This episode is absolutely brilliant. The writing is great, but the design is perfection. A perfect blend of historical inspiration and queer joy exemplified.
The whole show is a gem, but this episode stands out. The brilliance of having the important plot arcs resolve together and celebrating them with a visual exploration of gender, queerness, costume play, and perfomance epitomizes the best things about Our Flag Means Death. This is a show where anything is possible in the name of self-actualization. Where self-acceptance is the most valued goal, and accepting and celebrating others is a close second.
I need more.
