black sails created an 18th century legendary pirate captain who is canonically queer, ginger, depressed, repressed, polyamorous, murderous, morally gray, downright insane, thoughtful, contradictive, manipulative, funny, strong, idealistic, proto-feminist, utopian, kind, proto-anarchist, anti-colonization, controlling, obsessive, stoic, strategic, intelligent, quiet, delusional, traumatized, filled with uncontrollable rage, consumed by grief and shame, a literary nerd obsessed with greek mythology and classics, a proto-romantic in the philosophical sense - whose whole story is the prequel story of a character from a classic novel who was dead from the very beginning of said novel - and they expected us to be normal about all this and to get over all this and move on from all this?????????

When Silver undercooks the pig, I love the change in inflection in Toby's voice, because it really shows Flint's history.
Flint is the one who spits it out and says 'What the fuck did you do to that?' but when Silver says 'I cooked it', its Lt. James McGraw who says in a completely different tone of disgust 'you absolutely did not'
