I watch Black Sales weekly on
Starz2 Shaw 38. I love the characters Zack McGovan and
Charles Vane. I am hoping for Season 5.
THERE WAS A SEASON 5 – I SAW IT ON DVD IN 2018 – IN SEASON 5 FLINT GETS REUNITED WITH THOMAS FROM SEASON1. EARLIER IN THE SERIES THOMAS WAS SECRETED AWAY TO AMERICA (OR SOMEWHERE IN THE WEST INDIES) BY HIS FATHER (WHO FLINT LATER MURDERED). THIS PLACE WHERE THOMAS WAS EX-COMMUNICATED WAS HINTED AT IN SEASON4 BY JOHN SILVER WHO LEARNED ABOUT A PLANTATION OR FARM IN THE AMERICAS (OR AMERICA, I CAN’T RECALL EXACTLY) WHERE WEALTHY BRITISH FAMILIES SENT FAMILY MEMBERS TO HIDE THEM FROM THE LAW AND FROM CONDEMNATION BY BRITISH SOCIETY. IN SEASON4 AFTER SILVER LEARNED OF THIS PLACE HE POSED A QUESTION TO FLINT AND ASKED HIM HOW HE WOULD CHOOSE BETWEEN SOMEONE HE LOVED AND HIS IDEALS.
SEASON 5 ENDS WITH FLINTS CHOICE. AND OF COURSE JOHN SILVER HAD A SIMILAR CHOICE IN SEASON 4 BETWEEN FLINTS IDEALS (WHICH HE SHARED) AND MADI (HIS OWN TRUE LOVE).
I SAW SEASON5 ON DVD IN AUSTRALIA BEFORE ALL THE DVD SHOPS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS OVER HERE (2017-2018).
