I think there's a quick shot of the kitty running past the cauldron that they recycled from the earlier scene of the kitty that they just threw in there during the leg-chop scene. I wasn't sure if my eyes were playing with me, but I'm pretty sure they just reused the three-second footage of it, so the kitty is safe.

Probably way off, but those are the vibes I'm getting. This is all I could think of: http://youtu.be/FyRPmMi1Mio [fast forward to 1:08]

Five Cent Deposit posted:You'll see more of that big dude in a future episode, yes. Also next week's episode has a sea battle. Reading this, I figure Flint's going to want to attack the captain who was supposed to give him the cannons before he gets them back aboard and ready to use, then I remembered Flint's ship is still beached and being repaired. There is Vane's ship, was that one beached too?

Tokubetsu posted:This episode is the show I think people wanted. Yeah this is definitely the "Just watch this one episode and see if you like it" episode for this show. Having the boarding happen mostly through the accountant's perspective was a smart way to do that kind of thing without having to spend a shitload on ship-on-ship CGI and a giant brawl with 200 extras. And I really like that Vane and Rackham both just kind of have their own thing going on and aren't just token Bad Guys sitting on the sidelines waiting for the plot to need them, while still being reasonably connected to what's going on with Flint and Eleanor.

drat, that episode owned. I really enjoyed how they showed the boarding action as a very planned and deliberate affair, rather than just the old "sail up to them and swing on ropes a lot". Also, do we know who exactly captains the Scarborough and why he'd help the slaver?

Yup, it's Captain Hume and he was the guy in Guthrie's office that wanted to arrest them all, before Flint/Billy knocked him and his guys out and Guthrie got shot. The Scarborough is, presumably, an English military ship with a whole bunch of guns and a whole bunch of armed men on it.

(I should say that I routinely get lost in nautical terminology and know gently caress-all about how boats actually work, so I appreciate that mild History Channel vibe.) They also did a good job with the sharpshooter. It's hard enough hitting a target from that far away with iron sights; try doing it when you and your target are bobbing like buoys. I like that they worked that bit in.

AtraMorS posted:I liked that approach too. It's pretty obvious they wanted this to have a mild History Channel sort of vibe ("...and this is where the term 'knots' comes from!"), and he worked pretty well as an audience-insert. It also made it doubly brutal when he nuts up and goes Hamster-style on the guy's throat because audience-inserts just don't do that. If I am not mistaken a bunch of the old muskets didn't have ironsights because you weren't supossed to aim too much just shoot in the general direction with the rest of your battalion and hope someone hits something.

I think it's still just called aiming. Maybe something unoriginal like "sightless aiming. " I'm sure a TFR goon would probably know for sure.

Strabo posted:How can you tell? Isn't the only difference between old-time rifles and muskets the presence/absence of grooves in the barrel? Rifles were generally more slender and usually lacked bayonet mounts as well. They were pretty expensive and subject to fouling so they never really had much widespread use until the Minie ball.

I was kind of on the fence for the show but reading this thread inspired me to check it out .. This show is really, really good! Thanks TV IV for convincing me how good it was. I had to know what "fruit fruit tits tits plant plant" meant and boy am I glad I know now. This show reminds me of Deadwood / Boardwalk Empire and that is exactly what I wanted. I'm only on the 3rd episode but can't wait to get off work tomorrow to get caught up on the series.

Yeah this is where I'm at (finished the third ep last night) and I am completely sold on this show. I don't think there's a single bad character in it (well, Silver is a very 'different' character compared to the rest, but that's sort of the point isn't it). When Max publicly spurned Eleanor and went to Vane I was all  and the quartermasters interacting is pure gold.

the modern dialogue dropped carelessly in, people saying "Get the gently caress out" or "What the gently caress?" or an old english man with pretensions of grandeur using the word "dumber" and so on, really knocks the show down and ruins otherwise good scenes. it's just so lazy on the part of the writers. Rome and deadwood used swearing really well - "Juno's oval office man, does your blood run mad?!" - working it into period phrasing. of course it certainly doesn't help when the actors, particularly the guthrie woman who seems to be always telling someone to get the gently caress out, are incapable of delivering even the modern phrases convincingly. other than that it's a great show. still waiting for that samurai pirate to flip out and do something awesome, saw him kissing his sword there before the boarding and thought we were in for it but I guess they're storing it up for later.
