It's incredible how after all these years, this speech gives me some kind of hope, especially in difficult time.

I am not sure which is sadder here. Fact that people dont know he's actually talking about illuminism, or the fact that even today in 2024 there are people which hate enlightenment and illuminism and liberalism and just prefer the old world order. Which is so well explained here.

Watching it again after years...

A free country, the home of the brave, but at the same time censors speech and shuns true bravery.

Ugh so underrated. Toby deserved all the awards in the world he's just sublime

This speech is so prevalent right now....

dialogue in this is just so goood...

This speech is so actual!

This fits perfectly for the democratic party.

prob the best written tv show iv ever seen and so many people dont even know it exists

Most relevant quote for todays society.

This scene explains everything about what’s happening to the public now.

The most heartbreaking part is that they are both right in their own way. You can see the solid reasoning in both their perspectives, and you want both to be true. But in the end you know only one can come out on top and you have to kill a little piece of yourself to live with that one side that wins out.

It pains me that this show didnt blow up as much as it should've. The writing of season 4 is easily on par with GoT's early seasons.

As I get older I find myself getting back to that scene quite often. It just seems more and more relevant these days.

Season 4 of Black Sails was an all time peak for television.

This episode was the last proof for me that the actor Toby Stephens not only played Capt. Flint but he became Capt. Flint. Just as Johnny Depp became Jack Sparrow (but his character had no development and became uneasy to watch after two movies). The expressions on his face are either some of the most amazing acting I have ever seen or he is speaking what his heart and mind truly feels. This is the only show I know which becomes even better if you rewatch it because of the character development.

I have lots of opinions on this show, but in this particular case: FUCK JOHN SILVER

Finished this last night, great ass show man

I just finished this show for the first time, and i gotta say it's absolutely criminal that these guys didn't get Emmys. The acting in this show is amazing

F..k Silver why do that

This guy is just one awesome actor!!!

ah

Very effecktive video...thank you. I wait you from more Captain Flint videos

Governments and men who desire to control others have always and will always attempt to perpetrate this. They want you scared, unwilling, dependent, on them. Creativity is dangerous, innovation could lead to disaster, individuality is not good for your fellow man, freedom is a negative thing. That is what they would have you believing. Stay here with us, where it is safe Stay here with us, where you are provided for Stay here with us, where there is no risk Stay here with us, where there is safety Stay here with us, where we can watch you Stay here with us, where you will stay. We would let you venture out into the dark, but we wouldn't want you to fail...now would we? We would let you venture out into the dark, but we wouldn't want you to meet a dragon...now would we? We would let you venture out into the dark, but we wouldn't want you to become a dragon...now would we?

I love this scene so much. Flint is right, obviously, powerful people use and create fear and doubt to keep others in the fold, and it's important to challenge them regularly. But Silver is just as right that trying to dispel that fear and doubt at literally ANY cost is insanity, because there's a point where uncontrolled 'progress' just means that there'll never be peace and people won't be able to live real lives anymore, which defeats the point. It's such an eloquent and powerful moment of investigating the concept of ideology and when it goes too far and needs to be put in check.

The ending of this show was underrated. It had awesome action, brilliant performances, catharsis with the fall of Rogers, hope that things will get better in Nasau, set-up for the the book and seeing Flint fighting Silver was so conflicting. I loved it. Though of course, I wish that they'd instead decided to continue the war.

So underrated it was so much better than GOT. I m still waiting on the spin off with Jack Rackham, Anne Bonnie and Lou Reed🤩

better than game of thrones

This scene is so much better knowing flints initial resentment towards himself for his love for Thomas hamilton. The "darkness" with its discovery and possibility and freedom i feel flint speaks of his love for Thomas and he's fighting to make it socially acceptable in his time. AMAZING acting

One of the best scenes I've ever seen on screen and the acting by Toby here is absolutely incredible.

One of the best shows of all time! Flint also has to be one of the best written characters i've ever seen.

Black Sails and Vikings - 2 completely underrated TV shows

Damn that was one hell of a speech I gotta say I hated Flint form a long but this made he characters ark worth everything

Silver's a little bitch, bailed on the whole plan for pussy. Then the bitch dumped him anyway lmao. Flint was so close to going to war with England. Imagine if for this show they rewrote history and he defeated England with an army of slaves and a navy of pirates. How badass would that be? I wanted to see Flint burn them all. Fuck England. Fuck civilization. I never enjoyed a scene on any movie or show as much as I enjoyed watching him kill Thomas Hamilton's father. God that was perfect. Pompous piece of shit got what he deserved.

he had so many badass quotes on this show about england, and so many of them are accurate today, to the u.s. government (and probably most other governments) who are doing a lot of shady shit for profit, and if you go against it they throw you in a cell.

Please help! What's the music in the background?

That's so......human

Toby Stephens aka cpt Flint has had some fantastic speeches throughout the series & here's another one, I honestly can't understand why this show has been so underrated, great writing, great cast & great crew, far as I'm concerned it's a lost to them & it's a bonus for us! #blacksailswillneverdie

THE WRITING.

Black Sails had spectacular writing and acting to the end and kept getting better but never got any recognition. Then somehow Game of Thrones farts out the most trash season of tv ever and wins all the awards.

Without a doubt, the finest writing for television, I have ever witnessed. This entire series was a tour de force. Bravo! Whoever you were that made this, that fought for this. You magnificent baztards!

toby stephens is leagues ahead of some of the biggest actors today, but gets no recognition. you can tell he's the son of maggie smith.

"I unmade him"

Once someone has illuminated it

It’s so sad

Flint has had some wonderful quotes throughout the seasons of black sails, but this one, bloody hell this one beats all of them hands down!!

Last part of Black Sails is awesome. Awesome ending.Awesome acting. My favorite movie about World order. Dispite several absurds into all 4 seasons ... movie it definetly worth to watch it

Such a perfect written and brilliantly acted show. I get chills every time I hear the monologues, and the really powerful speeches the main characters give (Charles Vane's death scene for example). I wish they gave this show so much more recognition.

his facial expressions when he starts with "in the dark there is discovery".. so full of hope and dreams!
