Aaah, it was awesome, was it not? (Black Sails). You were right, Flint was capable of happiness! Amazing how they pulled off leaving Flint, Silver, the Maroons, Jack, Ann, and Max in a good place, and Woodes Rogers in a bad place, while not messing with either history or fictional canon too much.
Was Silver right to do what he did? He was manipulating everyone, but he was surely correct that the war Flint and Madi wanted could only have ended with massive loss of life and almost certainly the brutal crushing of the Maroon communities as well as the pirates. But Madi had a right to feel betrayed.
It's amazing just how many times everyone betrayed everyone else, yet you can still sympathise with most of them as characters. (Well, not really Woodes Rogers. Glad he came to a bad end.)
Silver got more and more awesome. And I love Max. Even though she did betray the pirates. (Again, understandable from her pov. What, another fucking war? Do. Not. Want.)
