'Spartacus:Sand and Blood.' OMG, it's like 'Gladiator', '300', and 'Rome' all got together one night for a raucous orgy and out came 'Spartacus' nine months later. I've only watched the first episode so far, but that was some seriously entertaining, if not mentally taxing, television right there.
Not to mention Lucy Lawless with the most amazing shade of red hair I've ever seen in my life. Definitely sticking this one out. Also have 'Carnivale' lined up, and a pile of library books that I'm mildly intimidated by. Holy crap, this free time thing is some heady shit.
