Omgggggg it’s out don’t panic everyone.

Hey everyone, here are the results to the survey. I'll post it on the next Hunter x Hunter reaction too so that everyone can see it. We had 74 unique voters before the poll was closed, thanks again to everyone who took part. I'd love to do another one of these down the line as I had a blast collecting the data. Perhaps a survey on a big list of shows the girls haven't seen yet that you'd love them to react to, favourite shows outside of the channel, or maybe even when one of the main shows ends a survey asking about your favourite characters/seasons/plotlines etc. from that series. The results are ordered in ascending order by each show's score out of 10. I've also included the viewership-percentage next to the score so you can see how many of us have acutally seen each show in question. Well, without further ado, here are the results! #27 The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power [3.82/10] (41%) #26 Cyberpunk: Edgerunners [6.25/10] (67%) #25 Vikings [6.82/10] (51%) #24 Death Note [7.11/10] (90%) #23 Midnight Mass [7.12/10] (36%) #22 Invincible [7.15/10] (70%) #21 The Legend Of Korra [7.19/10] (61%) #20 Violet Evergarden [7.29/10] (64%) #19 The Haunting Of Bly Manor [7.38/10] (31%) #18 The Boys [7.49/10] (70%) #17 The Last Of Us [7.60/10] (81%) #16 House Of The Dragon [7.77/10] (63%) #15 The Expanse [7.80/10] (44%) #14 El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie [7.85/10] (60%) #13 The Bear [8.06/10] (50%) #12 The Haunting Of Hill House [8.17/10] (42%) #11 Band Of Brothers [8.32/10] (47%) #10 Arcane [8.47/10] (74%) #09 Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood [8.52/10] (82%) #08 The Wire [8.62/10] (49%) #07 Mr. Robot [8.69/10] (69%) #06 Mob Psycho 100 [8.79/10] (63%) #05 Attack On Titan [8.95/10] (94%) #04 Vinland Saga [9.16/10] (83%) #03 Better Call Saul [9.18/10] (64%) #02 Avatar: The Last Airbender [9.26/10] (71%) #01 Breaking Bad [9.36/10] (83%) And there you have it! The highest rated series is Breaking Bad with a 9.36 out of 10, whilst the highest viewed show is Attack On Titan with a 94% viewership rate. If you would like to view graphs detailing how each series was voted upon, a downloadable spreadsheet of the raw numbers, and more data regarding location breakdown and how the responses changed over time, you can find it all on the survey channel of the Discord https://discord.com/invite/4fp375Am

1x06 First Impressions - Poor Max :( I hate seeing her sad, even if it's just for a second. - A crewman questioning Billy Biceps on the trustworthiness of Flint as a captain, tragic irony there. - Gates getting the black slave to go down into the ship for the bomb run is understandable but still totally gross. Those poor people have already had their bodies and souls so exploited at this point, it's awful to see it all happen again regardless of circumstances. - Doubting Barlow. BB is good to start asking questions but the fact that it's at the front of the episode, done so bluntly, and the conversation with Gates is immediately followed by the shot of Flint looking as intimidating as possible, is very concerning for BB here. Directorially this was great by the way, legit looks out of a graphic novel the way it was presented. - Scott's reluctance to take part... God, it's fucking horrible to watch the slip into pessimism, if not complete fatalist nihilism. Very interesting to see how for him, his relationship with El serves as a focal point for his freedom as a black man at this point in time in history. - The juxtaposition of Scott in actual chains with Lilywhite talking about "being slaves" is brilliant writing. I don't need to elaborate on that. - I'm paraphrasing but the detailing of how El is weighing up the options of total disorder vs. her swallowing her pride is great exposition for the audience. - Sooooooo looking forward to Hamund dying. - Okay, so, at this particular juncture I have to say that Anne Bonny is my least favourite thing of the show. I really hope we get further development for her that goes beyond her just fucking snarling. Maybe it's this particular plot point, it could possibly be the actor, but honest to god if you were to put a gun to my head I would say that she's just chewing the scenery a bit too much. We get it, your a tough bitch that no on can fuck with, that's awesome, but at a particular point it just really comes across as over the top. That being said, for something as small as *that* to be my biggest gripe thus far is a sign of this being otherwise a great show. - The intercutting of Miranda's letter about Flint with the attempt to ambush Bryson on the ship is great writing. As aforementioned in the previous episode's reaction, Flint's character is a great archtype of the paradox of "fighting for peace", or more specifically, engaging in piracy in ordeal to meet an end-goal of a peaceful life. He's trying to leave 'the game', so to speak, and there will be no doubt countless transgressions against his ethics before that goal is met, were it to be met at all. And then of course you have the dramatic irony of BB, who's caught in the position of having to publicly show trust in the least trustworthy person on the entire ship. - Goddamn the lighting during this scene on the ship is delicious! The show has great visual splendor. "Get me another plan" with the halo-effect surrounding his whole body looks fantastic.      - This quick scene of Bryson holding the steel tongs with the rope, a good set-up for a future plot point that I missed the first time around. - Poor BB. I can totally ID with where he's coming from, but the episode sets him up as doomed and naive when I don't think he's either of those things necessarily, it's just a complicated web he's caught in. - Miranda and Pastor Lambrick, I'm not entirely sure what this storyline is trying to signify if I'm honest. Someone else can perhaps enlighten me on that. I'm not sure if there's anything significant we're learning about Miranda's character as a result of him existing, but again it could very well be a case of it being right in front of me and I'm not seeing it. - At this particular juncture, I'm unsure as to whether or not Anne has an underlying motive, or this is instead to be taken on face value that she sincerely wants to help Max at all costs. I mean, it's not to say that she doesn't already hold feelings of distain toward's Vane's crew, but nonetheless I'm unsure as to just how altruistic her motives are in seeking El's help here, or if she is indeed thinking three moves ahead about something else entirely. As for El, well, we know exactly how well at this point she'll stick to her guns once she has her mind made up on something. Her recent backpeddling on the embargo hasn't changed her overnight. - Excellent play her by El in her conversation with Silvy, again it's a great testament to writing how actions and scenes have consequences to the larger story. - Very interesting that we're getting morsels of Miranda's backstory piece by piece. When Miranda spoke of Pastor's shame, was she merely referring to his sexual repression? - Likewise, the scene where Logan challenges Flint directly whilst throwing BB into the strafe is equally interesting. The show is doing a great episode of piling on the paranoia from Flint against BB. Likewise, Gates was clever to assuage the potential conflict between Flint and BB, knowing full well that BB is very much at risk of getting himself killed for being too outspoken. - We already know at this point that the slaves are gonna be freed but it's still such an awful thing to have to imagine those poor people going through. - "You and I, we are both in this hold, but we are not in the same place". Damn, Scott is 100% going to end up being a character I love if they choose to keep him for future seasons. - The tension and resulting pay-off in the slaves escaping scene is very cathartic. You can tell that it's going to be Scott to the rescue a mile off (deliberately, of course), and it still packs an emotional punch to see it actually happen. I'm so glad that Scott strangles him when he does, I don't think any of us need any detaling what that white guy had in mind... - The juxtaposition of the crew saying "Heave" and Scott breaking the chains is a nice follow-on from 1x04 when we see the hacking of the ropes against the hacking of Randall's leg. - Goddamn, seeing the slaveowners getting massacared was all kinds of cathartic, especially when the slaves and our crew join forces. - Up until this point I didn't realise that Jack and Anne were 'together' together. Go figure. - The cut from the scene of Jack being set up to El holding her drink and looking out the window gave me horrible flashbacks to Cersei in Game Of Thrones. She was my favourite character in Game Of Thrones, and they did her so dirty. Fuck you DnD, if either of you two are reading this. - That scene between Scott and Flint, I'm not too sure what to make of it. Is Flint just hearing the sound of his own voice to psyche himself up, or does he genuinely wish to prove something to Scott? Either way, it's two of the best written characters in the show conversing and I'm totally here for it. - BB saying "Then get some answers" to Gates, I'm not 100% sure what he meant by that. Did he just mean something to the effect of "If you're going to accuse me of having loose lips, you better have something to back up your argument."? - A bit farfetched that Scott and the slave girl didn't do anything about the rigged powder-kegs when the writing made a clear point of her *noticing* it was rigged. Did I pick this up wrong? - Ooft, that scene with BB and Flint on the side of the boat, where you don't want the bad thing to happen but you know it will :( Likewise, I'm sad for Billy as he obviously knows whats just transpired. - Give whoever writes Jack's dialogue a raise. The man is intimidatingly articulate. - Ohhhh okay we're going full Cersei with El this sequence, aren't we? - I'm getting quite used to having one of the characters provide exposition for why another character behaves the way that they do. I can't really call it 'dumbing down the show' for the audience because more often than not it takes me the second viewing to catch these things anyways :') - Yayyy, Hammund is dead! - Again, Poor Max :( I'mma take care of you birdie... - Was the "I didn't do it for you" line all that necessary? Sorry to be picking on Anne so much, but it would have been stronger had she had locked eyes with Max for a second and then walked away. - I'm not that concerned about Billy. Even if it weren't obvious that the show wouldn't kill off a character that developed off-screen like that, his biceps alone would have helped him survive. They're basically just big armbands. - Oooooooh, that scene with Anne and Jack is great establishment for Anne and (presumably) El knowing something we don't know about Vane. - The last scene with Vane, I'm going to withold from thinking too hard on it. I kind of like the idea of being totally surprised (curious to see what the girls think it means, all the same).

Just woke up! Get ready for a bunch of my comments, like always. :)

cosmotron

We open not where we left off, but with Max. She looks out of her tent and sees Anne waiting there. She doesn’t look over at Max, doesn’t say anything, but she’s clearly there as a warning to any who approach. And it allows Max to lay back down, not comforted or assured exactly, but still a little better knowing that Anne is there as a warning sign. “Get it through the murder hole and take cover.” It’s wild that they were actually called murder holes, though it makes sense. But it really feels awful watching this guy try and fail, especially since he realizes he’s failed and is about to die. Then, there’s Mr. Scott in the slave hold. It’s a detail that says a lot about his life that he understands the language being spoken. And how much he’s slipped into nihilism about his situation is both heartbreaking and honestly makes sense. “There are weapons on this ship…that are very dangerous to someone I love.” Bs pbhefr, jr pna nccyl guvf yngre gb npghnyyl or nobhg Znqv, juvpu znxrf frafr. Ur jbhyq abg jnag fuvcf jvgu gubfr xvaqf bs thaf gb or erthyneyl unatvat nebhaq va gur nernf arne Anffnh. And of course there’s the very intentional cut from the actual slaves to another man ranting about them “being made slaves” by Eleanor. Eleanor makes her choice. And it’s clear how reluctantly she made it. Hammond continues to be the worst ever. Anne is there waiting outside Max’s tent trying to protect her, but there’s several men there and it’s entirely possible she would be overpowered. And Jack makes it clear he is scared Anne will end up in a position similar to Max. Demonstrating that, despite being on the same crew, she would still be treated differently than a man on the crew doing what she has done.

Really like reading your thoughts, as usual! I can’t talk much about Anne, but I will say that rewatching the show after you understand her character more brings a lot to what you see of her here. First time through I had somewhat similar opinions on Anne - not as strongly, but I didn’t feel like there was a lot to her. Rewatching now I’m able to get a lot more from her and the choices the actress is making. So, I don’t think you’re meant to see much beyond Anne’s snarl yet. After all, that’s certainly all she wants the world around her to see.

cosmotron

Billy finally opens the letter. Miranda writes for the sake of herself and Flint, to gain themselves pardons. She claims he wishes to repent, is a good and decent man, and it’s very clear that she did not realize the potential danger she was placing Flint in by writing this. The previous episodes have shown how lonely and desperate she has become, how she knows Flint will not be talked into walking away from the path he has chosen. So she’s trying to force him onto another path anyway, and likely felt she had few other options (again, especially with him being so unwilling to change his own plans). Gates’s reaction to Billy showing him the letter is pretty funny. “It says ‘betrayal’.” “I can see that. What do you want me to do about it now?” This conversation about Mrs. Barlow clearly doesn’t go where Billy hopes it will: if anything, Gates doesn’t seem particularly phased about Billy’s questions. Or at least he is much more focused on the task at hand. What he says makes sense though. They are in a very dire situation, and the letter has no bearing on whether they make it out alive. If anything it would decrease their chances of the crew became more distrustful, and they need to be able to act when it counts. Not be distracted by someone they “know nothing about” as Gates says. Still, you can tell it just barely placates Billy. Pastor Lambrick comes riding up to Miranda’s house. He says that Miranda won’t be safe from Flint, but Miranda seems quite unconcerned. “You do not understand any of this,” She says, and that much is quite obvious. She talks about Thomas with Lambrick, describing an intelligent and kind man who was interested in philosophy and ideas. We’ve seen this is the kind of thing Miranda enjoys as well, as she tries very desperately to hold on to some piece of it here. “From a desire to see the yoke of shame lifted from your shoulders.” Shame. Heard that word a lot so far in this show, haven’t we? Miranda says that she and Thomas were happy. She doesn’t mention an affair with Flint or anything like that, and instead says that Flint is her “deliverer”. Miranda then confronts the Pastor about why he is truly there, and it’s something that’s been clear since his first interaction with her, when he ogled her while she was reciting scripture. She wants him to at least be honest about it, and on top of that is clearly quite lonely. In addition, it’s been shown from when she was reading scripture that Miranda has a different view of sex than many in the time period would. She views it as a perfectly normal way to express love, and not something to be couched in shame. Miranda is an educated and intelligent woman, one who knows how to appear the picture of the perfect lady of the time period. AND she’s also clearly a very sexual person. These things aren’t shown to be mutually exclusive. Zvenaqn npghnyyl znxrf zr guvax bs yvxr 'serr ybir' zbirzragf bs gung gvzr crevbq.

Appreciate the work TD. I'm honestly surprised by some results, I would have never expected for Edgerunners, Vikings and HotD to have such low scores while, in my opinion, Arcane is very overrated (speaking in general, not only in this survey).

MrGuy3000

I haven’t rewatched blacksails in a while I forgot how much I love Eleanor

Melkor
>>126640250

Only ones I highly disagree on are HotD (it’s too low) and edge runner also too low. I otherwise mostly agree with the list. Breaking bad however is not the one I think is the best on the list.

cosmotron

“Good evening, cunt.” Why do I feel like that’s a typical greeting from Anne Bonny haha. But she does resent Eleanor, and it’s not really surprising considering she’s been a part of Vane’s crew for a while, and Eleanor hasn’t favored that crew in some time. And despite that she still came to Eleanor in order to form this plan. “You said my plan was too dangerous.” “Your plan isn’t dangerous enough.” I love that exchange. Because Eleanor has realized the truth: they have to kill not just Hammund, but eight men. I also like what Anne says about how differently Max is viewed because she is a woman. Eleanor isn’t a beloved figure on the island, even if everyone wants to be on her good side. So Anne is right that normally they would have toasted someone telling Eleanor to “fuck off” as it were…if that person were a man, that is. But Max isn’t. And Eleanor’s conversation with Silver in the office is great too. The way she asks him for help, the way she marks it clear to Silver that making a deal with her and doing as she asks is in his best interest…it’s all so well done. “Because of your tone, I am disinclined to be so generous. Now you’ll have to beg.” Great stuff, and very convincing. In just a few episodes we have seen her grow more into this role.

cosmotron

Gates punching Logan is really funny, but his words after really underscore his point. They cannot afford to be breaking apart right now. They need to function as a crew, and that means putting trust in their captain to get them through this. For a moment it seems like Mr. Scott has completely sided against the other enslaved people…aaand then he comes up behind one of the soldiers and strangles him with the chains that have been keeping them imprisoned. And the team up between the slaves and the pirates is so satisfying. It highlights a difference in the way the captains/crews handled the situation. Bryson without hesitation killed two enslaved people (one to threaten the other to sacrifice themselves), using them purely for his own gain without remorse. But Flint and his crew ally with the enslaved people instead, and they work together to take the ship and defeat Captain Bryson. So much for his perfect record. Though of course, there is still one trap left that our characters don’t yet know about. Anne put a lot of trust in Jack to know he wouldn’t reveal her ruse once he’d caught on to what was happening. Of course, with what we have seen so far it’s not surprising, but it still underlines how much they rely on each other. It’s interesting that Flint chooses to not make an example out of Scott, despite Scott’s choices being a big part of why they had to chase this ship at all. Instead, he wants to prove Scott wrong. Prove that his and Eleanor’s goals will happen.

cosmotron

When Billy and Flint are discussing the letter, it’s really interesting that he says “I think you know what was in it.” Because the truly hilarious thing is, Flint genuinely has no idea what was in the letter! Billy isn’t wrong about his assessment of Flint in a lot of ways, but he has misunderstood the situation. Flint doesn’t know anything about this. Of course, it’s pretty clear that nothing Flint could say in that moment would convince Billy otherwise, because it would still seem like a lie. Then of course comes the moment where Billy fell. Or was pushed, depending on what you think. It’s another moment where the show deliberately cuts away and does not show us what happened. Flint is certainly capable of pushing Billy, but did he? Well…I’ll be curious to see what people think, and will continue to talk about this going forward. It’s an echo of what happened with Morely, but the possibility that Flint caused this is made far more likely. At the same time, there are a lot of similarities to that situation. It would have been very difficult for Flint to hold on himself, let alone try to push Billy. Of course, there is the possibility that he didn’t literally push Billy. Perhaps he simply didn’t try to catch him when he slipped. Or you could argue that his questioning distracted Billy, and even indirectly caused him to fall. Or, again, perhaps Billy just fell. Because it was slippery and they were in a terrible situation and men falling overboard happens. And while it is true that Billy disappearing would help Flint in the short term (get him to stop talking about the letter) it doesn’t help in the long term, because of how suspicious it looks. Flint is equally capable of lashing out in emotion as he is in making a calculated choice. So, in that moment, what was Flint more likely to do? We can’t really know. The show doesn’t let us see it here. And we can only take what happens going forward.

cosmotron

“You had your say. Now I’ll have mine.” Hell yeah Anne. WOOO Hammund is dead and will not be missed! Seeing Anne stab him was undeniably satisfying. STAB HIM MORE ANNE. The way this is all cut together is very well done too, I love it. Eleanor looking out the window as it happens, knowing what she’s done… “Nobody fucks with you and gets away with it.” It certainly makes that statement, doesn’t it? And John admitting he isn’t sure if he should be more scared of Flint or Eleanor…yeah, that says a lot too. Max’s slow walk back up the brothel stairs gives me a lot of feelings. She thanks Anne, but Anne insists she “didn’t do it for her”, and almost recoils when Max holds her hand. Fbzrbar fher pna’g qrny jvgu gur SRRYVATF n gbhpu sebz Znk tvirf ure. Of course, there was a measure of guilt there for Anne as well. And that last lingering shot of Max in her room, right back where she started after everything, is pretty heartbreaking. Much as it’s good to have her out of the situation she was in, this still hurts. To imagine everything that had happened in that room the last time she was in it…the loving morning with Eleanor and then the heartbreak with her later. She could have been free. But now she’s here again. Caught in this trap of sand. But then…she is still alive. She survived. And she will face the days ahead. “I told her that given a choice between them and me, you’d choose me.” “That’svery fucking touching.” lol, both funny and sweet. We end on Vane arriving at an unfamiliar island. As he approaches, the man he has been dreaming/hallucinating about is sitting there in front of a fire, as if waiting for him. What an episode! Can’t wait for the next ones! We are so close to the end of the season now. It really flies by, especially since the first season only has eight episodes.

>>126652117

I’m still not sure even tho I’ve seen the show if Billy fell or was pushed lol.

Wanda Did Nothing Wrong

I love so much that they’re on opposite sides of the great “did he fall or was he pushed” debate. Hearing Miranda talk about Thomas hurts my feelings. I can’t wait for the full backstory to unfold. It’s going to be so traumatic for them 😃

Wanda Did Nothing Wrong
>>126652117

That man fell and no one will ever convince me otherwise. Not even if Flint himself told me he did it would I believe him. I have planted myself upon this hill and I shall die on it lol

Can't overlook that Korra has a higher watch rate than many of the shows above it. I think it's doing well, considering

Gustavo
>>126640287

Since the first time I watched the show, Eleanor was the only one I didn't care much about, actually kind of found her boring most of the time. Maybe because she is the only one trying to be something she is not. My feelings towards her changed to something else in the end, but that's a conversation for another time.

Gustavo

Can't wait for next episode, and for them to know about Vane's past.

Scott

Looking back at season 1 as someone who's seen the entire show multiple times, it really does almost feel like a rough draft prologue rather than a fully-formed season. For better or worse, the writers decided to keep most of their cards close to the vest throughout the first season and basically only give the audience bread crumbs in terms of plot and character. That likely hurt the show's ability to build an audience because most viewers don't have the patience to stick around for a 2nd season of a show that's not hooking them, but in terms of the show's storytelling, that type of patient, foundation-laying approach really allowed season 2 to take off in a rocket ship (or a cannon hehe) T

Gustavo
>>126677270

I agree. I mean, I like season 1, but from season 2 the show really takes off. Of all the shows that I've watched, I can never pinpoint an episode that from that moment on, if the person is not hooked yet, I can safely say that they can drop the show. Black Sails is the only show that I have that moment pinpointed, and it's season 2 finale. After watching that episode, if you are still not hooked, I can safely say that you can drop the show.

cosmotron

Now that I've watched the reaction and am listening to the discussion I can make more comments! As far as what Billy knew of Flint's plan, you're both kind of right. Flint discussed wanting to build a stable Nassau more in depth with Eleanor (that's where he discussed Odysseus and wanting to walk away from the sea). With Billy he talked about the war coming from civilization, that "means to make us monsters." Yay you got Gates' name right! I'm glad you guys got there eventually haha. Zvyran pbzzragvat gung Znk naq Naar jbhyq znxr n phgr pbhcyr...gurl'er cvpxvat hc ba gur purzvfgel nyernql! Gurer ner npghnyyl bgure uvagf rira rneyvre gbb.

I think the show intentionally makes both equally possible, and in a sense equally true. It's just as likely he had something to do with it as he didn't, and without seeing it we can't actually know. And the show of course deliberately cuts away so we DON'T see it. This story loves its ambiguity, and it's fascinating.

cosmotron

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate the lighting in this episode? The show always looks great but it's become so common now for dark scenes in TV shows to be literally unwatchable. The night scenes here look amazing.

cosmotron

I really really can't wait for Lola and MIlena to learn more about these characters. I love hearing them talk about them already, and once they learn more...oh it'll be great.

Yeah their discussion about both of those was really great. I seriously can't wait for them to learn more.

cosmotron
>>126652117

I love how ambiguous it is! The show often makes deliberate choices to not tell the audience something, and simply have them have to choose what to believe (much like the other characters in the story do). We, like Flint's crew, don't/can't know what really happened with Billy. We just have to judge what we think happened based on what we have seen of Flint...and of course, that doesn't exactly clear up matters. There's no doubt Flint is capable of such a thing. But did he do it in this moment? We don't know. I tend to also lean toward he didn't, but the ambiguity is very interesting to me.

Nyeisha Melvina Clark

This was my favorite episode of Season 1. It was nothing but tension and anxiety and me sitting on the edge of my seat the entire episode. I LOVED the slave revolt and loved seeing Captain Bryson pay the price for his cruelty. I also loved seeing Max FINALLY be freed, and yes like you ladies, this was the episode that convinced me I was going to love Jack and Anne and their dynamic as well. Silver is very smart and he does know how to read people and correctly assess a situation, it makes him so interesting and I love watching him call people out, his describing of Eleanor was literally right down to a T, it was perfect. I am very happy to see you ladies enjoy it as much as you do and trust me, if you enjoy it this much already when we aren't even at the peak of this show yet, you guys will absolutely be floored with the rest of the series.

Billy is an idealist while Gates is a realist. Billy wants to confront Flint because that's the right thing to do. Gates knows that would be the right thing to do but he understands what comes after that confrontation might not be the best outcome.
