An outstanding Black Sails 4.4 tonight, as the chess game for the control of Nassau and the future of North America continues apace. Among the highlights -
But what is Flint's motive? What's up his billowing sleeve? He never really answers Long John's question about whether he'd give up Nassau for the love of his life. All he says to Long John is, "trust me".
Should he? Should we? We'll no doubt find out in the remaining weeks ahead.

- Annie taking control of the British controlled pirate ship literally in her bloody hands. Well, that was hardly chess, even metaphorically, but it was a great if harrowing scene anyway.
- The conversation between Billy and Long John. Their conversations are always important, and usually, of late, about Flint, with Billy taking the con and Long John the pro side, and this was no different. But it was good to see the future of the this part of the world hanging in this balance.
- The talk about the new slave army, independent of both the pirates and the British. If we think about what these islands are today, we can see that neither the pirates nor the British lasted. So that new army, whatever its role and fate in Black Sails, is a harbinger of the future.
But what is Flint's motive? What's up his billowing sleeve? He never really answers Long John's question about whether he'd give up Nassau for the love of his life. All he says to Long John is, "trust me".
Should he? Should we? We'll no doubt find out in the remaining weeks ahead.
