    I forget the exact quote but Flint says it in his final scene with Silver "Your'e going to regret this. You're going to be looking for some kind of proof that you mattered and you'll find nothing, because you left it buried in the ground, along with that chest." This final quote adds so much weight to the reveal in Treasure Island when they finally dig up the treasure and.. Nothing is there.

    It's incredibly cool to see such a wonderful actor take the time out of his probably busy schedule to talk to a group of fans and answer their questions like this. Not something I would have expected from most. Luke Arnold seems like a pretty great guy.

    THAT WAS AMAZING!! So worth the wait.
    I can't even be too sad about it all coming to an end (though I am pretty sad about that), because that was such a great finish. The Luke Arnold interview was obviously an amazing surprise (and so many good questions for him!) but hearing the crew talk about the show with such passion is definitely just as cool.
    Personal thoughts, favourite character is Silver (though Flint and Jack are close seconds). I've mentioned before, but I loved Treasure Island as a kid, and it's still a book I like to come back to now and again. And Long John Silver has been one of my favourite fictional characters ever since. It's the reason I watched Black Sails to begin with. And, to answer my own question, Flint and Silver's relationship is definitely my favourite on the show as well.
    Seriously though, it's been such a joy to watch this reaction series - and it's been just as amazing to see how many people found this show because of you guys. Because that was my number one hope when you started reacting to it, that more people would find this little gem of a show. And they have.
    Thank you so much for doing this QnA, it was so interesting to hear your thoughts! Definitely would recommend a rewatch of the show, it very well lends itself to that. And wow, I didn't expect to see Luke Arnold there, that was so cool of him to do. Love it.
    That was an amazing ending to an amazing series.

    It really is sad how most people don't understand billy's story. First he was betrayed by Flint and then by Silver. He was the most loyal up until he was betrayed by literally everyone and by a man he made.

    • @anibalgleza407
      @anibalgleza407 Рік тому +9

      Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly hate Billy and I love his character, but he betrayed them first. Not like a personal betrayal, but he betrayed the common cause. He KNEW completing the raid on the Underhill estate would damage the alliance between pirates and slaves, which was crucial. He fully knew that, and still went with it, solely because he just couldn't deal with Flint anymore. And I don't blame him for losing his patience with Flint, but that was still 100% HIS fuck up. Yeah, it sucks that everyone just believed Silver, but he brought it upon himself. If he didn't complete that raid, the plan would've gone well, Silver would've come back, and he'd probably be in good terms with him.

    • @danielh6605
      @danielh6605 8 місяців тому

      I love billy but he fucked up. Remember when Billy said he won’t make the same mistake and betray flint? Well he did exactly that when he went against flint and fired on the slaves. EVEN AFTER THAT he could have made shit work and move pass it and admit his wrongs but he never apologize for that interest and instead made silver choose like a little kid. Flint didn’t ask or force him to choose. Billy did. Billy fucked up at the end

    If you recall there’s a scene where Flint says to Silver ( I forget his exact words but it goes something like this) Flint tells silver that even if he gives it all up and puts the sea behind him the novelty of a normal life and marriage will fade away. And Silver will nostalgically look back at his days of piracy with envy, and the “what could’ves” will haunt you. Well I guess it did considering he went after the treasure again.

    I'm so glad I finally watched this show after hearing Eric mentioning it in passing in one of the GoT reaction videos. It honestly became my favourite show of all time, great writing, excellent from beginning to end. Now I'm lost to what to watch next.
    But damn it, the more I listen to you guys, the more I'm convinced that Flint didn't get his happy ending. When you talked about how weird it was in the finale that there was no transition from the anger Flint had from the war, to the relief he had from Thomas, I realise it is definitely because it didn't happen :'(

    its sad it ended so early with so much more story to tell. lgs eventually becoming a true king not only over nassau but also over the slave island and other islands in the era his eventual falling out with max that gets her killed and billys revolt against those actions the return of flint to properly set up the treasure island ties. flint returning because thomas was outted and killed and flint wanting to continue his war with the british and have a stronghold in nassau. which leads to flint again burying the treasure but billy killing him to take the map. the british because of flints war eventually over run nassau with silver taking a pardon and using his silver tongue to get in to high society while living as a poor man travels to the island he thinks flint buried the treasure meeting hawkins and setting up for a treasure island movie in the black sails universe its sad they ended it there when there was like 3 more seasons and a movie worth of material to work with.

    Goodbye Black Sails! You guys should consider Deadwood next since a new movie is in development, or include it in your polls.
