Jan, I hope you do get to a second episode this week. When the series ends, you might be interested in this book, "A General History of the Pyrates," published in 1724 by Captain Charles Johnson. It tells the real stories (as much as was known) of many of the characters in the show, and Amazon sells the Kindle version for 99 cents.

Honestly one of my favourite episodes of the season if not the series, it is just so, yeah. (Might add more to this comment later but this is my first reaction) So glad we are finally at this episode so I can now finally fully discuss why Eleanor is one of my favourite characters and it is because I love myself a good tragic character who is running headlong towards their own doom. You can see the inevitable crash and you just stick around to see it happen. It was foreshadowed all the way back in episode 1x04 by her father about how if she kept going with this treasure galleon business she would end up dying "either by English noose or Spanish sword." And then both happened. - Firstly by English noose. At the start of season 3 the first scene we see of Eleanor she is in a jail cell in the dark in black clothes, looking worse for wear. She had been sentenced to death. On top of that in Nassau Max' play we see the person playing Eleanor kissed by the personification of Death (who then returns in Flint's visions). The imagery is reminicent in all ways of her having died. In a metaphorical sense she has died by the English noose. She is never truly the same character/person as she was in season 1 and 2, her experiences changed her. - Secondly by Spanish sword. This one is much more literal. She is in the end literally killed by Spanish sword. In a way directly tied to that same Urca gold as she was out there to obtain the cache. It is not karmic justice in the way some folks wished, but the correlation and inevitability of it are striking. - In the end she is just an extremely tragic character. She lived much of her life trying to prove her father wrong and in the end his words proved true. Furthermore she died the same way her mother died, during the previous Spanish raid. Above all else I think this season really hammers home with the death and the violence how ceaseless and completely destructive war can be for everyone involved or anyone that it touches really. Not saying fighting is not worth it and I don't think the show implies that either, but just the honest reality of war is heartwrenching. See also besides Eleanor in this episode Madi (another of my favourite characters, this episode really said nope it is hurting time; can't even get into Madi right now that just hurt :/ for Eleanor it was a fitting end and it made sense, for Madi I just think she deserves better. You can say she knew about the dangers of the war she was getting into but I just wanted her to succeed in her goals really so...), but more metaphorically also Flint's house. Throughout the seasons we have seen this idea of Flint's peace of walking away from the sea and leaving the name disappear (Miranda's death, followed by the destruction of her stuff (see the teacup in 4x01), and now finally the burning down of the house), another victim in the war. My personal idea is that in those final moments of Eleanor's life Flint chose kindness and not cruelty: for the relationship they previously shared, for what he has lost over time and also just because I don't see him as a cruel character (ambitious and a bit cold and calculated, but not cruel) and I like that about his character so I appreciated the lie. Moving forward we will have to see how the deaths of these characters affect those still alive (Rogers and Silver in this case), truly a pivotal episode of the season and series in a sense. Addition: also yes Max go on get revenge on that nasty man for hurting your ex girlfriends, I will root you on <333 the way she repeated that Eleanor was dead and Anne nearly dead, oh she was pissed, I was there with her! Before that her conversation with Featherstone where she asks what it was all for now that it's all lost or something to that effect, oh my heart like for all these characters so much loss and hurt, as I mentioned above in my comment war takes so much I would not mind seeing your reaction to 4x07 earlier, not at all <3

Love how Flint, even as a hostage, still manages to take the leadership while still being tied up XD I agree with what Vera said about Eleanor up there. In my first watch I remember liking her at first and then hating her after she allied with Rogers, same as I hated Max. And I did after a few more watches too, but at I certain point I started to understand her better and now, even if I strongly disagree with some choices she made, I really like Eleanor, her story and her arch. Maybe she deserved to die, but not like that :( Bringing Spain there was definitely a foolish move and he deserved to pay the consequences of that choice (shame others payed for it too), I also can't forgive him for keelhauling Teach, but despite that I can't say I hate him. I actually enjoyed a lot his attitude in London with Eleanor, during the trip to Nassau and even what he was doing as a governor. I truly believe his intentions were honest (yes with financial interests but that's not inherently bad) and he actually managed to do what James, Thomas and Peter were trying to do. He became a true villain when his hand was forced by Flint and the other pirates, but he objectively put a lot of effort to set things in a peaceful manner. Sorry for Billy but not really sorry. I loved him for what he was, but what he became is kinda of a selfish, power-hungy person. I think Silver saw it right when he told Billy that he wanted to put Silver in power just to control him from behind the courtains. Jack... yeah he was right by demanding apologies and what he got in return was arrogance and bossy attitude. Not only that, he also accepted to betray Flint. So, you know what? Fuck you Jack! And not in a playful tone this time. You should have left her on that beach for her betrayal and stop her jumping from one flag to the other once and for all.

37:40 - In the 18th century muskets accuracy at 80-90 meters was around 50%, maybe a bit lower, but double that distance and the accuracy fell to around 15%. This in range practice, in an actual battle accuracy would be lower. So yeah, the sniping scene in S1, even if very cool, wasn't really believable, especially considering Mr. Beauclerc was shoting to a moving target from a swaying position.
