This entire season was filled with quality. I think its actually passed GoT in overall quality.
moments like + Show Spoiler + When Silvers was in the bar retrieving the list of pardoned pirates, says his speech and crushes dufrenes head.
are what define the series. The dialogue is by far some of the most captivating and intriguing that is on tv at this point in time.

I am sad this show does not get more attention.
|
Season 2 was my favorite too, but season 3 sets very well the place for season 4.
|
s3 was actualy my fav coz i thought s2 was a perma loop of people taking it in turns hating one another , i literally described it as pirates on eastenders , and i was very very happy that s3 went for progression and scope (i'm still not sure why + Show Spoiler +blonde island queen went full retard on vain tho. when did he kill her father? out of show actor s3 spoilers: + Show Spoiler + also i read they only got rid of vain coz the actor pretty much said he wants to go "first" coz he wants to return to his family from acting. its a shame coz vain was like my fav guy and could have easily been one of the Bros to carry on into the next season/s basically i dont really get why queen guthry went full retard other than because what just said above :/ )
|
S3 was fantastic, raised the stakes and got me interested in it again after the drama of s2. Last few ep's were amazing, and the battle was close to Hardhome level.
|
S3 was nothing short of epic. The quality improved greatly. The cinematography, the dialogue, the characters. It all got more depth behind it now and it's amazing. Definitely better than GoT by now and if they keep the trend of improving it then I think I might die of too much awesome in S4.

I just devoured the 3 seasons. I don't know why this show isn't more praised. I expected Spartacus at sea (which already would have been awesome :D), and I got something way outside that range, better in any way. It seems like it flew under the radar somehow (certainly under mine), but this is certainly one of the best TV shows I've watched. Constant (and even improving) in quality, great characters, great acting, great visuals.
If you haven't jumped on this show, just do it.

SEASON 4 IS OUT! !!!!
|
I can't wait but I'm gonna try my hardest to wait until I can binge it.

If it is a true prequel to treasure island than 3 characters would live from the show thus far!
Billy, Silver and Isreal.

+ Show Spoiler [How it should've ended] +The story of Flint's gayness is a front to dissolve the burden of the Philadelphia people wanting him gone. Rackham is sent to tell it to the old lady to trick her into sponsoring Max's government over Nasssau, among that of others for her own best interest. Silver and Madi go to that garden place to live there, taking on the names Steve and Mary Hamilton. Thomas Hamilton didn't have an affair with James McGraw (Flint), he is his brother, and during his stay in the mental institution Bethlem he changed his name to John Silver, and since the institutions which oversee such matters are still in their infancy with regard to identity record keeping, he arranges for Silver to be his brother and heir to the Hamilton line, officially. James and Tom continue to fund a covert resistance conspiracy in collaboration with Madi/Mary and the influential people who congregate at the garden and form the two sides of the legit business vs piracy strategy along with Jack and Max, to suck the empires dry, using the cache as capital. The events of Treasure Island involve a different treasure. Same place but it's the accumulated wealth jointly acquired by the conspirators, with Flint still being the only person to know its exact whereabouts. He eventually dies and leaves a testament to his successor, who indeed got tired of the stories circulating in the civilized world, so he decides to take over as the secret society's (SS) Bank Governor Steve Hamilton a.k.a John Silver. The testament contains a complex code which he precisely memorizes. The kid he takes with him is Jack Rackham and Anne Bonny's son, who has inherited the map which Silver can decipher using Thomas Hamilton's primer for the multi-purpose language/charting system + Show Spoiler +What else is an intelligent person to do in the nuthouse besides concoct such things He became the man behind the legendary figure of Long (dragon) John Silver, leading the nightmare life the original didn't want to live. + Show Spoiler [Invitation Epilogue] +The wit and intelligence of Rackham and Tom synergized superlatively, and from it originated the fun of one upping one another in terms of technological, philosophical, social and linguistic torch carrying to explore and illuminate the dark, as Flint put it. A computer was named Commodore 64, to honor Tom and Jack's (on a superficial level 6 stands for one of the 3 types of saying the letter R, and 4 is a type of A) unsurpassed navigational prowess in each and every domain in life, and the source code of the software called LOGO is an interactive tutorial for the final version of the language framework, and as its peak achievement compensation it contains the legendary map to the treasure, and a new "map" to serve as a blueprint and instructions and contact guide to replace gold and money as currency for a globalized world with something more intelligent (IT), to empower those who speak it (demo) and bring about a new age of piracy - legit business coin called ... to be unveiled here . .

s4e10 + Show Spoiler +apparently in s4e4 flint and silver spoke briefly about 'what if thomas was still alive?'
they done a good job of leaving it entirely up to the viewer to choose whether flint is shot or if silver's story about the farm is true. i don't know any other thing that leaves it up to the viewer to choose themselves. usually something is left ambiguous with unequal amounts of evidence or vagueness, however nothing was vague or skirted around, instead they simply omitted that one second of footage. it was great
good ending, shame about the rest of the show being so much repetitive squabbling back and forth for 4 seasons that i'd stopped caring for a long time now
a sequel (treasure island) is definitely possible i think. a spinoff with jack is possible too, although they did say 'he probably wouldn't last long' so i get the impression it's not compelling enough to pursue.

+ Show Spoiler + Meh... for such an oftentimes grim show, the ending was super lame... everyone lived happy ever after. I don't remember exactly when, but the show became pretty mediocre at some point and stayed like that, always the same repetitive backstabbing and so on. Still enjoyable but not really standing out besides through the setting. I really hoped that the end would continue the trend of feeling that a price has to be payed. Like the death of blackbead, even though the circumstances where just plain stupid. The ending made me feel none of that though, just bad guy loses, good guy wins, everyone is happy. Woops, war is canceld but no biggie, we are still all content. Basically the only thing that really exited me in the last episode was the reference to Mary Read and even that was only in a "I see what you did there" way.

+ Show Spoiler +silver killed flint. he made up the story about him living happily on a farm with his ex-lover so his black gf wouldn't hate him. everything that happened in the ep also ties into the future events of treasure island (theoretically)

+ Show Spoiler +That is open to interpretation at best. It also felt like Madi should not forgive him for ending the war they all initially so furiously believed in. I still don't feel it. But as I said, the series for me had been mediocre for a long time and I felt like a very grim win / defeat would have been a much better ending for this setting

no, not 'at best'. watch at 48min again, the scene directly after + Show Spoiler +where silver is pointing gun at flint. it cuts to 3 guys in the jungle hearing a loud noise that disturbs birds around them. the noise is either gunshot or it is silver calling out to them. it also follows closely that it is in silver's capabilities and his nature to 'silver tongue' the final conclusion. to me, it is much more likely that he shot flint and simply made up the story. the fact that the writers presented both outcomes to be equally possible was very clever and something i haven't seen before. usually writers make 1 outcome much more likely than the other, and the other to be just stringed on as a vague possibiity. this is absolutely not the case here (watch the scene at 48 min)
as for madi, i stop paying attention to any of that long ago. the whole show was every character taking it in turns to pair up and get mad at another character, one after the other. just was silly and not interesting after the first round of pairing up and switcherinos. so, as for character motivations and whatnot, i gave up paying attention to that long ago, and even skipped through most of s4. ALSO why the FUCK would they end season 3 which such an epic union between all the main characters and then completely forget about that ever happening come season 4, and just return to the same old formula taking turns hating one another again? i thought they finally made progress. anyway, a good final ep even though i skipped half of it including the battle scenes coz why would i keep caring after they do the same shit for 4 seasons
