Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The adventures of Long John Silver are far from over when the pirate TV show Black Sails comes to an end. Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure novel Treasure Island, Black Sails serves as a prequel story following Captain James Flint and his crew of pirates.
9 John Silver Marries Madi Black Sail implies that Madi is John's future wife. Close Since Madi and John never get married during Black Sails, it is implied that they are married sometime afterward because John later refers to her as his wife. However, this suggests that sometime after Black Sails, John and Madi left the Caribbean and started a new life in England. At the end of the series, Nassau is unofficially run by Max , John's former friend with whom he has a complicated relationship. The Golden Age of Piracy coming to an end as Jack Rackham and Anne Bonny met their demise may have also prompted the former couple to leave. However, John appears to have done well in Bristol, finding a source of income and a comfortable life.
The parrot's name is apparently an inside joke John made to himself, given his history with the famous captain. He spins a very extensive tale about the parrot, telling Jim: Some of the other pirates left the Caribbean for England after Black Sails and John remained in contact with them, as he was able to re-recruit them so quickly. Among them is Black Sails cast member Israel Hands , Blackbeard's former first mate, and a key ally to John in the TV series. With Hands and the others, John assembles a crew within a crew that is entirely loyal to him.
Of course, John eventually meets and befriends Jim, the young protagonist of Treasure Island who comes to possess Billy's map to Flint's treasure and sets out to claim the fortune. The Treasure Island novel emphasizes how all the characters buy into John's false persona, saying that they find him very trustworthy. Jim also forms a strong bond with John during their voyage.
