o[dsl!

OK I didn’t mean to do this but kids, you forced me.

- what everybody knows: Blackbeard is gonna be epic. He is the new alpha, dammit! Also, he’s gonna break up my precious brotp Flane

and I still don’t hate him! So he IS gonna be epic! And unlike Ned Low, he’s gonna stay with us for a while.

- Woodes Rogers and Eleanor, oh yes, their alliance will last for some time, they’ll sleep together, but VANEELANOR 4EVER, they’ll end up together no matter what. Woodes can’t be killed off too soon because I believe the writers are sort of following the book/history, and Woodes dies in 1732, but I just can’t picture him in S4.

- I don’t believe in MaxAnne... As Starz said, their connection IS undeniable, but it can’t outlast a war. I believed Anne (a woman of few words btw) when she said to Jack “I don’t feel that way about her”. Jack will rule Nassau for a short while. But then again, history just isn’t on Jack’s side...

- Flint might be an angsty monster at first, but we all know he’ll find someone he'll trust, and I think it’s obvious that he’ll find love again (sort of?), despite all those evasive interviews...

- ... and if you read those interviews, you know that this support will come from a “surprising direction”, which supports my Billy/Flint theory (yes, this shit again!), read further...

- Silver migh try to help Flint get in touch with his humanity, but you all read Treasure Island, come on guys... Silver and Flint can only end up as rivals. There’s no way Flint will let Silver inside his head, heart or anything else, I'm sure of that.

- Silver and Max will make perfect partners, I believe that's what’s gonna happen! They won’t fall in love, as their ultimate love is gold (I also think Max is a lesbian), but these two look like the people everyone in Nassau will be working for someday.

- Billy, who is still perceived as a decoration (you’re so wrong guys)... his true motives will finally be revealed. I still believe he's in love with Flint, and he’ll fight his feelings at first, cover them with his concern for the crew yet again, but in S3 we’ll finally see what his true intentions have always been.

- Billy’s “new role”?.. I think Vane won’t leave him alone, he and Blackbeard will probably try and recruit him, Billy might even consider it, but come on... He belongs with Flint and it will always stay that way.

This isn’t nearly over, but I’m too exhausted to go on with this list, I just want Season 3, please let me know what you think, love you all guys!

Day 22: What do you predict is most likely to happen in Season 3 (whether or not you want it to!)

This is actually a bit harder to think about. But I’m really looking forward to the Vane & Blackbeard partnership from what’s shown in the trailers, I really think it’ll be a fun dynamic to watch. More Silver and Flint (alone a boat), I’m super excited to see what it’ll all mean for them. Also, Eleanor betraying Woodes! 

Countdown To Black Sails’ Return

Day 22: What do you predict is most likely to happen in season 3 (whether or not you want it to):

It’s a no-brainer that Flint is going to be on the war path. He’s looking to destroy everything in his path and not care how it affects his crew, which will make them less than thrilled with him. And give Silver the unenviable task of keeping the crew from deserting him.

I predict a rough season for a conflicted Billy. He’ll find Flint’s new behavior off-putting but he also knows this war is their only chance for a free Nassau, which he wants.

The return of Blackbeard will cause problems for Vane who will be torn between old loyalties (BB) and new ones (Flint).

Max/Anne/Jack’s threesome will end this season. Max will make a power play against Jack, perhaps, and Anne won’t appreciate that. Anne will side with Jack. (Anne/Max have to end at some point so Mary Reed can be introduced.) Max will move up the power chain in Nassau and strengthen her business relationship with Silver.

Eleanor will be playing all sides against the middle this season. She’s desperate, knowing she has to go along with Rogers just to live but she will be looking for any chance to escape him she can get.

And tomorrow, my friends, BLACK SAILS IS BACK!!!

Day 21: What do you hope will happen most in Season 3 (whether or not you think it’s likely at all?)

This is quite an easy thing to answer for me, and simply, SilverFlint. Not even because of what’s happened already between them, but all the hints of what might happen, and I know it wouldn't be as easy as a click of fingers for them to be “okay” with each other but I just really like how they work together so a stable partnership is enough for me xD

Day 21: What Do You Hope Will Happen Most In Season 3 (whether or not you think it’s likely to):

My wishes are unlikely to happen so I’m just gonna go all out with them. First off, Thomas is alive. Flint finds out and stops at nothing to find him. Big, epic, romantic reunion. Flint retires from the sea and they go to Nassau together where no one gives a damn what their relationship is.

Billy becomes Vane’s quartermaster but all they really do is shag each other’s brains out all the time. Everywhere, all over the ship and the beach and the entire island. Lots and lots of hot Bane sex.

England leaves Nassau alone. And they can keep Eleanor.

Silver gets his gold. He and Max team up to run the island. Jack and Anne continue to sail the high seas as pirate partners in crime.

Priority: That Flint finds someone to hug again. <3 I’m sure it will take most of the season, but the producers have indicated that’s his general direction so yay!

If we can have graphic sex scenes with lovely women, why not hot men? ***is totally not thinking about certain captains*** 

Honestly, I kinda hope Anne goes back to being with Jack. I’m sorry, I’m just not a huge Anne and Max fan (I miss Eleanor and Max!), and I feel like Max is just waaay too manipulative for her and Anne to have a stable relationship.

I’m also hoping that Flint, Vane and Blackbeard will all be on the same side by the end of the season; it’s pretty obvious that Flint and Blackbeard have a clashing of the egos in the trailers, but if the threat against all pirates is going to be as epic as we’re being led to believe, then I think this must happen.

The only character I feel clueless about is Eleanor. It wouldn’t surprise me if she did betray Woodes Rodgers, but not to go back to Vane. The producers and I think even Zach McGowan have hinted that  won’t happen:  We didn’t want Vane and Eleanor to be Ross and Rachel, with that back-and-forth.

Countdown To Black Sails’ Return

Day 20: What makes you love the show the most?

It sounds like a cheap, easy answer to say “everything” but it’s the truth. I really love everything about the show. I love the time period and the history. I love how stunning the visuals are. Gorgeous costumes and sets. The show is a mix of everything I like -- drama, adventure, politics, romance, excitement, and kickass characters.

I love the actors. Each one is perfectly cast and rocks their role.

I love the characters. I love that they’re all complex and gray. No one (in the main cast, I mean) is a “hero” but they’re not really villains either. They’re so rich and complicated. Give me a flawed, screwed up, morally ambiguous character any day of the week over a goody-two shoes.

I love the writing. I love that the writers have balls. They take chances. They don’t treat the audience like idiots who can’t understand a multi-layered storyline.

Mostly, I think I love that the show always surprises me. That I’m never entirely sure what will happen next but I know it will be good. I like that they can change my feelings on a character in a moment. Like season 1 -- I didn’t really like Miranda back then. And had mixed feelings on Flint, especially after Billy went over-board and he killed Gates. But season 2 changed everything. I fully understood Miranda and Flint and adored them both for it.
