(00:49):
past this episode, which is OurFlag Means Death Season one, episode seven,

(01:10):
other pirates search for oranges. Theyfind an orange tree in a church courtyard
and meet a nun whom Jim addressesas Nana. Aluwande learns that Jim came
to live with Nana after their fatherwas murdered, and that Nana taught Jim
to use knives to avenge the deathof the Jimenez family at the hands of
the Siete Gios, a roving bandof mercenaries. On the treasure hunt,
(01:32):
Lucius confronts a surly Ed, callinghim on the fact that Seed and Ed
like each other. The treasure huntculminates in the unearthing of a petrified orange
under the Jimenez family tree, andJim remains behind to complete the revenge.
Meanwhile, Chauncey Badminton arrives at SpanishJackies while where she and Izzie are plotting
against Steed. Vibe check. Didwe like the episode overall? How does
(01:59):
it stend to chest stuff time?Do you like the episode? Yeah?
I liked it. It was fun. What did you like? I liked
the treasure hunt and the Swede justrunning around losing teeth. That's terrible.
He's like, does anyone have abaggie. I want to save the teeth
(02:23):
so I can put them back.Oh yeah, I like the episode.
I think it's really funny. It'slike a very very quotable episode, a
lot of funny lines in it.I was really surprised that Blackbeard hates nature
so much. Yeah, because he'swearing all that leather. Yeah, I
like the leather look. I don'tthink it'd be comfortable though. I like
(02:44):
that little pop of purple that hewears. Yeah. Yeah, it's a
fun episode. I think both storylinesare like really engaging, so it's fun
to watch. Yeah, Trivia time, what facts could we uncover for this
is happening? Trivia Samba Shoot?Who's the episode? The actor that plays
(03:04):
Roach revealed the Blackbeard bar and grillscene was improvised by Taikawa Tit and Rees
Starby, And it definitely feels thatway like that, that feels like a
sketch out of like a Fly theConcords episode or something like, Oh yeah,
well that's the guy I want.And that's who's that guy? Oh
it's me looks so funny. VikoOrtez revealed that they and Samson Kyo kiss
(03:31):
during a take of the gym andall the Wandi scene, but it didn't
make any of the final cut,as it was decided it was too soon
for the characters kiss. Would youwant to kiss Weko? Yeah, sure,
I'd take it. I'd killy doit in my crocs Deep Sea Dive.
Let's break down some of our thoughtson the episode. You can share
(03:53):
your thoughts with us through email orsocial media. We may use your comments
on an upcoming episode. Right endof the episode, black Beard is preparing
to abandon the ship and go onhis own way. Yeah, is he's
gone? Like his crew doesn't seemtoo present in this episode, so we're
not sure what's going on with hiscrew. Yeah, he seems uncomfortable having
(04:17):
hung around that long. I'm stilllike unclear, like where his ship is.
Yeah, well he's black Beard.He can always come and dear somebody
else's ship. Yeah, you wouldthink like the two ships would be sailing
together or something. And then sweetInnocent Swede has scurvy. He doesn't know
either, everybody knows except him.He just wants a doctor to verify it.
(04:46):
He's just some smells of disease.He's like, I keep losing teeth.
It's so terrible. I would befreaking the fuck out. That's literally
nightmare fuel. And he thinks hecan put them back in later. Yeah,
and they're like, sweet, that'snot how teeth work, and he's
(05:08):
like what. And then their conversationabout uh, managing their supply of oranges,
the forty orange hurries for the cake. Cake, that's just the cake,
the frosty. Yeah, another tenfor the cake, and then Steve
(05:29):
said it barely tasted of oranges,and you could tell the cook was still
upset. He's like a shock andoff. It was good though. Yeah.
In there, they're headed to Jim'shomeland for Steve uncovers a treasure map
because he's uh easily scammed. Yeah, and he's like a child believing these
(05:51):
stories about buried treasure and stuff.And I think part of him wants to
keep Blackbeard around. It's like,really doesn't want to see black Beard go.
Yeah, so that's what I mean. Lucius is picking up on all
this about their relationship. Yeah,Lucius is very intuitive when he's watching them
and hanging out with them. Yeah, Lucius is seeing their relationship and it's
(06:15):
kind of like the audience surrogate therejust being like, oh, my god,
this is happening. Yeah, yeah, because you're like, at first,
it's like, what's going on?Like these guys are really friendly and
nice to each other, But thenall of a sudden, you're like,
wait a minute, what, AndLucius is kind of clarifying things for us
in a way. If we didn'tsee it before, we're definitely seeing it
(06:39):
now. So it's it's different tosee like these two men interacting like this
now. And then when Blackbeard gotattacked by that snake, not only did
he shake it around and pound itaround, he also stabbed it today,
(07:00):
yes, and then Steed comments somehowwell tenderized it is, Yeah, and
it could be that's what their improvwas about. Yeah, that improv was
really good. Like I believed it. I believed it from these characters talking
about like a fake restaurant situation.Well but yeah, so, I mean
Lucius was with Steve when he boughtthis map, and I think it's very
(07:23):
in tune with what Steed is tryingto do to keep black Beard hanging around.
And then black Beard's having such amiserable time that Lucius is the one
has to step in and you know, explain to him what's going on here.
Even if you're very cool and youwear leather, everyone's trying to impress
you because you are the cool leatherdaddy. And I don't think Blackbeard saw
(07:43):
that for a while, Like he'snot aware of how cool he is to
everyone. Like black Pete was like, tell black Beard, this was my
idea. Yeah, So I don'tknow. I think it's important that he
gets grounded, and I'm glad thatLucius is the one to do it.
And he would told him like,you can stab me now I know how
(08:03):
I stepped out of bounds. Steve. His outfit reminded me of his character
in Jumanji. He's like the adventure. Do you remember Jumanji? Was he
in it? Yeah? Like thenewer ones with the Rock and he's in
it. Yeah, He's like theNBC character that like introduces oh god,
I don't remember that he did.He gave me white Man on Safari yep.
(08:28):
And yeah, so that's that's thevibe I got from him. I
totally forgot he was in Jumanji withthe Rock. I literally forgot that he
was the MPC. He wasn't thatbig of a character. I guess he's
kind of like the gives him theexposition at the beginning, and yeah at
the end, Yeah, he looksexactly like that, maybe a little more
(08:50):
modern. In Djumanji. It gaveme Tarzan, like the way that they
were dressed in the animated series,the other people, the white people that
came to the jungle. So it'sfun that he has that outfit as part
of his wardrobe. He's prepared forevery kind of event. Yeah, I'm
surprised he didn't have an extra onefor Lucius to make him wear it.
(09:13):
He did that white suit. Ohmy god, that white suit was so
traumatic when he was like covered inblood when he was digging up the treasure
and he like randomly calls out forLucius and Lucius is like, I don't
(09:33):
know why you'd get me involved,Like, I'm the last person that should
be getting dirty. I like Luciusin this episode a lot. He's got
the wooden finger. Yeah, soI'm glad we got to learn a little
more about Jim, and I feellike that was a bigger plot point at
the beginning of the series, andit's been a few episodes since Jim has
had any real focus, So nowwe understand a little bit more of why
(09:58):
Jim is on this revenge mission.Yeah, well he hasn't been on this
revenge mission for long apparently, likehe killed They killed one guy and they
were like, that's probably enough.Well then they had to go into hiding
from Spanish Jackie, I guess putthem on the revenge and then that's the
story so far. Yeah, itjust doesn't seem like it was a priority.
(10:22):
No, and their adoptive non motherwas very disappointed. What was her
name, not Nana, Nanna,but who plays who plays HER's? She's
an Orange is the New Black,and she's one of she's on the latinas
so in Orange is the New Black. She is one of the main Latina
(10:46):
moms or like matriarchs, and sheplays the chef and she is so tough
in that show. And I'm prettysure that both Jim and her are Puerto
Rican. Selena Salinis Leva, Yeah, she's Cuban, Cuban, Dominican,
ooh, and Dominican. So she'snew She's from New York right, Yeah,
(11:09):
yeah, she was born in theBronx, Cuban and Dominican. Okay,
because she I'm pretty sure her characteris Puerto Rican and Orange is the
New black, but I could bewrong because I haven't seen that in a
long time. But she's a reallygood actress. She really is. And
I believed her as like this toughnun that was like hyper focused on revenge.
(11:35):
And it was just like such ahappenstance that the only orange tree in
the whole like area of San Agustinehappens to be on her property or on
her church property whatever, I don'tknow how to say it. And those
pirates agree to work for oranges,right the way they when they encounter the
(12:01):
nun and she like throws that knifeat first. I love the way they're
like trying to do the Catholic signof the cross. Yeah, They're like,
we're we're of your tribe, We'repart of the group. And he's
like, yeah, I just convertedfriend chie. She had like the laziest
version of it. Yeah. Ialso like her as a like this judgmental
(12:24):
parent with Aluwandi there. Yeah,first she was like interrogating her or them
about, uh, like do youlive together, are you married? What's
going on? And Jim is likethey speak Spanish and Alawandi's just sitting there
smiling. I love's ability to justhave a good time. Yeah, he's
(12:50):
really having fun learning about Jim inthis episode, and he like sees how
Jim's parent figure treats Jim, andhe like understands the facts that it has
on Jim, and he tries tofix it, Like when Nana was like,
(13:11):
so you're saying that six of theseven are still alive. You haven't
fucking killed anybody. You're useless,Like what is the point of you?
And Jim runs away and all oneDay's like, well, I gotta go
fix what just happened. I likehow open he was about that. Yeah,
(13:31):
and then he gets the full storyof what happened in Jim's father and
he says that Jim's pretty well adjustedfor an orphan raised by a nun to
be a killing machine. Yeah.And then right is their kiss is about
the transpire, they're interrupted by thetreasure Hunters. Yeah, because Blackbeard has
reignited the fun of this adventure nowthat he understands what's going on with Steed.
(13:52):
So these storylines kind of dovetail togetherhere and they dig up a petrified
orange. It's truly silly, itreally is. It's a pretty silly episode,
even though it seems pretty heavy too, with all the gym background.
Yeah, yeah, well balanced,very well balanced. Well, just we
end with co captains, We endwith co captains and then it cuts back
(14:16):
to Spanish Jackie's. Like the lastepisode we ended at Spanish Jackie's, so
something's building up here. Yeah.That was also just a really funny scene
where Spanish Jackie is like, hebroke my nose jar and they killed my
favorite husband. And then the Britishofficers like, I'm not following any of
that. Why do they call youSpanish Jackie? I don't know. Are
(14:41):
you Spanish? No? No,and nothing, no answers Astoral Queen,
who was the standout character in theepisode for me, ucious same Lucius did
it for me in this episode withthat little oh my god, this is
(15:05):
happening. It awakened you in thatmoment to like, what is happening?
What is going on? And thenhe breaks it down for Blackbeard because those
two are fucking oblivious. Yes,and it's so good. It's so good.
Yeah, I mean Lucius sees it. I'm pretty sure like their whole
(15:26):
crew probably sees it. He sawit, Yeah, and he thinks it's
brainwashing? Is he is very threatenedby it. M hm. So yeah,
if Lucius wasn't there to steer themin the right direction, they'd still
be lost and they wouldn't be cocaptaining. Yeah, black Beard would be
moving on to the next one andhaving like a feeling of something that's probably
(15:48):
missing because it does seem like theirkindred spirits. So that is why Lucius
is the winner of this episode.Yeah, he won the episode. Sorry
to everyone else, you're all great. You are all really good, especially
Swede. Honorable mention four teeth losingdude. All right, that wraps up
the main part of the episode.We will go into the spoiler section and
(16:11):
talk about some things coming up,I presume if we have anything to say,
But if you don't want to bespoiled anything, now is your time
to get out of here. Goon, get The next episode is called
We Go Way Back and we willsee you next time. Let's put our
living stereo stylist in this group.Brace for impact. Spoilers ahead. If
(16:37):
you haven't seen the whole series,now is the time to say goodbye.
Remember you can contact us at Spacingoutpodat gmail dot com, find us on
social media, share your thoughts andbe a part of the discussion spoilers in
five four three two one. Idon't know if I have any I feel
(16:57):
like we're on track here for everythingthat's gonna happen. The only thing that
came to my mind was they're talkingabout opening that restaurant, and the series
ends with them opening like a bedand breakfast, isn't it. Yeah,
a bed and breakfast the queerest thingin the world. Yes, So yeah,
I think I think Blackbeard can bea chef. He can be anything
(17:21):
he wants to be. Yeah.I love that attitude. I'm glad he
believes that. And then Jim.I'm pretty sure that Jim goes on to
kill like one other person and it'sa Fred Armison, and I think that's
like that's it. They're like,a there's probably all sad, yeah,
because they kind of set it uphere, like Jim's got six more heads
(17:42):
to hunt. Yeah, but Ifeel like they're in an arrow where people
are fucking dying of scurvy and shit, like more than half are probably already
goners. So I'm excited to seethe next episode. What's the next episode
about. It's the one with thatfucking guy I hate. Yeah, Will
(18:02):
Arnett. Yeah, he's the jackthen just threw everything up. Yeah he
sucks, which is part of theplot that is he is doing sending him
the fuck everything up. Yeah,all right, yeah, Otherwise I don't
I'm really curious what becomes with Jimand Pauluwanda, and I'm they get together,
(18:22):
they like separate, and then alla one day hangs out with the
like Queen of the Seven Seas.Yeah, I remember that, and I
don't remember how that all resolves.Well, so I'll get there. I
think they all get in a troubleor like a like a four way like
friendship relationship thing. They're not clear, but it's like everyone gets along and
(18:47):
they're still all fucking or something.But Jim hooks up with a with like
a pirate lady, like a rogue, and they don't give her too much
backstory or anything. It's kind ofsad because Jim, because when when all
the shit between Steve and Blackbeard goesaway, black Beard takes some of the
crew with him. Likes Jim.He likes Jim because Jim is tough,
(19:07):
and no what happens is Blackbeard maroonsthe shitty part of the crew on an
island and Steed somehow finds them.But the part of the crew that he
keeps are like Frenchy and Jim andI think another guy. I think the
cook, like the tough guys,the smart ones. Yeah, and I
(19:32):
think Lucius and black gets separated too. Oh well, Lucius gets like pushed
off the boat by Izzy, sothat sucks, and Lucius goes through hell
in high water. It's really sad. Think him and Izzy have some of
the darkest timelines, in the darkestlike things that happened to them in the
series. Black Beard too, whenthe love of his life leaves him,
(19:56):
abandons him in their journey to escape, the way that he copes with it
is like really sad, like he'sjust fucking tormented, Like how could he
do that? Steed really screws usup for everyone. Yeah, well,
he's like feeling guilty because he buthe does to Blackbeard the same thing he
did to his wife and their highmoment where they were maybe on the good
(20:17):
terms, he leaves to do somethingso self centered and selfish. So it's
like a pattern. All right,Well, let's get out of here.
We'll be back for we go wayback next episode. Thanks for sailing on
the revenge and remember to use yourcitrus and moderation, but use it please.

were like, that's probably enough.Well then they had to go into hiding
from Spanish Jackie, I guess putthem on the revenge and then that's the
story so far. Yeah, itjust doesn't seem like it was a priority.
(10:22):
No, and their adoptive non motherwas very disappointed. What was her
name, not Nana, Nanna,but who plays who plays HER's? She's
an Orange is the New Black,and she's one of she's on the latinas
so in Orange is the New Black. She is one of the main Latina
(10:46):
moms or like matriarchs, and sheplays the chef and she is so tough
in that show. And I'm prettysure that both Jim and her are Puerto
Rican. Selena Salinis Leva, Yeah, she's Cuban, Cuban, Dominican,
ooh, and Dominican. So she'snew She's from New York right, Yeah,
(11:09):
yeah, she was born in theBronx, Cuban and Dominican. Okay,
because she I'm pretty sure her characteris Puerto Rican and Orange is the
New black, but I could bewrong because I haven't seen that in a
long time. But she's a reallygood actress. She really is. And
I believed her as like this toughnun that was like hyper focused on revenge.
(11:35):
And it was just like such ahappenstance that the only orange tree in
the whole like area of San Agustinehappens to be on her property or on
her church property whatever, I don'tknow how to say it. And those
pirates agree to work for oranges,right the way they when they encounter the
(12:01):
nun and she like throws that knifeat first. I love the way they're
like trying to do the Catholic signof the cross. Yeah, They're like,
we're we're of your tribe, We'repart of the group. And he's
like, yeah, I just convertedfriend chie. She had like the laziest
version of it. Yeah. Ialso like her as a like this judgmental
(12:24):
parent with Aluwandi there. Yeah,first she was like interrogating her or them
about, uh, like do youlive together, are you married? What's
going on? And Jim is likethey speak Spanish and Alawandi's just sitting there
smiling. I love's ability to justhave a good time. Yeah, he's
(12:50):
really having fun learning about Jim inthis episode, and he like sees how
Jim's parent figure treats Jim, andhe like understands the facts that it has
on Jim, and he tries tofix it, Like when Nana was like,
(13:11):
so you're saying that six of theseven are still alive. You haven't
fucking killed anybody. You're useless,Like what is the point of you?
And Jim runs away and all oneDay's like, well, I gotta go
fix what just happened. I likehow open he was about that. Yeah,
(13:31):
and then he gets the full storyof what happened in Jim's father and
he says that Jim's pretty well adjustedfor an orphan raised by a nun to
be a killing machine. Yeah.And then right is their kiss is about
the transpire, they're interrupted by thetreasure Hunters. Yeah, because Blackbeard has
reignited the fun of this adventure nowthat he understands what's going on with Steed.
(13:52):
So these storylines kind of dovetail togetherhere and they dig up a petrified
orange. It's truly silly, itreally is. It's a pretty silly episode,
even though it seems pretty heavy too, with all the gym background.
Yeah, yeah, well balanced,very well balanced. Well, just we
end with co captains, We endwith co captains and then it cuts back
(14:16):
to Spanish Jackie's. Like the lastepisode we ended at Spanish Jackie's, so
something's building up here. Yeah.That was also just a really funny scene
where Spanish Jackie is like, hebroke my nose jar and they killed my
favorite husband. And then the Britishofficers like, I'm not following any of
that. Why do they call youSpanish Jackie? I don't know. Are
(14:41):
you Spanish? No? No,and nothing, no answers Astoral Queen,
who was the standout character in theepisode for me, ucious same Lucius did
it for me in this episode withthat little oh my god, this is
(15:05):
happening. It awakened you in thatmoment to like, what is happening?
What is going on? And thenhe breaks it down for Blackbeard because those
two are fucking oblivious. Yes,and it's so good. It's so good.
Yeah, I mean Lucius sees it. I'm pretty sure like their whole
(15:26):
crew probably sees it. He sawit, Yeah, and he thinks it's
brainwashing? Is he is very threatenedby it. M hm. So yeah,
if Lucius wasn't there to steer themin the right direction, they'd still
be lost and they wouldn't be cocaptaining. Yeah, black Beard would be
moving on to the next one andhaving like a feeling of something that's probably
(15:48):
missing because it does seem like theirkindred spirits. So that is why Lucius
is the winner of this episode.Yeah, he won the episode. Sorry
to everyone else, you're all great. You are all really good, especially
Swede. Honorable mention four teeth losingdude. All right, that wraps up
the main part of the episode.We will go into the spoiler section and
(16:11):
talk about some things coming up,I presume if we have anything to say,
But if you don't want to bespoiled anything, now is your time
to get out of here. Goon, get The next episode is called
We Go Way Back and we willsee you next time. Let's put our
living stereo stylist in this group.Brace for impact. Spoilers ahead. If
(16:37):
you haven't seen the whole series,now is the time to say goodbye.
Remember you can contact us at Spacingoutpodat gmail dot com, find us on
social media, share your thoughts andbe a part of the discussion spoilers in
five four three two one. Idon't know if I have any I feel
(16:57):
like we're on track here for everythingthat's gonna happen. The only thing that
came to my mind was they're talkingabout opening that restaurant, and the series
ends with them opening like a bedand breakfast, isn't it. Yeah,
a bed and breakfast the queerest thingin the world. Yes, So yeah,
I think I think Blackbeard can bea chef. He can be anything
(17:21):
he wants to be. Yeah.I love that attitude. I'm glad he
believes that. And then Jim.I'm pretty sure that Jim goes on to
kill like one other person and it'sa Fred Armison, and I think that's
like that's it. They're like,a there's probably all sad, yeah,
because they kind of set it uphere, like Jim's got six more heads
(17:42):
to hunt. Yeah, but Ifeel like they're in an arrow where people
are fucking dying of scurvy and shit, like more than half are probably already
goners. So I'm excited to seethe next episode. What's the next episode
about. It's the one with thatfucking guy I hate. Yeah, Will
(18:02):
Arnett. Yeah, he's the jackthen just threw everything up. Yeah he
sucks, which is part of theplot that is he is doing sending him
the fuck everything up. Yeah,all right, yeah, Otherwise I don't
I'm really curious what becomes with Jimand Pauluwanda, and I'm they get together,
(18:22):
they like separate, and then alla one day hangs out with the
like Queen of the Seven Seas.Yeah, I remember that, and I
don't remember how that all resolves.Well, so I'll get there. I
think they all get in a troubleor like a like a four way like
friendship relationship thing. They're not clear, but it's like everyone gets along and
(18:47):
they're still all fucking or something.But Jim hooks up with a with like
a pirate lady, like a rogue, and they don't give her too much
backstory or anything. It's kind ofsad because Jim, because when when all
the shit between Steve and Blackbeard goesaway, black Beard takes some of the
crew with him. Likes Jim.He likes Jim because Jim is tough,
(19:07):
and no what happens is Blackbeard maroonsthe shitty part of the crew on an
island and Steed somehow finds them.But the part of the crew that he
keeps are like Frenchy and Jim andI think another guy. I think the
cook, like the tough guys,the smart ones. Yeah, and I
(19:32):
think Lucius and black gets separated too. Oh well, Lucius gets like pushed
off the boat by Izzy, sothat sucks, and Lucius goes through hell
in high water. It's really sad. Think him and Izzy have some of
the darkest timelines, in the darkestlike things that happened to them in the
series. Black Beard too, whenthe love of his life leaves him,
(19:56):
abandons him in their journey to escape, the way that he copes with it
is like really sad, like he'sjust fucking tormented, Like how could he
do that? Steed really screws usup for everyone. Yeah, well,
he's like feeling guilty because he buthe does to Blackbeard the same thing he
did to his wife and their highmoment where they were maybe on the good
(20:17):
terms, he leaves to do somethingso self centered and selfish. So it's
like a pattern. All right,Well, let's get out of here.
We'll be back for we go wayback next episode. Thanks for sailing on
