2018-05-01 14:32:43 +0000 UTC(Well I'm sorry, sometimes I can't get to videos as fast, you know? Real life happens, though obviously Black Sails *should* go first. π) This show is excellent at building up tension, isn't it? I think the ending of this episode is one of my favorite Black Sails reactions of yours this far. Just how you really don't know what Flint is going to do. Really enjoyed the commentary to both the conflict between Flint and Vane (and how yes, everyone is assuming Vane is unchangeable), about the flashbacks and... Well, the problem with talking about an episode like this is that it's all build-up, and I can't talk about it all with its proper context without the result. Because there is just so much in here building up to whatever comes next, I mean it ends on a cliffhanger in almost every plot-thread, and I can't really say much about that, can I? Oh, and I wouldn't say necessarily that this show doesn't go with the reasonable choice, or that it always defies expectation. Rather, I think its writers knows how to write humans very well, and everyone in it is incredibly human, in everything they do. Eric's Flint impressions continues to be amazing, and everyone's joy at seeing Joji (the samurai pirate) as well as Randall makes me so happy. And I'm glad they were missing the presence of Silver! He didn't do much in this, but I have to say, his conversation with Flint and about how Flint is actually really concerned with how he's perceived is one of my favorite conversations in the entire show. I think that theme goes back all the way to episode 1 where the Captain of the Scarborough talks about how society is held together by shame. And I'm glad that they made the parallel back to what Miranda was telling James in the flashback. The conversation with Alfred Hamilton is definitely one of the most *tense* moments in the entire show. I can definitely relate to that feeling, though obviously not in this context, but of being over at a friend's house, and suddenly they're arguing with their parents over dinner and it's just... the tensest thing ever. And they definitely got that dread across here. And James asking Alfred Hamilton to leave his own house, again, one of my favorite moments. Other than that, I can't say I have much to say about this episode. We're left with so many plot-threads having at what feels like the cusp of... something. Flint and the fort. Billy being back. Eleanor and her dad. Jack, Anne and Max. Miranda finding out about Abigail Ashe. The flashback as well. Overall, this episode I think can be best described as "the calm before the storm", with how it builds up to that final line - "Fire". Obviously, having said that, I have to end with: Can't wait until next week.

2018-05-01 14:32:11 +0000 UTCwhat the fuck? I am not native in English and I have not seen the anime avatar and there's a big difference (I'd presume) between that show and a live action show as black sails which is not of supernatural elements. "i swear between this and avatar, all people can talk about is the same fucking thing." I wondered what the same "fucking thing" was? HOW did you get all that conclusion from "people like me" asking a simple question?
