Also anyone wanting to watch/rewatch the Black Sails pilot, Starz put it up on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP-vbDtyMXw

No way that's TV-14 unless they cut out 20 minutes of it.

^But Spartacus had real characters too, and many of them died in real life early on in the war but lived until the (near) end of the series.

The bald quartermaster guy (...Gates? I'm bad with names) is quickly becoming my favourite character in this. "It's my mistake, really, when I said I we needed to be civil for this meeting to happen, I should have specified that this would go for the entire duration of the meeting." :allears:

I have to say the other quartermaster is quickly my favorite. He's so slimy and slick, much better than the Silver actor. I almost think he should have gotten the role.

My GF is convinced that Flint is the same actor as in GoT

Rome and deadwood used swearing really well - "Juno's oval office man, does your blood run mad?!" - working it into period phrasing.

Um, do you know what thread you're in? How dare you. HOW. DARE. YOU.

Can we finally let the comparisons to Spartacus go? We're 5 episodes in and this show is nothing like it. I get they're both on Starz and I would love nothing more than a spin off with Caesar and the first Triumvirate, but I just don't think we're gonna get it and this certainly isn't trying to be it either.

I think that other goon hit it on the head when he said it was more like a pirate Deadwood.

It's just that everyone in that thread came over to this thread, and occasionally we think misty-eyed about Jupiter's cock.

Pirates also used stinkpots. Stinkpots were small clay pots usually filled with burning sulfur (and sometimes plant gums, feces and rotten flesh) that were thrown onto the deck. A crude form of tear gas

:stare: I can't wait till we see that.

I want Vane's Quartermaster to have his own show. I could watch him for an hour just trying to talk his way out of problems.

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.

You can probably easily grab screencaps with a program like VLC Media player

edit: also there's this

What's really interesting is that I am going through the IMDB credit list, and the guy is literally uncredited. I can't find him anywhere. Nice work keeping it quiet it seems.

The whole time he was sitting there he was clenching trying to force out a fart. It just ended up happening at the appropriate time.

I was thinking he was the out of focus person that Flint saw when he woke up on the island, but then it turned out to be glasses man.

How the hell are they planning on getting the the gold off the island with no goddamn ship!!!! Honestly it wasn't so much a cliff-hanger for me more of a "we are completely hosed but drat look how close we came" type of ending :( I mean if the man o' war hadn't been there they would have been able to get the gold no problem

Um that's why it's called Treasure Island?
