Captain flint gay

I think the writers did a great job with this. Instead of just throwing it out there, they did let gay audience get to know Flint, and now that it's been revealed that he's gay, I think it makes all the pieces fall into place and fit quite nicely. We can all look back and say, "Yup, right there.

Okay, that makes sense. I don't have Starz, so I've been missing out on both this show and Outlander. But I want to watch them both just as soon as I figure out how. I watched the first three episodes and while the cinematography was great I found the story muddled and the characters not engaging.

Perhaps I should have stuck with it a bit longer. I think the payoff came with the huge reveal in season two. So you'd really have to stick with it for everything to make sense. Now the show's a "must watch" for me. What a mind-blowing plot. I haven't seen this. But it sounds great. I love adventure stuff anyway. The plot on this makes it most definitely a must watch.

Yeah "butt pirates" has been all over the internet regarding this episode. I haven't seen Back Sails but I'm impressed that flint comes together with this big reveal. I can tell you history nerd that I am that real-life gay captains and warriors were a lot more common than people realize. A very intellectual man once told me that he loved Treasure Island and that it was brilliantly written, so it's not just a book for kids.

Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, and it was superb.

Maybe Stevenson had this in the back of his mind, but because of the norms of the day Well, probably not, but it does take the story and give us something new to see in it. Haven't seen the show, but maybe if I ever get Starz I'll have to check it out. I think homosexuality was condemned with the working class; but prevelant and accepted in the aristocracy, the creative arts, and of course, The Church.

I don't think they considered it anything more than eccentric behavior, so it would be easy to hide true homosexual love. As long as they had wives and children, or the appearance of opposite sex lovers, who cared what they did outside of public view.
