Stuff Watched (AKA More Black Sails)
Aug. 15th, 2019 09:42 amI finished the third season this Tuesday, so my plans for having the entire show over and done with before classes start back up again are on track. I also finally cracked and snagged an Anne Bonny icon because she's, as ever, my favorite, and was especially wonderful this season.
So, unlike the second season, which picks up almost exactly where season 1 left off, season 3 starts a good couple months after the end of season 2; it's maybe a bit darker than the other two seasons, but not that much darker: Flint's ready to wage war on England; Silver's sometimes-coping, sometimes-not with the loss of his leg and also with being Flint's new quartermaster (otherwise known as the most thankless job on board--I mean, look what happened to Gates); Max, Anne, and Jack are trying to rebuild the fort at Nassau; Eleanor's set to be executed in England until she's offered an opportunity and grabs it; Vane reunites with his old mentor/rival/friend, who just happens to be Edward Teach/Blackbeard. I tend to pick and choose which storylines and/or characters I'm most interested in, but this time around everyone interested me more or less equally, and their stories all seemed to be woven together extra tightly. If I absolutely had to pick I'd still have to go with Anne, Jack, and Max. (And of those three--only if I had to pick!--Anne.)
