> THANK GOD!!!!!

I will never, for the life of me, understand this mentality. Why are you happy that something you didn’t enjoy and weren’t forced to watch is now not on anymore? Your life will not change now that it’s over. And it would not have changed had it stayed on. Can you explain celebrating the end of something you weren’t required to partake in?

To me it depends on what they want. If you want to make money, being a lead/main in a long running network show is by far the most lucrative path

If you want fame, hit movies are watched by way way more people than any TV show

If you want recognition, an Oscar is a much bigger deal than an Emmy. Like Billy Porter and Kyle Chandler both won best actor and I couldn’t pick them out of a 2 person lineup

How does being gay 'progress his character'? Literally everything he does is as a result of his relationship with Thomas and their treatment under the Crown and Thomas' father. His entire character is shaped by that relationship. Black Sails is basically a show about how Flint wants to take down the British Empire, because of how much it destroyed his and Thomas' lives. If you think it is all about his love for gold, you have epically misunderstood the show. The gold is just a means to fight back against an Empire that Flint sees as tyrannical. That whole speech that Flint does in the last episode... Here there be dragons... that sums up the whole point of his character and the show as a whole, it isn't about gold.

yeah but i loved love. she was chaotic enough. i really wanted her to be the endgame for joe cause they deserve eachother. they shouldve died together in the last season finale. it wouldve been poetic.

i really unrealisticly hopefully was waiting for her to show up for revenge and kill joe. it would make more sense and that should tell others how absurd it got explained.
