So upon
sabotabby's repeated references, I started watching Black Sails, and it's the absolute bomb. I mean I can't really hide my weakness for pirates. (See my collection of political theory books about piracy, and my obsession with the Monkey Island games...)
So I kept thinking I had seen Toby Stephens before; he reminds me a fair bit of Hugh Grant, but I knew it wasn't simply that. Then this morning as I was ruminating over that in the bathroom, it came back; he was starring as Danton in the play Danton's Death, which F and I had seen at the National Theatre in London. Other than being a handsome fella (the real Danton was ugly as fuck), he delivered a pretty awesome performance. We were sitting high up in the rafters but his performance still reached us.
Max's character is awesome but I find Jessica Parker Kennedy's French accent to be such a porny stereotype as to be distracting.
Zach McGowan's face (Captain Vane) reminders me of a former boss I've had, who was entertaining but rather creepy towards women... and minus the abtastic body of course.
Yet another series to kill my sleep... Damn you!

I hope you love it as much as I do and can join me in hoisting the black at a protest at some point. (I want this, I just don't really have anywhere to put it between protests.
Max's accent gets a bit better? Or at least her character development is such that it's less distracting.

Now you're making me want to figure out what a Kurdish black flag would look like...
(Probably something with a faroher...)
