Summary:There is a quality, Hal Gates thinks in the back of his mind, to an abandoned stretch of coast. It’s meant, for one, to be abandoned – devoid of people. Home to birds and the like – and not, he thinks, kicking once again at the pieces of his wrecked boat, bloody fucking useless idiot pirates too stupid to not go out in a ship-killer in a launch out of some stupid desire to avoid having a drink with the man who may have killed his son.
In which Gates lives, and the events of Season 1 and 2 play out very differently.

As a further addition to Talk Like a Pirate Day:
“…For that is the single most dangerous weapon they possess – the one they tempt. Give us your submission, and we will give you the comfort you need. No. I can think of no measure of comfort worth that price.”

I had forgotten that BOTH of Eleanor’s male love interests have disgustingly out of character hallucinations of her at different points in the story. One sees her as a dangerous siren to be conquered, the other see’s her as a passive silent wife. She deserved so much better.
She did, but then, I thought that was the point. It’s not out of character for them, in fact, it speaks volumes about the way men twist women’s behaviour.
(I also thought that the second Eleanor was actually silently judging WR, but I still don’t think any Eleanor would ever appear to that moron.)
Oh yeah, I definitely see it as an intentional point the writers are making about both men (and men in general) seeing her as a shallow archetype, who they think she is/want her to be rather than the actual person she is!
I agree that Rogers’ hallucination of her is him imagining her judging him, but at the same time it also shows how little he knew her that she’s sitting in a corner knitting.
