Black Sails IV (Starz 15 Feb 2014, with Hannah New)

Published

on


In Black Sails IV With Gates due to take charge of Vane’s ship Billy Bones takes over as Quartermaster, meanwhile Bones is proving less than capable as a cook leading several of the crew to come down with food poisoning. With the ship beached for careening (which is where the ship is pulled into position almost on it’s side to scrape it free of barnacles) and for the men to get some R&R Billy finds himself very much thrown in at the deep end. One of the crew, Morley is keen to spread dissent about Flint (and shares a story about Flint and the enigmatic Mrs Morley) and Silver himself hinks there may be a chance to work his way up the ranks by undermining Billy’s work.

Eleanor needs the guns from her fathers biggest supply ship, helmed by Captain Bryson, to equip Flint’s ships but persuading Bryson to give them up will be no easy task.

Eleanor’s father Richard, who is still recuperating at the home of Miranda Barlow. He has realised who she really is and in the telling we get to learn some back story about Flint too, he was once a promising young officer in the navy who became embroiled in an affair with Lady Hamilton, the wife of Thomas Hamilton, one of the English navy’s most prominent officers. Sensing how tired Miranda is of her life on the island, Guthrie offers her a way out – a new life with his family in Boston.

An episode of preparation more than anything, the scene where the ship nearly topples over after the palm trees holding it in place for careening give way is brilliantly realised. One of the crew, the eccentric Randall, gets trapped after trying to rescue his cat and Flint (along with Morley) and Flint has to chop his right leg off to save him.
