On Spartacus 3x08, and why it is my own damn fault.

Why did I decide it was a good idea to watch this show?

HAHA.

And yes, I’m allowed to laugh at you because I’m in the same boat. I weep with you.

I finished season one just because of Lucy Lawless breast and the astonishing amount of cock that was shown (I’m shallow like that). But since my somewhat favourite character was dying on screen and Any Whitefield dying of cancer off screen I never even considered watching any further seasons.

And then came pandorah along with some nice queer baiting gif sets and voilà I was watching the second season within a day. I’m that easy.

I knew everyone was going to die in the end (SDK will not alter the ending towards a positive outcome, I’m sure of it), but I didn’t care at first. And then there is Agron and Nasir, the reason I started watching again, and I just love those two (and not just because they have some hot many sex). I didn’t think I would become so invested in them. They’re so cute and stuff and they will die. Weep with me.

Sister! Let us fall into each others arms and weep together in eery chorus. (Ahem, sorry. *g*)

There is nothing wrong with being shallow like that, if you ask me. :-) I think it's about time television gave equal time to naked guys. And why not cover them in gold leaf while they're at it.

Lucretia was your favorite character, then? I loved her too - she was awesomely horrible. And I also really missed Batiatus, for the same reason. And I loved that these two rotten people were so honestly devoted to each other - they really were in love! Right to the end.

I knew everyone was going to die in the end (SDK will not alter the ending towards a positive outcome, I’m sure of it), but I didn’t care at first. Yep. That sounds so familiar. So very, very familiar

I’m so glad someone on my flist is watching the show as well, for I’m not alone in my pain anymore.

Lucretia and Batiatus were kick ass. I never thought I could like such rotten (perfect word for those two!!) characters that much! But I am glad to be rid of Ilithya and Glaber. They were meant to be hated and gods, did I hate them.

They did a good job on the “villains” of this season. Crassus and Ceasar are almost likeable, I even can understand their motivation. I was rather perplexed to what happened to Ceasar, didn’t see that one coming.

As for Tiberius. Haven’t we had at least one good-looking young and overachieving Roman who’s only purpose was to be cruel and unlikable and eventually die. Tiberius in this season, Seppius (who lusted after his sister) in the last, I didn’t, watch “Gods of the Arena, so I don’t know about that, but there is Numerius in season one (the one who force Spartacus to kill his Friend Varro).

And more importantly, I think that if Agron were truly dead, he would have gotten a different send-off.

Heee, I just posted an entire new post because my reply to your first comment got out of hand

Ich habe den Trailer gefunden, in dem man Szenen sieht, die bis jetzt noch nicht da waren.
Ganz am Anfang ist die Szene mit verwundeten/bandagiertem Agron. Und ab 58 fängt die Schlachtszene an. Guck es besser in HD, sonst ist alle snur ein verschwommenerBlop. :)

Danke dir! :-) Ich hab ihn mir noch nicht angesehen weil ich mittlerweile in Sachen Agron beruhigt bin - und was den Rest angeht, bin ich mir noch nicht sicher, ob ich "Vorwarnung" möchte.

Es ist aber gut, die Möglichkeit zu haben! :-)
