We want to support the show. Do they take them out and scuttle them after stripping them of anything valuable? When it dawned on me near the end that the daughter was talking about Mr. I would prefer another end for Flint, as harsh as that may be. The safety of 1000 people is dependent upon keeping the island's existence a secret. He practically raised her while over-seeing Richard Guthrie's affairs in Nassau.
Very satisfying seeing Teach's fleet sailing off in the darkness. I love our boys, but I get the Queen too; what she is saying resonates today as well. Just another example of fully-realized characterization on the show. That's a solid intro to golden age piracy imo. Or question where she went? Scott who's not telling his Captain how he cannot change the laws of physics. Gates was an all-around good sailor, who wasn't the best at manipulation, who took care of his men like he his children.
Yeah, I just did the same thing after seeing the comments here -- watching the show with headphones on and closed-captions off on StarzPlay. I have resisted looking up the real pirates and reading about their fate -- cuz it is much more exciting for me to watch and yet not know what is supposed to happen. The daughter was saying that many on the island would take the pardons if England offered them. Do we think the natives somehow forced them to join the march to the other side of the island? Actually if I think about it too hard Maroon Island becomes even more ridiculous. Still -- I'd like to see the inhabitants of Maroon Island who are escaped slaves, not sailors figure out how to sail the Walrus into deep water and scuttle her, to say nothing of how to get a careened ship off one of their beaches. I really noticed how the music enhanced the Walrus crewman's panicked run through the forest and Vane's sword fight. What exactly happens to each of the characters here is an example of the latter.
But when Vane went hunting in the first episode it was on a different ship -- presumably the ship he took from Ned Low. If so -- the Walrus is still floating there. Scott gets to the island, he'll tell his wife that the British are already in Nassau and their little paradise is going to get found, so the best they can do is get the hell out and go somewhere else. Remember that beginning scene on the beach, where Max was trading the gold for black pearls? That's going to attract some attention eventually. Are you talking about who it was.
The history of Maroon peoples is very interesting. I really do not know where this plot is going, but I am fully along for the ride. Ben Gunn says he and his crew-mates were captured when they were careening a ship on the other side of the island. Scott was seeing the escaped slaves off the island. Scott have the time to establish Maroon Island? Actually if I think about it too hard Maroon Island becomes even more ridiculous. How long can people survive in an open rowboat without effective shelter from the elements and a significant supply of food and water? We saw it in the bay in episode 2. Most of these characters based on real life people would require a Google search or a trip to Wikipedia to find out their fates, it's not often known off the top of one's head.
Browsing this sub in pirate language is pretty fun. Scott into allowing them to leave? The Queen, alas, is right. My husband did look at me at one point though and ask if anybody can understand what Zach McGowan is saying half the time or whether his costars also need subtitles. Every penny will go towards future content. Spoiler tags: Spoiler tags are now implemented! The only one I ever heard of is Blackbeard -- Edward Teach. Looks like that's going to happen. Yup, they're definitely on Treasure Island.
What happens to all the ships? Maybe Mr Guthrie assumed she drowned in whatever shipwreck took them there and Scott was elsewhere and she managed to get word to him? The sound guys are letting down the side. Because, like the most of them, Anne Bonny was a real historical figure. I wonder if Flint would continue with the war if Thomas is alive? Hey, maybe ships going missing near this island is part of the mythos around the Bermuda Triangle. Scott's wound will require treatment back home on the island and that that will be the way they save Flint and company without having to somehow de-legitimize the Queen's argument and position, which, as has been pointed out, is quite rational. However, unlike my prediction last week, in which I said Max would end up as Mrs Silver, it would appear we have a new contender for the role: the Queen's daughter. There was no topic for tonight's episode so I started one.
I wonder if even Charles' scene partners have any idea what he is mumbling other than having read the script? His taking him into his confidence about the Nassau pardons really sealed that for me. I liked most of Jack's stuff from tonight. Sure, your mind went there, so did Silver's, but it still seems unlikely. This show did something a lesser show would not do, show us, the audience the point of view of black people. Hopefully though his wound isn't fatal: they've been wasting him so far, and I really want to see him reunited with Eleanor and his family before the end of the show.
