Zwabu posted:Has anyone else abruptly lost interest/sympathy for the Eleanor Guthrie character? I think the second time she sexually assaulted Vane and then couldn't decide whether she wanted to help Flint anymore I kind of decided she was dumb and lost interest. I actually really liked the character during the early episodes. Eleanor doesn't seem to realize that she really isn't running this island any more. She put the consortium together, but if anything her being involved makes it more difficult for them to do business since the Guthrie name only brings trouble to the sellers when they leave Nassau. She can't police the island when a crew gets out of control- she needs Vane to do it for her, and that just made Vane look stronger and her weaker. Even in this feud between Vane and Flint/Hornigold she's dragging the consortium around based on her whims instead of letting them back who they think is right. Sooner or later someone is going to realize that she's only in charge because she used to be and is coasting on momentum. As Nero Danced fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Feb 23, 2015 |

I really cant blame Jack Rack'em for lusting after Max. Shes hot as poo poo and much more curvy than Anne. Also her fake rear end french accent is kinda hot. Its fake as gently caress though. She had a line in french last episode and completely butchered it to the point that I had to rewind 3 times to understand it and french is my native tongue

I have two french female friends and one of them sound a hell of a lot like her. Accents are a funny thing. Max isn't from France, she's from somewhere else that speaks French, an island if a remember.

She's probably from martinique or french guinea. The way she said her line really felt like she learned it by heart without knowing what she was saying though. Maybe its just me. Im too busy staring at cleavage to be bothered too much by it.

He means in the show. She's from a French colony, which in 1715 would be a limited to the Americas, give or take a few places.

So Hamilton was committed to a mental institution for the rest of his life and Flint was exiled from England for being gay, and they were even talking about avoiding a noose? Was it that serious an "offense" back then? I just assumed, from all the gay sailor stereotypes, the pretty wigs and ribbons they liked to wear, and how a man in woman's clothing was the height of comedy, that it would be sort of frowned upon but not a big deal. I get that the dad was using it as a power play, but I was surprised it was a thing that could ruin their lives so badly - even Flint's navy buddy said that he couldn't forgive that kind of "offense."

Sodomy was a bit of a peculiar crime at the time. Like Flint said, no one gives a poo poo. And like whatsername said, they do if it's politically convenient for them to do so. A lot of men were quite openly gay at the time, a lot were closeted but known to fancy other lads, and the majority of sodomy prosecutions and hangings were actually for rapes or offences involving children. See Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition by Barry R. Burg. It's a great read. 90% of the time? Not a problem being gay outside of issues of marriage, inheritance, the condemnation of the church, etc.

They hanged men in England for sodomy well into the 1800s and even had a few witchcraft-like crazed hysteria over men meeting in certain places for sodomy time. Concern over sodomy waxed and waned as do most things that become moral issues. You could get away with it if you were upper class, unless some other powerful person decided to exploit your secret, as what happened to Flint and Hamilton Jr.

Vane got bummed against his will by the slave master he killed last season Flint was forbidden from bumming/getting bummed by the person he loved Now they're both driven by pure rage and having a knife fight to the death There has to be some kind of Freudian analysis of this Also when is Billy Guns gonna do them deadlifts

In Britain homosexual acts weren't fully decriminalized until 2003. Oddly enough that's the same year that the US Supreme Court struck down anti-homosexual acts laws in America.

I only made it to like episode 4 or 5 of the last season. Is it worth going back and finishing that season and watchin this show/ I havent seen a good show in a long time. I remember it was pretty cool but I cant 'remember why I stopped watching. How has season 2 been? It seems people like it.

You'll get a biased opinion in here mate. If you can't remember why you stopped watching it, then just watch it. Season 2 is pretty drat good.

Amazing episode. That Flynt reveal  I was so into the backstory and the touching dedication thomas gave to Flynt in that book that i had forgotten about Vane's comment about removing the head of the snake. #Teamvane ended the episode on top. But Rackham has a ship and it's gonna own

Man, I love the political machinations on this show. Also, holy gently caress is Eleanor about to do something smart for once? She's probably going to get caught by Vane and bum rushed by his goons in the opening seconds of the next episode but still.
