Its like everything she says has to be insightful too, she cant make a normal statement. You dont have to answer every question with another questions.

After reading up on most all of the actual historical pirates on the show im about to start reading pirate books


Anne Bonny doesnt have a ton recorded about her but what is is really interesting.

It is recorded that Bonny had red hair and was considered a "good catch" but may have had a fiery temper; at age 13, she supposedly stabbed a servant girl with a knife.[8] She married a poor sailor and small-time pirate named James Bonny.[11] James hoped to win possession of his father-in-law's estate, but Bonny was disowned by her father. Anne's father did not approve of James Bonny as a husband for his daughter, and he kicked Anne out of their house.[12]

There is a story that Bonny set fire to her father's plantation in retaliation, but no evidence exists in support. However, it is known that sometime between 1714 and 1718, she and James Bonny moved to Nassau, on New Providence Island, known as a sanctuary for English pirates called the Republic of Pirates.[13] Many inhabitants received a King's Pardon or otherwise evaded the law. It is also recorded that, after the arrival of Governor Woodes Rogers in the summer of 1718, James Bonny became an informant for the governor.[14] James Bonny would report to Governor Rogers about the pirates in the area, which resulted in a multitude of these pirates being arrested. Anne disliked the work her husband did for Governor Rogers.

Rackham's partner
While in the Bahamas, Bonny began mingling with pirates in the local taverns. She met John "Calico Jack" Rackham, and Rackham became her lover. Rackham offered Bonny's husband, James Bonny, money in exchange for her with the purpose of divorce, but her husband refused. Anne and Rackham escaped the island together, and Bonny became a member of Rackham's crew. She disguised herself as a man on the ship, and only Rackham and eventually Mary Read were privy to her true sex.[12] When it became clear that Anne was with child, Rackham landed her on the island of Cuba, and there she had a son.[9] Many different theories state that he was left with his family or simply abandoned. Bonny rejoined Rackham and continued the pirate life, having divorced her husband and married Rackham while at sea.

Rackham was my favorite character

when he killed that other captain was badass

I'm thinking about getting Starz for a bit to watch this. Worth the 15 bucks?

It's on Hulu if you already have that. If not you can get Hulu for cheaper than $15. But yes it's definitely worth watching

Enjoy, it's awesome

Has been on my list, finally watching.

Dam good show so far. Not reading this thread yet.

Keelhauling Holy shite.

S1 was a warm up but the end of S1, S2, S3 was slow but understandable, S4 so far has been great.

I was starting to wonder if you had fallen off of the show, I almost bumped the thread yesterday

Also interested to see what happens when Billy gets back to the crew.

Oh, Billy Bones.

On a side note, I'm sad that he was criminally underused in Game of Thrones. I've heard he's good in The Umbrella Academy though.
