that keelhauling scene....

#fucking... it just keeps on going... #this show is very sparse with actual gory scenes - most horror happens just off camera or is told about rather than shown #which I think is a good choice - so when a scene like this comes about #or the later one with anne and the glass #it just punches you square in the face #black sails #in general season 4 is just a release of everything kept bottled up before #and this is WITH the acknowledgement that season 1 practically opens up with flint fighting another man to the death #the first 3 seasons build up all the pieces so that the metaphorical dominos can fall in s4
