There’s something horrifyingly beautiful about Tess’s final moments. In the midst of the most dire chaos, as she waits for her death to come rushing past so she can blow it sky high and give cordyceps a big fuck you one last time, one of the infected stops. It looks at her, really looks. Her own mortality is personified in this infected. It’s death that’s looking at her, and it sees her. She looks her own death in the eye, and the suspense is so high as it approaches. But then, it doesn’t bite her throat out like we all expect it to.
It kisses her. What’s more, it kisses her gently. And I think it was a brilliant choice on the writers part, because it reminded me that the infected aren’t supposed to be evil. Sure, they’re scary as hell, but really, they’re just trying to survive. They’re connected to one another, they can feel each other from miles away. They seek out and want to be close to their own kind, just like the human survivors do. And when they do find each other, they kiss hello.
And after so long apart from a loved one, someone you know and trust with every instinct in your body, wouldn’t you want to kiss them too?

I'm grateful for Our Flags Means Death because, above all the funny scenes, it shows us that you can have your great love story late in life. That you can find that person who will love all your weird obsessions and habits. That you can overcome your tragic past and start healing. That you can find your place and a family that loves you.
And for me personally, it showed me that being queer is something valid and that I can express that queernes however I want, and not how the world expects me too.
I'm sad that we won't get a final season for this amazing story, but you can't let a money-obsessed studio ruin the experience for you. Always remember how much you enjoyed and loved the show, and how much the cast and crew appreciated our support this past few years.
Remember how it made you feel, that is all that matters now.
