Can we note that the little plant they commandeer from the boat at the start of the pilot is fucking thriving by the time it's used as evidence in "Act of Grace"? Like, Stede or the crew or all of them have been watering and tending to that little thing for months.

This is entirely why Ed and Stede are made for each other. No one else could ever put up with them as their unfiltered selves for more than five minutes at a stretch. Not only can they put up with each other, they MAKE EACH OTHER WORSE.
Love story of all time.
#exactly#i honestly cant see them with anyone but each other#they are perfect for each other#no one else could match each other's energy

Izzy getting into baking and being instantly good at it - the first time he's actually been effortlessly great at something - and he literally can't understand why people find this so hard, I mean it's just following precise instructions?

Sorry but I just love the sexy red suit scene because Stede is there looking in the mirror, feeling himself and thinking “I’M SO FUCKING HOT RIGHT NOW… maybe I’ve always been this hot? Oh yeah, I’m a sexy bitch!” And Izzy is there right behind just like… a piece of furniture with a voice as far as Stede’s concerned.
Stede’s object permanence when it comes to Izzy is just like … “I don’t care if you’re here or not, I’m gonna check myself out all day, whatever. If my boyfriend was here we’d be smooching in front of the mirror so could see how hot I look when I do it.”
#Stede checking himself out in his new fancy clothes#like always doesnt pay any mind to izzy unless he had too#then is bitchy#love him

So, yeah, a good bit of Izzy’s resentment of Ed is that Izzy “saved” Ed from the English (by purchasing him) and Ed decided that he’d rather save Stede’s life. Izzy crafted this narrative in which he sold them out, then moved in to rescue Ed and make him beholden to “Captain Hands” and Ed rejected it entirely.
And Izzy brings it up in the cabin scene: “I should have let the English kill you.” Never mind that Izzy himself was the one who brought the English in; he still would style himself as Ed’s white savior, the sole thing standing between Ed and death. His LIFE belonged Izzy, and he was insufficiently grateful for what Izzy so graciously bestowed on him. He would rather give himself to save Stede.
Ohhhhh, the layers.

really love how the women in ofmd are just as weird, gross, conniving, immature, emotional, stupid, complex, badass, toxic, and human as the men. literally the only missteps are no anne/mary kiss and forcibly shaving archie's pits.
#yup#agree with but the kiss#they are actors#and there could be a myriad of reasons of why there wasnt a kiss#like someone could be sick that day they filmed

Just got done rewatching This is Happening. And the end of the episode with full Shakespearean villain Izzy makes so happy. Hair skewed, boding Shakespearean speech, getting hit in the face with the sandwich. Bless Con's comedic timing.
#i won't let them take my love of canon izzy away#especially pathetic Chihuahua izzy#thats my Shakespearean villain#ofmd

The former supernatural community latching onto izzy like he's dean is disturbing.
I have many thoughts and feelings on this, so I will try to make this short.
First, I've seen a divide with SPN fans and their reactions to Izzy and Izzy's death. Some fans are similar to me, and understand Izzy's purpose in both the show and his death, while not necessarily thinking he needed to die, but he needed to be far away from Ed and Stede in order for them to heal. And some who I think had a different version of Izzy in their head (and connection to him) than what the show established/portrayed, and felt betrayed by the end when it didn't match their reading.
At first I was surprised that Izzy is the character that was latched onto and not, for instance Ed. Ed is far more like Dean (Daddy issues, he is at the core soft, but has to be hard to protect people or when he is pushed to be, etc) than Izzy or really anyone else on the show. He is misunderstood the most too.
A lot of it is seems to be from past trauma from Dean's death and SPN's terrible finale. The shock value. And also a lot of projection. But it is only the ghost of it. It is not the same scenario, and it serves completely different purposes, especially since Izzy and Dean are different tropes, archetypes, etc.
But now that I have had months to think about it and read a lot of essays and it makes sense. SPN, especially at certain times, requires a lot of analysis of subtext. Especially when looking at the queer subtext about the main three characters. Until the ending, they went full text, and people will still argue about it.
OFMD is different in that basically all of the characters are queer. There is no having to dig through subtext to analyze. There are so many other interesting things to analyze instead, from the trauma of not only the two leads, but the whole crew. But if you are used to having to dig and read into queer subtext, especially the Hays Code era, there is only one character that works with: Izzy. So if you are coming from SPN, the trauma and queer coding and that's all you want to identify with or analysis, that is going to limit your readings in an openly queer show.
Now this is only a little bit of it. Some of it is people just identifying and liking Izzy and his journey the most on the show. Everyone is going to identify with different characters and different journeys. So if you identify with Izzy the most, cool, but getting made at the show and insulting the creator because he didn't match what was in your head, even though Izzy's death was foreshadowed in the first season, is not cool.
There are two good posts that I'll link to here and here, but they also express why looking at the show through Izzy's lens while not wrong of course, is just missing the point of the show and once again framing a white repressed antagonist as the only queer reading is actually making it heteronormative.

Weekend at Bobby's aka How Bobby Got His Soul Back is such a pinnacle episode for both S6's plot and characters.
It is one of the rare episodes that doesn't revolve around Sam and Dean. Part of this is because it was the first episode Jensen directed & less screentime helps.
Characters
Many characters are brought front and center this episode.
Jody is brought back and is shown to already be an ally to Bobby and the Winchesters. She tried to help with the FBI agent and also risks her career to save Rufus from jail. Her and their loyalty will just grow stronger as the show goes on.
Rufus is also brought back here and we get to see Bobby with his oldest friend. Their chemistry is unmatched and they should have had more episodes!
Garth is mentioned for the first time.
And of course Crowley. We learn about his past, his name, son, where he's from, as well as that he has been promoted as the King of Hell.
Sam and Dean get their asses handed to them by Bobby because he is right. Sam and Dean can be selfish, I would argue that that is a small theme of the season that leads to the ultimate conflict with Cas at the end.
But mainly we get to see Bobby in his every day element. How many other hunters he helps, always answering the phone, staying up late into the night to help, even breaking into the library. I love this character deep dive of him we get.
Foreshadowing
- Burning of bones. We learn that you can burn a demon's bones. Later used as the reason why Bobby & Sam suspect Cas of betrayal.
- Crowley becoming King of Hell, making him a big bad for further in the season/series
- When Bobby is yelling at Sam and Dean about their selfishness, he mentions how he does everything for them. He is always there to help them when they need it. This same sentiment and words will come out of Cas' mouth later that season when he talks to Dean.
- Did I mention Garth?
Comedy
The amount of dry and dirty jokes in this episode is high. Crowley is just dripping with semi dirty jokes, from the I hope this is paint, to the reason he sells his soul, he is at peak evil villainy. I love it.
WAB offers so much as an episode and it deserves to be in the top episodes of the season.
Camerawork is used to create visual gags, there is even physical comedy with Bobby going through the window.
Sam and Dean are brought into the plot and only really shown through phone calls.
Overall, the style of this episode is different than others and makes it standout.
