Loved this season. I really understand the witers. David Jenkins made this hard decision with the sad final story. I feel the loss, but i think that was necessary to see the farwell of the Blackbeard part of Edward Teach. It really felt poignant, but that was a perfect close in their past. They together was this big pirate legend. Now Edward is free from this part of him. He can be a better person, and can be closer what he in so in love with. Stede Bonnet is his ideal. And now he finally feel free from his past. I think in a creative way they can continue with this lost caracter. There could be a funny way how he will live on with them. So i liked this sacrifice, but my heart still hurted. I know David Jenkins really loved him too. He was my favourite. But Edward needed this metamorphosis thing. I think this season finale was good. But they and we(viewers) need more screen time, because there was a hurried feeling in the last two episode. That would be the perfect serie if they let them do their job. We need season 3!!! And give them more money and screen time. This is a very good show.
