re: Official BLACK SAILS Re-watch/1st Watch Thread - Current watch: S3, EP6 to S3, EP8

E4-E6 discussion.

Okay, so the story Morley tells Billy about how Flint killed that couple on that ship...do we know who that couple is or why Miranda would want them dead?

Man, Miranda has a fricking KILLER body. I forgot just how sneaky hot she is. Flint banging her and looking completely uninterested is hilarious though, and something I didn't grasp during my first watch. He says it's because she read that book to Richard Guthrie, but that's not the real reason...

Oh look, Eleanor is once again making stupid decisions with setting up taking Mr. Bryson's guns on the Andromache by force, even despite Mr. Scott's warnings. Shocker.

Flint is one lucky MFer to have Morley crushed by the ship.

The whole thing with Silver, Flint, and the pig was great.

Pretty big reveal from Richard Guthrie that Miranda is a Hamilton and her family founded the Bahamas, and also that Flint used to be a Royal Navy officer.

That scene on the beach where the old brothel lady (Mapleton) is using that giant syringe to clean out Max was rough. And we do learn that Anne is the one who threw Max to the wolves of The Ranger. When Max tells her that she's responsible and Anne hits her with the "I only thought they'd kill you." Brutal. Being a whore (or even just a woman) back in those days couldn't have been much fun.

I forget where Vane goes to get his mojo back. But I do remember it's weird and we see his weird arse body naked.

I forgot how cool the scene was where they finally catch the Andromache. Gave me huge Master and Commander vibes. And the whole plan with the sniper dude in the bird's nest shooting the helmsmen over and over to kill their wind was awesome. Seeing Billy try to help Dufresne by telling him nobody dies in their first fight was cool too, and holy shite Dufresne went primal when he ripped that dude's throat off...with his fricking mouth. That was wild. And even then when Flint and crew take over the ship, Bryson and his crew down are holed below in basically an armored room, and he sends the slave up to tell Flint that he sent word to the Scarborough and it's on the way...then the suicide bomb attempt at Flint by the slave. Just a badass scene all around.

You gotta love Miranda and how comfortable she is with being a sloot and how willing she is to throw it around whenever she needs to. And the pastor sex scene was hilarious. That shite was easy work for her. This is the description from the Black Sails fanpedia page:

She then seduces him and the two have sex, albeit very briefly, on her front porch.

Yeah, I'm not even sure "albeit very briefly" covers it.

I forgot about the scene with Billy and Flint. But I won't comment on that yet since there are some here who are on a first watch.


Absolutely loving this rewatch, and I remember that the whole thing with the Andromache chase is where the show really starts picking up. Are we going to still do three episodes for next week, or just the remaining two left in S1?
