Yup, it's one of the best on TV.  First season was a bit rough but after that it's been fantastic.  Last season though, but four seasons is solid.  Lots of memorable characters.

I think that Spanish Armada in last episode is fleet from Spain coming to collect its debt and not Havana fleet governor tried to persuade.

Maybe, either way it's not good for them.   Though I think girl gives up the fort, it's the only way to defend.

Yea... but over 10 man of wars and probably 1,000+ soldiers... no way they can win. 

I'm not sure how close they keep with history but the Spanish won't win if they do.     But who knows, they seem to pull some from Treasure Island and some from history.

Yea, they mix it up very well.  Black Beard got shot and stabbed multiple times.  He was never tortured in real life.  Black Beard was murdered just outside outer banks.

Black Sails has been a top-5 show on TV since second 2, honestly, but because of StarZ and issues with the first season it kind of never got the popularity it really should have.   I'm OK with 4 seasons but I think a couple more could have been made.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
