I finally watched Con O'Neill's episode of Midsomer Murders and I am genuinely not ok about the Cheese Man

I love having to explain the ofmd discourse to my friends who don't watch the show it's like ten paragraphs of backstory that boils down to "they did a bad job cramming twenty episodes of story into four hours of tv and now everyone from the straight showrunner to the proud country of new zealand is being accused of vindictive homophobia"

OBSESSED with the moment in the Outfronts panel that confirms that Con is the one who didn't know the show was gay until like 4 episodes in

We got to make it. We put it out there, and you lot found it. And in bottom line terms, you were all the home we ever needed. And that can be enough. We've made this thing, it's ours, forever.

And that, my dears, is the tea.

Con O'Neill on HBO cancelling the Our Flag Means Death and it not being picked up by any other tv or service :( ❤:

Con O'Neill: Hello, it's Con. I just wanted to do a quick video to express my thanks to all of you for trying so hard to find the new home for Our Flag Means Death. And it's a great thing that we got the opportunity to make such a beautifully diverse, complex, funny, kind, provocative, dark, loving, queer story. We got to make it. We put it out there, and you lot found it. And in bottom line terms, you were all the home we ever needed. And that can be enough. We've made this thing, it's ours, forever. And thank you for being part of it. So, to you and to all your gorgeousness and your strength and your diversity and your kindness and your incredible, beautiful, complex depth of character, I am eternally grateful. And I'll see you out there. Bye bye.

Okay but on a serious note Con O'Neill ate in these first few episodes and left no fucking crumbs. Last season we ended on deranged Izzy; now we have an Izzy realizing how toxic things can really get and WISHING he could go back to the days when he was the only proper pirate among muppets. And he's TRYING so damn hard and it would be so easy to play that in a cheesy or insincere manner, but we have Con O'Neill swinging for the fences, crying, begging for death, disheveled, trying to undo everything he did to get us all in this mess and failing and looking both miserable and delighted in his misery because he's getting what he thinks he deserves.

And YET we also get the subtle tear in the eye when Stede finds out what they really did to Ed. Like. You can feel how utterly heartbroken the man is just from a glimmer in the corner of his eye.

Love Izzy, hate Izzy, it really doesn't matter, not when he's played so magnificently by Con, and I salute him for everything he's doing in this campy gay pirate show.
