2 episodes left. That show started out so strong, but they obviously ran out of material to come up with compelling stories. All they were left with was more of the same stuff they showed us in the first 2 seasons.
Teach getting keel hauled was bad ass, the fight scene with the hot chick in the ship was great too.
Otherwise a lot of Meh in this season. I've gotten to fast forwarding the DVR.

I actually felt bad and a little sick to my stomach for that one.
I don't even know where they are going with the story anymore. I am only still watching because it is the last season otherwise I would give it up. I always watched this one on Sunday night and now I get to it when I have nothing else left on the DVR. How about some sexy boobs at least just give me something.
I agree but remember - this was functionally a prequel to Treasure Island, so they had to set that up.
Flint deserved a better ending though than to be sunk by a pink torpedo.

We already knew that Flint was gay. It was made very clear in season 2.
I thought the ending was solid. They did their best to keep the show relatively consistent with history. We know that the Pirates never gained control of Nassau, and that their way of life eventually died out. I liked that they showed that happening, while establishing that Jack couldn't give it all up and opted to continue doing what he loved. Of course, as Mega pointed out, they also established the "Treasure Island" origin.
I also liked the scene where Long John Silver came across the guy hiding in the hold of the ship like a coward. He was "just the cook", which was a replay of the scene with Flint finding Silver hiding in the very first episode.
All in all, I thought the show was really strong, until the last season. They ran out of interesting content and it was just betrayal after betrayal at that point.
