* There's a quick bit of [[BlackComedy morbid humor]] in the first episode's scene where Flint's men find Silver: they see him standing over the body of the ship's cook, who has a sword sticking out the back of his head. [[LovableCoward Silver]] then [[BlatantLies claims the man committed suicide.]]

* The meeting between Vane and Flint in the third episode, where Gates keeps needing to take Flint outside to talk to him when he's undiplomatic. Vane even lampshades it to Eleanor:
-->"Are you as surprised as I am that I'm the only one here behaving myself?"

'''Max:''' "Mon Dieu, Idelle. If he chooses to join Captain Rackham's crew, that decision must be heartfelt. It cannot be cast into doubt the moment the pleasure fades. And for that, you cannot just fuck him. You must seduce him." ({{Beat}}) Yes, there is a difference. The breath in his ear. The arch in your back when he thinks he is making you finish. The look in your eyes when you finally breathe again that tells him you would do anything he asked in that moment. Anything at all without hesitation. The story you tell him that night about when you were a little girl, about the place you hid from your mother where the world was quiet. A story you've never told another soul. The look of confusion you show him when you wake up the next morning that tells him despite the thousand other men you've awoken beside, that he is unique. That he has seen you vulnerable. And that you cannot live without him."\\

* During the voting between Flint and Hornigold, Billy has to explain why, exactly, Flint is down one vote. Not only is it a treat to listen to, it's implied that this sort of thing happens fairly regularly in Flint's crew.

--> '''Billy:''' Let's try this again. You idiots are the fucking riggers of this ship. So which of you would like to volunteer to repair our topsail yard footrope so that when Captain Flint returns, he returns to a ship that can hoist its fucking sails without fatalities?\\
'''Rigger:''' [shaking his head] It's a bad omen. A men died on them ropes. Can't touch it till it's fixed.\\
'''Billy:''' [looking thoroughly incredulous and exasperated] You're all good people.

* The night before the Walrus crew finds the ''Urca'', Flint and Gates spend an evening drinking together and reminiscing about the particularly unfortunate ex-crew member, Creg, who found a hidden bottle and, convinced it was fine liquor, took a huge swig without checking the contents. Which turned out to be piss. The moment is also a heartwarming moment for Flint, as he genuinely seems to be fond of his late crewman, and is one of the few times Flint is relaxed and has a happy smile on his face. It then becomes a heartbreaker, considering what Flint does to Gates the very next day.

* When Silver is watching Max get choked by Vane, he asks Idelle if she has a weapon, "A candlestick, or perhaps a heavy shoe." She hands him a machete. His response: his eyes light up and he tells her, "that'll do."

* Ashore, Silver asks three different men working at the docks for directions to three different places. When Flint and Gates get to the harbour and ask after him, the three men point in three different directions.

** Given a great callback in a later episode, where Silver's giving his address on the deck of the ship instead of the mess. As he stomps his foot (something he did from the very beginning) the entire crew stomps with him. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, showing that Silver has, indeed, made himself indispensable to the crew.

* With Jack and Charles holed up in the fort, and a price on Charles' head, a crowd of former pirates gathers outside the gate. One of them constantly calls for Jack to open up, talking as if they were friends. Jack eventually orders his men to open the gate, and just as the man outside greets him, Jack shoots him in the head and the gates close again. It's topped by this exchange:
