Good start to the season. Flint and Silver working together is enjoyable.

I wouldn't have minded a recap at the beginning of the episode.

FloatingVoter · 26-01-2015 2:12am

Excellent stuff. This is obviously the start of the real junior / senior partnership between Long John / Flint that was hinted at in Treasure Island.

Clareman · 26-01-2015 10:13am

Good show this, really fill the void of mindless violence & nudity left by Spartacus

somesoldiers · 26-01-2015 1:41pm

Did anyone watch Crossbones as well as this? I enjoyed this more and only stuck a few episodes of crossbones before I gave up

Clareman · 26-01-2015 3:10pm

I tried to watch Crossbones a couple of times but I just couldn't get into it so I dropped it fairly quickly

expectationlost · 27-01-2015 12:49am

I think they just shaved his hair off

Edit: ...No you're right they did recast

Jannes is overcoming brain cancer, which flared up suddenly late 2013, sadly forcing him to leave the cast of Black Sails. When asked about this time he says, "Well two things happened: I got my big break... and then I broke. But I'm blessed to have had the experience. It was like winning the career lottery. I met some great people and made lifelong friends."

Terribly sad for the actor.

Flipping heck! Great episode and

Billy Fecking Bones!

satguy · 01-02-2015 2:01pm

Really great episode this weekend,, This new captain seems to be a bit of a nutter, only two weeks in and he has already

wiped out one crew, and beheaded some guy down the local bar. If he keeps that up, he'll be barred from that bar, OH wait, I think he killed the doorman after the beheading so maybe he'll be ok for a pint next weekend after all.

duridian · 01-02-2015 8:24pm

I'd say Vane versus Low is gonna happen down the line.

The poor little dairy goat. No manners these guys.

expectationlost · 02-02-2015 2:28am

great show, great episode, love all the scheming, the flashbacks are intriguing too

InTheTrees · 04-02-2015 8:03am

I just discovered Black Sails a few weeks ago and been really enjoying it.

squonk · 04-02-2015 10:54am

I'm really enjoying having this back myself. The last pirate related show I had in my brain was Crossbones and it's easy to see already with Season 2 of Black Sails how far superior it is to that show. Great to have it back!

satguy · 08-02-2015 11:02am

WOW !!! ,, This weeks episode was a humdinger,,

I grabbed it in full 1080p, all 3.7GB of it,, and watched it fullscreen with VLC on my 40 inch full HD TV..

It's the best show on TV at the moment, and Sunday morning has become my " Tea, Toast, and Captain Flint Morning " ...

Sudden Valley · 08-02-2015 10:27pm

wow usually shows are predictable in which characters they're going to get rid of but I didn't see that assassination coming. It was actually a pity as I was digging that character. Anyway I think flint is being a bit reckless here and hope Vane and Guthrie win the day.

duridian · 08-02-2015 10:42pm

Must say that when I predicted Vane vs Low last week I did not expect them to face off this soon.

stiffler123 · 08-02-2015 10:44pm

Season two has been great so far, enjoying it a lot more than season 1. Shame the showdown with Vane and Low wasn't a bit longer.

Xenji · 08-02-2015 10:49pm

Been watching this since the start of Season 1, the show is in no way groundbreaking or a must watch and has hackneyed acting at times, but it is something nice on a Sunday to unwind with and not to take seriously.

GottaGetGatt · 08-02-2015 11:38pm

Excellent Episode, Season 2 has been very strong so far.Loved how the fight wasn't so one sided.

Looking forward to next week.I'm routing for both sides.

FloatingVoter · 09-02-2015 12:39am

As regards next week - Vane is no lover of the land - if Flint even appears to be getting the upper hand, Vane will up sticks and sail for Carolina looking for his ransom money.
Nice bargaining on his part - in return for everything, "I'll give you a head-start". Head off more like it.

InTheTrees · 09-02-2015 1:26am

I get annoyed by the actor playing Vane.

The loud nasal whisper is odd. I keep wanting to tell him to clear his throat.

:cool:

S02E04 1080p,,, Come to Daddy,, 3 more hours to wait...

Woa... cliff hanger. Not the way i thought things would go. Now I have to wait till next week...

he needs a ship... if flint had a spare one to give him im sure he'd take it in return for the fort, but that might be where mr pencil moustache comes in.

Yes, I'm sure Vane in need would join the nearest orderly queue. He cuts heads off psychopaths when there's nothing better to do. He'll take one and give the previous owner a rubber duck or a job. Someone needs to get that girl to Ashe and have a high seas battle or whatever. The plot should make sure he gets his wee boat.

He has the daughter of Lord Ashe in his care. He intends to ransom her. He recently chopped a bad lads head off and displayed it in public. Are you on season 2 ?

I just thought perhaps you could take it down a notch or twenty.

Nzinga · 22-02-2015 4:39am

My reaction to tonight's show, what!!! what!!! what!!! Flint and Thomas! Never crossed my mind! It took me a minute to wrap my brain around what I was seeing. Great episode, outstanding acting no writing. Can't wait for next week!

InTheTrees · 22-02-2015 7:14am

Wh....????

Ok...

Clareman · 22-02-2015 1:05pm

Wow, great twist and ending there, I'm guessing the next episode is mainly the fight between the 2 captains, just 3 episodes to go

I think I saw that it was renewed for next season.

FloatingVoter · 22-02-2015 7:48pm

Well, that's one in the neck for anybody complaining about rampant lesbianism. Equal rights for all.

Was flint knocking boots with Mrs. Barlow, I can't actually remember if they did or if it was just implied that they were lovers?
If they were then this latest twist is idiotic, if they weren't then their 'relationship' was a fantastic and subtle bit of misdirection.

The series has been renewed for a third season, I'm extatic, it's been brilliant this year, practically every episode has been full of action, jawdropping twists and clifhangers. Black Sails is easily the most entertaining show on at the moment.

I don't think it was ever shown, just alluded to, bit like the scene in the carriage, ffs I didn't get it when yerman was sent to the Psyco Ward or his father was alluding to it or when Flint was being kicked out of the navy

I know, all I could think was, over an affair? Are you kidding, sure the aristocracy were all at that, then I was all, like, ...Ooooh! as the penny dropped.

I was sure however that Flint and Elanor were lovers, but perhaps it was just implied, with this show they could have been butt nekked in a threesome with the dairy goat in one scene earlier in the season and I'd probably have forgotten, there's so much banging going on that it would just have been lost in the fog of nudity.

FloatingVoter · 24-02-2015 12:29pm

Flint swings both ways. Happens now, it happened then. Ever heard the saying "any port in a storm" ?

They certiantly have on flint's ship, the poor dairy goat!

Still, if that's the case then the impact of the latest revelations is somewhat muted and smacks of lazy sensationalism rather then a really clever bait and switch by the writers..

expectationlost · 24-02-2015 8:11pm

have we seen Ashe before not in England?

expectationlost · 24-02-2015 8:18pm

surely breaking Thomas out of prison/hospital would be easier then taking over the Island

expectationlost · 01-03-2015 8:35pm

another ep where nobody is going to do what they said they'd do

but hey go captain jack

Sudden Valley · 01-03-2015 10:12pm

so all we got were two weeks of only slightly attacking the fort. We can safely assume there will be no new attack next week as the challenge to flints leadership will fail. I'm a bit disappointed.

shinny · 08-03-2015 11:04am

Holy crap, double crossing everywhere. The scene between Vane and Eleanor was stunningly intense.

Billy, well played. Didn't just catch Dufresne out, you caught me out too!

Silver, well can't say that surprised me too much.

So who has Richard run into at the end? I think he's about to double cross Eleanor....

Sudden Valley · 08-03-2015 9:45pm

Not sure if I get why Billy Bones why told them of the reward for Flints capture if he was not to support going down the route himself.

Very interested in where Silver's plan is going. Still quite a number of episodes left.

expectationlost · 09-03-2015 12:41am

was that the English?

getting fed up with yer one, she a pyscho, she killed one of your girls, get rid of her

GottaGetGatt · 15-03-2015 2:53pm

Vane is one smart son of a bitch.Best character in the show and he was only in the episode for 10 seconds.
