Our Flag Means Death Season 2 could have easily brought Stede and Ed back together, but it slow-burns the characters' reunion to the show's benefit.
The Big Picture Tropes are tropes for a reason: when done with clever forethought, they're a comforting delight. As with anything recycled a hundred times over, however, there are the Bad Tropes; the "please, beloved media, don't fall into that lazy writing trap." One of these Bad Tropes surrounds break-ups. When a series separates its main romantic couple, the split tends to lack lasting consequences or finds itself resolved altogether too quickly.
Then the Season 1 finale ate fans' dreams for breakfast. Shattering a happy couple usually means drama for drama's sake; said decisions aren't concerned with character growth or arc resolution. Not only are those the express purposes behind Stede and Ed's split, Our Flag Means Death Season 2 forces us to witness all the bloody misery, psychologically vivisecting both characters.
‘Our Flag Means Death’s Love Story Has Always Been Vulnerable Underneath the quirky pirate shenanigans, Our Flag Means Death deconstructs childhood trauma: the ricochet effects on individuals' lives and how courageous and healing it is to give and receive emotional vulnerability. Ed views himself as a monster, and this inherent belief in his unlovable irredeemablity, seemingly confirmed by Stede's abandonment, manifests outward into trying to burn down the world.

Historic start to the season for the Dolphins' offense means little to coach Mike McDanielThe Miami Dolphins have set a record for total yards of offense through five games of an NFL season. But that doesn't mean coach Mike McDaniel or his players are satisfied. McDaniel knows the Dolphins haven't reached their ceiling, and continued improvement is necessary if the team wants to make a deep playoff run. During their 31-16 win over the undermanned New York Giants on Sunday, the Dolphins had some offensive miscues that could be a problem against a tougher opponent. Tua Tagovailoa threw
