So many people speculating about OFMD s2 plot points and character arcs, my prediction is that there's gonna be a whole lot of this after s2 finally airs

Yes Pete has great character development in the desconstructing of toxic masculinity department but can we talk about the development from episode 1 Mr. "I should have 20 kills by now at least" opening scene goes to "Does giving a cursed suit away make us....bad people" Pete u r so sweet and so stupid ily

GIF :
Moment of appreciation for how genuinely concerned the crew look when Izzy falls over 😥
Special mentions to:
■ Lucius for being dramatic™
■ Jim for being a concerned cutie
■ Roach for immediately forgetting about the cleaver in his hands because he's v concerned
■ Frenchie for doing... well not much actually but he always gets a special mention
■ And most of all Fang for immediately entering protective bf mode

Samba had a baking class! There he revealed some scenes that were cut/rewritten at some point in the process include:
From Samba: Calypso’s birthday was supposed to be LuPete wedding and wee John and Roach were trying to get Ed and Stede to hook up. Roach is the one who would have given Stede the pierced ear. Wee John makes Ed an outfit. Then Stede & Ed actually danced! Samba likes what the episode changed to, and that they didn't force the Ed/Stede relationship earlier. This episode would have been a combination of Parent Trap+Makeovers+Slow Dancing [SLIGHT agreement about being happy they didn't push the relationship (as they move it from being the point of ep 6 to the end of ep 6), I'm just more mad that they made the LuPete wedding a last minute thing. This still would have felt rushed after multiple non-apologies from Ed. A part of me says they wanted the drag bits? But then you're telling me Lucius wouldn't want Wee John in drag at his wedding, which just sounds SO out of character]
[CUT SCENE] The reason Buttons had a rope around his waist for ep 1 was because he kept on trying to run to the sea. They had scenes showing this but it was cut.
[CUT SCENE] S2E1 where Stede's crew were all making wishes for a ship. Black Pete wished that Lucius would be alive on the ship, Olu wished that Jim would be on the ship, and Roach wished for a big kitchen on the ship!
[CUT SCENE] Apparently a LOT of Jim/Olu scenes were cut, including one where Archie and Olu step out of the bedroom in boxers. Confirming 100% that they are all poly, and Jim/Olu was still together together. With a hint of maybe Olu/Archie?
BEHIND-THE-SCENES STUFF
The 'Don’t you want your Sammie' sandwich scene in ep 4 was fully improvised, and that on top of getting hit in the face is why Nathan broke.
Thumb war scene was improv, which is a shame, as to me this was the most romantic moment of the fucking season. It's just so soft, and sweet, and happy.
Stede's jacket from ep5 is cursed irl bc the fire alarm went off w/ no explanation in the first scene with the jacket
David Fane got bit by an eel on the toe while filming the Roach&Fang spa scene
So they really seemed to have had a decent script then changed it, for some reason. It wouldn't have fixed everything, but it does confirm my theory that they mostly cut scenes with the crew/rewrote episodes so the crew wasn't heavily featured.
ALSO: Samba wanted to do an official podcast when the season was releasing but couldn't due to the strikes.

there are no less than FIVE separate scenes with Izzy and Stede together in the trailer alone!!
and they're wonderful!! It's everything I ever wanted for their dynamic and more!!!
but also A WHOLE PROSTHETIC LEG!!!!!! Wow!!
I've always been in the "cutting people's toes off is serious business" camp but David Jenkins and the other talented writers for the show leaned in hard
...smack that ass...
plus a bonus Pete because <3 Pete my beloved <3
