He's probably a lot nicer than Dodgy was in Rome. (And sexier!).<br /><br />And thank you! :)Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-33265626547290542362012-03-07T11:18:40.730+00:002012-03-07T11:18:40.730+00:00I love your recaps!

I think the new Sparty does a decent job, but seriously writers, give him some actual lines to speak, not those cringeworthy speeches in every jupiterdamned episode!<br /><br />You know what's interesting? You wrote that you feel sorry for Haldir, even though he was so evil in season 1. I actually don't think he was that evil. And I don't think he was much of a villain so far in season 2. He abandoned Spartacus' village to the Getae because PH maneuvred him to go east with his army towards Mithridates. And then he captured Sparty after he disobeyed Haldir, attacked his soldiers and fled. The only assy thing Haldir did was taking Sparty's wife into slavery. But that's actually it. He surely wasn't crueler than any other Roman political figure. <br />But with the end of this episode and after watching episode 6, I can say he's getting better at being a villain. We just need someone to replace the void Batiatus left. That was a great villain.Sebastiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-64134656017945076102012-03-05T11:11:32.914+00:002012-03-05T11:11:32.914+00:00Macro was much cooler than Gnomey, he was played b...Macro was much cooler than Gnomey, he was played by John Rhys Davis! Loving Haldir though. He's a lot sexier than a totally evil b*****d who used to be camp elf has any right to be!Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-59875200475230929782012-03-05T10:50:09.850+00:002012-03-05T10:50:09.850+00:00Cheers for the recap Juliette!

I loved this episode - it felt like the reckless lunacy from the previous two series was finally back. <br /><br />I'm pleased Haldir has now become unhinged - it's goning to make for interesting watching - especially if he keeps Gnomie alive to be the agent of his wickedness. I know you dont like Gnomie, but such a slimy, duplicitous character always adds an unpredictable element to the story....think of Caligula and Macro in I, Claudius. <br /><br />Looking forward to the next ep!<br /><br />HAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091875643921165081noreply@blogger.com
