Most Memorable Scene: Blackbeard giving children life advice (Our Flag Means Death)

I never stop laughing at this scene from the Our Flag Means Death episode Calypso's Birthday (season 2 episode 6). It has Ed (a.k.a. Blackbeard), in his own way, trying to give some kids a leg up in life. Maybe his approach was a little extreme giving them a bag of money along with some knives. But in the setting of this show, those kids will most likely run into pirates, bandits and anyone else who may try to steal their money. Which is probably why he instructed them on the best way to use the knives.

It's funny that although Stede and Blackbeard are notorious pirates they didn't want the kids to know that. So they lied to them and said they ran an inn. Which funny enough, Ed and Stede planned on doing at the end of the second (and as of now final) season. I do wish this show had not been cancelled, although the fans are trying to save it.
