Black Sails

XXXV - S4-E7

Character mistake: When Billy Bones gives himself in to the redcoats, he states he is Long John Silver. In one of the next cuts, he talks about Silver in third person. The governor shows no shock and they keep talking as if Billy Bones had said at the start of the conversation who he truly was. Then he instructs the governor on how to take on "himself" and Flint.

I. - S1-E1

Factual error: The men rowing the longboat into the wharf at Nassau are completely hopeless oarsmen. Needless to say, 18th century sailors would have been expert oarsmen. Untrained 21st century actors are not.

Ann Bonnie: If you're angry about the whore and me, just fucking say so.
Jack Rackham: You have an itch that needs scratching, go with God. My trouble isn't that she knows how to play the thing between your legs better than I do, but the one between your ears.
