I've said this on other threads but I LOVE the idea of Blackbeard on the show. While he was a real person I do think it would make for a very interesting plotline.

Personally though, I view it more as Davey Jones having been Hook (Killian Jones)'s father, and Blackbeard having a vendetta against Davey for something, and so he goes after his son, Hook, too.

It would also be interesting to see if the show did anything with his past, seeing as in reality nobody really knows who Blackbeard was before he made that name for himself. Some aren't even sure that his name really was "Edward Teach", that's just the most commonly accepted theory. Maybe he could be from LWC! Who knows? ;)
