Well it is over, the speeches were good enough. I didn't like how some of the characters ended but I didn't write it.

The season was hurt by Frenchy McFrogface. Way too much time spent on her and how "powerful" she is.
Either way, I'm somewhat glad to see it end. The show really seemed to start coming off the rails toward the middle of season 3 on through. A few solid episodes here and there, but it just seemed like they weren't really sure where they really wanted to take the show.

The show was definitely at it's peak in season 3. I am not as disappointed in the finale as I was in general the last 6 or so episodes. The politics of peace killed it really. A pirate's life was anything but. We needed more parrots, and arrhs and yesh swashbucklin deckrat, I'll have yer gizzards.

to continue the nautical/pirate fix, Pirates of the Carribean 5 is out May 17th (movie budget: 320m... lol) and this fall on AMC there will be a 4 episode mini series, The Terror. Based on the book by Dan Simmons (Hyperion) starring Jared the dude from Mad Men / Expanse about a ship doing the southern antarctic route and something that "terrorizes" them

I really liked the ending to what was mostly an awesome show. I thought the first season dragged, and it was obvious that they went "oh shit we have half a season left" after the Spanish invasion in the final one. But everything in between and the final two episodes were amazing.

Just got around to watching this final season...
Does no one else think that LJS killed Flint?? I don't think he got that gay fairytale ending. That was the story LJS told to Madi. Hell, even she questioned the logistics of him sending a man to the plantation all the way in the US to seek out Flint's gay lover, hoof it all the way back to Nassau, and all before the Spanish invasion. He got caught in a lie which painted him as a betrayer to the slave uprising from the get go, or he confess that he murdered Flint in cold blood.
The other dead giveaway to me is that we are last seen with LJS with a barrel of a gun pointed at Flint's chest and LJS in tears saying he doesn't want it to go "this way".. there is no sound after while the camera immediately cuts to the expedition party all reacting to something in the distance where LJS and Flint were having that conversation.
In my mind, LJS shot Flint. The whole plantation sequence was a dreamlike sequence as LJS told Madi the tale. Another of his many tales he has made up since he first showed up in the series.
My 2c.

yeah I think there's a lot of evidence to support LJS killing Flint and not a lot to support him being alive. Although the flashback scenes had the actual actor who played Thomas, so how would LJS know what he looked like? Either way a bit interesting, I think its one of those things that let you take away whatever you want from the story. Still a tad disappointed the ends for Rackham, Anne, Woods Rogers, etc weren't a bit more "definitive" especially since history tells us what happened to most of them.
gonna rewatch the entire series from start to finish soon, this is one of those shows like Rome, Spartacus, Deadwood, The Wire, etc that gets even better on every rewatch.

Super super late to the part but finally found time to finish off all of season 4.
Agree that the ending felt a little flat. Like they all decided to stop fighting all of a sudden and give up their conflicts both internal and external.
I like the theory of LJS killing Flint, and flint going into the plantation reminded me of the end of Gladiator.

Max was the worst character and I wanted her to die throughout the show, but...how could you NOT want to fuck her? Mm.
Mary Read got introduced at the end of the finale, if no one else noticed that.
Decent show overall. Now I gotta finish Westworld.

I like the show a lot. You should give it a few more episodes before giving up on it, but at some point if you don't like it you don't like it.

The series tends to repeat its themes many times throughout the series. It has some really nice elements (a surprisingly good take on the nature of man for one thing) which are worth sifting through the rest to get to if you at least enjoy the action.
