*Black Sails* is a television show from Starz that premiered on January 2014. A no-holds-barred look at the lives of real pirates, this powerful series (from Executive Producer Michael Bay) aims to blow pirate folklore right out of the water. The series revolves around Captain James Flint and serves as a prequel to the Robert Louis Stevenson novel *Treasure Island*. Whatever you have that's *Black Sails*-related, post it here. War Against The World!
Not black sails related I suppose but when I was reading a while back about Toby Stephens and found out his mother was Dame Maggie Smith I was like “Oh! I know here from Harry Potter!!” So I googled her and found this picture from 1965. I always think of her as the wise older women but she was stunning back in the day! Still is!

I’ve known for a while and I’m still amazed that Captain Flint is Professor McGonagall’s son.
WHAT
CAPTAIN FLINT IS PROFESSOR MCGONNAGALL’S SON
Sorry, you're going to have to speak up a little bit louder. I'm hard of hearing.
Wtf! I didn’t know Maggie was his mother. Great trivia!
Also just found out that Captain Berringer from Black Sails (Christopher Larkin) is Toby Stephens brother!
Have you checked out his brother also? The actor Chris Larkin
Capitaine Berringer ?
Yep
And his IRL wife is Mrs Hudson, Eleanor's maid!
Plus the children Mrs Hudson reads to are their three real life children too! Throw in the bizarre fact the bed they are sitting on is one of the children's actual bed.
Oh wow, very cool!
WHAT?!
yesss lady violet crawley from downton abbey!! a toby stephens cameo in downton abbey would've been everything to me tbh
How about Maggie as Grandma Marion Guthrie!!
Wow now that I know I can see the resemblance
Have you guys checked out how many married couples were actually in Black Sails??
