OMFG, so addicting! I know now why I am so addicted to this show - it's basically as if someone took a fanfic, with all the delicious fanfic tropes and unashamed exhibitionism and concentrated emotions, and actually filmed it. I am wallowing in it. Wallowing.
It's disorienting watching Andy Whitfield be so gorgeous and so full of vitality as Spartacus while knowing what happened to him. But his intensity is knocking it out of the park. He's amazing. And he portrays banked but unending anger and determination, as well as his grief and a heartbreaking bewilderment at what has happened to him and his near and dear so well - I find myself actively yearning for Spartacus to burn Rome to the ground.
I am shipping Spartacus and Sura quite desperately, because they are gorgeous and hot together, and they kill enemies together, and generally remind me of those romance novels I occasionally like. Plus, I am all about our hero being madly and passionately in love with his wife. I mean, he tells her: "There is no life without you." My heart! Only I am pretty sure this is one love story that is not getting a happy ending.
Ahhh, Team Evil, I look forward to your deaths!
I may or may not have screamed "in your face, Glaber!" at this.
The episode flew by - I was so engrossed that I was surprised when I realized it was over. It's late but otherwise I'd marathon like mad. Sooooo good, you guys, so good! You totally must watch.
