PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS 2023-24

I want him to know who he is before your family tries to tell him who they want him to be. He is better than that. He has better things in him than that.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Prophecy Comes True & Full Season – TV Review

TL;DR – Some staging issues aside, I am glad to see that Percy Jackson stuck the landing as it brought season 1 to a close. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. Disclosure – I paid for the Disney+ service that viewed this series.Post-Credit Scene – There is a mid-credit scene. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Review – Well, we have come to the end of the first and hopefully not the last season of Percy…

I have so much screaming about Percy Jackson to do (Toby Stephens you will always be famous), but I haven't seen anyone mention yet that Nick Boraine has been the voice of Kronos!

Here’s Why Everyone Is Talking About A Pirate Drama That Ended In 2017

Black Sails has been described as Game of Thrones with pirates

If Black Sails kicked off in 2020 instead of 2014, it certainly would have thrown fuel on the raging fire that was TikTok’s sea shanty obsession. The reality is that this TV series aired on Starz from 2014 for four seasons, coming to a close in 2017. So why is everyone talking about it now, a decade after it began?

Black Sails is coming to Netflix very soon, triggering its fans to emerge from the woodwork and promote the show online. ‘I am SO excited for people who’ll be watching this show for the first time,’ one user wrote, with many others recommending the series to fans of Game of Thrones. With House of the Dragon still a few months away, here’s why you should tune into Black Sails this month.

New To Netflix: Black Sails

What Is Black Sails About?

Black Sails transports us back to 1715 – aka the Golden Age of Piracy. Set in New Providence, an island in the Bahamas, we meet the feared Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) who brings a new younger crew member into the fold (‘Long’ John Silver, played by Luke Arnold) as his crew continues to fight for survival and negotiate their space on the island.

Is Black Sails Based On A Book?

Black Sails was written as a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel, Treasure Island (1883).

Is It Based On A True Story?

While Black Sails isn’t based on a true story, it does trace real events. The first season focuses on the hunt for the Spanish treasure galleon Urca de Lima, a real ship that sank in 1715 near Fort Pierce in Florida (where it still lies). Season two traces the fallout of Urca de Lima’s treasure being stranded in Florida, strictly guarded by Spanish soldiers while pirates prowl the shores. The subsequent third and fourth seasons then look at the war for the control of New Providence between the pirates and the British Empire – a la Pirates of the Caribbean.

Likewise, some of the characters are based on real people. Real pirates fictionalised in the show include:

Blackbeard (Ray Stevenson)

Anne Bonny (Clara Paget)

Benjamin Hornigold (Hakeem Kae-Kazim)

Jack Rackham (Toby Schmitz)

Charles Vane (Zach McGowan)

Ned Low (Tadhg Murphy)

Israel Hands (David Wilmot)

Meanwhile, Captain Woodes Rogers (Luke Roberts) – who represents the British Empire in seasons three and four – is based on a real English sea captain and slave trader, and subsequently the first Royal Governor of the Bahamas.

Was Captain Flint A Real Pirate?

Captain Flint is a fictional character who was first created by Robert Louis Stevenson in Treasure Island. He has since appeared in multiple works of fiction, including A. D. Howden Smith’s Porto Bello Gold (1924), John Drake’s Flint and Silver (2008), Pieces of Eight (2009) and Skull and Bones (2010), and J. M. Barrie’s Peter and Wendy (1904).

Where Was Black Sails Filmed?

Black Sails was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, mainly inside at Cape Town Film Studio. Because the real city is so different today than it was in the 1700s, Nassau – the capital of the Bahamas, located on New Providence island – was built from scratch in a studio over a period of four months, as were two large water tanks to house the series’ two ships. Some scenes were filmed outside in and around Cape Town when new terrain was required, but most of the series was filmed on set.

The Cast

The cast of Black Sails is incredibly large, but key characters to know include:

Toby Stephens as James McGraw/Captain Flint

Hannah New as Eleanor Guthrie

Luke Arnold as ‘Long’ John Silver

Jessica Parker Kennedy as Max

Tom Hopper as William ‘Billy Bones’ Manderly

Zach McGowan as Charles Vane

Toby Schmitz as Jack Rackham

Clara Paget as Anne Bonny

Mark Ryan as Hal Gates

Hakeem Kae-Kazim as Mr. Scott

Sean Cameron Michael as Richard Guthrie

Louise Barnes as Miranda Hamilton/Barlow

Rupert Penry-Jones as Thomas Hamilton

Luke Roberts as Woodes Rogers

Ray Stevenson as Edward Teach

David Wilmot as Israel Hands

Harriet Walter as Marion Guthrie

The Breed (2006)

Release Date: May 18th, 2006

I have many mixed feelings about this one. It’s a Wes Craven horror film, so I expected it to be super good. These people are on an island their late uncle owned, there are no other people there, and then suddenly a pack of dogs attack them. You would think, oh, werewolves? Nope. Supernatural? Noooopppeeee. Genetically enhanced military dogs. Yes, that is who the killers are. There are times where I honestly cannot believe it’s not a comedy movie, like when the guy is swimming out to the drifting plane, and it turns, and there are 2 dogs just hanging out on the wing. That is SUPER funny. They don’t even look like scary dogs! They haven’t physically mutated, they’re just normal dogs! I think they’re German Shepherds. I was embarrassed. 

Rating: D. A girl from Orange is the New Black is in it. She can’t...... Act......

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of – TV Review

Disclosure – I paid for the Disney+ service that viewed this series.Post-Credit Scene – There is a mid-credit scene. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Review – We are getting to the pointy end of the season, and we are about to dive into the penultimate episode of the season. It is…

Black Sails S02E09 (XVII) and S04E10 (XXXVIII)

The clock in Peter Ashe’s dining room is very important: Miranda notices it is the same clock that “used to reside” in Thomas Hamilton’s parlour in London. Why is it there, in this Carolina mansion? Who gave it to Ashe? He explains it was a gift from Lord Alfred Hamilton, and confesses he was the one who betrayed James and Thomas ten years before.

But the clock is destined to move on to another owner: we can see it in a sitting room at the Savannah plantation where Flint and Thomas are finally reunited, a place where a “reform-minded man” gives shelter and labour to troublesome members of prominent London families. This explains how Thomas got there: it was Ashe who brought him by request of Lord Hamilton. Ashe probably sent his own daughter Abigail to the same place: remember in S02E10, when she was sent to Savannah, to Mr. Ashford’s house “for a few days”? We don’t know what happened to her, but nobody tells us it wasn’t the same plantation.

Why was the clock given to the owner of the plantation? As a gift or as a payment for his services? In any case, it’s a detail from the past which helps us to make the Thomas mystery clearer.
