"This story needs s/one to come out of this ordeal w some humanity left" http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/02/20/black-sails-xxxii-review … Indeed. #BlackSails gets grittier by the ep
Won't be surprised if the Spaniards, so far an absent menace from the story, close the season by storming Nassau & laying waste to everyone

At any rate, Black Sails is far too competent at capturing the chaotic, dehumanizing nature of war. Not holding out for any silver linings.

I so bloody called it :) Magnificent/ominous twist in the tale (and well directed), but it felt unavoidable

Halfway through, XXXIII (
#BlackSails mid-S4) spells game over for everyone, but the show's compelling as ever, constantly upping the stakes. -
I'm lagging back watching it on purpose, partly b/c I don't want it to end, and b/c it's too reminiscent of contemporary gritty desperation.

While partly beholden to history & fiction,
#BlackSails is largely free to wreak havoc compared to book-adapted shows; as I'm sure it will. -
"A lot of amazing moving parts this season" (
@TheMattFowler) http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/02/27/black-sails-xxxiii-review … S4#BlackSails is like a Rubik cube of intrigue/action -
#BlackSails gets harder to watch the closer it draws to the end. By ep 6, odds are bleakest & sacrifices enormous, yet conflict rages on -
It's not just the endless violence & a great cast being whittled down, it's that most characters retain their humanity through the brutality
-
It would've been easier to watch a show w a neat heroes/villains delineation & contained violence, but real conflict isn't clear cut either.
