flinthamiltons – Meg's Mumbles

stars-and-stripes-and-bucky:

Okay but can we talk about the parallels between the both dinner scenes in Black Sails? And how they mirror each other until they don’t?
Well, in the scene with Alfred Hamilton as Alfred tries to get James’ opinion Miranda is the one who jumps to his defense but is soon enough shut down by him and she complies and keeps her mouth “firmly shut.”
At the Peter Ashe’s home as Peter proposes something that will destroy James in every way possible, she is no longer willing to keep quiet.
The anger she has been holding inside all these years finally flows free and she can’t and won’t help it. Just like Thomas and his love for James that reaches such a high point at that dinner that he can no longer contain it and we see the very first physical manifestation of it in a form of the kiss they share.

Also I love how Miranda’s behavior mirrors (again) what James says to Thomas: “ You are a good man and someone should be willing to defend it”. James is a good man and Miranda is willing to defend him.
