Never thought it was cheesy or shoe horned in. It was the motivation of why this man does the things he does. You already knew he had blind rage and unwavering determination to his goal, this just told more of why instead of being the characters only trait.


Good to see the Movie board starting to accept that gays, women, minorities, etc do exist in the world. And it’s okay to have 40 hour series motivated by gay love.

ETA: as for the gay stuff, it’s not overwhelming and isn’t a main focus of the show. Just one of the characters happens to be gay. It wasn’t really a big deal from what I remember.



***MAJOR SPOILERS below this line***

There's absolutely zero political agenda attached to Flint being gay.

And even though his love for Thomas is crucially important to the story, it's barely even mentioned throughout the series. No gratuitous gay love scenes or anything of that nature.

Back to the discussion at hand, Flint dropping that he trusts Billy Bones more than Silver by a mile in S1, E4.

I found nothing heavy handed with Flints outcome and charecter.

It took nothing away from the story depicted IMO.

I could care less, it wasn’t forced at all.

Exactly.

The people pissing and moaning about it….what are you seeing?

It’s barely referenced.

If anyone knows the name of the song that’s playing during the Thomas/flint reveal I would really like to know. I don’t think they ever released the OST for season 2 and maybe the song is nation of thieves from season 1 but I’ve always thought it was a different song.

The story gets so much better and it approaches the ending. It’s amazing.

Our Flag Means Death and this show really push gay Pirates. The leads of both shows are gay. I just don’t want to see that - not that there is anything wrong with it. It’s just not my thing.



I was tempted to give this show a shot until I saw this. No thanks….shout out to y’all for the warning

I really wish you Poli guys would just stick to your own board.

There was no reason for you to post in this thread. None.

Black Sails is a terrific show. It's not about gay pirates. Open your stupid fricking mind.

I tried to Shazam it and nothing came up for it. And TuneFind didn't have any music listed for the episode either.

There’s one gay pirate. And technically, he’d be bi. There are more than enough titties to make up for the one gay scene that is 10x less gay than some stuff you’d see on Game of Thrones.

You’re really missing out on an all time great show if you let that stop you. Not even remotely close to Our Flag Means Death, there’s no “gay pirate agenda” being pushed. I can’t believe I actually had to type that out

Say what? The main character was gay!
