Billy and Silver were literally the entire reason that everything in the show went wrong. Like Flint could have gotten the gold within 2 episodes had it not been for Silvers greed and Billy's cowardice. He may have been a terrible person but Flint was definitely the best leader and it wasn't even close. Everybody else was just jealous
And the sheer irony of Billy Bones, who will eventually warn Jim Hawkins to keep a 'weather-eye open for a seafaring man with one leg', conjuring this iconic piratical boogeyman with such aplomb, and who will eventually be hounded unto death by his creation. Love it.
In my experience, the third season finale of a tv show is always a game changer. And Black Sails is no exception. To Charles Vane. Good man, and a good pirate. 🍻
"Captain Throckmorton's black spot will not be the last. Ignore it, and join him. Heed it, and reclaim your place amongst us. Until then, I remain... Long John Silver."
This whole show was great but this season in particular, Season 3 was a damn masterpiece. Perfectly paced with a lot of the best moments of the whole series
I watched the first seasons and never finished. I just started re watching and just finished season 3. I don’t know about pirates history, I just knew Black Beard and that he was a famous pirate. I know about Long John Silver’s restaurants and he has 1 leg. I never put 2 and 2 together that they were the same person. It was right in front of me the whole time. One of the greatest characters reveals. Also, this scene is one the greatest scenes in a tv show as well.
So, technically in Treasure Island Billy Bones is killed by his own creation.
Not only one of the best scenes in the entire series, in my opinion this was the best season finale as well
This was one of the most legendary personality changes

Those like Captain Vane. Determined to stand by their oath to the very end. That was a great send off to a great character.
Max narration reading the letter is perfection

This show was excellent from beginning to end. This is what a series should be ❤.

I love how perfectly the visuals and Billy’s lines match up.
