Television A-C: 'B' Trivia

1. What genre does the TV series 'Black Sails,' starring Toby Stephens, Hannah New and Zach McGowan, fall under?

From Quiz 'Black Sails' the Series (Part One)

Answer: Pirate Adventure

'Black Sails' is a pirate adventure series. It is, in fact, the prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's novel 'Treasure Island.' The show, which is set in 1715, revolves around a certain Captain Flint who is played by Toby Stephens (you might remember him as the villain in 'Die Another Day'). In the series, Captain Flint enjoys the reputation of being a brilliant and very feared Golden Age pirate. Supporting actors include Hannah New as Eleanor Guthrie, Zach McGowan as Charles Vane, Tom Hopper as Billy Bones and Luke Arnold as Long John Silver. To be honest, I thought this show would mainly appeal to men when I saw the trailer, however I ended up absolutely loving it, and have watched it twice. There are many swashbuckling adventures in the show, a lot of alliance changes and betrayals, quite a lot of violent deaths, some funny parts, and several love stories... basically something for everyone.

From Quiz "Brave New World" - Beauteous Mankind

Answer: Aldous Huxley

Huxley's now-classic novel depicts a Utopia challenged in its perfection from within and without. This television adaptation (there have been many adaptations -- radio, television, film) is only loosely connected to the text, which may be a blessing as the original is subject to criticism for being sexist, classist and racist. This version only skims the philosophical issues raised by the book.
