I Finally Finished Our Flag Means Death And I’m Sad We Won’t Get To See This One Storyline Play Out

As a passionate viewer of Our Flag Means Death and an avid supporter of LGBTQ+ representation on TV, I can’t help but feel a sense of disappointment and longing for more from this groundbreaking show. Having grown up with limited representation in media, I connected deeply with the exceptional queer characters and heartwarming romances that Our Flag Means Death brought to life. The tender humor and comedic moments struck a chord with me, making Stede and Ed’s journeys all the more meaningful.


I’ve been disappointed numerous times when shows were taken off the air before they could finish their stories. Consequently, if I discover a show has been canceled prior to completing its last season, I usually put it on hold. I don’t want to be left with an unresolved cliffhanger or incomplete narrative. Unfortunately, the cancellation of “Our Flag Means Death” and “Julia” occurred around the same time for me. Both shows deserved proper endings, so I took some time to grieve over their premature ends.

Although I intend to go back and finish shows that I’ve left unfinished at some point, I need to be in the right frame of mind for their conclusions. When I heard about “Our Flag Means Death” being canceled, I had only seen the first six episodes of Season 2. Eventually, I felt ready to watch the final two episodes. To my surprise, I found the ending to be fulfilling, but there were still more potential stories left untold.

Warning: Our Flag Means Death spoilers are ahead. Proceed with caution.

I Want To See Zheng And The Crew Of The Revenge Team Up 

1. In the final episode of “Our Flag Means Death,” Zheng, played by Ruibo Qian, proposes that Stede (Rhys Darby), Ed (Taika Waititi), and their shipmates from the “Revenge” band together to pursue Prince Richard (Erroll Shand). At a later point, it’s shown that Stede and Ed decide against continuing piracy; however, the remaining members of the “Revenge” crew opt to follow Zheng.

1. The ongoing journeys of Zheng and his crew on the Revenge ship were ripe with possibilities. A shift in leadership might have allowed the series to delve into new territories, create fresh characters, and generate intriguing interactions. In essence, Zheng commanding the Revenge could have reimagined “Our Flag Means Death.” At the same time, we could have followed the Revenge crew on their escapades while Stede and Ed embraced the innkeeping life.

I Am Interested In The New Dynamics And Possible New Crew On Our Flag Means Death

As a devoted fan, I can rephrase that for you in an engaging first-person perspective:

Additionally, pirates are always engaged in conflicts, not only among their own crew members but also between different ships and crews at sea. The possibilities for new alliances, rivalries, and power shifts with Zheng and the reborn “Revenge” are immense.

I Want To Find Out If Stede And Ed Eventually Return To Pirate Life

Our Flag Means Death doesn’t work without Ed and Stede. They’re not only the show’s leads but a big part of its heart and soul. A third season wouldn’t work without them. However, I would have hoped that the series allowed viewers to see them as innkeepers. The show is a great Max original because of the exceptional LGBTQ+ representation, the tender romances, and the funny comedy. Its comedy matters. Innkeepers Stede and Ed have so many comedic possibilities. We need to see the highs and lows of this choice.

Nevertheless, I hope the Revenge team will join forces again. It would be great if they were all back together. If there had been no interruption in the filming of Our Flag Means Death, a possible third season could have begun with them experiencing the challenges of innkeeping for a few episodes before resuming their pirate adventures.

I Want To See More Of Spanish Jackie  

Intriguingly, the finale of “Our Flag Means Death” features Spanish Jackie (Leslie Jones) alongside The Swede (Nat Faxon) in a new series titled “Revenge”. Whether their presence is temporary or permanent, it suggests they might be joining the crew. My personal take is that they’re onboard for good.

If Jackie joins our team formally, it would add an exciting twist. She’s bound to stir up some mischief aboard the ship. Moreover, it’s not impossible for her to bring on board a new spouse, seeing as she may now be single and only have Swede with her.

It Would Have Been Interesting To Witness Zheng Take More Of A Lead Role On Our Flag Means Death 

It’s intriguing to ponder how “Our Flag Means Death” might have enriched its narrative by delving deeper into the historical background of Zheng Yi Sao. Although my knowledge about her real-life counterpart is limited, and the show intentionally deviates from factual accuracy, I’m captivated by the prospect of witnessing how her story could have been more prominently featured in Season 3. In the episodes we’ve seen so far, we’ve glimpsed some aspects of her life, like her interactions with Auntie (Anapela Polataivao), but a more substantial role for this character could have added depth and complexity to the series.

In Season 2, I found myself drawn to her character, but I yearned for more insight into her background and reasons. Unfortunately, we were given a mere glimpse of Zheng’s history and connections with other “Revenge” cast members in Season 3. Thus, I am eager to discover how her relationships with them might unfold, particularly those beyond Oluwande (Samson Kayo).

I Am Invested In The Zheng And Oluwande Romance

The TV show “Our Flag Means Death” by Apple TV+ is renowned for being one of the most charming romantic comedies. This is reflected in its many appealing and heartwarming romantic relationships. A budding romance between Zheng and Oluwande is among the show’s developing pairings, adding to its core romantic storylines.

I’m intrigued by the development of their romantic relationship on “Revenge” with them as a couple. Let’s see how this love story unfolds in Season 3. It may face new obstacles, and I’m eager to discover how they handled these challenges and supported each other through growth, both together and separately.

I’ve witnessed productions rescued from cancellation and others that never truly got off the ground. I can’t be certain if “Our Flag Means Death” has reached its final episode. However, as a dedicated fan, I can say that we’re eager to keep it alive. If it doesn’t return, I accept its conclusion, but I firmly believe there were still untapped storylines waiting to unfurl.
