Well the first part started slow but Sliver getting kick off the boat was awful but lose his leg was sad. Jimmy meeting longsliver and getting him on the crew for treasury island was going to turn awful but he didn't know what he was getting himself into but smart taking the map but shame he dropped after seeing Sliver kill a man.

Well the conclusion was a lot better with Jim finding the treasury but letting longsliver escape at the end was rather strange and after all that trouble Jimmy decides to throw it into the sea.

I nether really thought about how Long John Silver lost his leg but watching the canon snap it and then cut it off himself was amazing and the way John Silver used his gift of the gab to get on the crew was impressive, it's a good job Jimmy overheard what Long John was planning and took the map back

Jimmy going out to fight was crazy but not half as mad as the Doc which was amusing seeing them run from him and I'm not surprised that after Jimmy's flash back at all the deaths getting the treasure that he wanted to throw it overboard
