It is the season three finale, and we are carrying on without Vane!!!
The British Navy is preparing to storm the beach while John as set a plan in motion that relies on one man. One man who has not proved their loyalty. Yikes!
The path of this war is about to change. And to my surprise, Billy is kicking the pebble to start the avalanche.
Are you ready? Let's go!

I just need to say that I freaking love this show. I thought this episode really killed it. It was a great season finale. Like Gillian said, the framing of scenes interspersed with yet another wonderful Flint/Silver conversation was beautiful. And the contents of that conversation was fascinating. It is truly amazing how, in 28 episodes, John has gone from this weak, cowardly, conniving hustler to a confident, driven, respected student and rival of Flint. And at no point did I think it felt contrived. And Billy and his gang of conspirators, understanding the power of gossip and stories... I got chills listening to Max read that letter at the end. Looking forward to watching S4 with you, and glad you're on the mend. Hope you're 100% soon.

2025-01-18 20:01:05 +0000 UTC100% agreed about the way the whole episode was framed. Both sides of it, the conversation and the battle, are both captivating, but intertwined like that was beautiful. I thought they did a really good job introducing those elements of TI that you mentioned, with one season left to build those up. I read the book again after this show ended the first time and I do think they did a good job with that, particularly with John. He's different, in the book, but in a way that tracks from here to there.

2025-01-18 19:53:58 +0000 UTCI love the way this episode is put together - the juxtaposition of the quiet fireside conversation (Flint really told Silver everything!) and the epic battle. Then the building of a legend back in Nassau - so good! The first time I watched this, knowing the end of the series was coming soon, I was excited to see the more theatrical elements from Treasure Island being introduced - buried treasure, the black spot, the legend of Long John Silver - they feel earned in a way they wouldn't have if they'd been there from the start of the series. But also I wanted to know how close to the start of the book would we get by the end of the series? I won't mention specifics as you haven't read the book, but some characters have a way to go compared to their literary depiction. How would they deal with the 'loosely historical characters' compared to the fictional?
