I wonder if she would be interested in doing an audio commentary for the epic season finale? A simple mp3 recording and you can host/stream it for free on services like divshare. <br /><br />If anyone else is interested in such a thing, chime in!<br /><br />HAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091875643921165081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-74992914055044345112010-06-19T10:22:28.135+01:002010-06-19T10:22:28.135+01:00Last I had read was that he was in remission and w...Last I had read was that he was in remission and was starting training so they can start shooting in September or October. I like him as Spartacus, so I hope they don't need to recast.<br /><br />I'm excited about a second season - I wonder how they'll play with the history to fit the style of the show and what will happen in the end when, eventually, Spartacus is subdued by the legions under Crassus.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07163305215867955394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-85946062931148296272010-06-18T18:29:32.923+01:002010-06-18T18:29:32.923+01:00Yeah, the Carthaginian thing passed me by, I was s...Yeah, the Carthaginian thing passed me by, I was so busy trying to tell who was who, but good point - kinda hard to come from Carthage after the ground has been sown with salt!

This is Spartacus's low point, I think! For me, this episode got extra points for having chickens in the one scene that takes place outdoors, (the scene where Xena is trying to flog back her River Island necklace. I loved her fan and costume, too!) I always give historical drama extra point for free-range chickens.

Essentially it's an origin story, of sorts.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07163305215867955394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-85504672317323945092010-06-17T12:45:32.328+01:002010-06-17T12:45:32.328+01:00You're thinking of that Douglas Adams 'Dr ...You're thinking of that Douglas Adams 'Dr Who' story, aren't you?
