Re: Black Sails (S2E10) -- Season Finale -- "XVIII" -- 3/28/15

:thumbsup: Now that's how you finish a season.

Probably the best episode of the series. Lots of pirate action and that attack on Charlestown freaking awesome. Very impressive special effects. Glad to see Flint get revenge for Miranda with no mercy.

I liked seeing Flint and Vane team up in this episode. I know their relationship is rocky, but they worked well together.

Guess this episode was literally the origin story for Long John Silver. :D Poor him that scene was tough to watch.

I think that last mention by Flint was sort of a tease of Blackbeard coming next season.

Shame on those who didn't stick with this. This truly evolved into the R rated Pirate show it was destined to be.

Glad to see them already working on season 3, but yet again, another 10 month wait for the next season.

And I hated one of the big plot twists: I'm not gay myself, but I don't have anything against gay people. I really don't. Hell, I'm from Atlanta, and it sometimes seems like half my high school friends were gay. So knock yourselves out, fellas - be the gayest gay man you can, if that's what you want. But using "OMG! THEY'RE GAY!" as a plot twist just seems lazy as all hell, and mildly offensive at that.

But this finale was 54 goddamn minutes of awesome! Sucks to be Silver, but we all knew it was coming. And the attack on Charles Town was just... brutal, but so much fun: the release of all the pent-up emotion with this show.

You have to remember the times in which this takes place. Executions for sodomy continued in England until 1835.

As to Silver in the preview for Season 3

Spoiler:

He doesn't fit the physical image portrayed in Treasure Island tho his personality does. I'm wondering if they'll give him a parrot like in the book.

He has a boot on but you can see it's a bit different, insinuating it's a "peg-leg"

Season 3 hasn't even premiered yet and....

Black Sails has been renewed for a fourth season on Starz.

Just finished binge watching Season 2. Great last two episodes.

Would some care to indulge me in telling me who Flint killed for Miranda in the flashbacks. Was it Thomas Hamilton's father? Sorry for the brain lock...
