Anne/Jack final scene

I’m absolutely delighted with those «firm hugging after the victory winter» final scenes, looking at Anne and Jack’s reunion I unintentionally realised that I need a couple of plaids, a cup of hot chocolate and to turn my garland with small lights on. And suddenly I hear John Lennon’s voice, and Happy Xmas starts playing. Unbelievable…

That scene reminds me of another underrated series with my fabulous David Tennant - «Around the world in 80 days» The picture is fantastic and the colour spectrum is so cozy. Highly recommend, especially for those, who are history series’ buffs as me!

Anyone read lips?

Season Three Episode One: Captain Flint is dreaming. in his dream he sees Miranda Barlow/Hamilton board the ship he’s on. She pauses, looks at him and speaks to him before turning and heading below decks. There is no audio when she speaks, so…. what does she say?

Glad about Ned low

From the moment he appeared at the start of season 2, I instantly didn’t like him, thought he was going to be the seasons big bad. The way he acted and went about things was super cringe. His quartermaster seemed like a solid lad tho.

I’m seriously gonna enjoy his death

And by him I mean the new Navy Captain of Nassau who gets super cocky and full himself when Rogers puts him in charge while he goes about defeating Teach. Also I thought this captain looked exactly the same as the guy who died in the plantation one episode before? I was super happy to see him die but turns out they’re completely different people.

Was the OST from the Season 2 Episode 4 ending scene ever released? (Sounds like a "Funeral at Sea" variant)

I was rewatching the ending scene of Season 2, Episode 4, and the background music playing in the final moments is absolutely incredible. You can hear it in this clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcHoqNSgkM0

To my ear, it sounds like it's basically a variant of Bear McCreary's "Funeral at Sea", but it has a distinctly different, more ominous build-up.

Does anyone know if this specific variation was ever officially released on any of the soundtracks? If not, does anyone happen to know of a clean rip or cover of it without the dialogue and sound effects?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'VE FINALLY FINISHED BLACK SAILS

I started to watch the series a long time ago and here I am. I appreciate advice given by everyone who saw my previous post, ignoring spoilers was the best way to maintain my interest 'till the end. Well, I collected the main points, which I'd like to pin here:

  1. I am about to kiss the golden hands of the scriptwriters, all their small scenes with the characters' reveals, intentions for the further plot, all the plot twists and intrigues at the end of each episode...it's giving like "wow", not less.

  2. A little bit upset of the Rogers' line, despite of his actions towards Teach and other pirates, he deserved more than this ending, QUITE more. I was shocked of the scene with a fire in the Flint's house, when Rogers literally holds Eleanor in his arms, crying bitterly. And then those scene during the trial...He is such a kitten, IDK.

  3. Didn't understand the illness thing in s3 for the plot, but maybe it's just my wrong interpretation (I'd never give up a thought that I adore the scriptwriters. "Save a horse, ride the scriptwriters of Black Sails")

  4. WHY SILVERFLINT ISN'T A CANON

  5. Ig I expected more deplorable ending for the pirates ('cause good always triumphs over bla bla), but u know how it works: bad ending - fans are disgruntled, good ending - either, so let it all be like that.

To sum up, it was a wonderful experience, the best historical pirate series I've EVER seen. And I'd LOVE to abreact, to discuss just everything, but I don't have anyone to do it with, and I feel that I told all my friends' ears off, so now I need someone to chat please help hahaha
Love you all, guys, thank you!

Season 2 Jack Rackham…

Jack was on that “Lobster too buttery, steak too juicy” type shit in season 2. What do you mean he had both Anne and Max showing him any degree of attention, let alone wanting to sleep with him on a regular basis, and this was his reaction to being on a ship with a bunch of undoubtedly smelly men. Insane work.

(This is intended entirely as a joke, it was supposed to be more so commentary on how hot Max and Anne are and less about their overall dynamic. I’m loving and welcome the discussions, but apologies if it has rubbed anyone the wrong way)

My favorite show.

Rewatching Black sails and it's probably my favorite show and I have nobody to talk about it with because it is criminally underrated. Does anybody else feel this way?

I've used the title theme to tell the story of Barbary Piracy

I know this is completely offtopic but I run a tourism page on instagram and have been doing reels on local history. Here in Portugal we got heavily affected by Barbary piracy for centuries and every town has stories of them. Now, I love Black Sails and the theme song by Bear Mcreary. It formed on my mind how perfect that song is to tell the story of the Pirates that have very little to do with Black Sails.

Hope you enjoy! Here's the link to it on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Da1N0PhNmGA/?igsh=ZXZiN3l2Njc3enIx

From Blackbeard to Netflix: Our Comic-Con panel on pirate history, Black Sails, One Piece & why pirates endure

I recently had the pleasure of moderating From Blackbeard to Netflix: Pirates in Modern Media at San Diego Comic-Con, and I've now uploaded the full panel for anyone interested in watching.

Joining me were pirate historians Dr. Rebecca Simon and Dr. Mark Hanna, Zach McGowan, who played Charles Vane on Black Sails, and director Lukas Ettlin, whose work includes both Black Sails and Netflix's One Piece.

We got into the history vs. mythology of pirates, how real pirates become fictional characters, the very different worlds of Black Sails, One Piece and Pirates of the Caribbean, and why pirate stories are still thriving more than 300 years after the Golden Age.

The response at Comic-Con was pretty amazing—the room filled to capacity and several hundred people waiting outside weren't able to get in. So I'm especially happy to finally be able to share the recording.

Full panel:
https://youtu.be/FIGCJXSrhrY

I'd be curious what the r/pirates crew thinks, particularly about the history-vs.-mythology discussion.

Muppet….Black Sails?

I’m watching Muppet Treasure Island and got inspired lol. I have no idea who the rest of of the crew is supposed to be, but Flint is perfect! 😂

Hornigold

This guys constant smug face seriously pisses me the fuck off, especially when he betrays everyone and is working for the Navy. I’m just about to finish s3, was happy to see Dufresne meet his end, hope Hornigold meets the same fate.

Black Sails is a masterpiece. Go watch it (or rewatch it)!

Hello everyone. I just finished rewatching Black Sails and seriously, it was the best thing I have ever watched! I first watched it a couple of years ago and I was like this is a really good show, but on the rewatch... Jesus, it was a masterpiece! Especially season 1. I mean not in comparison but once you already know what's going on, it makes much more sense and it feels much more interesting! I don't know if I was too young when I first watched it or what, but I couldn't understand the depth of it especially Flint's character. It was almost like an entirely different experience.

I rewatched it because my sister insisted and I almost didn't want to agree and I can't believe I almost missed out! I have a lot of theories and analyses that I want to share but I'm afraid it might be too late since it's been more than a decade since it first aired. I just can't believe I didn't watch it back then, it could be a lot of fun talking to other fans about it, but to be fair I couldn't, it wouldn't be proper for my age lol.

I just wanted to tell you all it was the coolest series I have ever seen and I don't know what to watch after this. I stopped watching House of the Dragon because it felt so empty in comparison lol. Now I'm afraid nothing will feel this good it definitely set the bar so high for me now!

I never ever share anything but for this I had to. I need to tell everybody to go and fucking watch this masterpiece!

Theory: Samuel Bellamy IS in Black Sails

Minor spoilers for Season 4: >!When the pirates get back to the maroon camp in Season 4, it is noted that some other pirates came from as far away as Massachusetts. Later, when Flint is talking to the group, he mentions potentially ”sacking Boston.” The camera then goes immediately to this individual. Now, in terms of actual Golden Age pirates this could be, it’s one of 2 men: Samuel Bellamy, or William Fly. Bellamy has already been referenced in the show a couple of times, and this man has his signature black hair, so I theorize that this is him. I’m curious to hear your guys’ thoughts, what do you think?!<

Just wow

Really short post but : I’m 23 I’ve been a really huge fan of Pirates of the Caribbean since I’m a child and always loved the pirates universe.

Just discovered this show and it’s simply amazing, idk how it didn’t get much recognition or why I haven’t heard about it before but DAMN.
The actors are good, the story is good, based on a lot of things that really happened etc…

I just love the show (probably going in my top 2 to be honest)

Have a great day (just wanted to share some happiness there)

In a scenario where Flint manages to capture the Spanish gold, could he avoid reprisals from the Spanish by making it look like the British took the gold instead?

Maybe he could leave a piece of the Union Jack on the beach.
