• ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL FINALE • This episode pulls out all the stops and delivers the most explosive, character-driven episode of the series so far. It’s packed with betrayal, raw action, and stunning visuals that capture the brutal, relentless world these characters are fighting to survive in. Flint’s quest for power and revenge hits new heights, and watching his dynamic with Vane is something I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did. The way these two, who have clashed at every turn, end up standing together to take Nassau is electrifying. Flint’s rage feels like it’s reached a boiling point, and seeing him get closer to his goal—even if it means tearing down everything around him—makes for intense viewing. Then there’s Jack Rackham. This episode finally gives him the spotlight, and after a season of setbacks, it’s incredibly satisfying to see him step up. The reveal at the end feels like the payoff he’s deserved, setting him up to be a major player going forward. Altogether, the finale perfectly balances action and deep character moments, wrapping up arcs while laying the groundwork for the chaos and ambition that’s sure to come. *Black Sails* continues to prove why it’s a cut above most other period dramas, blending gritty realism with complex storytelling. #3 season 2 final #10 favourite episode oat #20 favourite Season oat
