Whilst eternally trying to get my head around the conundrum of the actual and fairly reasonable James Oglethorpe in comparison to Black Sails’ version of Oglethorpe, I like to indulge the thought of Thomas plotting (among other things) a passive-aggressive ‘fuck you’ for Black Sails’ Oglethorpe for when he and James leave the plantation.
Thomas: I am going to get to get drunk on rum.
James: That’s fine.
Thomas: I am going to convert to Catholicism.
James: If that’s what you want.
Thomas: And last, but not least, I am going to become… a lawyer.
James: Holy shit.
Ron Howard Narrator: James would later be grateful that Thomas didn’t attempt all three things simultaneously.
pathetically super cheap joke addendum:
James: at least piracy is an honorable career amirite
