My buddy got Starz recently and started DVRing this show.

It's off to a pretty good start.

Anyone else watching?

Eh. I don't have a problem with it. I'd rather they do it right than rush it and not have the proper context. I'm holding out hope it get going and live up to its potential.

Only about 10 seconds of tonight's episode intrigued me: Vale seeing Black Beard (I guess he's just a legend/myth in this show? I hope not..) and Anne Bonny/Jack Rackham implying that they should split with Vale (as they did historically).

Being slow as molasses doesn't mean it's "doing it right." All these minor plot threads just seem like smoke an mirrors ultimately being completely pointless without any payoff. The entire season so far can be summed up in one sentence. Just like tonight's episode.. well what ultimately happened? Well.. nothing really, just a setup for next week..

If they can build the complexity that Spartacus did, it will be for the better. And I wouldn't say nothing happened. There is dissent between billy bones and flint, Guthrie and his daughter, and the black guy as well.

Not to mention half the crew almost died.

Think what you want, I'm happy.

Aaaand both of what you mention here was dismantled in the matter of 5 seconds each in this episode

. Like I said, pointless. Seems like it's starting to get rolling though. I hate how slow the Vale/Rackham/Bonny story is going. They get like three scenes per episode and all they manage to do is.. set up for the next one

Meh. They are still building the tension between billy and Flint and the whole Guthrie thing was pretty cool watching unwind.

Yeah, the pace isn't frenetic, but it's keeping my ass entertained.

This last epsode was pretty ****ing cool. More ship boardings/combat!

bump. Second season has been FAR superior all the way through than the first, the writing is much more sharp especially with the addition of the flashbacks. Still feels like both season 2 and 1 would be better suited if they took out half the episodes and did it in the same season though..

Good news. I haven't caught up on it yet, but intend to do so soon.

Popup blocker highly recommended. You can stream directly from the site if you install the ICE script.

Alternatively, try XBMC.

I have gotten through the first two episodes of season 2 so far and they are proving to be much more interesting and the pacing is way better.

Mother****erJones · 02-27-2015, 12:21 PM

Haven't watched last weeks. But like the series.

**Ragged Robin** · 03-15-2015, 12:06 AM

welp, that was an awful season finale

ghak99 · 03-28-2015, 10:07 PM

The last couple episodes were a bit strange and had some weird turns, but I really enjoyed them. Got pulled in pretty good watching the ending tonight.

No clue where it's headed from here but I'll be looking to catch the next season.

**hometeam** · 03-29-2015, 07:48 AM

I have starz free weekend and it looks like they where marathoning it so my DVR picked it up and now i get to catch up

**Buehler445** · 02-24-2016, 10:27 PM

So I finally caught up with this show. It is damn good. I was concerned Michael Bay would do Michael Bay things, but it has turned into a very good show.

I was telling my buddy that I watch it with that after the first season. I really only cared about Flint and Guthrie somewhat. Now they've managed to do enough character building that everyone that gets screen time I care about.

Anyone else still watching?
