Episode Five: Shadow Games
Lol. Batiatus has a strange way of praying. “Rain, by Jupiter’s c*ck. Fucking rain.”
That’s freaking disgusting. They brought that slave’s upper body for the guy to examine and shoved his face in it!
Naevia is worried about Crixus facing the Shadow of Death!
Oo. Crixus/Spartacus partnership. Crixus does not like. Better ask Doctore for some tips on how to beat the Shadow of Death.
LMAO! Crixus was all happy when he thought Naevia brought him water. That smile quickly fell from his lips when he heard it was from Domina. “You shouldn’t look at me in that way.” “I try with all my strength not to. But I am weak.” Ugh. They’re killing me. And he made her smile. And then she touched his face! And then he kissed her finger! *Dies*
Look at Spartacus trying to find common ground. I almost rolled my eyes when he was trying to point out to Crixus that he can’t fight the Shadow of Death alone. He didn’t even believe in the SoD, and he was all sure he could beat Crixus when everyone was trying to point out to him that he can’t. The Pit must of knocked the cockyness right outta him. Lol.
You go Barca (I realize I’ve been spelling his name wrong. It’s the accents! It sounds like Barker. Lol). You believe in Crixus. Barca and his boyfriend! “Grab hold of your cock and be a man.” Lol! I can’t believe they actually kissed! I don’t know why I’m surprised since they previously showed us a Hermaphrodite. I actually went ‘aw’ when he said, “Mind the birds.” So, it looks like they have a relationship; it’s not just sex. Watch out Spartacus and Sura: you guys are about to slide further down my list.
Uh uh. I don’t like how that one guy who fainted earlier was looking at Pietros. I have a bad feeling!
Crixus is not listening to Doctore, and Spartacus is paying the price. Lol. Stop being pig-headed, Crixus! I still love him ;).
Look at these heffas ogling Naevia’s man. He would not willingly kiss your fingers if you touched his face! Nor would he be happy if you brought him water. Recognize.
Wow, Doctore is such a badass.
Lucretia and Illithya are amazing in scenes together. Lucretia looks like she’s scared to hope about the priestess. Great job by Lucy Lawless in that scene.
Poor Crixus. He’s so beaten by his situation. I understand his problem with Spartacus.
Naked fighting! The thought of their…things…rubbing against each other is uncomfortable. Of course that’s the last thing on their minds. Lol.
Take Crixus too, Batiatus!! Save him!
How uncomfortable and heartbreaking! Illithya touched him and Crixus flinched! I want to cry for him and Naevia. It’s okay, Naevia!
I really love this whole situation. Illithya is fascinated and crushing hard on Crixus, but she doesn’t care if he dies. Lucretia is fascinated and sleeping with him, and she doesn’t want him to die, even though she loves her husband and longs for a baby with him. Naevia tries to fight her feelings for him, I wonder if she loves him, because of their positions, and she has to quietly watch as these women ogle/molest him, and she doesn’t want him to die either. Crixus of course has feelings for Naevia, and though he doesn't want the situation with Lucretia, he’s accepted. I think he’s long past wishing things were different. And of course he’s not going to say he wants to be replaced in the match because he loves being a gladiator. Except for the lack of freedom.
You guys. My heart almost stopped when Spartacus touched Batiatus without permission. I didn’t realize I was so entrenched in the laws of the society in the show. Of course the ‘Dun!” music didn’t help. Lol.
Holy crap, Batiatus has lost it! That poor guy!
Holy shit, Doctore’s body! Both the scars and…just the way it looks! Glistening for our pleasure. Lol.
If you look in the background towards the end of Doctore’s story, just before Spartacus’ question, you can see John Hannah and Lucy Lawless laughing. I do believe they broke character. Lol.
Poor Lucretia having to reveal that there’s another man in front of Illithya. Gossip! Lucretia’s eyes look weird in this scene, and I can’t figure out why.
The candle that bears the flame of life is shaped like a penis with wings. I don’t even know what to say for this one. Lol.
It was the creditor! No, it was really Salonius! Batiatus must be so humiliated. And then he kills the father. And the child too! I have feeling that Pietros would not be happy, Barca.
Stop trying to get to know Crixus, okay Spartacus? He don’t trust you. He already got a friend in Barca.
So this chick just wants to get pregnant. It doesn’t have to be from Batiatus. Poor Naevia. Maybe if you didn’t have Naevia in the next room, Crixus could get it up, Lucretia.
Lol. That blowjob scene looks so fake.
Wow. Lucretia really cares about Crixus. She’d rather forsake her chance to make a baby than have him be weak for the fight.
Damn it, I can’t hear what Crixus and Naevia are saying to each other after they start kissing! I’ve rewound it many times, and I still can’t make it out. Can anyone help me? And did they sleep together or was it just kissing?
“A tragedy. One might wonder what happened to prompt such an act.” *Looks at Salonius* LMAO! Lucretia gets it.
Awww. Naevia and Crixus smiled at each other.
Spartacus gets booed and Crixus gets cheered. It’s like the audience knows how I feel. Lol!
The Shadow of Death is ugly. Lol. Nice touch, having the clouds block the sun when he comes out.
That’s right boys, work together! This is so exciting!
Aw, they’re happy they won! Crixus raised his helmet to Naevia. Of course Illithya and Lucretia think otherwise. There’s a reason they cut to Naevia first, ladies.
Oh shit! I kind of knew that was too easy.
Damn it guys, work together! Damn it, Crixus! Oh shit, headbutt to Crixus! Fuuuccckkk! Crixus!!!!! My mouth is agape, you guys!
YEEESSSSS!!!!!!!! Spartacus saved them! They started working together in the most unexpected way.
RAAAIIINNNN! This is so beautiful!!!
They’re chanting Spartacus’ name. It's like the audience knows how I feel. Lol. I loved him at the end.
