I hate that we lose Gates so early in the series. I get why Flint did it, but man talk about the worst way to prove to your crew that you're loyal to them....by killing your quartermaster and one of your best friends and closest confidants. RIP, Gates. What an awesome character.


When I was reading up on the actors I saw he was only in for 8 so I knew his time was coming to an end but now I hate the way he went out. I mean I get it but damn.

I feel like gates was the best guy out of all of the pirates. He knew that being loyal to the captain was equally as important to looking out for what was best for the crew and did his best to fulfill both roles. Even with looking out for Billy.

You can see that he and Flint were good friends and had a great amount of respect for one another. Same with him and Hornigold.

Gates has been around for a while and proved he was a quality dude, at least when it came to being a pirate.




While reading episode summaries I saw that Dufresnes tattoo was of a shark bite, didn’t catch that while watching.

I still don’t know why Albinus was proud of Vane? Coming back after successfully escaping? Was Vane really seeing Albinus or was that visions of him that caused Vane to go back?

I’m also watching these episodes while working so I do miss some things here or there.

Also was it the crew of the walrus and revenge looting the urca gold or was that the Spanish guys picking it up?

That sucks.

That's such a great scene when Flint kills Gates:

"You think I'm inciting a mutiny?"
"You are inciting a mutiny."
"I'M MANAGING ONE!"

Vane was seeing visions of Albinus which made him go back to the island. And Albinus was proud of him because he knows what kind of life he had on that island. He was basically saying it takes a strong man to leave and then come back, so he was proud of him in that way (not in a "but I won't kill you now" kind of way). And in his mind he was the one who made Vane strong and what he is today.

It's the Urca crew with their gold. They were all pissed off when the Urca wasn't in the inlet they thought it would be in. But like Silver said, they didn't account for the bad weather, which is why the Urca was partially destroyed and beached nearby. And they were unloadng the gold onto the beach (with the Spanish man-o-war crew as well I assume).
