there's something to be said of flint's anger in the scene he beats singleton to death.
but.
i think we should recognize that part of it stems from strategy as well.
the conversation with billy at guthrie's house-
"but now it seems they feel i'm..." "too weak." "i was gonna say unlucky. so that's the thinking. we've been attacking ships with lighter loads because i'm too weak to do otherwise."
up until this moment flint didn't know that's how he was perceived. but now he does, and that he needs to prove to the crew that that's not true. and what better way to prove your strength than beating a man to death with your bare fists?
of course the anger played a huge role in it, i'm not going to deny it. but it didn't have to.
the puzzle pieces fit neatly together to set the scene. flint came into that fight with the full intent of unleashing that rage, not merely because he needed an outlet, but also because he knew it would help his image.
this, plus going after a ship like the urca...
afterwards, the crew could think what they wanted about flit's mental faculties. they could think what they wanted about his arrogance, his pride, his lies and schemes.
but not one of them would think him weak again.

People like that are so hard to find, really. So many are good at speaking but very few are actually good at listening.
I think it's important to interact too, ask questions and show interest while someone talks about things they love, even if it's not your favourite kind of things, because you may find new interests you never thought about first of all, and then because it's a form of respect. If I'm interested in you as a person, I should be also interested in what you say, whatever that may be.
Just my thought about it.
It makes me happy when they listen
Truest things in this show always happen in the dark. I didn't miss to notice the black covering most of the picture of both Max and Anne and James and Thomas' first kisses.
Love these gift. The slight look Flint gives Anne (which honestly I had never considered much before someone made me notice the reason behind it)...this show is art.
REGINA: You’re late, dear.
EMMA: Yea, sorry about that. My WIFE decided to pack my lunch today and all I found was a plastic container of blended apple, kale, carrot juice and a bran muffin.
REGINA: It’s wholesome and nutritious.
EMMA: It looked like sea monster vomit in a cup.
SNOW: Guys, please. We’re in a meeting.
EMMA: What. You’re my mother.
SNOW: Right now I’m your daughters’ principal!
EMMA: You mean your GRANDDAUGHTERS?
REGINA: (ignores current conversation, turns to Emma) Lunch was delicious.
EMMA: I wouldn’t know. I didn’t eat it.
SNOW: Maybe we should proceed…
REGINA: What do you mean you didn’t eat it?
EMMA: I didn’t eat it!
SNOW: (waves to get their attention) Hello?
REGINA: (crosses arms) Well, what DID you eat then?
SNOW: Principal trying to talk here.
EMMA: (defiantly pins Regina with a stare) I went to Granny’s and had a DOUBLE bacon, grilled onion cheeseburger and French fries with a chocolate milkshake chaser.
SNOW: (shakes head in hands) Oh geez.
REGINA: You did WHAT?
EMMA: You heard me.
REGINA: EMMA!
EMMA: (imitates) REGINA!
SNOW: (points to self) Principal!
EMMA: (to her mom) SHHH!
REGINA: (to Snow at the same time) Oh shut up!
They both stare at each other hard again while Snow tilts her eyes heavenward and closes them while shaking her head.
REGINA: Do you know what those things are doing to your body as we speak?
EMMA: I don’t know about you but my body’s feeling pretty thankful.
REGINA: You think so? Let’s see how it feels when your ASS is sleeping on the couch tonight.
EMMA: (scoffs) Are you serious? For eating a cheeseburger. Who are you? My mother?
SNOW: No… that would be me.
EMMA: (jokingly) You just said you were the principal.
There’s a knock at the door. The school janitor, Leroy, pokes his head in.
LEROY: Snow, you called to have some extra stuff thrown out?
SNOW: Yes, Leroy. Those bags by the wall.
Leroy nods to Regina and Emma but they only crack a small smile alerting him to the tension in the room. He awkwardly shuffles towards the trash knowing well what could happen between the Sheriff and the Mayor, even though they’ve been married for years and were perfect for one another.
REGINA: (to Emma) Do you even care about your heart and arteries? Because I do.
EMMA: Oh my God, Babe! Look at this body. I am in prime condition. (flexes arms) I don’t mean to BRAG but look at these! (holds her arm up to a passing Leroy)
LEROY: (puts garbage bag down and feels Emma’s arm) Wow, those are some serious guns you got there, sister! (Looks up to find Regina glaring at him and Snow subtly waving for him to leave while he can) Um…
SNOW: Thanks, Leroy. That’s it. (waits a beat, looks at two cross-armed irritated women) Okay… Why don’t we just forget about this whole thing and move on. What’s done is…
REGINA: (scowls at Snow) Don’t you have chalkboard erasers to BANG somewhere?
SNOW: (tilts head back and sighs at the ceiling)
EMMA: Babe, it’s not like I eat like this all the time. And I think I’ve done pretty good with all the other stuff you give me. I actually like flaxseed and goji berries now. (sees Regina soften and puts a hand on her forearm) Heck! I’ve even gotten used to grilled cheese on WHEAT bread! (looks into Regina’s eyes meaningfully, smiles) But I draw the line at “cat puke in a can”.
SNOW: (mumbles unheard) I don’t even think a cat would eat the stuff Regina gives you.
REGINA: (pause, raises eye brow, smirks) There was no “milkshake chaser” was there.
EMMA: (smiles wider and nods yes) No.
REGINA: (strokes Emma’s hand) And the grilled onions?
EMMA: It was a plain hamburger, no cheese and with a side salad instead of fries. (happy with Regina’s megawatt smile) And NO onions. I WAS planning on kissing you later. (wiggles eyebrows)
Both women have eyes only for each other and ignore Snow’s twisted mouth as the moment seems inappropriately intimate all of a sudden.
REGINA: Only later?
EMMA: Well… Maybe a lot sooner than then.
REGINA: How about right now?
EMMA: How about we take this someplace more private?
REGINA: Follow me then, Sheriff Swan.
EMMA: To the ends of the Earth, babe. (opens door for Regina) So am I still sleeping on the couch?
REGINA: (as door closes behind them) Lucky for you I happen to like “your guns” wrapped around me in bed where they belong.
Snow is left with an empty blinking expression at their vacated chairs.
SNOW: Well, Audrey and Sophie are adjusting really well to school life. They love kindergarten and play well with others. (pause, dismissive wave at the chairs) I’ll just tell them everything at Sunday dinner.

When I saw this lovely gif, I immediately thought it looked like a parent/teacher conference type thing and this scene took place in my head. This is set in The Twins of Storybrooke universe and I made Snow the principal. Who knows, by then she might be!
I heard we're doing fancasting, yes? So. I've been waiting for this chance for months. I know the actresses probably won't be them but damn, I'd pay to make it so.
AKASHA : ANOK YAI give her a chance.
I know she is a model, ok? But just watch the Alien spot and then tell me if you wouldn't kneel and give her your life give her a chance.
Moreover, she already dressed as Akasha! I screamed when I found the pics. She was absolutely perfect, even if I hope the show will give her a different look than the movie one. I don't really like that dress, something closer to the book's description would be better.
But pics talk better than me, let me show you.
Last one is more how I'd like to see her. ANYWAY, I believe I have a point. She's so stunning.
GABRIELLE : TRICIA HELFER
I loved her Charlotte in Lucifer, and I admit that that role as Lucifer's mother probably influenced my choice a bit, but still...I think she would be great for the role also aesthetically speaking.
MAEL : JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER
Ok I'm already thinking to Queen of the Damned adaptation, honestly the thing is that I like him and I just wanted to find a role suitable for him and this came to my mind. However, I'd just like him to be a vampire.
And then we have CODY FERN and my previous words about Bower apply for him too. I just want a part for him. I think I'd have liked him as Nicholas, like this
but we already have an actor for that role and I think they won't change it.
Anyway, c'mon, this guy is too cool to not make him play a vampire role.
He would probably be great to play Astarion if there was a movie adaptation of that too.
What do you think about these actors/actresses? Who else would you suggest? I'm still seriously pondering the Mekare/Maharet question...
It absolutely is one of my favourite episodes too, even if it's so sad. Like...Miranda /shines/ (she always does, but damn, here she is *blinding*) and the closeness between her and Flint is so evident here, two survivors who has become each other's survival until one of them is not anymore.
My goddess, it hurts so much.
Episode 17 of Black Sails is peak television. It's arguably my favorite episode of the show and Miranda's death (I didn't put the entire thing because it's too long but it's so fucking great, the scene itself for me starts when she asks about the clock) is my favorite in the history of television: how we are lead to it throughout little moments in the episode, how it happens and the massive implications it has on Flint as a character and in the show itself.
Because this is it, Flint was betrayed a second time. Every time he tries to do the right thing, it backfires. And now he has lost the only person as important to him as Thomas, there is no one who really knows him anymore.
He now has no reason to hold back anymore.
PS: If Gates and Billy made me sad, you wouldn't believe how devastated I feel about Miranda and Thomas.
