Discussion Post

[toujours_nigel]

We need

• a schedule
• a decision on
  • guided discussions for episodes
  • individual posts for episodes without themes
  • free discussion for chapters with added thematic discussions at the end of the season/series
• a tagging system for the posts, given the content is often disturbing.

Also we could do introductions here.

We start in June.

DISCUSSION TYPE

Guided, unguided, thematic posts separate?

TAGS AND WARNINGS

[toujours_nigel]

Off the top of my head I can see we'll need to warn for violence, both sexual and not.

In addition, there are a few episodes where it might be good to also warn for major character death (the one at the end of season two being a case in point)

Introductions

[toujours_nigel]

I answer to TJ and Rhea, 29, she/her/hers.
This is gonna be my second full watch of Black Sails because I desperately need vindicated queer rage in my life rn.

Hi, I am Makamu, she/her/hers

I am also on my second watch through, after falling head over heels in love with it on my first watch earlier this year, both for the plotting and the beguiling characters of all types

[pookipedia]

Hey,

I answer to Pooh & Tania, 32, they/them/theirs. This is my first time on DW and my 2nd structured watch of Black Sails. I admit I have guilty watched a few of the episodes twice. I have also made my dad watch it to make a point and after a few hiccups, he fell in love with it as well.

Can't wait for June.

Hello! I kept meaning to drop in here & then forgetting. When in June do we begin?

I'm Breathedout, she/hers. I've watched through Black Sails once, a couple years ago; it was amazing and I'm looking forward to doing it again.
