review of Black Sails 4.4
|
I remember visiting this website once...
It was called Paul Levinson's Infinite Regress: Black Sails 4.4: The Chess Game
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
An outstanding Black Sails 4.4 tonight, as the chess game for the control of Nassau and the future of North America continues apace. Among the highlights -
Annie taking control of the British controlled pirate ship literally in her bloody hands. Well, that was hardly chess, even metaphorically, but it was a great if harrowing scene anyway.
The conversation between Billy and Long John. Their conversations are always important, and usually, of late, about Flint, with Billy taking the con and Long John the pro side, and this was no different. But it was good to see the future of the this part of the world hanging in this balance.
The talk about the new slave army, independent of both the pirates and the British. If we think about what these islands are today, we can see that neither the pirates nor the British lasted. So that new army, whatever its role and fate in
But the best part, and in a class by itself, is Flynt agreeing to Eleanor\'s proposal, and putting himself in her custody, over Long John\'s strenuous objections. We know her motives. She\'s pregnant, and wants a life for her, the Governor, and their baby, away from all of this fighting.
But what is Flint\'s motive? What\'s up his billowing sleeve? He never really answers Long John\'s question about whether he\'d give up Nassau for the love of his life. All he says to Long John is, "trust me".
Should he? Should we? We\'ll no doubt find out in the remaining weeks ahead.

Dear Paul, I just dreamed of airships flying between raindrops. I just returned from 2042 CE, where I sold my hardcover copy of The Plot to Save Socrates for seventy million Neo-Euros, because it had your response to this e-mail from way back in 2007 scotch-taped onto the inside of the cover. A Paul Levinson collector paid top Neo-Euro, because of the authentic archaic e-mail printout from you. It turns out that not many of your e-mails from before your tenure as CEO of HBO/Cinemax and terms as United Nations Secretary General will survive that far into the future. So, please respond to this e-mail, to help found my great-grandchildren\'s fortune. My Will will stipulate that they must share with your great grandchidren. Thanks! Tom
