TV Recap
There was no nudity on Black
Sails (again!)
I like this show
a lot, but I wonder how
much more mileage Starz
can get out of this.
Vane's daring escape by
using his own flagship as
a firebomb, a real
incident, took place in
August of 1718, but this
particular generation, the
last stubborn hold-outs
from the Republic of
Pirates, were not long for
the world. Blackbeard was
dead in November of 1718.
Vane's career lasted only
until February 1719, and
he was hanged in 1721.
Rackham took a pardon in
1719, then decided to go
back into the pirate game,
was captured, and was
hanged in 1720. So in all
three cases, we are coming
to the end of their days
of piracy, and the famous
Republic of Pirates has
already ended, as of this
week's episode.
That will leave only Flint
and his crew to carry on
the story. Since Flint is
fictional, he can just
keep on sailin'. Robert
Louis Stevenson suggested
that Flint died in 1754,
so he's got 36 more years
of plunder and pillage.
There are at least two
more historical figures
that can be introduced.
"Black Bart" Roberts, the
greatest pirate of all,
started to appear at just
about the time that the
show is currently in, and
took hundreds of ships in
a mere three or four
active years before he
died in battle in 1722.
Ned Low, a truly evil and
sadistic character, made
it until 1724.
