Always Anti-fascist!

Heh... he didn't even have to go "begging-ass bitch" this time. That's what DS said on the HBO boards when he was waiting to get the Wire renewed one time, that he'd love to take more of our questions(although, honestly, I think fandom scares him) but he had to go "begging-ass bitch" on HBO. Sometimes fandom scares me too, but "Once you in it, you in it." He's been called a lot of shit in his life and career, but I think it was hard on him, being called Stringer Bell's murderer.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I am (watching) Spartacus!

Wow, the gore, the porn, the intrigue, the gay porn. And the thing I'm most taken with is the language. I'm also impressed with the redness of Lucy Lawless's hair.

I don't know about spratacus, I can't get motivated. I have 5 episodes on the tivo.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be tuning in again. It's not grabbing me.

oh, the next episode is the season finale. I guess I'll watch.

Her hair is red? My eyes didn't make it up that far.

Okay, I was really hating Spartacus (series, not the character) for the first several eps. I wanted to stop watching, but DW made me continue. Now I'm so glad! These last two eps alone are worth watching the whole thing! Holy shit, what a finale!

Yeah, Glam, I really didn't think they'd go there (killing off Hannah and Lawless). Should be interesting seeing where they go next if they get a second season.

They've already been picked up for a second season, but the guy who play Spartacus was diagnosed with Hodgkins so they are waiting for him to complete treatment. There are rumors that they will do a prequel mini-series while waiting for him to recover.

I don't think that Lawless is dead. They showed her alive in her last scene... I'll miss Batiatus. I loved to hate that guy. Again, what a friggin' finale! I haven't seen the likes of that in some time.

Spartacus picked up so much over the course of the season,and the finale really was all over awesome. I was very surprised that they went all in like they did. And John Hannah and Lucy Lawless were both spectacular. I was never a Xena watcher, so Lucy Lawless was a total surprise to me. So, so amazing. And not just those two, I loved the guy who played Doctore, too. And all the gladiators were sufficiently warlike and masculine. The dude who played Asher was also a great weaselly surprise. Really, well acted all the way round. I would've been waiting anxiously for S2 anyway, but I'm surely hoping that everything goes well with the lead character.

Just saw the Spartacus finale. That was spectacular! If they don't end up doing a second season, for whatever reason, that's a good ending. But what of Crixus and Naevia? We never saw if he found her.
