‘Crossbones’ episode 2 preview: What lies ahead for Tom Lowe, Blackbeard

Did you enjoy the “Crossbones” premiere tonight? While we did have a quibble here and there with some elements of the show, we did see the entertainment value within it. Not only that, but it did enough to have us intrigued into where this interesting retelling of Blackbeard is going to go moving forward.

Are we going to see this one-time pirate make anyone walk the plank? It’s not likely given that he is already off of a ship. However, we will continue to see the dynamics between him and Tom Lowe continue to evolve as the two try to feel one another one. This is a complicated game, and one that is only going to continue for a while longer.

The second episode of this series is entitled “The Covenant,” and you do not have to look any further than the synopsis below for more details:

“Blackbeard’s plans are complicated when a popular Pirate Captain comes to town and violently disagrees with his grand design. For his master plan to survive, Blackbeard must weigh the risks of ridding himself of a dangerous old friend. Meanwhile, trying to gain insight into the Commodore’s mysterious endgame, Tom Lowe finds himself an unlikely instrument of Blackbeard’s will.”

For the moment, it seems like this show could feasibly tell its entire story this season, but with most other shows like this right now, we’ll have to wait and see what happens with the ratings. We’d like to see this succeed, but it is going to be hard airing on Friday nights in the summer.
