Re: Black Sails - Miranda Barlow

OMG even though you and I talked about this directly AND I checked the comm what I thought was every day, I completely missed this until the master post. Brb reading....

So I was hoping to leave two comments but then I put it in the wrong place to begin with....

Anyway I love this, I love how she is wise and befuddled and frustrated at the same time and it really resonates and how she almost can get there but can't....ahhhhh.

I'm so glad you wrote this!

Somehow your reply slipped through the cracks & I only saw it now!

Anyway, thanks for your kind words. Miranda's such a fascinating but difficult character. I think for me, I'm always torn because the character we get is pretty interesting but... when we first met her I thought she was going to like, Have a Philosophy? Which is something you don't see a lot of women do in fiction... so I think the goal here was to like, try to give some of that back to her in a way that still fits with who she actually becomes in canon.
