I missed how it ended and didn't really want to know at the time because I didn't want to spoil the happy memories.

It was Astroglide's twitter person who was so lovely. They said their boss loved the show & gave them work time to watch with us. It was so bloody hilarious & fun to rewatch with everyone. The comments, anticipation and joy. Wild.

Did we really get this content so quickly after the episode aired? It was an exciting time. Sigh.

I made myself a song list from the show and am still listening to it at least once a week two years later, both classical and pop. Makes me happy when I'm working.

Screenshot from Television Stats from October 2023 with the top 10 shows.  Our Flag Means Death is sat proud at number one with an online engagement score of 16.72, way above The Last of Us at number two, with an online engagement score of 9.59.

I still can't believe Max cancelled Our Flag Means Death. I firmly believe they rebranded back to HBOMax because #DontStreamOnMax became such a popular hashtag.

I love how genuinely happy Stede is to hear that Lucius is talking to Pete, It's one of the few time he's smiling in those first 3 eps of Season 2. (Then Lucius takes him back to devastation of course)

I loathed Dirty Dancing and Love Actually, so I think you've not missed much, but what do I know compared with so many fans of those. I think OFMD is a better, swoonier, funnier, more inclusive & intelligent romance than either. I could write a thesis about why. I just say Ed & Stede are equals.

I was so glad I watched it where I could fast forward through the fights. So it probably only took up 45 mins of my time while I was ironing.

I finally watched this. Wooo Boy it's nasty and just bad. Not worth it as Rhys has a cheap ugly prosthetic in his mouth. But the 1st time he's heard it's a panicked squeak from a car boot (where he is gagged and tied up & you can't see him) and my brain was like 'I know that panicked squeak!!'

I love it too. When I finally got to New York, I danced around that fountain (on the ground, I didn't climb onto it).

Thanks for this link it was a really lovely, friendly, intelligent interview for a good half an hour. From 2.33 to 3.00. ๐Ÿฅฐ

I grow lemon verbena, do you seep the leaves or are you buying it dried? I might give it a go.

Also I'm just thinking, it's an announcement to the crew that they are pals.

Post you from a different era.

Doing a student teaching round, wearing my grandpa's jacket which Dad gave to my brother, but he didn't like it. Sadly no longer fit into it, but I still wear the earings. I didn't become a teacher.

For the Aussie faction, curious to see Rhys as Kippy Betts in Love Hurts, I've just noticed it's on Foxtel.

I watched that the other night and noticed the romantic comedy tropes also in OFMD like this.

Mine is red leather man's wallet, with a clear pocket for my travel card and a zip pocket for change, house keys, and sometimes, earings. I find women's purses too big and cumbersome. And the zip faces the wrong way.

It's so lovely to see this! Thanks for posting. I was going through a tough time, and being in this small space with Rhysie was overwhelming. I barely remember this happening. Also, I can hear my laugh!
