Biography[]

Season Three[]

Flint dreams that he is alone on theWalrus when suddenly, Miranda Barlow   climbs over the side of the ship, sopping wet as if she’d just emerged from the ocean and with her bullet wound in her head. She then begins mouthing a message to him. She then goes belowdecks. As he follows her, he sees a mysterious figure go even further into the bowels of the ship. As he gazes down into the black hole, Miranda’s hand grabs his shoulder, and he is woken up by Billy Bones.[1] 

After the storm, Flint dreams that he is belowdecks with Miranda, still mouthing the mysterious message to him, while Death sits in a chair next to her. As he walks closer, Death rises, and Flint stares at it in disbelief. As Death turns to face Flint, Miranda appears behind Flint screaming silently, and Flint wakes up. As Flint dehydrates, he sees Death staring at him from across the deck of the ship[2]

During his continued imprisonment in the Maroon Camp , Flint tells Miranda in his dreams while they stare at Death of how he saw a dead dog once in his youth. While old in life, death seemed to restore her youth to her. That was the first moment Flint began to ponder death. Miranda tells him that he resents her because they were so close and she threw it all away and got herself killed. She asks him what would happen if she resented him for doing the same. Flint asks what he would be throwing away, and she reminds him that he is not alone[3]
