Black Sails

Best show on TV.  It's Game of Thrones without all the magic and ice zombie mumbo jumbo and too many characters and plot lines to track.

That season 3 finale was the best hour of TV I think I've ever seen.  Great battles, excellent dialogue between characters, and the birth of Long John Silver.  

And the Bear McCreary score is just phenomenal.  That guy is a genius of cranking up intensity.

If you liked the first season you will LOVE the next two.  It really took off after the first season of building up the characters.  It really might be one of the best on and if you like GoT, you'd love Black Sails.  I'm not saying they are the same, but the epic characters, good action (not overdone), and a gritty show fit that bill.   It's really one of the most underrated shows ever, if it was on HBO or somewhere other than Starz it would be a massive hit.

lol gtfo

I have been wanting to try the show out again. I started watching season one episode one (it was an edited version IIRC) when it first aired and I couldn't stay awake.

But, I am a fan of nautical stuff, especially pirates...

Speaking of which, you'll get to meet some more pirates on GoT this season...

IMO season 2 wasn't good. season 3 is much better though.

Is this a pirate show? I could dig that.

Yeah. Mostly fictional but does use some history.  

Has most of the famous Pirates in fictional and non fictional

 

Flint

Hornago

Silver

Vain

Calico Jack

Anne Bonny

Blackbeard

Silver

 

Uses the historical context of pirates as the background.  Could have done a better job with Blackbeard.  But the rest of the characters are great.  Only Pirates I wish they would have had was Kidd and Morgan.

It is great haven't seen the last episode yet. 

Watch it asap!  Epic, cinema quality stuff.  And the Flint-Silver interaction and how it ties everything together is fantastic.  Let alone the bridge it creates moving into next season

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
