “Death of a mentor” is literally one of the steps in the journey. Izzy’s death wasn’t senseless, it’s a modern take on a very ancient way of storytelling
izzy dying is not the same as him not meaning anything to the plot. his death was VERY meaningful! these characters are surrounded by death, they’ve all seen it and they’ve all caused it. dying to protect his loved ones is perhaps the most meaningful ending he could have #ofmd
just because you dislike what happens to a character doesn’t mean it served no narrative purpose, please be so for real right now. just because it’s not what you wanted doesn’t mean it was for nothing.
relating to a character is all well and good but identifying with them so strongly that you see it as a personal attack on your identity when things happen to said character that you disagree with is actually so incomprehensible to me. #ofmd
