Black Sails is consistently awesome in season 2. Historically inaccurate, but who cares; top notch acting, writing, props & action
@Firas_Atraqchi I haven't seen it, nor do I plan to. How does that relate to what I was talking about?

@asteris can't believe I missed the first season -
@Firas_Atraqchi truth be told, s1 seemed dull & becalmed at times, compared to what followed. But in retrospect, it was worth the wait. -
@asteris@Firas_Atraqchi I didn't like season 1 at all, sounds like I need to give it another chance. -
@majda72 if you didn't like the characters themselves, maybe not so much, but s2 develops & gives them a wild ride, much like Galactica did -
@asteris I liked the history & most characters, but couldn't stomach the female roles. Felt the same about GoT which I now love. -
@majda72 I first started watching, then reading GoT, they admirably shrunk/covered plenty of ground; but this crew honed a series in 18 eps -
@asteris cool, your recommendation is enough to get me watching again. -
@majda72 line from IGN review of penultimate ep, which I agree with "everything's meant something, and been integral to the giant puzzle" ;)

@asteris accuracy matters especially when some think the screen offers absolute truth. However, I do want to watch Black Sails. With caveats -
@Firas_Atraqchi a larger conversation, Black Sails never claimed to be historically accurate to begin with, I don't find that dishonest -
@asteris nah not dishonest but hey the audience swallows hook line and sinker. No puns. -
@Firas_Atraqchi also a larger issue (not just fiction). I can appreciate competent, creative remixing of history, always indicate when I do -
@asteris hope you're not a JJ Abrams fan on Star Trek -
@Firas_Atraqchi lol, I'm not really an Abrams fan in general, I see through his tropes; but I did like parts of what he tried to do there -
@asteris am more optimistic re: Star Wars -
@Firas_Atraqchi heh, I advocated early on for filming the Dark Jedi trilogy instead of the crap that I-III became. Not so optimistic anymore
