Oh, I've been waiting for Season 2 of True Blood; we don't have HBO. I think I will invest in a Season Three itunes pas this summer, though.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have been watching Spartacus. It's way too bloody, this last episode especially, but for the most part it's been fun. Some of the acting is quite good. Lucy Lawless and John Hannah have both been treats. Overall, it's better than it really has any right to be. And very pretty people. Oh, yes. Very pretty.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I tried two episodes and I felt that about 50% of the time I was watching gay porn. It was just too much for me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Must check out Spartacus...

It's pretty. And gory. Lucy Lawless and John Hannah are fabulous. Main guy is just there to be pretty and tortured.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
there are SO many references to penises though. I mean I have never heard "cock" so many times in my life.

Clearly, you weren't a fan of Deadwood.
eta: which I wasn't either. I could take hearing the cock references, but the constant use of the c-word bothered me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
which is funny because I liked Deadwood. The initial episodes were tough going though.
I guess if I decided to hang in for 4 more episodes, I would get used to it, but I don't think I'm going to last that long.

Gay porn? Good porn, I say. Bring it on. The gore is what's killing me, and I say that as a fan of 300 and of the original Gladiator, ridiculous as it was. But this last episode was almost too much for me. There were moments I had to actually look away from the screen. When old dude cut that guy's face off?. Yeah, I did not appreciate. It's definitely not what I'd call quality TV . . . but did I mention all the naked? And the pretty? Because seriously. There's some fine man candy on that show. The ladies ain't no slouches either. But it's definitely not Deadwood (not that I ever watched that show). There seems to be no deeper meaning behind all that cock.
