a very serious pirate show

4.07 // 4.10

I found out about this show in November and i have never become obsessed with a show at this rate. I made long posts about it, something i haven't done for any show since i joined tumblr four years ago. It was such a joy to watch it and to be a part of this lovely fandom that i regret i didn't get to know about it earlier. Today i watched the series finale. And i have no words for it. It was THAT GOOD AND SO SATISFYING. I plan to watch it again, read treasure island and then talk about everything that happened in 4.10. I was so ready that the finale will leave me with an aching heart and a sobbing mess. But i CAN NOT believe how unexpected that ending was. I admit i was crying by the end of it, but those were tears of joy. The extraordinarily talented people of Black Sails did such an amazing job. They made us fall in love and root for pirates. And not the kind of pirates we were used to seeing. They made us love filthy, lying, scheming, back stabbing, murderous pirates; who didn't care much about the innocents, didn't have most moral values and literally burned a city to the ground. They made us see the world through their eyes, made us understand their point of view that we didn't just accept it, we were rooting for it. They made us love piracy. And even though they concluded the series with the end of the Golden Age of Piracy, it truly felt like a new beginning for all our beloved characters. They survived, they had a happy end which was something i was not at all expecting. The best part, IT MADE SENSE! The narrative, how it came to be and how it ended, it all made sense and was truly acceptable. How nicely they handled all and every type of relationship. The recalls made to previous seasons. Loose ends smoothly tied up. The connection with Treasure Island and real life history nicely handled. Although i would be endlessly speculating about how Billy ended up with the map in TI. And i would love an answer to that. All in all an Amazing show. A Captivating Storyline with truly creative writers who didn't go for shock value but allowed the story to organically grow. Superb cast who gave life to the characters and did justice to them. Brilliant crew! because those camera angles, stunts, special effects, props, make up and costumes were just too good. AND THE SHIPS! I would recommend it to people. It will be a treat to watch.

Jack can be angry. Anne can be angry. But...but I remember the good you've done, too.
