Nice casting, but it's a network show. Dead on arrival. The Starz pirate show will render it even more irrelevant. Who wants a network show about pirates with no salty language, graphic violence or heheh booty?

Is the 10 episode contract a whole season or just partial. 10 ep season would be a good idea for that kind of show.

No, I think that's gonna be a trial balloon for more expensive scripted shows. Small start and they either renew, maybe for a quick back 9, or another 10 the next season...or they just skip it. I think the 10 eps qualifies for 'packaging' benefits...meaning it's the minimum for a dvd release of...'the complete series'.
