Tara: I loved the beach scenes since that is one of my favorite places and Scotland coastline as a stand in for Ocracoke.
Cameron: I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I actually really liked the ending scene with Roger and Brianna when she shot Bonnet. Though things happened differently in the book, I thought for the changes that were made, that last exchange still worked. When Roger asked Bree if that was revenge or mercy, it was an interesting look into what they both were thinking or feeling now that Bonnet is gone. Even after all that happened, I think that it was mercy and revenge that Bree was aiming for (no pun intended). I think she really took to heart the conversation that she and Jamie had last season about forgiveness, but it had to feel good to know that he was finally gone, and she was the one who ended it once and for all.
Stephanie: I liked that Roger is finally gaining confidence to stand on his own. He’s earning Jamie’s respect. I like the way we are seeing Roger in a new light. Not as a frightened professor but as a 18th century badass, beating the crap out of Bonnet!
Nancy: I like what everyone else has said. I also want to mention two things I liked — I was happy to see Stephen Bonnet go for the plus size prostitute. I was also glad that they finally hinted that there was something romantic going on between Jocasta and Ulysses.
Dawn: When Bonnet has Brianna on Okracoke, and he asks her to teach him to be a gentleman and how to love. The relationship basically turns to that of Mother and Child. She scolds him about his table manners. She reads to him bc he can’t read. He exhibits such childlike behavior responding to her, esp when she “read” Moby Dick And he threw a tantrum about wanting to know how it ends.

I had one reaction to this episode that I haven’t seen expressed elsewhere … Nobody, NOBODY I have ever known liked Moby Dick!
I am, mostly, loving Season 5, though. Can’t believe it’s almost over. And the upcoming Droughtlander threatens to be the longest ever. ::sigh::
I have to admit this but I have never read Moby Dick! I’m glad I didn’t waste my time! LOL!! Thanks for reading the post and for your comments!!
