Black Sails (2014-2017)--I know I'm late to the party, but did anyone watch this?

I prefer the term “Sails of Color”.

Yes, watched it when it aired and loved it. Had a pretty big fandom at the time, really transports you to a different world.

I wanted to mention a pivotal moment in the show and the fan response to it, but I don't know how far into the series you are, I don't want to spoil it for you.

Coloured.

I liked the guy (can’t remember his name) with the female-looking tits on the show.

I recall Charles Vane having spectacular tits. He got them out early and often as well, so you're probably thinking of him.

He does have a great body, but I am raising an eyebrow at the link calling his character "one of the handsomest men in history." He is surely not that, and I would consider both Toby Stephens and the actor playing Long John Silver, Luke Arnold, better looking.

I prefer Red Ships of Spain.

I don’t think it was that guy.

r8 Sorry, it came to me only now who you must have been thinking of – Billy Bones, played by Tom Hopper! Known at the time for having female-looking tits, though he transformed them in the gym into proper pecs shortly thereafter.

I loved this show!

I have found Toby Stephens incredibly attractive since I first saw him. And it has nothing to do with his mother being my favorite actress since I first saw TPoMJB in 1969.

Lots of Lesbian action, but no Pirate Homo action. It has Tom Hopper in it, no Homo action The dumb guy from Shameless, Charles Vane head Pirate-u saw his cock on Shameless more, never saw it on Black Sails

R5/R9, Tom Hopper is who I was thinking of especially this sort of look from the article you linked:

For years I thought that Toby Stephens was the Armani Acqua did Gio man in the eighties. But he was not.

It was a great show. I watched it from day one until the end. The first season was a little rough, but it hit its stride hard in season two and beyond.

The episode revealing Flint's history and sexuality is spectacular.

It was a good show, a positive show.

Is it still available for streaming? If so where?

R17 Netflix

OP…and a dentist who performs teeth whitening

Arggggggh.

I think Vane looks like Cate Blanchett.

I'm pretty sure it has male homosexuality in its plot lines.

How perceptive.

R21 Season 2 has some homosexuality involving Captain Flint in flashback scenes.

Why is no one mentioning the fact Captain Flint is Maggie Smith’s son?

Because we've all known about it for ages except you, bitch.

You don’t get any lemonade. R25

Story is best of course if you are already familiar with the original Treasure Island novel. Didn't care for the Captain Flint twist but it doesn't destroy the show. Making the Creole woman such a focus the last one or two seasons was worse.

It also adds flavor to the show to understand that excluding Flint most of the featured captains were actual people. Rodgers, Rackham, Anne Bonny, etc. Though their piratical abilities and hygiene are greatly exaggerated.

As far as I can tell, it appears Anne was the only one of the relevant pirates to die peacefully of old age.

[quote]Between August and October 1720, two female pirates named Anne Bonny and Mary Read terrorized the Caribbean in and around Jamaica.

r27 Three months! I'm always shocked by just how short the Golden Age of Piracy actually was, given its outsized influence on our imaginations.

Who is your favorite character in this television program?

Tom Hopper-sex on the high seas!

[quote] sex on the high seas!

I suppose this is more your sort of thing

Glen Powell is what we were promised Tom Hopper would be, but sadly it never came fully together for him.

I think Tom Hopper could be a great character actor.

Tom Hopper’s boobs could be stars!

My favorite character is a tie between Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) and John Silver (Luke Arnold).

They’re decent people at their core if they make really bad decisions.

Even Blackbeard's pirate career only lasted four years
