The fight for Nassau looms closer in the present while a solution to the chaos is proposed in the past. Anne tells us what she's thinking. Eleanor takes a side. Flint wonders if he's the villain. Lots to talk about! Music: www.bensound.com

Attention shifts away from the Walrus for a moment to focus on what's happening on Nassau with Vane, Eleanor, Jack, Max and Anne. This episode also has a lot of non-gratuitous sex. Music: www.bensound.com

The hits keep coming! Ned continues his reign of chaos in Eleanor's Nassau while Max, Anne and Jack's relationships complicate. Meanwhile, Silver and Flint race against time to reclaim their rightful positions on the crew of the Walrus. We love all of it. Music: www.bensound.com

Spoiler warning for the story of Treasure Island! Before moving on to season 2, we take a deep dive into the themes and characters of Treasure Island from the POV of a first time viewer. If you are watching Black Sails with no knowledge of Treasure Island and want to keep it that way, skip this one. Music: www.bensound.com

We discuss the epic season one finale with our friend and treasure island expert Ned. We talk about the fate of Gates and Flint's relationship, the season one arcs of Eleanor and Max, and who John Silver is revealing himself to really be. Music: www.bensound.com

Flint's mission gains clarity as everything else starts to crumble. We talk about Randall v Silver, the ramifications of last episode on Gates and the crew, and Vane's rebirth. Music: www.bensound.com

The pirates take a break from Nassau to do their chores under Billy's leadership, and tensions escalate. We talk about Eleanor's plan to secure guns for the pirates, Flint's decision to act on Silver's words, and the inevitability of these stories. Also, Betsy's star turn. Music: www.bensound.com

We learn more about the "witch" who has a spell on Flint, Jack's plan to get back in with his crew, and how much power Eleanor really has. We also talk about the types of love we see between characters, pirate accords, and the roles of leadership inside a pirate crew. Music: www.bensound.com

We discuss episode two, where things get more political and more… domestic? Eleanor and Max reach a critical impasse. Silver continues to improvise. Chelsea and Louis contemplate questions like “Why would a pirate want or bury treasure?” “Why does our big bad pirate have a house?” “What or who is this all really for?” Music: www.bensound.com

We're ready to talk about the very first episode of the series. Which characters get great introductions, which ones not so much? What war is Flint talking about? Why does that awful "blackbeard" scene exist? Why does John Silver have TWO legs?! Music: www.bensound.com
