Well hello and welcome! Alex has mentioned you to me before as a fellow Borgia appreciator, so I am pleased you found me. Not that I'm subtle. Now that I'm finally caught up, I'm kind of just screaming my love from the rooftops (JESUS LOVES ME I LOVE THIS SHOW).

The cast really is phenomenal. This is one of those shows that makes me feel like it's a shame that minor characters don't get more attention. All the cardinals were great, all these random characters who pop up for five minutes. Dude, Derek Jacobi was on this show. THIS IS A SHOW OF AWESOME BROS DON'T EVER DOUBT IT.

Ughhh, Lucrezia. What a glorious arc from start to finish. I ALREADY MISS HER SO MUCH.

the outside world was more a catalyst for removing his inhibitions than the #1 driving force.

Yes, thissss. SUCH a good way of saying it. And that's the allure of the Borgias. It wasn't just the world they were in that made them who they were. There's an inner fierceness that is inherent - they're all powerful in their own ways because they are Borgias.

And I can honestly say I have never seen two characters with as much chemistry as they have.

Just so. How could there ever be two people with MORE chemistry? Such a thing is not possible. Ridiculous, those two. IT BOGGLES THE MIND.

Dude, I have such a weird random love for Ascanio Sforza. I don't even know.

LOL-ING FOREVER @ THE GIOFFRE POLL. Dying at Gioffre learning to be a greenseer. Though the cracks in the universe sucking him in certainly makes more sense, since no one seems to remember he EVER existed. Just another great mystery of the universe.

Shouting from the rooftops is the correct impulse to be honest.

One of the show's strengths was giving every single character/faction a voice and motivation that made them matter in their own right.

YOUR LOVE IS NOT RANDOM, he might actually be my favourite male character on the show. For real.

Right after I saw this comment, I actually also found a Vanozza POV vid where she ruminates on how Rodrigo seems to have forgotten he existed, and that it was probably for the best.

Such word. Weirdly enough, one of my favourite scenes from this season (other than every Cesare/Lucrezia scene ever, obvs) is that one when that cardinal (ughhh can't remember his name SOMETHING ITALIAN?) is chained up in the Castel Sant Angelo and learning to lie. Actually, there are two of them. I love them both.

Waaaaoooooowwww, really? I love Ascanio like whoa, but no one will ever beat Cesare in my heart (because I am a pathetic cliche, basically). Tell me of your love!

Lol, how true. It probs is for the best. He's just chilling with his hot wife, living the life. Good on you, Gioffre.

Hahaha. When I gather my thoughts into some sort of order that isn't just about how sassy he is.
