They're not even trying (Black Sails)

Glad I wasn't the only one to have no idea what the fuck until post #5.

I still don't know what's going on. All I know is if I was tracking down pirates, I could do a lot worse than having a few maligators on the team.

The Dutch have been using Malinois for over a hundred years as Police dogs. At that point in history Belgian Shepherds were herding sheep. No way Malinois are chasing pirates as much as I'd really like to do that with my Dutchie.

I'm not even sure of what breed of hound the Brits would have been using in that era for fox hunting but that's probably the breed they used to hunt men.

They should have had dogs like these:

This was my reaction too. I was confused. Learning has occurred.

Seriously.

And, like, we learned Pirates used FALs, too. Which I did not know either.

On topic: we stumbled on the first episode of season 1 of Black Sails online. It was boring.

It took me until about episode 3 or 4 for the magic to start to happen. I had strong doubts about the show as well, but for me, after the 4th episode it got REALLY good. The current season is the series last. I love how they combine the fictional characters from Treasure Island with actual real pirates as well. Historical doggie inaccuracies aside, the show has become one of my fav's.

It seems you had lots of company.

The surprise about the HMS Surprise is the crew is all canines.

I love the title sequence. It's by Bear McCreary. The instrument you hear is a Hurdy Gurdy


He has also done titles for "The Walking Dead," "Battle Star Galactica," and more including some movies.
