Having Vane fight up to ten men at a time is going to do great things for the fan base that want to see action, but it leaves a certain realism out of the story. A realism that was created as the show became more popular with fans and new viewers alike.
Granted, when Vane is unleashed and manhandling just about everything that comes at him, his character is in the best light, but the producers and writers also see how that can become an issue. The show is taking on a life of its own and now that fans are getting closer to seeing Treasure Island, the buzz is really starting to pick up.
There are characters coming in and out of Black Sails that will leave hints that Treasure Island is here to stay and that means the gold will be on the move. There are other story lines in Treasure Island that will peak interest including Silver being married to a woman “of African descent.”
