    That one death scene in season 4, yea, that was probably the most gruesome thing I've ever seen on television. It was fucking amazing. The whole way that scene played out, at first I was like "oh, that doesn't look so bad.." then he comes up and I wonder "why is he all shredded?".. then they show you. My favorite thing about it though is that, while not how that man saw is end historically, it was a way that many men did, and I don't think I've ever seen it portrayed before, and if I have, it certainly wasn't done that well. This show was such a 10 out of 10, I'm upset it took me so long to find it. Rare to see a show start this good, and literally get better every season until it has an almost perfect ending, and then you can read a 150 y.o. book to hear what happens next lol. EDIT: I had no idea people didn't like the first season, I was hooked from the start. The quality of writing, and elevation of narrative above all else was so refreshing to me. I think it may be due to the tv shows we've had in recent years, and their tendency to fall apart shortly after starting. It definitely left me craving something better, and that had depth, and Black Sails has that in spades.

    Islamophobia? I think you’re using modern left-wing liberal presumptions at critics who watched this movie. As it can clearly be seen throughout the film, it is the teachings of Islam that have led the Arab people to the brink. The Taliban, Isis, Hamas, etc. are the groups that eviscerate their own people in order to suppress their individualism. Islam is oppression and chaos. These innocent people need to be liberated from Islam.

    I've been a lifelong James Bond afficionado and for the longest time my only contact with Toby Stephen's was as the main antagonist in "Die Another Day". I'm sure Toby did his best but it is a very lackluster and forgettable performance. I just recently finished Black Sails and was absolutely mesmerized by Toby. It honestly took me a few episodes to place where I knew him from. He has a certain tendency to clench his jaw and show his lower teeth when he conveys anger that I had seen somewhere before. Now his performance on Black Sails and his portrayal of Gustav Graves is so starkly different it should be studied. I understand one is a movie and one is a series but even if any one episode is held against his portrayal in the movie it is glaringly different. Toby Stephen's absolutely blew me away as Capt Flint. Bravo!

  • @mmmuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiirrrrr

    I introduced my oldest daughter Black Sails. The next night, she called me at midnight and said, "Mom, you're not gonna believe this. I was watching Black Sails and they showed this flashback and there was this guy and Captain Flint just KISSED him." Lol.

  • @Kay2be2mr

    I'm a big believer that if a character has to die because it benefits the story, than he or she should die. But I see how avoiding that bury your gays trope was smart because the amount of hate that would've brought on, especially considering how queer the show is to begin with would've turned many people against this show. Sadly those deaths in those other shows have left a bad taste in so many people's mouths that there's no coming back from it anytime anyone discusses those other shows. I'd rather the show stay with a small audience but be considered overall well loved than to have something stain it for all eternity.

    Just started watching. I was hoping for a gritty, realistic pirate-themed series. After thirty minutes I have a series produced by nitwits where every pirate has perfect teeth, all the women are LA Fitness clean and all of the sets are cleaner than Disney World. The show is obviously produced by avacado toast people who like to believe everyone back then looks just like people today - they do not. A pirate would have been lucky to be alive at age thirty,m and he would have been even luckier to have half of his teeth and no STDs staining his filthy britches. And no woman - cleaner and better dressed than Uma Thurman - would be bossing around pirates and making loans; no woman - especially the non-STD-afflicted prostitutes - would be speaking to any of these men in any tone. DEI has its paws on this show, it is obvious. I will keep watching but I am typing this as the rest of episode One plays in the other room - I am missing nothing of importance, I am sure.

    I just finished watching Black Sails on Netflix and I thoroughly enjoyed your analysis. I also enjoy our kindred spirit. I am most critical of the things I really love in the hopes for the always unattainable perfection. Unfortunately, that can be very frustrating and perplexing for some of the people I love. That being said, this show was as close to perfect in all aspects as you could expect from any!

    I watched it from S1 E1 all the way to S4 E3 Once Teach was shot in the head by Rogers that just confirmed for me that the show wasn't following actual history and killed it for me. I hit stop and backed out of the episode and gave the entire series a big dislike button.

    • @Kay2be2mr

    Ehh...(?) Here be me, years later in hopes for entertainment by any enraged comments about buttpirates. . The ending criticism almost made sense until the reasoning got a little edgy. If the show being dark, and Flint being violent, were reasons to kill his character, there wouldn't be much point in the story existing. That's a strange enforcement of values just to end them. It's hard to balance an ending, but realistic isn't just hail nihilism, like in older Ramero flicks. More often realism turns out to be functional absurdity, otherwise your fictional story would be a waste of time, too much like real life. Why watch so much sound and fury signify nothing? Who wants a story about dead buttpirates?

    flint should of lived and the show should have kept going. silver now king of the pirates with max and rackum go to find the treasure and sure up nassau bringing back billy who was stranded for 2 years but had the treasure. max and silver disagree about how to use the money but max using her influence to push silver eventually getting her killed. flint and thomas are found out and have to escape the owners thomas dying in the process wants revenge using piracy to get men to attack cities and ports against the demand he stops by silver but continues anyway making the british come after them at nassau giving no pardons but bullets but as the fort was repaired able to hold the british to a stalemate resolving in pardons but british occupation ending piracy in nassau flint who stole the treasure eventually takes it to a different island than skeleton island buried it and kept the map on his person billy gunn staying to steal it him self and get off the island but never could. later billy and flint having drinks alone far from prying eyes because flint wanted to let him know where the map was incase something happens to him and shows billy the map billy immediately shoots flint square in the chest killing him and keeping the treasure. as for silver he talks his way into being a cook as in the beginning of treasure island. then make the treasure island movie

    I think the awnser for the ending is due to the show got canceled. It was supposed to get one more season but due to the cancelation we got an unplanned early ending that tried to wrap things up as best as they could on the fly.

    Too literal an interpretation. The movie is not the novel. It’s better. There ARE actual serial killers. There ARE men with anger issues and in reality both are tolerated at women’s expense. But they are not equivalent. Every angry man is not a serial killer but every SK is an angry man. Violence or aggression - anger- need not end in death. Anger in a marriage may end the union but not take lives, and under different circumstances may not end the marriage. Doubtful but possible. I’m glad Ray refused to have Dix kill Laurel. Equally glad Laurel was allowed to walk away.
