When something is a flashback, dream or vision, the image is desaturated with sharp lighting. Much of the color was leached out. It seemed to me that when they did Flint’s ending, with the VO of Silver recounting it to Madi, it was somewhat desaturated, with quite a bit of white, especially in the costume choices.
And the previous episode they had extensive flashbacks of Flint and Silver doing sword training, as if to remind us of the effect.
Of course, we know from Treasure Island that the rum took Flint in Savannah, so he’s in the right region.
None of the other endings had that effect, they were in regular lighting.
Do you think the show was trying to create ambiguity there? Or were they just portraying the harsh Georgia sun.

So Max warns Eleanor about the rumors about her and Woodes. She warns that those rumors will undermine Woodes and force him to push her out. So she goes and seduces Woodes. But from pragmatic beginnings she seems to have actually fallen for him. I am only half way through S4. Is this genuine or is it just confused pragmatism since he’s her only way out of all of this?

This movie did something I haven't seen in a crime movie before. The stolen Colt only has so many bullets. As it's used in crimes, they count down because of the assumption that the perpetrator will never be able to get more ammo for it. It's much more common in movies for emptying a gun to be an immediate problem, where the character just has to reload and their opponent has however long that takes to get the drop on them. This was a very different take, where the gun was a rather exotic threat, and each bullet was another source of guilt and shame for the protagonist.

I’m new to the show and am working on season 2. When Low appeared my assumption was that he would serve as a new, worse pirate to be the new antagonist while they developed Vane’s character. And to an extent he did serve that purpose. And he brings “the prize”, a storyline Im just starting. But I was surprised to see him disposed of so quickly. It seemed like he was going to be the main threat to Eleanor’s new consortium. I’m curious to hear some opinions about him and his role in the story

I’ve been trying to figure out an encounter that revolves around moving an asteroid. My idea is that they are hired to drop a metallic asteroid onto a water planet where metal is scarce and it could be more easily mined. Here are some possible issues I’ve thought of. Any ideas would be appreciated. Or if there are already rules on any of this I’d love to hear about them.

Gravity plane-if the asteroid is larger than the ship then it would be important to keep the ship in the asteroids gravity plane.

Planet interaction- you would want to make sure it weren’t connected to the ship when you entered a planets gravity plane, because presumably it would break the ship. So maybe disconnecting it and pushing it into position to drop it on the planet?

Any other ideas OM this topic?

Thank you

I have a childhood memory (early 80s) of a Richard Scarry book where there were pickles on every page that you had to search for. But it wasn’t the pickle car. But it did have a lot of the Richard Scarry characters all over it. Does anyone remember this, I can’t find it on a regular search.

I just finished the first book in the Masquerade of the Red Death trilogy and I noticed something that struck me as odd. A conflict is set up between the Camarrila and the Sabbat. But several times it uses the term Anarch, but they seem to be referring to the Sabbat, and at one point they use the term Sabbat Anarch. I always thought the Sabbat was a third group, and the way the book describes its organization it doesn’t resemble the Anarch government.

Am I misreading the book? Or misunderstanding something about the lore? Or is the book using an earlier version of the lore? Or is it wrong?

Thank you
