Watched Black Sails tonight (DVR), Was disapointed that yet another show felt they had to add a heavy gay element to the show. Afterward, I watched Walking Dead...what do we have... more dudes making out.
Prior to these, I was watching How to get away with Murder (Wife's show, should have been named how to get away with poor writing) and we get to see one of the main characters make out with his boyfriend, and hear "give me that hot ass!" seriously? I'm generally accepting of gays, have friends that are lesbian, but they know that not everyone needs or wants to hear about their sexual preferences. Likewise I dont feel the need to talk to them about mine. On second thought if I'm a D-bag for being grossed out by two dudes going at it instead of thinking awww that's so sweet. then so be it. I can live with that, I can't help that my stomach turns, it's not intentional, it's just the way it is. |

Nobody seemed to care when Max and Guthrie were lezzing out or Max and Anne Bonnie were lezzing out. The show is about 18th century sailors and you guys are up in arms because the main character is apparently bisexual? Yeah I roll my eyes because it's become the "hip" thing to do, much like shakey cam in action movies/shows. It hasn't ruined the fucking show for me though. Get over yourself.

Hot lesbians=not gay.
Hetero sex=not gay. Dude sex=gay. Girls (Lena Dunham) on HBO=crime against humanity. Wonder if it's because the show has a gay fan base or if Hollywood just wants us to get so saturated with gaydom that we start to accept it? Either way, it annoyed me. |

View Quote Hollywood can not come up with an original idea, or any decent story lines. They know sex sells, and surprise gay sex as the plot twist will have people up in arms and talking about it. It's a huge cop out. |

View Quote Yeah I hear ya. Tons of lesbian sex and everyone freaks out at the sight of bi/gay dudes. But that's just the way it is and you know that. Like I said, as long as they don't dwell on that with recurring flashbacks, I'm fine with it. But if they keep flashing back to Flint and Thomas making out and cuddling in bet together, I'm gonna be really irritated. They got what they wanted: shock factor. Now let's move on with the story. |

After having had some time to digest, this angle really bothers me. I don't particularly care if there is a gay character in a movie, though like most heterosexual men I don't want to see that (but would prefer hot lesbians). I defended HBO with the Loras scenes because they were necessary to get the plot moving forward as there wasn't time to hint at it like in the books. But this change cheapens the show. I am sick and tired of Hollywood thinking that humanity can be boiled down to (1) who you want to fuck; and (2) daddy issues. Flint and Guthrie were the two most interesting characters on the show. Hell, with the possible exception of Charles Vane they were the only two interesting characters on the show. Everyone else was pretty much one-dimensional. And especially Captain Flint. Why was a former naval officer a pirate? How can someone with an obvious conscience do what he does? What are the motives for an educated man turned to piracy? What does he want to do with all that gold? Yet in one episode Flint boils down to being guilty at the buttsex, and Guthrie is all about the daddy issues. Human nature fucking explained once more. I guess it is my own fault. I should have known not to expect any kind of depth from Michael Fucking Bay.

They hanged them from the yardarms under the 28th Article of War: "If any person in the fleet shall commit the unnatural and detestable sin of buggery and sodomy with man or beast, he shall be punished with death by the sentence of a court martial." No banging dudes and no banging the Captain's milk goat. |

Why would a woman stick around with gay men anyways? What does that say about Miranda? Kinda odd to only desire platonic love if you ask me. You would think she'd want a proper jolly rogering and also a stepfather that didn't hate her guts or something. She must have really been into reading time with Thomas.

It fucked up the show. I don't care if they put a couple of male hairdressers in the show, but this didn't fit the character (from season 1). The writers failed hard

She banged that preacher, but never showed Flint (that I can recall from the first season -- but definitely not the second season). Mr. Barlow's Father sent his son to the hospital for "grief" over Flint and Mrs. Barlow's affair, but it was portrayed as if he sent him there for being gay with Flint. So, does the relevance of that book mean Flint and Mr. Barlow are bisexual? Because the show has now twisted it into flint and Mr. Barlow being 100% gay. They certainly did. I do not recall the episode but am absolutely sure it happened. She is hot as fuck. Season 1 Episode 4 she bangs Flint, quite well, it's quite visual. |

Like somebody else pointed out. These are pirates. The kill, torture, maim, murder, rape, pillage and plunder and we are now sickened that some of them are also bisexual?
meh I am going to keep watching. Anne Bonny - she pissed and people are probably going to die (brutally) because of it. She is my favorite character. I wonder if they are going to introduce Mary Reed into the story. Anne Bonny and (Calico)Jack Rackham in Nassau in 1715 is historically correct. Fun Fact- The Urca de Lima was part of the 1715 plate fleet that foundered on the East Coat of Florida in 1715 (along with six other ships) and the treasure was piled onto to beach by survivors. I own a couple Spanish Escudos from this event. I am wondering if the series will follow the historical account of what happens next (Flint and Silver are of course fictional pirates). |

Flint and Vane are gonna kill on another. And Billy Bones is convalescing. Also, if anything, it adds multiple layers to Flint's onion.

View Quote It's not that; to me it's clearly an inserted PC hack job of writing. I also think the lesbian stuff is overdone. To be honest (I'm not a puritanical sort of guy and am definitely an atheist), I think they're overdoing sex in the TV series nowadays only because it's getting to the point where it's one of the main focus points in a series that doesn't need it; a series that can stand on its own without a focus on sex. |
