I loved the ending shot of that last episode, with Vane standing before the mystery man - he looked like a giant with the fire lighting him, everything else in shadow. Vane looked so small in comparison. Sad to see that the show is only 8 episodes this season, the buildup of the early episodes has really paid off and I wonder how they are going to close off the season. What a quality show overall. WarLocke posted:Yeah either he'll be picked up by the Scarborough or he'll show up in Nassau at the helm of the ship they attacked, sailing it back all by his lonesome. I see him reaching the merchant ship and being "rescued," and half the episode being the captain of the HMS Scarborough going "Don't I know this guy from somewhere...?"

Who exactly is this giant dude and why is Vane seeing him in randomly appear/making an effort to go out to see him?

KatWithHands posted:They could explain it away as one sweep of his arms taking him a whole kilometer, and he just swam home, and I would not even question it. I would actually find it pretty believable if the next episode started with him catching up to the Walrus with every stroke making him fly up out of the water like a dolphin, just because of the sheer amount of water displaced by his forearms. He just launches himself up, clearing the rail and landing on the deck.

Since this is suppose to be a kind of prequel of sorts to Treasure Island I hope they actually do give their own interpretation of it towards the end of the series.

I'm finishing up episode 2 and while I normally don't notice this sort of thing I absolutely love how this show is shot. Also I just really like this show.

Gazaar posted:I'm finishing up episode 2 and while I normally don't notice this sort of thing I absolutely love how this show is shot. Also I just really like this show. Yeah, there's a lot to admire. I love the civilization on the island, and the show is very Deadwood in that regard. The intra-group politics is fairly complicated (if not nuanced), which isn't something I expected from a Michael Bay show. Gonna spoil this, since you said you were only on Ep. 2: Another bonus is that it's showing us things about pirates that we (read: I) have never seen before and doing it in a remarkably graceful fashion. Bringing the ship ashore to clean the hull pushed the plot forward, but it also shed some (pretty loving hilarious) insight into this version of pirate culture (in re: gently caress tent). Downsides: The acting is kind of spotty in parts and with the exception of Flint and the two quartermasters, there aren't a whole lot of characters I like and really want to see more of. But that dialogue between Flint and Vane, with Gates and Jack Rackham acting as their counsel, was loving hilarious. If the show can keep up that kind of writing--the kind that comes out of the story instead of the other way around, like the plot-driven scene where Eleanor fucks over Vane--then the show could really be something great.

I've switched my stance on Silver as well. It sounds insulting, but the less of him I see, the better I like him. Now that the focus seems to have switched to Billy and Flint, Silver is a lot more entertaining.

On a worse show Silver would be integrating into the crew right now with everyone liking/trusting him the episode after he tricked them, instead they chained him to a chair safe until he is needed like any smart pirate would do.

Yeah, having him at the sidelines mostly as a kind of unknown factor is probably the best place for him. It's really quite a relief that they're focusing more on the captains (and their quartermasters ) now, especially after they played him up so much as a/the main character during the first two episodes.

Usually shows like this pick a character and they're just like "LOVE THIS PERSON! SEE! BE INTERESTED! LOVE THEM!! LOOOOOOOOOVE THEM!" and it rarely works because they neglect the development of the other characters or make that main character so perfect and plot-armored that they break the suspension of disbelief. Spartacus did a good job having a main character that wasn't forced down people's throats along with several side characters that were equally entertaining and interesting. The Walking Dead has basically no interesting characters. This show has a couple. They're working with a nice balance overall. Jabbu fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Mar 6, 2014 |

Does she have/had Bell's Palsy? It kinda looks like she was talking out of the side of her mouth similar to how Deb did in Dexter

Vane took over the brothel and then immediately left while Jack was running after him trying to talk him into staying. Now his crew is dead which is going to a fun reveal when he gets back. But at least he's not banned anymore!

That almost sounds like the lead in to a joke.  I have no earthly clue. She wanted to I guess? I'm hoping it will be elaborated on in the next episode because it really felt out of nowhere.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but I ran across an article in the Smithsonian magazine the other day titled "The Last Days of Blackbeard" and thought some in the thread might find it interesting. I definitely did, although I don't know much about the history to begin with. Lots of familiar folks get namedropped along the way. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/last-days-blackbeard-180949440/?all AtraMorS fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Mar 7, 2014 |

Does anyone have access to high res (1920x1080) screenshots from the opening credits? I think they would make awesome desktop backgrounds, but I can't find gently caress all on google.
