The Pirates of Dark Water	comment	Short-lived but fantastic 1991-1993 Hanna-Barbera cartoon series which switched off between syndication and ABC. It began as a five-part miniseries which aired on Fox Kids as simply Dark Water. It's well known as one of the first animated television shows for children to have legitimate high-stake adventures and an epic storyline.On the largely ocean-covered planet Mer, Ren is the prince of a fallen kingdom, and he has to find the Thirteen Treasures of Rule to restore it to its once pristine glory. Rounding out his "unlikely but loyal crew of misfits" are ecomancer Tula, roguish Ioz, and the monkeybird Niddler.However, Ren learns that his quest is far more urgent than simply personal career advancement: the menacing substance called dark water that consumes everything it touches is spreading and it threatens to destroy the world. Only the thirteen treasures can stop it and Ren must find them before it is too late.The high production costs and drop in art quality after its Channel Hop dealt the series a fatal blow and it was canceled 21 episodes into its run (only eight of the thirteen treasures had been collected). All 21 episodes were later released on DVD on August 31, 2010, listed as The Complete Series. Additionally, in 1991 Marvel Comics released a comic book series based on the show.The series was created by David Kirschner, producer of Child's Play and writer of An American Tail. It was also Hanna-Barbera's first animated television series to have a far more substantial budget and more streamlined animation.No relation to the Japanese horror film Dark Water (or its US remake). Also no relation to Candle Cove. Also no relation to Gothic 5 Risen 2: Dark Water (which shares a pirate themed setting).

The Pirates of Dark Water / int_1439161f	comment	"The Dark Dweller" — Bloth captures Ren just after the latter has lost Tula to the dark water and is in the midst of a Heroic BSoD. Does he throw him to the Constrictus? Heck no! Instead, he keeps Ren around as a ship slave because he "would rather watch Ren die a thousand deaths by guilt..." In the same episode, when Bloth forces Ioz to battle one his pirates, he decides to "be a fair man" and tosses him a sword. All Ioz has to do is get past the pirate to reach it... the pirate who has four arms and a weapon in each hand.

The Pirates of Dark Water / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: Bloth, surprisingly enough, although it could double as The Only One Allowed to Defeat You in some cases. Notable examples include: "A Drop Of Darkness" — Bloth won't kill Ren until after he's performed Ren's supposed wedding (though it should be noted that the woman who arranged this promised Bloth the compass and treasures in exchange for this). "The Game" — Bloth helps Ren defeat the Korb monsters hunting them after they are no longer chained together, as payback for Ren not abandoning him earlier in the episode when he had the chance (and just after said chains had been broken). "The Dark Dweller" — Bloth captures Ren just after the latter has lost Tula to the dark water and is in the midst of a Heroic BSoD. Does he throw him to the Constrictus? Heck no! Instead, he keeps Ren around as a ship slave because he "would rather watch Ren die a thousand deaths by guilt..."

The Maelstrom crew might be composed of slaves (and Bloth is seen to have no concern as to what his crew eats, for example), and the Wraith's crew always complains of having no money, but it's still strange that they manage to keep it up at all. The Wraith crew in particular, despite presumably being the titular "Pirates of Dark Water", don't engage in any piracy, though Ioz used to before he joined. In "The Beast and Bell", he complains that a true pirate steals goods instead of bargaining for them like Ren.

The Pirates of Dark Water / int_dcb9c541	comment	Ship Tease: Ren and Tula had a few moments, but the series came to an end before anything could really go anywhere. Ioz and Tula had a fair amount of it, too, though with far more sniping. But, again, the series ended before anything could happen in that regard.

It doesn't come up in the rest of the miniseries after he is free from Bloth. After the network jump, Niddler possesses an all-consuming desire for food.

The Pirates of Dark Water / int_ea2e9f2d	comment	No Ending: The show ended with only 8 of the 13 treasures recovered. When it reran on Cartoon Network, a bumper flat out said that there was no ending and not to hold out for one as they had no intention of finishing the series. The Sega Genesis game finagles the plot a little to provide one, though.

A woman is one of the slaves. Granted, they (or at least their queen) will welcome a female outsider who openly voices her hatred for men.
