Hilarie Burton's 29? Ouch. She reads about 5 years older to me. Maybe they've been trying to age her up?

You know what old people call hipsters in real life? "Fuckin' kids."

To me, Titus Andronicus fits your/John Waters's definition of camp really well because it's both tragically ludicrous and ludicrously tragic. Legend of the Seeker was tragically ludicrous to me, more than a few times. But if you remember, Xena took itself fairly seriously in the beginning (I'm using Xena here rather…

@avclub-bbb3af3d466d7231aa738ff95762091d:disqus To bring it all back to Spartacus, I guess this is a continuing question I have when I watch the show - how exactly do they manage to gleefully pack the ludicrous amount of blood, tits, cock, and bare ass that they do into it and still manage to honestly engage we who…

@Ajax, This isn't from his comedies, but Shakespeare can totally do camp, and it's the first thing that came to mind.

Nope, we've been notified that you are no longer authorized to view this episode. Television Control Agents have been dispatched to your residence to impound your media viewing devices.

If this show bore a closer relationship to reality, that wound probably would have been fatal, considering the state of medicine at the time and the fact he probably would end up lying bleeding in a burning arena for a while. IF he doesn't bleed to death, IF the wound doesn't get horribly infected, IF the booth didn't…

@avclub-6f097e848d3e349ddf8763d4aaa943df:disqus A high schooler who watched 300 with a massive boner the whole time, too. Remember how the Getae were essentially orcs in the pilot?

If you're not sure about watching this whole series, watch this episode and see if you like it. If you do (you probably will), then go back and watch the whole series.

@avclub-05504937cdc07f36babc5831fbf2e119:disqus When it premiered, I actually showed the pilot to several friends just to laugh at how absurdly over the top and ridiculous it was. I think "Fuck these fucking Roman cunts!" is a pretty close paraphrase of a line from the pilot.

I thought the Sword of Truth books were derivative shit, but I enjoyed the tv series moderately. It's funny you mention Hercules and Xena, since Sam Raimi produced those as well as Legend of the Seeker, I believe? For my money Legend of the Seeker was also pretty camp (Zed spends an entire episode in drag, right?) but…

I don't like Jasmine either - her controlling behavior really gets under my skin - but I thought she was kind of at her best in this episode. Crosby, Jabbar and Jasmine had really great chemistry together in their family scenes, and Jasmine was really sweet.

Skylar's a generally well-written, flawed character, and it's Walt that's the egotistical monster in that relationship. It's just a factor of how much we sympathize with the (pretty awful) protagonist that Skylar always seems like she's pissing all over our party.

So how did Barnes know where Boyd was keeping the oxy and the doctor? And why did Tanner shoot the blonde?

I'm pretty confident that Quarles has already turned out to be batshit crazy. See: nameless victim tied up in back room for a little recreational torture.

Pretty sure Quarles is going to try to use Arlo against Raylan somehow. I can't see how, myself, exactly…

"Spartacus! Steal breath from living Romans and spite the gods!"

Don't hate, y'all, Spartacus is so much better written than this show, stilted pseudo-Latin and all.

Didn't they used to have people sitting on top of the RV keeping watch, even after they got to the farm? Isn't that how Daryl nearly got shot by Andrea? I can't remember exactly how that went down.

So are we going to call this pairing Darol or Caryl?
