Thought going into this episode we would get a stealth Mary Read reveal as one of the British soldiers. Maybe next season.

Love the build of the Long John Silver legend. It's been a great slow burner.

Also really happy that Blackbeard is apparently sticking around. Was wondering if they were going to have him taken out this episode.

I'm sure that will come in time if Treasure Island is to be believed.

Welp, another four and done Starz series:

Yeah, historically the absent/shortened events which could have been covered in Spartacus seasons 3 and 4 would have enough material for at least a few more seasons. They just ended up cramming them all into together. It still worked, but some of those set pieces could have been made for interesting longer plots. I'll also agree with it having arguably one of the best season finales of all time.

As for Black Sails, I really was hoping we'd get a flash forward Treasure Island final season. Maybe we'll at least get a coda with old Billy Bones.
