Yeah it made me a little sad to see that she’s a regular on Flash now. I mean, an actor has to work but I was hoping she would wind up on something that was a little more high-profile. At least Billy and Flint have done pretty well in their post-Sails careers.
Just finished rewatching series 1 -3.
Some quick reflections
1) Flint and Eleanor Guthrie really are the villains of the story.
2) Silver's transformation over season 2 and 3 from weasely opportunist to committed and hardened pirate is brilliant.
2) Jessica Kennedy Parker is a terrific actress and super hot.
Max is still my favorite character - she and Eleanor are great examples of super strong female characters- up there with Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor for toughness and resolve - and neither of them use muscles or fighting skills to achieve massive results and wield great power.
3) Charles Vane..... borderline between villain and anti hero. At least he's honest and straight up in a way that Flint never is.
4)Billy is very much the same as Vane, honourable, although far less brutal. Probably the most likeable character even when he turns on the pirates- understandable because they turned on him first.
4) Mr De Groot is the MVP in almost every situation.
5)
@Deck Rickard would like to hear your thoughts on this.... I've kind of reevaluated Jack Rackham.
His eloquence and charm kind of made me like him. But this time around I've really noticed his immense vanity, obsession with reputation and compulsion to be relevant - which actually ****s things up, both for himself and others.
All he cares about is his reputation, even moreso than he cares for Anne. In some ways that makes him the least likeable and worst of the pirates.
Vane, Flint, Silver( from s3 on) and Billy all have understandable motivations- Flint being the worst, who will murder friends to achieve his aims, which really boil down to his obsession with revenge against England ( he can't see that Nassau will never be its own place because ultimately the pirates are a bunch of morons)
But Rackham....well he screws up the carefully laid plans of others, and for what ? So that people will tell stories about him and his legend.
To me that seems to put him least amongst even the thieving scumbags, because he's driven by his inadequacies rather than any actual goals.
Possibly his love for Anne is his only redeeming feature.
What's your take on Rackham.
