The fact that a series can combine deep sadness, the story of how a man was ready to burn the world he knew to the ground out of grief, with some of the funniest scenes (at least I have ever seen) is magical
Linus: Captain Linus Harcourt of the Goliath Jack: Your ship is named after the greatest disappointment in the history of warfare Linus: They like how it sounds
I must be freaking blind, I was wondering why familiar names popped up in this show, it's supposed to be a prequel to the book "Treasure Island" Sheesh I wasn't thinking at all.
Don't worry bro it took me right up to the point when silver said he had a very long memory and called himself long John silver in s3. Girlfriend hasn't let me live it down.
@@tqh6067 ya an adult version that is a direct sequel to black sails would be awesome, it’s one of those things that if they did it right it would could be incredible and if they did it wrong, it would be terrible
If there is one thing I've learned from watchin Black Sails, it is this: If you ever find yourself serving as a crewman on a pirate ship... Don't fuck the dairy goat!
I’m in season 3 of this show right now and it has blown me away how good it is. I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. John Silver is one of my favorite TV characters ever.
Watched this for a second time and it’s still brilliant, a really great show. And they need to get on with treasure island. The world needs some pirate escapism
"I was going to say 'unlucky'." I have to admit I howled at that. The look Flint had is priceless lol I haven't seen this show in ages and a recent bout of pirate sickness brought me back. Thanks for this video 😝
".... you're.. not black beard.." Still one of the greatest scenes. That and captain naft trying to sell the counterfit painting "fruit, fruit.. tits tits.."
Lol why must you mention game of thrones thrones to praise black sails? I don’t get it both are amazing shows. Also btw game of thrones is certainly funnier and has more humor that’s not even a debate imo.
Wow this was a really great edit! That's a crime you only have 74 subscibers, should be way more. I'm currently on season 3 and damn SUCH a good show I can't believe I'd never heard of it before
John Longsilver's Parrot Pirate (on deck):"Ahoy, Ye bastards! Hell, we're doing 90! Feel the F-king Salt in the Breeze,Who pulled my tail feathers matey?"
What recasts besides Dufrene?(og actor got cancer) Also the gay stuff is just fine, especially Anne/Max/Jack which was based on a real thing. Gay people have always existed lol and they did it very well, you'rr just allowing a hyperfocus on politics to ruin your ability to empathize with people. You see "gay people" instead of people who are gay
I stopped watching this show after Jack puts on a pair of sunglasses. The "fuck tent" was bad enough as was the gratuitous homosexuality but a little historical innacuracy I can tolerate but the sun glasses? This show desperately wanted to be Game of Thrones.
@theprelate4219 LMAO no. Trust me I just finished the series it's definitely not. I can see where you are coming from and felt a little of it but we just aren't used to it. Besides the sex scenes are less frequent later on, especially the the threepeat. I highly recommend you give the show another shot, it has some terrific writing
@@edgaraf9411 Sorry I just don't agree. I have seen it and the characters are too dimensional, the sex is used as filler, and the plot is aimless. It wants to be Game of Thrones but it misunderstands what makes that show work.
12:32 ~ Probably one of my favorite comedic scenes as John wasn’t yet liked by the crew, but even they are exasperated at a fellow crew member’s idiocy
