Game of Thrones and Walking Dead is just bad thing happening after bad thing happening. You get no respite.
On Blacks Sails, a bad thing happens, and it get resolved. It goes up and down up and down. GOT and WD just sucks and sucks and sucks. There is like no hope for these character so why keep watching. Black Sails though, the characters have hope. It is like the show Arrow with less sappy emotions. This is how they should do arrow.
But what the heck do they need BlackBeard for? Will just be another version of Ned Low but lasts longer.
And they have to rescue Miss Guthrie soon or else this show will just be pirates sailing around, raiding ships, then living it up off the bounty, and sailing around, raiding ships, and then living it up off the bounty.
