I watched this on opening night alone. It was so vivid, it actually evoked memories of the first film I'd ever seen on the big screen as a 4 year old kid - Dumbo. I felt shook up and freaked out on the walk home. And for the next month after.

I watched it with my dad. He was transfixed by the story, appalled by the sex, transfixed by the story again, then appalled…

The writing for this season was subpar.

Yeah both great. The big difference is Spartacus knew how to land the series ending. Every time I see it I tear up. Spartacus expanded its scope during its run from personal to epic like no other TV show I've seen.

Burris pinned that on Ray when he tried calling Woodrugh and got Burris on the end of the line instead.

I think the overall story is far more compelling than that for Season 1.

Having just rewatched all the eps this last 2d, I'd have to say the story is far superior to season 1, and the performances are excellent. I don't think this season works on first viewing because the story is so dense and there's no easy hook in early episodes.

I agree - it was the very deliberate act of foeticide.

No - I'm from the UK and there's no coverage here. We do pay for the parasites, even the adorably cute ones. So yes we're stupid. I have mixed feelings about that

Why didn't Carrie leave her kid in Argentina with Hannah McKay? Surely the go-to serial killer babysitter would have helped Carrie realise her dreams of childless espionage tomfoolery
