That was absolutely BRUTAL! (spoiler)

Well I'm never rewatching the latest black sails episode ever again! Lol.

Don't get me wrong, the episode was awesome but that brutal keelhauling scene made me realize why I am a trypophobe.(trypophobia)

Heck, I literally had to look away when the camera was focused underneath the ship while Blackbeard was being dragged against the barnacles.

I still can't believe how LONG that scene was and how Blackbeard was keelhauled not once, not twice but THREE freaking times!

Great season so far - nice to see some PIRATE STUFF going on in the show about PIRATES and not all the blah blah blah from women like the first 3 seasons.

The women were the best characters.

It was a good scene. Brutal but good.

Even after one haul, the sheer infection someone would experience would almost mean certain death. I was looking away from my TV for much of that scene. Just nasty.

Never realized they're was some other type of torture out there I never heard of before. And yes, it was quite brutal and horrendous.

It says something that upon seeing the thread title, I knew exactly what it was referring to. Blackbeard's fate was brutal, all right. And the guy never said a word of protest. Defiant until the end, no matter the extreme suffering. When they first rigged him up I said to my wife, "They're going to keelhaul him." She said, "What's that?" I said, rather despairingly, "You're about to find out."
