It's a shame Billy will live.


I would have liked to watch him die a horrible death. I'm so sick of his whining and crying. Flint is much more intelligent than he will ever be. He needs to accept that Flint is the leader and he needs to stop undermining him. I was hoping Flint was going to severely wound him, but alas.

I feel the same way with Silver. He acts as if he's a saint talking about the darkness that Flint is and all that. The problem with Flint is that even though people respect and fear him, the ones that are close to him always end up undermining him like Mr. Gates, Billy and now Silver. But the hard fact is Flint is the one who always rises to the occasion and must lead.

Exactly. They're all ungratefull. If it wasn't for him they would have all died long ago.

Also how is it fair to blame Flint for the deaths of everyone close to him? We can blame him for Gates but Thomas and Mrs. Hamilton as well?

reply

I know, I wish Flint who have injured him or beat the living crap out of him

My question is how do you know who lives or dies I wanna know

This series is a prequel to the book treasure island. So any character alive in that novel will make it to the end of this series.

This is a pretty good example of why I will miss this community when they disable the message boards.

It's perfectly true that the signal-to-noise ratio has gotten much worse, and there are a lot of useless threads started by annoying people. But there continue to be opportunities to see that other viewers have different and interesting perspectives.

For what it's worth, John Silver and Billy are my favorite characters.

reply

Indeed. It's a real shame. I'll miss having friendly discussions with people.

Just finished the show and by the end I too was sick and tired of him. Flint and Silver are my favorite characters but given the choice between the two, I choose the former.
