Thought I'd mention this, since Black Sails has a lot of tall ships: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3568740/Captain-Cook-s-HMS-Endeavour-United-States.html?ito=social-facebook Archaeologists believe they've found the HMS Endeavour, Captain Cook's ship, off Newport, Rhode Island.

Darnit...I suppose therein lies the risk of actually going the distance and not relying on CGI. I'm glad no one was hurt, at least from what I could read, but yea...this'll deffo throw a wrench in their budget/schedule.

I agree it probably messes with the production schedule, but I have to think they have insurance for these kinds of accidents.

Just binged S3 after watching S2 live last year. I didn't think S2 could be topped but drat, this show is loving.....tight! I was so invested in every character in the last episode. And man, Ray S as Blackbeard is so perfect, this show is so sexy

Makes sense in the story too. They're heading to war, and there probably won't be many survivors.

Shows should not run past their expiration dates just because they're doing good. It always sours me on a show when you have a fantastic couple of early seasons and then the later seasons just re-threads plotlines and character development like a broken record to the point of self-parody (Looking at you Oz  ) because the writers ran out of ideas.

Well, that sucks. At least they're choosing to do it and they always had an end point they were working towards. That and the writers have done good on this show so far (as well as the actors, and set design, costume design, sound, directors, gently caress they did everything pretty good on this show) so I trust them to go out on a strong note. I wonder if they're going to include Treasure Island in the last episode(s) of if they hope to make a movie.

They could have gotten 4 real 10 episode seasons out of spartacus easy. Still a great show!

Yeah, historically the absent/shortened events which could have been covered in Spartacus seasons 3 and 4 would have enough material for at least a few more seasons. They just ended up cramming them all into together. It still worked, but some of those set pieces could have been made for interesting longer plots. I'll also agree with it having arguably one of the best season finales of all time. As for Black Sails, I really was hoping we'd get a flash forward Treasure Island final season. Maybe we'll at least get a coda with old Billy Bones.

Aw gently caress this kind of sucks but since it's on their own terms I'm not that bummed. I'm a little weirded out that this is going to lead directly into Treasure Island though, wasn't this set like 40 years before the books? Going to be some time fuckery methinks.

I'm sure it'll just go up until Flint betrays them and buries the treasure. It's been a long time since I read Treasure Island, but I'm pretty sure no one but Gunn knows where the treasure really is.

Kinda sad on the one hand, but as others have said yea...I am now even moreso interested to see how they wrap it all up and after my expectations for Season 3 I didn't think that was possible!

It's not going to lead directly in time wise. There's a significant amount of time between the treasure being buried and the beginning of Treasure Island.

The funny thing is that 4 years is actually longer than most of the historical pirates' careers. If you look on Wikipedia you see a lot of 1-2 year runs once they turn pirate.

Well I finally got around to playing Assassin's Creed IV and I must say it feels very much like "Black Sails: The Game". Either that or Black Sails is "Assassin's Creed IV: The TV Show". Did either one rip off the other? I enjoy both very much (with the exception of the Templar vs. Assassin plot in the game which leaves me cold, or the modern day computer hacker stuff).
