#or it's with Stede's knowledge and then him agreeing to take things slow but next episode asking for help to speed it up would be Odd

Note: I made this solely based off my discomfort for "grown adults need outside parties to meddle in their relationships" plots, and I gather there's other discourses going on, sorry if this poll crossed anyone's dash and made it feel pervasive, I was hoping for, if anything, some interesting comments and definitely got some. Trope talk is fun. I actually really respect the writers for scrapping outside influence and having this be between Ed and Stede, and yes, I'd've loved to see them dance and yes, seeing them be horny at each other --without a Chorus of other crew involved-- would have been great.

For me, can't stand them, makes me think worse of the couple that gets matchmade, and the only good one is Emma where it doesn't work and the matchmaker has to concede she fucked up, but since those stories keep getting made and people seem to be mourning that we didn't see "Crew tries to matchmake them" in OFMD, I'm curious what the skew is.
