For those who have been looking out for something to watch [and there have been a few of you], I've come up with a series I've been watching on and off [mainly off], but I've finally decided I really quite like it. It's called Black Sails and is the prequel to the book, Treasure Island. That might put a few off thinking it's for kids. However, it is anything but. The original Treasure Island wasn't for kids either. Disney just made everyone think so by toning it down so much. Here is bloody fighting, swearing, sex and... actually quite a clever story too. It features many of the characters who would later appear in the original, plus it features those who were dead in the original. So in this is the fierce and cunning Captain Flint, whilst a young and scheming Long John Silver has two legs still. The plots and sub-plots take many twists and turns and anyone who fancies good old swashbuckling stuff will enjoy this. Here's the episode list from CouchTuner: http://www.couchtuner.la/watch-black-sails-online/ Just click on the first episode and away you go.
Yes, I've watched the first 2 series on Prime, I thought it was really well done, and Toby Stephens as Flint is great.
I don't mind who wins. Both have played great - going into 5 sets does the match justice. I must admit, a Murray v Djokovic final would be fantastic.
Yeah - I like to see the very best in the final, otherwise you get one of those one sided jobs because the underdog (other than Becker) has burnt themselves out.
I agree, I would still back Murray to beat Fed, and a couple of tough matches before the final might just get him to his peak, which is where he will need to be to beat Djokovic.
If that is confirmed it means that we are finally not alone in the Universe. Probability was that it was always going to be the case, but it would be nice to have it proven.
