The fact this is actually is a log of the crew, what they did, etc, with dates & in accurate Mandarin, is just one of many incredible blink and you’ll miss it details, that are designed to be discovered on repeat watchings. It’s why
#OurFlagMeansDeath
needs to be saved.

Irish grammar, spellings, and pronunciations aren’t the same as English, because it’s a different language. Would you expect Spanish or Italian names, for example, to obey the same rules as English?
@planetjedward
It makes me laugh! All these high and mighty flag botherers trying to school you on “what Churchill did for you”...but as Irish people you know damned well “what Churchill did for you” and it’s not something they’d want to be proud of!
Someone in IG comments literally told me I was sad for having watched OFMD 10 times (that I admitted anyway). Don’t people watch films on repeat? Or read books over and over? Or is this just ND stuff I don’t know

Imagine being 17 years old on what you thought was a talent show, thinking it was all fine, singing several different songs, with the judges & audience liking it, then being edited to look like they thought you were crap. Simon’s shirt even changed during their audition episode!
Hi
@AppleTV
! What I love about your shows is that you value quality over quantity. You’re a discerning network, and all your shows are beautifully made. Please consider taking on
#OurFlagMeansDeath
- it’s the perfect match for you!

I’m a cis het woman and I wholeheartedly disagree with you. Trans women don’t threaten me in any way, shape, or form. Trans men don’t threaten me in any way, shape, or form. Let people live their own lives, stop trying to make issues where there are none.
I know they’re not on your streamer (yet) but my favourite ship is canonical, and it’s Stede and Ed from
#OurFlagMeansDeath
! It’d be fabulous if you would please
#AdoptOurCrew
and took their show on for a third season and beyond!
These two are in love. They’ve just embarked on their life’s journey together, but we won’t get a chance to see what happens next unless a streamer picks them up for a third season. Could you be the one,
@AppleTV
? Could you
#AdoptOurCrew
and
#SaveOurFlagMeansDeath
?
Thank you
@TaikaWaititi
for your huge part in the success of
#OurFlagMeansDeath
! You’re a fabulously gentle & yet at times terrifying Edward Teach, a brilliant director, & because of your tenacity in securing the change of location to Aotearoa, the reason we even got S2 at all.
People have probably seen this but I think is very very cool, especially s it was written before
#OFMD
was on TV.

Hi
@BBCBreakfast
! With season 2 of
#OurFlagMeansDeath
starting on
@BBCTwo
5 February, did you know about the incredible fan effort to have the show picked up by a new streamer for its third season, including a petition with nearly 83K signatures!
Surprisingly Joel was the least inclined to have his photo taken, but eventually he was fine with it. Samba stood back from doing much with Taika cos he was super super busy. Leslie wanted photos and videos all the time

The year is 1717 & Blackbeard has forgotten to pick up his free calendar from Spanish Jackie’s, meaning he thinks it’s a leap year. Or something like that. Dear
@netflix
, could you please pick up
#OurFlagMeansDeath
, &
#AdoptOurCrew
, so he doesn’t make the same mistake again?

@PureNewZealand
! Could you please sign and share our petition to get
#OurFlagMeansDeath
renewed? I know how much shooting S2 meant to tourism in Aotearoa, and how much shooting S3 would also benefit the country.
#SaveOurFlagMeansDeath
whakawhetai!

How about you delete that tweet and send only the second half. The first half is hurtful and rude, and entirely unnecessary. If you need to think these things, keep them to yourself.
@planetjedward
Their whole MO was to ruin as many young lives as possible, all in the name of TV ratings! That show has no place in today’s society and they’d better not bring it back, it’s had its day (and even then it didn’t deserve it!)!
#DontStreamOnMax
because no sooner you get invested in a program they cancel it with no rhyme nor reason, especially if it’s a flagship show and super popular.
@SteveProbert2
Oh I’m very real. And unlike you I know them and they’re the very opposite of all that. You on the other hand just look and tweet like a paid fake account. 12 followers in 4 years? Troll off.
An extraordinarily beautiful essay about queer joy and transcending the “acceptable” norms of masculinity - and in so doing, triumphing.

#OurFlagMeansDeath
Thanks
@RadioTimes
for your lovely coverage of
#OurFlagMeansDeath
! A couple of tiny things however - as you say,
#OFMD
is critically acclaimed & has a loyal following. So for Max to say the numbers weren’t there for its renewal is patently false. Also, Taika is keen for season 3.
Another thing I noticed in the
#WeeJohnWedneday
episode that
@damientgerard
was in, he’d said he’d watched OFMD right through at least 10 times (I think? A lot anyway) because he’s such a fan of the show! What a cool dude!
#DayOfDamien
So watching Short Poppies again yesterday I’ve been thinking. Rhys has kissed both Jackie and Taika. Jackie has kissed Rhys and Jemaine. Has Jackie kissed Taika? Has Jemaine kissed Taika? Has Rhys kissed Jemaine? And where does Bret fit in all this?
I’ve just seen it pointed out on FB that Annie and Mary aren’t actually selling antiques - the Louis XIV gilt wood console for instance is practically brand new as, although Louis XIV reigned for 72 years, he had only died in 1715. That’s hilarious!
Just remembered I actually pay for pressreader for a reason…some nice little “must see tv” roundups of
#OurFlagMeansDeath
this week - the second one is
@heatworld
, which I think is rather cool (excuse the pun).
So
@david_jenkins__
I’m definitely going to watch whatever it is you next come up with because I know you’ve got the goods. If you also happen to cast everyone from a certain pirate show in your next project…then…I’d also not be mad at all.
@planetjedward
@EmmanuelMacron
Exactly! Why is it people can accept a Catholic nun in a head covering but not a Muslim woman wearing pretty much the same thing? Both are worn for modesty!
Thank you for mentioning that
#OurFlagMeansDeath
was one of Max’s most popular & critically acclaimed comedies! This certainly flies in the face of what their CEO has been trying to say (that the numbers weren’t there). Please sign the petition and

I’d love to know what sources Rebecca Simon is basing her belief that Bonnet and Blackbeard “outright disliked each other”. BB took Stede onto the QAR, built captain’s quarters (something that was quite unusual and he did it after seeing Stede’s captain’s quarters on the Revenge)

Wow what a big man comment! Hope that made you feel so warm and fuzzy inside! I bet it didn’t though, because it’s symptomatic of toxic masculinity. How about you have a good look at yourself instead of trying to insult others.
Middle son, who left school in year 12 during the pandemic because it was all too much, & has since been doing study at college & is currently unemployed - has just received 4 unconditional uni offers & I’m crying like nobody���s business. He was the one I was most worried about.
@JasonReidUK
Good on them! It’s become a farce, Eurovision needs to stop hiding behind their “oh but we’re not political” thing and take a stand. The very foundation of the contest was about promoting peace and harmony through Europe post WW2. It totally is political.
@JaneyGodley
It’s weird, isn’t it. You’d think, with all their insistence that trans women are men, & that they’re doing it for the safety of women and girls, that they’d likewise be concerned for the safety of trans men, given by their way of thinking, they’d be women. But no. Not a murmur.
